0ptics is EVERYTHING...

I'm sitting here at my table in the Monkey Temple, attempting to write my speech for the protest tomorrow (Melbourne Town Hall 5pm)

But got TOTALLY distracted watching the Royal Commission.

It's actually the first time I've watched it.

When I heard that Arsen Ostrovsky was being interviewed, I couldn't resist.

Last time I saw him was at the Sydney Opera House. He was taking a selfie. As he likes to do.

(Zero judgement...I do too)

Anyways...Arsen has been accused of faking his injuries at the Bondi shooting and I was curious to see what he would say about antisemitism.

(He's the guy with the bloody face taking a selfie while still on the ground)

After all...he moved to Australia a few weeks before the Bondi shooting to "fight antisemitism."

And do you know what struck me the most watching him being interviewed for the Royal Commission?

Not Arsen's words.

But his body language.

I refer to this as the "puppy dog" stance.

Having been married twice...and attempted to date a few men...I'm very familiar with this puppy dog imitation that (not all) men seem to be so good at.

It's the slightly bowed shoulders. The head leaning down. The eyes looking up. The quiet tone.

Ugh.

You can scroll through Arsen's insta and see that this is a manufactured optic.

And yes, there are maaaaaany things I could say about his words, but I'm going to leave that aside for now.

Except for one thing...

He mentions talking to Meta.

That is the equivalent in 2026 of talking to God.

As someone who has spent two months attempting to unravel myself from being hacked on Facebook

(it's STILL not completely sorted)...

To hear that he could directly talk to the person in charge of the "antisemitic portfolio" because he had worked with her in a professional capacity in Israe|...blew my mind. And that she INSTANTLY fixed his concern!!!

This dude is CONNECTED.

The Hebrew word for this is: proteksiya

You can look it up.

It's a thing.

Ugh.

Anyways, I don't have time for this. I have a speech to cobble together and a dentist appointment...and a house inspection 😬

See you tomorrow at 5!!!
