Thanks to the kind soul who left their spare ticket at the door. 10 minutes before the show our group realised 4 people doesn't go into 3 tickets. We asked at the door if anyone was selling last minute we'd buy it, mere seconds after someone had donated. Good things to that person please universe.

Or more accurately, an extortion payment to a bully.

Ha! The “sports stars” petition for an Antisemitism Royal Commission was signed by Sam Newman. Yes, this guy, who platformed Nazis.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Much as it turns out you are allowed to attack your neighbours and run their country ... turns out sports people should tell us their political views too. What a funny old world.

Chip Le Grand: Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is proof that the Suburban Rail Loop is a disaster.

Every time the USA illegally bombs another country, I am reminded of our ‘shared values’

I assume 130 prominent business people are signing letters as we speak insisting that the US flag be projected on the Sydney Opera House as a sign of solidarity #Caracas

Having landed at Melbourne first, I ceased my onward journey there. There simply was no need to continue any further.

I worked with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) in multiple countries to bring medical care to refugees and other populations at risk. There are a 100% committed, professional, non-political organization. Netanyahu banning them from Gaza is an unspeakable outrage. People will die.

Pauline Hanson, who never stops ranting about “elites”, is in hot water after failing to declare a ride on Gina Rinehart’s private jet to attend a cooker conference in the US, breaching parliamentary rules requiring declarations of gifts from multibillionaires. 🙄 #auspol

Sydney media types gleefully calling Dan Andrews an authoritarian tyrant, and then calmly acquiescing to *whatever this is*

Public compliance with water restrictions during the Millennium Drought was so high the messaging campaigns were taught globally as best practice. But given our media radicalised a quarter of the population during COVID, unlikely we will see a repeat. www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

1st win of substance in roughly 5 and a half thousand days What Essendon would give ...

Inbound train from the burbs to the city is packed for a Tuesday night. But Nine tells us Melbourne folks are afraid to leave their houses because of Dallens Crime City?

Remember, Ley & news.corp et al aren't talking to you, or even about you. They're screaming at each other & mistaking the echo as a response. Most Australians want to honour the victims, have stronger gun laws and to get on with their holidays in peace free of unhinged ranting (relatives excepted).

I picked this up second hand from Alley Tunes in Hawthorn in the late 90s. I'll have to dig it up, but I think there was a few "mysterious dreamy tracks" at the end of the CD. At the time I thought they were some weird bedroom demos by the curator of the compilation had stuck on the end.

Name a fictional character you believe would appear on the Epstein list.

Good analysis from Sarah Martin, but misses a key point: if the Bondi massacre is being hijacked by culture warriors like Howard and the anti-immigration right, it's because that's how mainstream media chooses to frame it. They are lazy or complicit. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Mitchell & Webb "are we the baddies?" meme is less effective now that an alarming number of people's genuine answer seems to be "maybe not, actually"

Takes a lot to surprise me these days. But the Bondi massacre settling into the predictable lines of a classic Australian culture within 72 hours has caught me off guard I'm genuinely stunned at a whole range of people politicising this so quickly and viciously But the rules changed in July 2020

- significant national incident - defrost John Howard - allow him to make irrelevant unhelpful contribution - have pliable media 'commentators' exhalt him - re-freeze him till next time

The kind .. you find … in a second hand store

It's two weeks old, but I've used the new Metro Tunnel twice for work visits. Easily knocks off 20-30 minutes of walking/tram interchanges or the frustration of driving. Game changer. Yet Fairfax looks down their tortoise shell specs and sneers. Losers.

Community Chest: “You have successfully achieved The Bubbler. Collect $200.”

Fucken they make you have a 16 character password with numbers and fucken stars and exclamation marks and what have you. Then if you get it wrong, they send you an email taunting you. I know I got it wrong ffs. You already told me.

Given how shit both the mainstream and ”independent” medias coverage is on anything Vic labor can you blame them?

Seems like everyone discovered the internal railway abbreviation for Frankston today. (It's not new) #Melbourne

🤣

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

Got meade redundant from a job and while unemployed got a call from someone looking to fill a position. Wasn't keen but got talked into it with "if you don't like it, leave with no hard feelings". ~17 years later still in the field.

Never in doubt

I'll have whatever Super Hans is baking, thanks.

Why do so many Australian media branes think Victoria exists only to pay into the federation? Why do they hate Melbourne building underground passenger rail but not Sydney? Why are they always called Bernard?

No diplomatic immunity for this d*ckhead.

There should be a rule in #auspol and media that if you seriously mention carbon capture and storage as a thing you should be banned forthwith. It doesn’t fucking exist. A fossil fuel industry myth. #insiders

I like that Elon Musk bought an entire social media platform to get people to laugh at his jokes, but instead just ends up telegraphing the most Fathers4Justice energy imaginable.

Ventured into Jacinta Allan's derelict Melbourne CBD today. Had to deftly manoeuvre through tens of thousands of potentially felons while pushing a pram to State Library children's section, where several innocent whitenesses saw one child steal a stuffed shark from another. Crime City

Got told this was Buddy Franklin after being wowed by the Metro Infrastructure

Just arrived in Sydney. Told the guy at the hotel I was from Melbourne and he started to dadsplain light rail, before insisting on a improtou session regarding water faucet operation

This is some story. After Andrew Bolt announced he was leaving Melbourne "for good" due to his Covid tantrum etc, the taxpayer-owned NBN Co arranged a special high-speed internet connection for Sky News at his Mornington pad so he could broadcast his bile from home...
