My neighbour, who I can only assume reads the Herald Sun, installed a security system which blasts a warning to passersby that they “ARE NOW UNDER SURVEILLANCE.” We live on an arterial road with two adjacent tram lines and a train station. Can you guess what we get to hear all night? #Melbourne

Monetizing my depression by transforming it into art.

Nothing is sinking in.

mechanic says it's actually bad when the engine light comes on and it's not just the engine charging up like i thought

All the wacky conspiracy theorists who don't believe in the moon landing or think it was a hoax accuse the US government of not being able to actually travel there. Everyone knows the real conspiracy is that there is no moon.

Wondering if this behaviour fits the definition of abuse of public office, and if so, whether SAPOL Anti-Corruption Branch or the ICAC would have carriage of it.

What is the subjective experience of brazen lying for high profile figures like this? Is it a rush? Like finding out that you can fly if you convince enough people to say you can fly?

Bingo card-style game, where supporters encouraged to ‘buy’ words and phrases linked to contentious abortion bill, condemned by crossbench MLCs as a ‘grift’ that trivialised debate

Friday. A flawed technique is dangerous. A winner? Ask a monk. The cheese is hilarious. Friday.

The problem with the world today is that when you present objective facts to the not-online people you end up sounding like this

Nothing good is ever released by the "tranche".

Wore a denim jacket once at uni. Bouncer on the door said he "just needs to check Garth Brooks' ID here." Haven't worn one ever again.

During the evening peak demand period last night, big batteries supplied 35% of South Australia’s electricity needs at one point.

Dan Tehan gives us ChatGPT style answers - randomised word salad - worse than your least favourite politician.

This is summer is going to suck. Going to distract myself from the horrors of it all by finding fun and creative ways to remind people that both major parties approve of new fossil fuel projects, and why we need something better.

I feel like I'm going crazy. "Drop the target but stay in Paris" is black and white legal nonsense but it's being repeated nonstop by press gallery journalists

Can't get excited about Coalition policy failures when Labor keeps approving new coal and gas projects.

Thanksgiving conversation gonna be real quiet this year.

Coalition climate policy has already reached Baseload Believability, apparently.

Jane Norman’s verdict re Ley’s shambolic nonsense: “I thought that was Sussan Ley really coming out fighting.”

The symbolism here shouldn't be overlooked. In Mexico, "Adelita" was a common name for warrior women in the Revolution.

Ley and Tehan cluttering up the airwaves with some extended lies about fossil fuels being cheaper

I don't like being a human. I like having a creative brain and everything but the whole "trying to live in society and figure out how to pay to exist" thing can suck it. In my next life I want to be a moth.

Afternoon walk

A fantastic day for Victoria. Australia will see its first ever treaty with Aboriginal people signed and formalised as law today. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Wild VEC political party name change alert

In a USMC rifle company, infantry Marines would refer to ibuprofen as “ranger candy” due to its rapid effectiveness in reducing the aches and pains that often come with being a field Marine. I don’t know what Vance and his fellow public affairs Marines called it.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

JD Vance and RFK Jr won't rest until EVERYBODY in the USA has a headache.

If there's one thing that unifies the Republican Party it is that it is profoundly pro-suffering.

We're excited to share our new webpage detailing 59 clean energy projects successful in tenders awarded via the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), and its implications for First Nations communities and groups. Visit www.firstnationscleanenergy.org.au/project_comm... #auspol #cleanenergy #mobsky

Got me through the last 10 games of the 2001 season plus finals in country footy, so I have to disagree.

'A senior member of the neo-Nazi group which held an anti-Jewish protest outside NSW Parliament is a South African national who works for a major engineering firm that has held contracts with the Australian Defence Department and NSW government.' www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

Both major parties in Australian politics think it's okay to keep approving coal and gas projects.

Hey look it would be enormously encouraging if you could pop over to Patreon and sign up even to the free tier and then you can find out about Terran omega as I release it page by page weekly. Who knows what’s gonna happen with Bluesky, right?

Edited highlights from my interview with Edgar Wright. It was pre The Running Man's release, so we chatted about Stephen King and killer contest flicks. He's as knowledgeable and quick-witted as you'd expect. filmstories.co.uk/news/edgar-w...

A damp and cloudy but still good 5k morning 🌄run 🏃‍♂️ #run #running #runner #runners

Here's how to solve the James Bond died in the last movie problem: don't make anymore James Bond movies.

Swap one impassive, fleshy-faced dunderhead for another? Sure, why not.

In advance of the likely abandonment of Net Zero by the Liberal Party I have some personal news. I will not be competing at any future Olympic Games. Noone thought I would be, nevertheless, big news.

New bit: reply guy who corrects misspellings, but the corrections are themselves wrong, and worse

I forgot to mention this last week, I was so busy it slipped my mind, but my podcast has (finally) hit 100 episodes (101 as of today)! It's been a journey, and I am nowhere near done, but I am just very grateful for everyone who listens to the episodes every. #history 🗃️

I am loving all the pretty sky photos, but with the way everything has been going I can't help getting Day of The Triffids vibes.

The GOP healthcare plan exists in a permanent state of superposition; it doesn’t interact with matter or light.

i just told my daughter she couldn’t wear the same outfit a second day in a row and she said “my signature style is dirty”

Bums me out sometimes thinking about what social media was at the start, and how much potential was squandered since to achieve whatever it is they've achieved. (1/2)

Some kid on the street was making and selling stickers and I bought a ton of them for 40 Bolivianos and I think I made his day. Some don't photograph well as they are shiny. But I love these skeleton ones.

Can't use social media, can get life sentences.
