My vinyl collection has re-started. I’ve been looking for this album for years. “X: Live at the Whisky A Go-Go on the Fabulous Sunset Strip” is one of the greatest live albums of all time. And now I finally have my own copy. Now I just need a turntable, amp, and speakers. #babysteps #80s #punkrock

Absolutely beautiful... and deeply inspiring 💙

Loving Llamagrama but not loving its general unreliability.

BREAKING from us at #4Corners: Former Morrison govt Health Minister Greg Hunt working for a Brethren company which received $54 million in COVID-19 contracts from Health Department while he was Minister. Mr Hunt says decisions made by his department, not him. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Back in the ‘Berra. Great to go on a frosty morning hike with a friend and his dogs. Red Hill is looking fresh! #canberra

I spent quite some time watching people struggle up and down this ridiculous ladder.

Government secrecy and obfuscation was one of the key reasons we chucked out Morrison and his putrid pals. What the hell is the former Minister for Gambling doing now? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Horrific footage circulating of the National Socialist Network attacking the peaceful Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne. We've heard the main targets of their extreme violence were women.

Nerding out to the legendary Clive Sinclair. How cool was the Sinclair Spectrum! Integer arithmetic FTW!

TL;DR because it’s paywalled, an otrovert is casually defined as someone whose social energy depends strongly on “the other” i.e. they mirror or adapt to whoever they’re with.

Poor Rusty 🐾 Can't help what you are..

Some bloke in an #Audi just drove past me leaning out his window doing a Hitler salute. Stay classy #Glasgow.

Fifty thousand Gannets. That’s all. #shetland #scotland #birdsarereal

First it ran away, then it popped back to see if I was still there. #sheep #shetland

Police reports obtained by The Intercept show how sloppy op-sec led to criminal charges under a squishy state law.

When in England. Also how good is proper black pudding. Damn delicious. #breakfastofchampions

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber emphasized the importance of critical thinking and developing a generalist skillset for the AI era.

"We have ceded so many of the core operations of our lives and institutions to tech, we must recognise that strong encryption isn’t the enemy of security — it *is* security." - Signal President @meredithmeredith.bsky.social for @financialtimes.com on the war on encryption www.ft.com/content/a934...

Just made the flight. Yikes.

Utilities used to be just power, water, and sewerage. Then comms, first voice then data, then specific flavours of data; music, video, etc. Now machine intelligence is about to become another utility. Just another monthly subscription to add to the pile.

JFC this reads like a horror movie except it's been unfolding across a swathe of the South Australian coastline, indiscriminately killing all manner of marine life Yet another devastating phenomenon we're all going to become more familiar with in the advent of fossil-fueled marine heatwaves

Magpie of the morning.

More evidence in support of the simulation hypothesis.

Keating bang on target! #AUKUS #auspol

Israel said they attacked Iran because it was building nuclear weapons - and Australia, UK, France and others have justified Israel’s actions because of this. Who’s lying? #auspol

Studio Ghibli was founded on June 15, 1985, by the directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, and producer Toshio Suzuki! 40 years of awesome and moving and joyful and tragic stories, beautifully animated 🥰

ChatGPT has read #Cablegate files so you can ask it all kinds of interesting things. #wikileaks #auspol

Impressed with all those US peeps getting out to protest. Good on ya! Imagine if they’d all bothered to vote instead.

Woodside community washing. wtf are CSIRO doing partnering with ecocidal vandals. Community of Exmouth should storm this event in rage…

Biosecurity puppies FTW! Enjoy your trip little doggies.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

I’ve been watching Wilder. Silly plot; great scenery. Couldn’t find it streaming so resorted to the SBS on demand app. What a piece of shit. Dunno who built it but it’s just terrible. And the ads! How do people cope with this in regular programming? Ads are all shingles and thrush! #sbs #ads #thrush

I squeezed past Kylie Minogue in the toilet of a restaurant in London called Beach Blanket Babylon. Circa 1999. She’s tiny. I said g’day Kylie. She said g’day. We both smiled. I still think of that evening fondly. Can’t recall who I was dining with.

She should sue herself for bringing her reputation into disrepute. Horrid person that she is. Imagine waking up and being Linda Reynolds. Ghastly.

This fascinating timelapse of an orb-weaver spider building her web is even more remarkable considering she removes it before dawn each day and constructs a new one every night to avoid daytime predators. Credit: dinaoren0/tiktok

Rings true on so many levels. theshovel.com.au/2025/06/10/a...

@sbs-news-bot.bsky.social On yr News tonight: The Austn journo wasn't "caught in crossfire." A 2sec look at the footage clearly shows one LAPD cop turn to look at the media, sight then shoot at her. V deliberate. She was well away from protesters vs cops interaction. We expect better, SBS. Fix it.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

If anyone is having trouble following my (increasingly long) thread tracking incidents where police assaulted journalists at protests in Los Angeles this weekend, it's also in spreadsheet form here. This is the more organized version I've been sending to lawyers, agency chiefs, electeds, etc.

Saw today for the first time a seriously brilliant way to cut wildlife roadkill: virtual fencing! These devices, installed every 25m for $10K km warn wildlife by detecting approaching vehicles and emitting a flashing light and a beep. Has cut deaths by 90%! #WildOz www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

Stayed up late last night and watched the last four episodes of Andor Season 2. What a terrific show. Really smart storytelling. Then I had to stay awake and watch Rogue One just to see how well they smushed it together. Then the sun started to come up so went to bed, tired but happy.

Probably as useless as all petitions but felt good to sign nonetheless. Fuck ScoMo. #auspol chng.it/P5nsSKwpdL

Tell me your pet’s name with a gif.

Revealed today: NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton has attended 18 formal Defence functions as Major General since July 2023 - all while supposedly independently investigating Defence corruption. He even asked the Chief of Army for a favour to keep his rank. Conflict of interest?
