“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

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.

*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...

Writers withdrawing from Adelaide now also includes Helen Garner, Chloe Hooper and Sarah Krasnostein, according to Artshub. Also internationals Percival Everett and Vincenzo Latronico. www.artshub.com.au/news/news/ad...

I guess it's not surprising but it is still completely disgusting and outrageous that the ABC is going to both-sides American fascist militia murdering civilians

Zadie Smith is going to have to make a call

Real loser shit www.adelaidefestival.com.au/news/2025/ad...

IT’S LIKE SAYING A HORSE WAS TRYING TO DO A JIGSAW PUZZLE. IT MAKES NO EARTHLY SENSE. (One second before I grabbed this, the lede opened with “A 37 year-old woman was trying to kill…”, which almost stopped my heart with pure rage; the edit makes it marginally less terrible, but only marginally.)

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Towels feel nicer if they’re line-dried, and tea towels work better if they’ve been ironed.

Ahead of Day 3 of the "pink test" In 2022-23 the McGrath foundation spent about $8.8m on “foundation-funded breast care nurses”, but more than $9.1m on fundraising and marketing, and a further $2.2m on administration." www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2024...

This is so embarrassing.

Had a little cry reading this one. I had spent the quiet day in my office listening to Waugh bat, but eventually had to get on my bike to ride home at about 6:15, with no way of listening en route. I got up the stairs and into the flat just as he hit that final ball. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

How about business leaders first institute all the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry?

Incredibly moving interview with Sydney philosophy professor Peter Slezak, son of Holocaust survivors. “Recognising Palestine was the right thing to do - in fact it was long overdue. How on earth can that be connected to two mass murders who commit an atrocity?”
