Blast from the pandejo! @actualbenfolds.bsky.social featuring on @timminchin.bsky.social Apart Together (Live At Trackdown Studios). Was such a fun livestream at such a weird time.

What a fabulous cover of Kylie by Paul Kelly

I wish we knew how this will pan out.

Why am I not surprised by this?....

Another lovely interview Mr @actualbenfolds.bsky.social

We've only been advocating for a fair funding share for two years now...

This week the Liberals have scrapped their commitment to net zero in an effort to keep the Coalition united. 👉 Read the full story: theconversation.com/grattan...

Shakes head. I honestly don't have an issue with governments of either persuasion properly responding to genuine concerns about things like energy costs, but ditching net zero isn't the answer.

I love this. Who says Australia has no culture 😂

I love The Shovel 😂

No surprises here....

The public servant nerd in me can’t wait to watch this.

Well this is a bit sad 😢

I guess that’s what happens when you keep jacking up the excise and don’t put money into enforcement 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe the tide is starting to turn?....

Intergenerational inequality is growing. Here are 5 ways young people are getting the short end of the stick. 👉 Read the full story: theconversation.com/5-chart...

The National Party has agreed unanimously to re-commit to its target of making the Liberal Party completely unelectable by 2050, saying it will continue to put forward ridiculous climate policies until every urban Coalition seat is lost.

Housing is unoquivically the biggest driver of intergenerational inequity. Time to talk turkey on tax reform (among other things).

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Lovely interview on PBS @actualbenfolds.bsky.social - even from all the way over here what happening makes me sad.

For completeness, here’s the full speech. Almost as if he’s refuting the use of tariffs the way someone is right now…..

Awww did someone get their feelings hurt hearing a different perspective?….

Let’s dance to Joy Division

Not a bad back yard

“Sure, it was disappointing to lose the 'Duke of York' title, but it turns out in one of the former colonies, America, I can finally be King!" chaser.com.au/world/epstei...

I mean you could provide affordable health care, paid maternity leave and subsidised childcare as a start…

Damn I love Folk Bitch Trio. Those harmonies are to die for.

One of my favourite birds - NOT AN OWL(like a koala is not a bear 😂)

On the 11th day of Christmas my true love sent me - a thousand pipers piping…

I love looking at these each year. Toss up between Frolicking Frogs and the Natural Artistry (although I'm not a fan of spiders).

I love this story!

Went for a brief visit to a metro beach over the weekend. It might be safe but it isn’t exactly pleasant. Whole place has an odd smell and weird vibe. I so hope we can sort this awful thing soon.

Awww. Love numbats. One of my favourite books as a kid was Rusty the Nimble Numbat.

Have to admit. It’s nice to work in the public service supporting a progressive reforming government. But there’s still more to do.

They survived the fires - I hope they can make it through this too 🐝

I still love this pupper story

Every American should read this judge’s stirring rebuke to Trump | Austin Sarat

I definitely grew up watching this!!

I sure hope it survives. But I really don't think people appreiate how much of our system actually relies on convention versus constitution (etc).

This is just awful. I hope we can find a solution.

Oooh you can watch the full Grammy Museum chat @actualbenfolds.bsky.social

Nice little chat and playlist @actualbenfolds.bsky.social - always a pleasure to hear you talk about songs. Maybe someone can talk you into being the Double J Artist in Residence (again!) while you're over here... PS unfortunately serial killers are still a thing, and I can organise you a frog cake.
