You're not going to like this answer but he didn't say Soviet Union because he didn't need to. Everybody understood that 'communism' was 'THE Global Conspiracy' ever since McCarthyism took of.

I don't understand who people they're dunking on when they mock distinctive indigenous words.
Ballaarat means meeting place. Djilang / Geelong means tongue of land as in the edge of the bay. Wirribi / Werribee means spine, as in the river being the spine of the land. Garidwerd means mountain range created by Bunjil. Wahroonga means home.
Even Humpybong comes from ngumpin bong, meaning empty houses in Ninghi Ninghi referring to the failed colonial penal colony that the settlers abandoned.
All these words have true meanings that connect to the land and our history.

Shoutout to child care workers. You're all criminally underpaid by your employers, but do the most amazing work.

"During our filming, JM closed the Kang deal. I remember asking said friend about it, and they shared some details. X number of movies, X number of dollars, and more interestingly, due to the nature of the character and potential multiple versions, JM had a contract clause stating that only he could play any and all versions of Kang.”
Clearly he doesn't give a shit. That's the point. He can ruin 14,000 people's lives and go on taking his private jet from city to city to skip traffic.
Musk’s purchase of Twitter was secured with funding from a number of investors, including Larry Ellison, the co-founder of software company Oracle, and Qatar Holding, which is controlled by Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund.
That whole not paying rent thing becomes even murkier when you dive into one of his many other lawsuits.
- Elon doesn't pay rent, one member of the transition team told Hawkins. Another member of the transition team put it more bluntly to Killian: Elon told me he would only pay rent over his dead body.
- Both Killian and Hawkins were told that for Musk, the fact that Twitter was legally or contractually obligated to pay a particular sum would be irrelevant to the decision of whether to actually pay it when that amount came due that Musk operated on a zero cost basis"
And
- Between the demands that he effectively participate in theft and fraud and instructions to take actions inviolation of California law and that could put his colleagues lives at risk in the event of a fire a possibility only increased by the unlicensed use of space heaters Killian had no choice but to walk away from the job he had dedicated over a decade of his life to .
Yes... A terrible outcome that we all want to avoid...
