In sad, breaking news, @lenoret.bsky.social is leaving after 10 years as editor of Guardian Australia – @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/guardian-aus...

'Disunity is death' – but Labor's cowed caucus has a cost too www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Was considering two candidates for promotion at work. One let slip they, a grown adult in their mid-30s, were having a full-blown Harry Potter themed wedding with real owls etc. Straight into the bin and now on the potential redundancy list to boot.

Just sent flurry of FOI requests demanding documents relevant to a date in 2025 * * Please amend scope it is 2026 my bad!!! Life comes at you fast.

Parliament is back, and while you were sleeping @amyremeikis.bsky.social was two coffees into the day already live.thepoint.com.au

Alcaraz has a long way to go, but he's started bloody well

Maybe Novak should have gone to bed instead of a 3am victory lap acting like the semi was the grand final.

People are so used to professional sport being a hellscape where only grindcore psychos survive, they can't fathom someone approaching every point with genuine joy. WHY IS CARLOS SMILING?!? www.theage.com.au/sport/tennis...

The most interesting thing about this ABC Challenger long read (to me) is that the five engineers who warned it was unsafe then became "lepers". Why is it not the managers who overruled them to suffer social ostracism? www.abc.net.au/news/science...

Time to line the kitty litter with another year's worth of takes: * Demon is jacked now * Entrenched in the top 10 * Not just making up the numbers * Has the weapons to win * Did you see him against Bublik? Oh boy!

I've seen enough

My advice to Carlos Alcaraz would be De Minaur only eats when you feed him errors. Slightly more safety on the shots, Alex goes for his own winners and misses.

De Minaur broken first service game. #AustralianOpen

I'm so concerned that because this wasn't spelled Ke$ha it's not really her.

Love that everything even the net posts lights up red when you hit out at AO. As if to say: Damn, even the chair hates you!!

Fortnightly pension rates are calculated using automated IT systems, but the auditor-general found Services Australia had not fully assessed the risks associated with its reliance on automation www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Top marks to Gareth Hutchens and the ABC for publishing this.

It's weeks like this I realise how much poorer we are for not having Katharine Murphy in the gallery. But thanks to The New Daily and Australia Institute we still have fabulous @amyremeikis.bsky.social who this morning already predicted curtains for Ley thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

De Minaur already being outhit by a Serbian youngster and down a set. Time to shred another summer's worth of "Demon is jacked now, he's not making up the numbers, he's earned his top 6/8/10 place now" articles

John McEnroe and Jim Courier are breaking the fourth wall by doubting the longevity of #MAFS marriages! Heresy!!

I bet my friend who said "wouldn't it be great if you could be a cab driver but only one day a year" in 2006 would like a cut of Uber's revenue as well bsky.app/profile/busi...

Beginning to think this climate change bizo may not be the best of ideas

I will show I have the world's MOST POWERFUL SCISSORS by cutting my nose off to spite my face. BEHOLD!! The era of the nose-less face has arrived mwahahaha. bsky.app/profile/matt...

If you read the philosophy books, nor can I.

Hi I'm Woolworths and there's not a single usable avocado in the joint. Hi I'm Aldi and you must build a time machine and eat these avocados before the queen died.

Some of us are smart. Some are occasionally funny or insightful. Then there is Rafe. Get on this.

When you're 20, Spotify will ask you if you want to listen to the music of Marcus Whale or the meditations of Marcus Aurelius. It's very important that you choose Marcus Whale.

Contrary to what the Oz says, the head of the AHRC is the president Hugh de Kretser not the human rights cmr Lorraine Finlay.

The ABC has introduced the Boomers to Don West and they think this Fabio cum Elvis is nothing but a hound dog.

Fake ending before extra drop. Classic.

Everyone frothing over this personal essay but it doesn't say that much about AI. It says a lot more about the US having no social safety net and a crippling opioid crisis. The AI gave him good advice (buy a chainsaw) and it was all fine til he was injured at work. bsky.app/profile/lint...

Whatever it was, they don't teach it in law school youtu.be/bAQv6KTfQow?...

That's generally how public space works ...until you put your pagoda thing on it.

Zoomed up likeability ladder!! Yes...but still behind every teal MP, almost the entire Labor and Liberal frontbench, Greens Larissa Waters and Sarah Hanson-Young, and Bob Katter.

I do not like your AI slop I do not like it, make it stop I do not want an AI house I do not want an AI mouse No AI box. No AI fox— That AI slop can go kick rocks I would not AI here or there I would not AI anywhere No AI car, no AI czar Your AI slop is killing trees I do not like it, let me be!

Too bad so sad better luck next time www.skynews.com.au/insights-and...

Calling out bad behaviour often leads to enormous adverse consequences for whistleblowers who might already be vulnerable. Those actually committing wrongdoing appear to be protected by power + privilege afforded by wealth and connections. It must change. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

This level of musculature wouldn't get you on the Grindr favourite grid it's not going to overcome the difference with Sinner and Alcaraz

Long read for the ABC www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

#breaking two Labor MPs - Ed Husic and Mike Freelander - have broken ranks with Anthony Albanese to call for a federal royal commission into the Bondi terror attack. #auspol www.afr.com//politics/la...

While Albanese will forever struggle to shed the perception that he was too slow to recognise the threat to Australia's Jewish community — he is taking action.

I can't see any evidence in this piece beyond vibes, and the Coalition and rest of media said it. Author says Albo has shown obvious empathy, would be heckled at funerals and criticises Segal report. Doesn't say what he should've done differently.

"Today, the Trump meme coin has lost 88% of its value... "First Lady Melania Trump’s meme coin suffered even steeper losses. Today it’s worth just 11 cents, which means anyone who bought at the top and held on has lost 99% of their investment..." www.cnn.com/2025/12/15/b...

Great to see that among the changes is that employers now have a defence where reasonable management action is a "significant" (rather than the predominant) cause of an injury. Bullies should not scurry from a disciplinary meeting onto workers comp. www.afr.com//politics/sl...

Saw an U16 on social media this morning so I smacked the phone outta his hand into the icy cold waters of Port Jackson. Just doing my part.

Tribes pay tribute to Richo, a deal maker who ‘gave voice to the mob’ www.afr.com//politics/tr...

Starting the day at Graham Richardson's state funeral and concluding with a Rebecca Black concert at the Metro theatre. Tops of 31 degrees. The Sydneyest day to ever Sydney.
