Australian of the Year….

Beautiful visitor on site this morning…

A trillion dollars for housing indeed…well in this age…if you leave a void - morons will fill it…in the letterbox South Sydney…

😂😆🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Champagne comedy again from the SMH…

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Mfer won’t go to his son’s wedding but happy to shut down 15 NY city blocks for hours to go to the basketball

I really enjoy EB White's take on New York and New Yorkers.

I can’t imagine what awful things this tree must have done to be locked up like this.

The jerseys also say "Ceci n'est pas un maillot" ("This is not a jersey") on the back. Perfect detail.

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

Here for the outrage…(Star Wars made #12) #classic100

Can’t hear Arvo Pärt without thinking of architectural talks now (used as a symbol for conveying seriousness and beauty…) #classic100

Marcella Hazan says to ‘snap’ the ends off my French beans…ah…Marcella didn’t have to use Sydney store bought verges did she…? #bendybeans

There is a campaign to save the building here www.change.org/p/save-soza-...

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

Support small business. ✊🏾

Sweet perceptive article on such a fine courtyard house by talented architect Stephen Collier. Courtyard types so under-appreciated in Australia. This house so skilled in its site planning, arrangement & design, despite the many site challenges.

Big day out with the architecture students & design tutors roaming the beautiful former Cumberland Hospital (originally the Female Factory in 1820’s) in North Parramatta. Such an array for great structures & landscape. How best to work here? #publicparramatta

“They talk about evidence-based decision-making, but in practice the Big Four provide decision-based evidence-making, where they will come back and evidence anything that government wants to do, whether it’s robodebt, Snowy Hydro or NBN Co,” he says. “What they do is serve a market for excuses.””

It’s the puppy herder’s first day on the job and the sheep understood the assignment with being supportive and encouraging.

I can't believe the street price of cockroaches in NSW has broken the $2 price point #inflation #sellersmarket

Margo Kingston - who literally wrote the book on Hanson over 25 years ago - is back writing about her - and it's a very worthwhile read #auspol > margokingston.substack.com/p/damnit-eve...

Just got some leg warmers for the 6.15am gym walk. Seriously - how am I so late to these? I was literally a child of the 80’s… 🔥🔥🔥

GET A LOAD OF THIS BIN CHICKEN

Almost 3 million 🇦🇺 woke up today owing more on their HECS debt. The HECS system is broken, and the only way we can force change is by applying pressure on the govt. Join my campaign. www.moniqueryan.com.au/fix-hecs

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

Almost 3 million Australians have HECS debts: they’ll increase today. Compulsory payments made this year towards that debt won’t be counted before indexation is applied. We wouldn’t put up with this on our credit cards or home loans. We need to fix HECS.

Growing up in Western Sydney - we didn’t get to experience ‘A’rchitecture very often - but gosh I have such a clear memory of the power of this building, still in Maryong, by Michael Dysart. Someone we should all know more about. Vale. (Image sourced from Brutalist Sydney, by Max Dupain)

An evergreen reminder…canopy, real deep soil and real infiltration leave green walls for dead…sometimes literally….

Dog parking….

A fact iv always enjoyed is that Frank Lloyd Wright wanted the Guggenheim 2 be pink, even pink marble. Solomon Guggenheim wasnt keen so they agreed on beige, and in the end the city approved the Corbusier-style white you see now, which, if u think about it, is very non-Wrightean

“What a society of ghouls we are if we let that be the truth.”

State of origin night…I’m watching Strictly Ballroom… 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺

Language matters. #UrbanTruth #StreetsForPeople

Peak USA…

Boots…ready for emergency access….

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

Excuse this horrendously incompetent photograph - but this tree I passed yesterday evening had grown these sort of resinous icicles that I have never seen before. I presume this means it is in intense distress…?

How to use a Sydney bus stop - as a screen from that very big puddle that’s about to spray the footpath with the next traffic flow! 😂

A design competition to determine the ‘look and feel’ of a highly strategic urban precinct. Honestly - save the time and money - get a couple of political staffers, a developer, Scotty Cam and a perspective artist in the room - she’ll be right mate…

in Sydney? Look up these walks organised by Taylor Coyne about his PhD - Swamp City. I went on the Tank Stream walk with Taylor and Bea Hardy today. Amazed + grateful that these extraordinary people would give up their Sunday - to help build our love + understanding of Country and our duty to it. 🙏

People…in the streets…moving past Parliament…as it should be…long may it continue… #publicsydney

“In NSW, Ford Rangers and Toyota Hilux utes seriously injured 2114 people and killed another 163 between 2018 and 2024, Transport for NSW told me. No one is calling for utes or Dodge RAMs to be banned. “

The type of enterprise the tax system should reward is not the “make a startup, sell to private equity, then buy a yacht” type but the “build something that creates employment and shared prosperity long term” type. All this CGT whinging is just amorality being treated like it’s something good.

ABC & SBS so right to refuse this controversial definition - wrong that it’s imposed on Universities & any other sectors. Thank you @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social for being such an informed, fearless & fair-minded advocacy voice. Segal was always a terrible choice

Note that property investors get grandfathered changes, but NDIS participants do not. So our Government is effectively saying property investors deserve the dignity of maintaining their current comfort levels, but people with disabilities do not.
