Happy Birthday Governor Newsom Keep On Trolling.......

Hell of a thing to put next to a statue of Joan of Arc. (h/t David Pilling)

Typical day for an Aussie voiceover guy: Spend 20 minutes trying to remove a f***ing blowfly from your recording space, giving up and going to the pub instead.😬

Charlie who?

I wasn't prepared before I read this. It's hit me pretty hard, to be honest.

Flagging it. Today’s @theage cartoon.

The hateful resentful phucs havent changed a bit since 2009. They'll always be hateful resentful phucs. Translation - The same LNP since always... #auspol

DONALD TRUMP FOR POPE! ...he'll be the bigliest most beautiful pontiff ever!

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.

About 9 years ago, I was approached by a Polish production company to narrate a documentary, called Photon. @normanleto.bsky.social was the Director. It's on YouTube now! 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8jE...

PLEASE, sign this petition!

Thank you Sarah Ferguson. The opener to 7.30 tonight was perfect! "More on Donald Trumps tarriffs...." 🤣

Delusions of Adequacy: "I’m a bit over this new masculinity. It stinks of Eau-de-flop-sweat, and there’s no escaping the reek. This whiffy motherfucker is everywhere... and notwithstanding the endless loop of victory laps these guys have been taking recently, it doesn’t smell like victory."

The Jewish Council of Australia strongly condemns Donald Trump’s suggestion the United States will ‘take over’ the Gaza Strip and move Palestinian people elsewhere. You can read our full statements in the latest media release at jewishcouncil.com.au.

What a brilliant article. It should harm the status quo, but it probably won't. Can Grace Tame be appointed Australian of the year more than once? We need more people like her who aren't afraid to speak truth to power! www.crikey.com.au/2025/01/29/g...

it's a little bit warm in Burra today....

Peter Dutton has just announced free lunches for business leaders but he does not support free TAFE for everyone else. It seems he has no problem with tax payer funded free stuff so long as it’s just for bosses.

Legend has it that if you rub it a Gina emerges and grants you three wishes

NYT journalist Shawn Hubler has written of the psychological toll of the LA fires. "Fires like the ones this week also take landscapes that, when they go, can take a piece of you with them." Now let's report on Israel's destruction of the land of Gaza, including farm land. #LAfires #GazaGenocide

Anthony Albanese has called for fixed four year terms. Makes sense to me. If you agree, RT. Disagree, "like"? #auspol

@lelievre.bsky.social in AFR

I've survived #whamageddon ! Yay me! Merry xmas everyone! 😃

I managed to beat the birds to them one year and made a loquat mead/peach wine blend. It was pretty good!

It's that time of year again. Go forth, and may you all avoid the Accursed Tune!

This may LOOK like a 12m-high loquat tree, but don't be fooled. It is actually the world's largest Red Wattlebird feeder. We're lucky to get any fruit at sll before they strip it!😆

A random internet find from years ago, randomly found in a photo library scroll today. It always gets me right in the childhood, especially on weekday mornings.

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father. Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

It’s all in the telling.

Yep.

Ahem .. *cough*

Charities are a sign of political failure The only reason people in Aust can’t afford food, a home, medical access - is because of deliberate decisions by career politicians. The solutions to all of these issues is in our hands through our active engagement in our democracy - & our vote! #auspol
