So, my TV is tuned to @skynewsrss.bsky.social for the first time. Hasn't caught fire yet.

Historians Politely Remind Nation To Check What's Happened In Past Before Making Any Big Decisions theonion.com/historians-p...

For those who thought the "Handmaids Tale" analogies were hysterical exaggerations.

Anyone who thinks that the trial of Luis Rubiales is some kind of witch hunt needs to watch tonight's episode of Foreign Correspondent. That these women achieved what they did under this regime, is nothing short of a miracle. #jennihermosa.

The incomparable David Rowe is now on @bsky.app. You know what to do.

You can't put a price on a good sub-editor. Brilliant. #SMH

I love these annual lamb ads! They are never just about eating lamb. Here is the latest for 2025. www.youtube.com/watch?v=75BA...

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

"I never said she stole my money." Amazing. Say this 7 times, stressing a different word each time, and you'll mean 7 different things

Pretty sure I've tasted this one before.

The Adoration of the Magpie.

Quite a saga. More than 5 X over budget. It took 4 X as long as planned. Dutton thinks, with no previous experience, we can do it quicker and closer to budget than the French. Tell him he's dreaming. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamanv...

an hour ago, france connected its first nuclear reactor to the grid this century. construction was to take 56 months. timeline: • decision: 2004 • initial works: 2006 • reactor concrete: 2007 • grid connection: 2024 • commercial operation: 2025Q1 …20+ years end to end.

The most insane window view ever recorded. Africa to the left. Europe to the right.

I would tip every cent I have into this.

20/20 The opening salvo of the greatest series of historical novels in literary history.

I think you had your chance in November.

If Dutton's nuclear policy made any economic sense, there would be private investors queueing up to throw cash at it. Instead, taxpayers will pay for the uncapped infrastructure costs, relying on the government to deliver it on time and budget.

Legend.

You get the government you deserve. Despite knowing exactly who this idiot was, the US electorate put him in power TWICE.

He won because 77+ million Americans voted for him despite having full knowledge of what he did on January 6th.

The disinformation machine is clicking into gear. Wonder how many more faces and stories sit behind this bloke.

Hard to believe that any regime could be worse than Assad's but given the recent history of the Middle East it's entirely possible.

Bit of rain last night. #Wambuul #wiradjuricountry

Just the other day, I was buying two of the same book, in the bookshop, as pressies. The lady asked me if I was sure I needed two and I said yes, I'm going to read it twice. She just looked at me.

Yes he said MONTHLY.

Am I the only one on this platform disgusted by the reaction to this murder? Stepping out of the shadows and shooting someone in the back is not the way to achieve justice for the disadvantaged. Replies are disgraceful. I thought this was supposed to be a kinder place.

If you ever get lost in the Milky Way galaxy, this is your map to get back to EARTH.

They should rename this column Greedy Old Cunts.

Honestly, what's this clown planning to do that the IDF hasn't already done, nuke Gaza?

Today's companion animal.

In a desperate attempt to fill space between Harvey Norman ads. @SMH is now running the same story twice in one edition. Once in General News and again in the Business section.
