From my trip in January - a pink cockatoo at Kinchega National Park, New South Wales. You'd pay good money for that hairdo at a city salon 😆

Back with another one of those hump-plumping beats

This is absolutely outrageous www.platformer.news/grammarly-ex... — jail for these motherfuckers, honestly.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social, don’t you love those shared values?

The annual cycle of Carlton fan pre-season manic optimism followed by crushing first round defeat is really one of the joys of this game. I say this with no malice; Geelong’s ability to lose unloseable Grand Finals is in the same category: painful to the team’s fans, a source of glee for all others.

pov you’ve just run into your lesbian couple friends who’ve been fighting a lot

In case you're not dead yet, I can assist. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Unw4...

GAFF: Too bad she won’t live! But then again, who does? DECKARD: I double checked and you’re right—she won’t live. I made a mistake, and that’s on me. Nice catch!

Had a little cry about this today. His voice narrates so many of my football feelings. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

The group chats are not having the gaslighting of this apology let me tell ya! #auspol

If Albo is right that children are obliged to lie in the bed that their mother made, why is he sleeping at the Lodge and not a public housing flat, while the children of the "ISIS brides" must remain in a refugee camp in Syria? Seems a little inconsistent, logically, just saying.

Some humans consume a lot of energy and STILL never get smart, hey.

Gah! What the hell!

Fuuuuuuuuu(forever)

If anybody has any inside goss from the marketing meeting that approved this ad for Belong, I'd be deeply intrigued to hear it. 💩

From the latest episode of Mad As Hell: ‘Angus Taylor’s Brain’ #libspill #auspol

I am not sure you could come up with a worse put down of the Liberal front bench than James Paterson saying "Angus is the smartest policy brain in the shadow cabinet” live.thepoint.com.au

Zadie Smith: “A Palestinian writer is a human being standing before an audience of other human beings, speaking. If you create a special category of speech…which is to be silenced before it’s even heard, then I think you make yourself ridiculous.” www.theage.com.au/culture/book...

Soph and I have been married for ten years today and together for 25 this year. We got married in New York because ten years ago it still — remarkably — was not an option in Australia. We have a good marriage and we are happy and love each other and I am proud of us.

Very unexpected and welcome news! QUT will become the new custodian of Meanjin, Australia's most eminent literary journal, bringing the publication back to Brisbane. www.qut.edu.au/about/meanjin

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Substack is awful. There are so many alternatives out there!! www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

The Newcastle Writers Festival organisers can see the rake. They understand how a rake on the ground works. They know what happens when you tread on the rake. They’ve seen the swish-thwack of a trodden rake on other festivals. Can they resist rake-stepping?

"Never interrupt your enemy when they are setting up a meme."

I went into Bermagui Miter 10 this morning and it reminded me how good hardware stores used to be, and how very deeply Bunnings sucks.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Another totally messed-up act in colonial Australia. First Nations peoples disregarded and sidelined, again. Wongari (dingoes) murdered. Shame on all responsible. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

I’m learning woodwork. Last weekend I found some pine on the side of the road and used it to have a go at this Japanese design called the AA Stool. Learned a few things along the way!

“Pretti” and “Good” are striking names for these two brave Americans murdered by their government.

Me, sowing (using an iPhone with no case): Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me, reaping (dropping my iPhone onto the road and smashing it): well this fucking sucks, what the fuck

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Bananas. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Bone Temple! I don’t know what I expected but I didn’t expect to enjoy it quite as much as I did. Wild fun.

I’m genuinely embarrassed for legacy software businesses bolting LLMs onto their products and then marketing themselves as AI-powered. Makes my neck hot.

I’m glad the new board has admitted this was wrong. What an utter waste of everybody’s time, energy and labour www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Malinauskas is proof that having a great rig as a middle aged man comes at a severe cerebral cost, and many rigged up dads are experiencing the ill effects of Long Himbo

Australian writers having A Week.

Haven’t watched yet but this is so 90s kd lang photoshoot coded

*posting on twitter* oh ho, I’ve made a wry observation. Better make sure a bunch of pedophiles see it

Hamnet is a bad film, what the heck is everybody on about.

Make me President and I will rename ICE to NICE, take away their guns and stupid outfits, and get them to do civic kindnesses for their pay. Picking up trash, helping folks with heavy bags, reaching high shelves, painting over hateful graffiti, righting fallen bikes, shoveling snow, raking leaves.

Everybody should watch the gay hockey show maigod

I am feeling quite joyful about writers acting in solidarity with Randa Abdel-Fattah and the broader cause by withdrawing from AWW.

Zadie Smith and Masha Gessen will also withdraw from Adelaide Writers Week, according to InDaily. www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in...

Bendigo Writers Festival, Meanjin, now Adelaide Writers … powerful vested interests would rather destroy the cultural institutions they are supposedly responsible for than allow certain voices to be heard
