I Spit on Your PodcastKelly's Taboo Terrors: DEADGIRL (2008) W. KELLY MCNEELYA film I love to hate, and hate to love, Deadgirl (2008) remains one of the most disgusting pieces of cinema I have ever experienced. And that’s saying a lot!

It’s a 00s nasty, I am here to finally discuss it, once and for all.

Coffee with SamsoAn Insight into the Discovery of the Argyle Diamond Mine.Mineral exploration is a complex and evolving field that has undergone significant advancements over the years. It involves a meticulous process of discovery, as exemplified by projects like Olympic Dam, which required almost two decades of planning and a decade of execution. The understanding of geology and manually handling exploration techniques, which was once laborious and time-consuming, is rapidly becoming obsolete. Photo by Sabrianna on Unsplash In the rapidly evolving landscape of decarbonization and clean energy, it's understandable that investors and geoscientists may prioritize exploring commodities like lithium and more recently, rare earth elements. The field of mineral exploration has...

Adelaide Writers' WeekAWW22 Sold Down the River - Scott Hamilton and Stuart KellsChaired by Michael West“Water policy is hard,” says Malcolm Turnbull, subject as it is to so many fiercely competing interests. Scott Hamilton and Stuart Kells interviewed many of these interests for their book, Sold Down the River: How Robber Barons and Wall Street Traders Cornered Australia’s Water Market. Opening the trade in water was supposed to make its allocation more efficient, but as the authors show, it has created a whole host of perverse outcomes. They demonstrate how we have failed to protect our most precious resource.

Ripe Good ScholarShakespeare as a Writer“Brokering and improving source texts explains how his crowd-pulling plays rapidly had an audience, and how he rapidly came to be known as a man of the theatre. The pillaging of sources also accounts for the early dates of several plays, and the fact that plays with confusingly similar names, plots and characters existed before Shakespeare could have written them. Substantially freed from the need to conceive of scenarios, characters and plots, Shakespeare could focus on the writing, and the drama.” - Stuart Kells, Shakespeare’s Library When we think of Shakespeare, too often the image c...
