How to Celebrate Global Movie Day in Harley Quinn Month? 🎥🔶💘🔷🎬

Every February

Second Saturday of February

Ironically, I'm off to the cinema tonight with my son to see Margot Robbie's latest movie 'Wuthering Heights' at a sold-out cinema.

Wuthering Heights (2026)

My son is a fan of the movie 'Saltburn' (not me!) and its director, and me ... well Margot Robbie;-)

National Hero Week
for 2026 ends today

The inaugural holiday was held the day
before the 92nd Oscars (2020)

Every February

I've heard that if 'Wuthering Heights' does well at the Box Office that a second 'Saltburn' will be made starring Margot Robbie and her gin, and is to be titled 'Papa Saltburn';-)

Ruined By The Internet?💻😖😡😱🙈🙉🙊

I found this podcast show called 'Ruined by The Internet' and thought it was interesting, since we are living in interesting times, as they say?

The latest episode is titled 'Common Ground: has the internet turned a shared reality into an algorithmic battlefield?', which I thought was worth a listen ... but then again, you might disagree with me?-)

Reputation Management: has the internet
 turned mistakes into life sentences?

Reputation management sounds a little bit like my last post?

Some Books Are a Lot to Unpack ... But Should They Be Banned ... or Burned?📕📖🔥🚒🧯

Every February 14th

Every February 14th

There is one particular author in Australia this year (whose books I haven't read) making waves at Writers Festivals who either ban her from them or don't, which just goes to show you that if nothing was done in the first place, how many readers or festival goers would really care about her or her book?

I just hope the Byron Writers Festival follows the Newcastle Writers Festival by not banning her (that's if she is already on the program) and not risk collapsing the festival like Adelaide did.

That's one book talk I won't be attending if she turns up in Byron, but I respect the right of people to attend the talk if they want to.

The Last Book I Read Changed My Life and So Has Every Other Book I Have Read

Some Books Are a Lot to Unpack ... But Should They Be Banned ... or Burned?📕📖🔥🚒🧯

Someone donated the above book to the Op Shop I volunteer at, and it was in good condition, so I asked one of the managers whether we sell books like this one and they said "no ... put it in the recycle bin".

This manager is into the pronoun thing, which I'm not, but I try to be respectful to their view of the world and play along, while not getting the pronoun game, being a straight whitish "Baby Boomer".

The cut off year (1964) of the "Baby Boomer" generation, that is.

Funny thing was that when I was growing up is that I always saw Roger and Pete as part of "My Generation", but it turns out that "officially" they were just born at the end of the "Silent Generation" ... much like I was in the "Baby Boomer" generation, ironically:-)

Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y,
and Gen Z Explained?

Personally, I think all of this X, Y, Z, Alpha generation stuff is pure crap, but like this pronoun stuff, the younger generations take this stuff quite seriously ... seriously?!

CRIKEY: The Alphabet [Rune] Soup of Gen X, Y, Z, Baby Boomers and Alphas?

And I only bought this book (for a gold coin donation) (staff are allowed to buy stuff that would normally be binned) because of the author's accusation on the front cover that "my generation" screwed Her's.

I had no idea who Laureen Southern was until this book crossed my path.

I can't stand the Far Right any more than I can stand the Far Left, when it comes to their warped political views

I see myself as Centrist, which seems to be the way Laureen Southern is headed when I watched her latest You Tube above.

Just Another "Fake News" Story, or "Newspeak"?-)

While I can't say that I am a fan of Laureen Southern's work, I do agree with some things she writes about and says, while other things she states as fact make me laugh out loud.

I passed the book on to a street library, so that other book lovers like me can have a read.

I just hope some Nazi or Commo doesn't take the book out of the street library to burn or bin.

I laughed when Laureen twists the 1984 book reference to an Ugg Boot stepping on a human face forever, when an Ugg Boot was the footwear of choice for Bogans when I was growing up in the 80s.

Bogans are the Australian equivalent of American Rednecks.

I should know, as I used to wear them in the 80s when I moved to Logan City:-)

I never stomped on any faces with them though:-)
