What is it when you put blackberries in a margarita (apart from no longer a margarita) and why is it so good? Loving this cricket but do prefer my Tests um, longer.

This is what Stephen Eracleous looks like these days, if you see him out and about:

Happy test cricket time for all those who celebrate.

It’s today, fellas.

Exactly one woman has won the Booker in the past six years www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The first question should be “Good evening Sussan, you are irrelevant to actual policy, so we’ll leave it there, thanks for joining us” #abc730

Fucked around. Found out. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Okay. I guess.

What a gift to the Teal independents

Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says the Liberals have the "memory of goldfish and diet of piranhas" after dumping net zero by 2050. 🐟🐠 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Incredible work again over the last week doing what they do best by @whiterosesociety.bsky.social who work to ‘identify, expose, and combat fascism, neo-Nazism, and far-right extremist groups and ideologies operating in Australia.’ Bravo and thank you team. thewhiterosesociety.writeas.com/about-us

A guard no less. JFC.

I’ve been away from this bit of the internet. What’s a ‘save’ and why can’t I see who does it. Annoying. Exactly the stuff I hated about the other place — stalky and weird.

The incongruence. “You people want us unemployed, kicked out the street, want our family broken up and my newborn to starve. All because I disagree with you politically. What you try to do to us personally is far worse than any of our general political ideology.” www.theage.com.au/politics/nsw...

Good lord. Someone is running a ticket against the incumbents at my kid’s soccer club. Finally, my soccer parent moment (being obsessed by this).

This is terrific journalism and horrific content. www.theage.com.au/national/an-...

140+ treats gone at mine in 1 and a half hours this afternoon. Great costumes and lots of kids having a lot of fun. (Little came back with a lot of treats).

Will in bump into Sussan Let at the post office? Only time will tell.

No CFMEU/MUA folks should maintain spots in leadership positions in the ALP nationally or in NSW. IMHO. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Every time I don’t think Auspol can get any stupider, I get proven wrong. A national conversation over whether the PM should apologise for wearing a t-shirt featuring a very popular band that’s been around for decades because of its name, is stupid, stupid, even for us

The pub has posted an apology saying ‘it was just a joke’ like it’s 1980. I’m exhausted.

The Rose of Australia in Erko is begging to be cancelled. Trigger Warning Violence Against Women. Ive called the pub. Gosh this stuff is exhausting. www.instagram.com/reel/DQX3nOU...

Special guest visitor by the ponds this evening, @ingridm.bsky.social, amazing person.

Excellent reporting. A vital story.

It's explainers, op-eds, fact checks, pre-bunking, research and the blog, with plans for news features and investigative journalism as it grows. So it's not news, news, but what's going on behind and around the news, issues based, and what matters. And it's free. Hope to see you there x

“I have been inundated both with threats of harm as well as calls to resign.” satpa.pe/vN04Y6n

This is either the funniest thing I have ever seen in my hood or it isn’t. Hard to tell. (The failed business person involved in the kitchen is George Colambaris).

Excited to be able to talk about this publicly now - The Point is now up and running and from Monday, you'll find my parliament blog on it 💃 thepoint.com.au

Little started a soccer clinic tonight, goes for 8 weeks, it’s mixed. Good start in the first week with the head coach joking about ‘girls being more organised than boys’ and ‘thank your mums for being here instead of at home cooking and doing washing.’

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

My Crikey sub just renewed — Happy sacking Guy R*ndle anniversary for all those who celebrate.

Interesting. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Blend him and boil him with gelatine. Obvs.

I don’t know who needs to hear this. But gross sexist memes that you think relate to the Barnaby situation are just wrong and you look at dickhead.

Friday night done right. Watching this beauty.

Headline: Barnaby Joyce in talks with Pauline Hanson to join One Nation. JFC. I’m sure the good folks of New England will be absolutely overjoyed, not.

We support and believe women. Following a disturbing report by @novaramedia.com regarding a pervasive culture of misogyny at @itfglobalunion.bsky.social our Unite union branch called two emergency meetings today: one for women staff only, followed by one for all members.

Shocked. (not shocked) novaramedia.com/2025/10/15/u...

"If we eat our cake, how can we still have it?" He wails

Imagine being a private school and saying “your child’s education and needs are not our priority, because we’d have to pay to achieve that” I’d say they just announced you shouldn’t send your kids there under and circumstances

“[If we used capital reserves] we’d run out of money fairly quickly,” he said. “It would be like using your savings at home to pay for your electricity bill.” Am I meant to use a different kind of money to pay bills? I’m confused. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

so great that rich people are being heard with their concerns about staying rich #antipovertyweek www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

The audacity. Honestly.

My fav FB group contributions at the moment are women posting into groups about men being safe to date — and the women mates of the friends posting about how lovely they are — only to be met with folks who’ve dated them saying they are jerks.

‘trimming the carpet’ has a whole new meaning when you have an aquarium.
