I love having a really old grandparent still with us. Oi oi granddad, you've outlived THIS idiot too!!

Do you Iike my new jacket, it's from kikki K. What about my new lunch box, it's from kikki K. Do you like this enormous carry on luggage bag? It's from kikki K

Wow it's crazy the size is almost as big as the whole country

Literally cannot catch a break this season

I shudder to think what the Oasis tour has done to household debt in this country

Summer is here! (Eshays on dirt bikes at 9.30am)

the fixation on Australian students no longer studying Indonesian in university is always surgically removed from context by policymakers. studying at uni SUCKS now! it's expensive! your VC might be in the paper being a moron for years. take a punt on a language because ??? = "jobs"

The Oasis show was very good and now I have nothing to look forward to for the rest of my life. Unless they can get Thurston and Kim in the same room??

Tragedy is never funny, 55 (+the alleged bomber) people got injured in a bomb attack at a mosque inside of SMAN 72 in Jakarta. Not gonna make any assumptions yet, however..

An almost unbelievable story from Jakarta overnight where a student is alleged to have planted a bomb at a school after suffering bullying. Many young students hospitalised. A lot of conflicting reports still, but great coverage from CNA/wires www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/jakarta...

Election season has begun in Myanmar and the whole world should know that it is total bullshit. Here's a primer for outsiders on why that's so. darimulut.substack.com/p/an-electio...

Going to ask the director Q&A why I can't log the movie on letterboxd

Weird how this time tomorrow I'll be almost seeing Oasis

The family of a Lamar Ahchee, an Australian gent facing the death penalty on drug charges, have done an interview with ABC and I don't think it's going to do good things for them 😬 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

The timing of this hero status push boggles the mind! A recurring thought bubble over years but with real legs now under Fadli Zon's guidance. No reforms promised in August forthcoming, people still locked up without charge, and now hero status for Suharto!

This is surely true, but misses the point. So many in the rest of the world resent that status and having it shoved down our throats! Nobody disputes the capital-I Importance of US elections

I finished two books today, isn't it blessed when that happens. All the work is done earlier but I feel like a legend 😎

Indonesia's state media stressing Mamdani's status as the first Muslim to lead New York

Sure, but is it deftly written?

Are free radicals actually real? I thought that sounded fake as hell my whole life. Another stupidly named thing

It'd still be done before Barr's light rail extension

I hate the 'nup to the cup' slogan so much. 'Nup'??? Is that some Victorian regionalism? If it is, keep it there and come up with something else national

it is sort of funny that FIFA was beating the ASEAN drum so hard but literally every interaction it has with individual countries is exasperated and a little bit weird and funny

Nuclear anything has been much discussed and rarely delivered. But with Russia desperate to get in, who knows!

Sometimes I watch videos of people doing grocery shopping (don't worry about it ok) and it's so jarring now to see people use plastic bags off the check out. Barr, you won that round.

It's interesting that the Prabowo govt and the Duterte govt both did this*. Prabowo has a far more personal connection to Suharto than Duterte did Marcos (and also isn't the past strange) *Belum ticked off by Prabowo but, come on.

God you have no idea how the inner, Challenger Deep-buried tibak in me is seething at how generally inoffensive (YMMV) Bongbong is as a President He had a truly enraging hiccup at the beginning with his neo-Bagong Lipunan/Maharlika nonsense but maybe his general laidback-ness is his saving grace

The Thai govt probably saw an empty MoU on rare earths as a good way to get points on the board with Trump (and keep even with its neighbors) and it has spent the past few days trying to assure Thais that no, actually, it doesn't mean anything or change anything www.bangkokpost.com/business/gen...

He's proven me wrong quite a bit already, so here's hoping he gets me good on optimism next year! www.philstar.com/headlines/20...
