Now you know why it's being reported that American soldiers are being told they've been handpicked by God to bring about Armageddon & the return of Jesus. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

I've been an imminent threat to every Mars Bar I see for 47 years.

You mean to tell me I just read an entire article on the SA election to find out the end, it was 'written' by an AI persona?

Oh so in australian radio you can be racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist, record your employees pissing and use a lie detector to publicly expose and humiliate a child for being a victim of sexual assault, but they will draw the line at directing any of that energy at your cohost

if “for sale, baby shoes, never worn” are the saddest six words, then “riding in a golf cart fatly” is the opposite of that

I'm beginning to think FIFA gave its World Peace Prize to the wrong person.

My Sim hasn’t got the memo that she’s not supposed to stand on her baby. #simsfreeplay

Homophobic fuckwitis appears to be a more accurate diagnosis.

It is sad to see the good name of the FIFA Peace Prize tarnished in this way.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

How do they plan on continuing to make money when AI is doing all the work, and the employees are all unemployed and not able to pay for their services, or their advertisers' services? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Anyone going to #MardiGras in Sydney tonight, take care of yourself. Wear comfy clothes and shoes that you can party in all night. Also, keep an eye on your friends. There's always a deadshit or 3 about.

Those who live in glass concentration camps shouldn’t throw stones.

I can still remember the episode in which Grace Sullivan died. Lorraine Bayly was such a great actress. May she rest well. tvtonight.com.au/2026/02/vale...

After two days at a conference venue in hard chairs, the arthritis in my lower back and hips has me walking like Discord Adams on the Runway. Not as elegantly, though.

Walked out of conference venue. Rained all the Central. I forgot my umbrella this morning. Now I’m wet.

Started reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik this morning on the train. No idea what it was about, but the writing is engaging. Checked Goodreads, and it sounds awesome. Can't wait for the train trip home. #booksky

A suspected serial violent homophobe linked to an Islamic State terrorist network has walked free on probation after pleading guilty to a brutal snuff-video-style gay bashing.

@aussiemoose.bsky.social @fivefrogs.bsky.social I saw a post on LinkedIn today that said 15% of 2026 was behind us, and there were only 304 sleeps till Christmas. I thought you’d like to know.

Being in the quiet carriage makes every noise 10 times louder. Currently enjoying hearing someone eat an apple, completely with lip smacking noises.

How much of this was because of Heated Rivalry?

So this was going on before the Bondi shooting. Allegedly, the same group as the two who killed 15 people in Bondi belonged to. Why did it take 15 deaths to have anything done? Or did no one care because the victims were gay? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Get completely F@&(#D.

Rest well, Maxi. Thanks for the laughs and the shows. You were one of a kind. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

I ate a strawberry. Am I healthy yet?

I've been reading #HeatedRivalry this week. It's probably a sin or something, but I much preferred the TV show to the book. I've taken to skimming most of the sex scenes. There are so many of them. Without them, it would be a novella. It's definitely written for the female gaze, not the male gays.

I love learning more than anything else except writing. In my day job, I spend a lot of time doing research for whatever conference topic I have that month. I took Bob Woodward's Investigative Journalism Masterclass and got so much I can use in my day-to-day job. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYC_...

Saw this thought of you @alexleslieauthor.bsky.social

Having seen how well the Liberals did with their right-wing lurch at the last election, all I can say is well done, Angus. Go right. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Sussan Ley might have been a complete dud as Opposition Leader - okay, she was, no might about it - but this is a great move. Stick Taylor right in the eye with the pointy end.

And now for some good news: A man missing in the Tasmanian wilderness for four days has been found alive. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

If Angus Taylor & Jane Hume are the answer, I'd hate to even consider the question. #auspol

No. I’m not on the dining table. You said I couldn’t, so I’m not.

Do Liberal voters really think Angus Taylor is the answer they need to win the next election? #auspol

Random brain puke

I never got into Dawson's Creek, but I loved him in Don't Trust The Bitch in Apartment 23.

So, it'll be a yes then.

If I were elected to the senate I would set up a site that clearly set out every taxpayer dollar spent, every approach from a lobbyist, every deal offered by the major parties. This shouldn’t be unusual. Every politician should do this. #AusPol

I'm going to have to vote Green at the next state election. I can't bring myself to vote for Labor or the Liberals.

Seeing the footage from yesterday's Sydney protest brings back a lot of memories of the late 90s, early 00s at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

So I hear 'Well done, Angus' is going to run for the Liberal leadership. That should be interesting.

NSW Police covering themselves in glory again.

Well, this is just crap. Rest well, Jon. Thank you for all the art.

Because, of course, he does.
