This has made me sad, @nytimes.com www.aol.com/york-times-p...

There is far too much of this needless horror happening in the world right now

How does it feel to starve to death? Sorry for a political post. But we are witnessing a deliberate genocide in Gaza, a place that has not had freedom of movement for people or food for 20 years. And the leaders of the developed world are sitting around doing nothing about it.

Twitter is now 75% bot activity. The dead internet theory aint a theory anymore.

holy shit lmao

It AMAZES me that most financial institutions in Aus don’t have any MFA security beyond text messages. I have to use an auth app to log in to my Qantas account, but my bank, where all my money is stored? SMS is all you can use. Even beyond the security issue, SMS is tough when overseas.

Nice work Triple J for putting on the #hottest100 Australian songs. BUT I think they erred by excluding anything before the 1970s? I reckon “Sorry” by the Easybeats is in the top 10 Aussie rock songs of all time.

I think about this constantly

Well there goes my 100+ streak 🙁 Wordle 1,467 X/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩

AI has promised big things, but so far has only really delivered these sorts of inane suggestions that are even more annoying than Clippy was back in the 1990s

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Imagine being a major political party in an Australian state, and simply refusing to try and negotiate to form a government twice in two years #politas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the days that I can eke out something approaching a traditional lunch hour, one of my favourite things to do is try different places around Melbournetown. This week was a cracker, a chicken tonkatsu set from Katsuhon just off Queen St. The best tonkatsu I’ve ever had! Domo, Katsuhon 🍱

I would like to shake this young man’s hand #IHaveABrainMan

Geee I bet conservative US commentators are overjoyed to have the first ever American Pope! <checks reactions> Oh…

I decided that Bernie Finn was a worthy recipient of last place this year, due to his active campaigning against LGBITQ+ rights and aiming to criminalise abortion #ausvotes2025

Bring back the National Tally Room. Miss u babes #auspol #ausvotes #royandhg

There is a lot happening in this photo but WHO ON EARTH uses a stubbie holder for a schooner at a pub?

😕

Just saw Waleed Aly ask a US Senator whether he understood that a GST/VAT is not a tariff, as it applies equally to local and imported goods. So why do they claim a 10% tariff is “reciprocal”? He replied “I don’t really understand the question”. This is high school-level stuff they don’t even get

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Rogan Josh! I’ve had a few attempts at making this over the years but nothing has ever been as good as my (admittedly excellent) local Indian restaurant. Until now… once again a brilliant recipe from Nagi at RecipeTin and actually really easy to make with very little prep. Bloody delicious!

Saw my first ever gig at Margaret Court Arena this week, and my second time seeing the hauntingly beautiful Khruangbin. How do you describe a band as unique as this?

Farewell Skype - you were a game changing piece of software back in the day when we all still cared about the cost of phone calls. I think the bleepy-bloopy “calling” sound is etched in my memory forever www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is excellent - a good step towards restoring free access to healthcare in Australia www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is fascism. The USA government is being illegally dismantled. This is fascism.

Anyway here's how it played in the press last time anything went this far, just for reference

This feels like perhaps the first time we’ve been able to casually flick between two Australian cricket test matches on free-to-air TV? Which is bloody great. Shame that Aus is completely towelling both teams, so not the best matches to watch #AUSvsENG #SLvsAUS #TestCricket

It is bizarre to me that so many US government bodies are just rolling over and accepting the drastic changes being directed by POTUS (mostly vague orders, in some cases illegal). Why not try and defend your culture and values, built up over decades? If you cave-in, you lose.

World Holocaust Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It is absolutely INSANE to me to see the rise of fascist and Nazi views in western society, including even this week from Elon Musk. How did this suddenly become OK? It is not OK. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

A neat stack of cats enjoying the summer sun

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Heeeeeeey that’s my band headlining on the 17th… we loved playing at Pony

Its fascinating how the #AusOpen has grown its corporate footprint over recent years, and now has more of these massive corporate marquees. They are basically taking over from the Flemington Spring Racing Carnival as “THE” event on the Melb social calendar. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Vale to this absolute legend

For the third time @gigsyoumissed.bsky.social posted a gig I DIDN’T miss… saw this Bert Jansch gig with my late dad (who idolised Jansch) and even got him to sign my ticket! I did wear a Page / Plant tour t-shirt which might have been a faux pas in retrospect

A brilliant five days of test cricket, a treat to watch. And the crowd! Biggest ever. #AUSvIND And that’s probably the series, given the Sydney Test is rained out pretty much every year

So today is our usual council bin day, it’s 5:10PM and our street’s recycling bins still haven’t been emptied. I can only assume the week after Christmas is the worst for the quantity of glass recycling! Those poor garbos…

Happy 13th anniversary to this youtube video

An absolutely cracking roast pork with duck fat potatoes, Joe’s gravy, and a take on the famous Red Spice Road apple slaw. AND a banging pinot noir from Red Hill Estate

💯

This is a good read… the internet, and all the information on it, is essential transient and easily lost over time

Off all my recipe discoveries for the year, I think this is my fave… Baked Fish on Potato Gratin, from Recipe Tin / Nagi. I’ve probably cooked it ten times! Delish.
