What are we going to do now that Test cricket is finished. BBL does nothing, super rugby still weeks away.

Best of 2025: There are no curtains to hide behind. The victims are on our screens, in our homes, pleading for us to do something. And the choice to act, or not to act, lies with us all. #auspol #genocide

This would be a blast www.whichcar.com.au/features/cla...

Trump will lead the US into a major conflict www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Scary moment on evening walk in suburbs of Sydney. Dusk along a road adjoining bush so light was poor. Teen girls on an E bike on the road. No tail light. Car did not see them due to the lack of street lights and dusk and had to make emergency action to avoid tragedy. Government needs to take action

@alison-mitchell.bsky.social big shout out to you for the commentary this series. Overheard on ABC your trip to Shoal Bay. Port Stephens area. It's fantastic place. Sand dunes, Anna Bay with a book and hat is a dream spot. Enjoy

Another quagmire for British and French troops www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

England woes. Skipper Stokes off

Sydney forecast manageable except for Saturday

Trump attacking source of drugs but doing nothing to curtail demand in his own country. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The path taken by the UK. Don't upset The Donald as he has us by the balls. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Trump is rewriting the political narrative in the US. Tim Walz gone. Which other moderate people will leave the arena or be sidelined. Fast descent into authoritarian rule

Venezuela should ask Trump for federal funding as trump is now running things. Funds for infrastructure, schools, health etc. Everything that is needed in the US.

Ford given up on the small family car sector www.drive.com.au/news/ford-ce...

All cricket fans applaud Joe Root. 150 at the SCG. Hope he gets the double ton. Unlikely we will see him again here so make the most of a generational talent.

There it is. Monroe Doctrine. Roosevelt Corollary.

Worth repeating the Roosevelt Corollary that Trump is restating en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooseve...

A picture of gorgeousness is Sydney today and perfect backdrop for the cricket.

Reflecting on the angst of many over Trump and Venezuela. During the last many decades there is ample evidence of the USA acting like this. We should not be surprised. Monroe Doctrine 2.0

Well worth reading, listening to. Especially those who share an Indian heritage who migrated to the UK in the 60's onwards

Independence Day vibe of storm heading across and about to his Sydney

Solid looking storm creeping over Sydney

This fellow Trump has some chutzpah. Will run Venezuela as de facto President for a while. Why bother with elections if you can just take. USA would do well to note this

Scarborough station in the Illawarra. Original station overlooking the Pacific

South Pacific day here in Australia

Australia is very ancient land. Layer upon layer. Geologists here would be able to explain

Down the coast from Sydney at the Sea Cliff Bridge in the Illawarra. Bridge replaced the road which was subject to erosion

Where are the living ex presidents, Bush, Clinton, Obama and Biden on this?

Predictable hoo rah comments on threads and other platforms extolling the virtues of US military strength ridding the world of another communist etc. The world enters a hugely dangerous phase

What international law? It's in the bin now. Putin, Netanyahu, Trump have shown they can and will do whatever they want without facing any consequences.

Playing around with editing software on phone whilst at Cronulla beach tonight.

Friday night in Cronulla looking out towards Kurnell

Glanced at the SMH and its pile on by 'business leaders' calling upon the PM for a RC. Just ridiculous and motivated by naked opportunism fuelled by external forces. We get on pretty well and must resist efforts to divide us

Tried the Remarkable note taking tablet. Superb and just like actual writing on paper

Leaving Hurstville station to head home. Very quiet on the trains. Pick up later perhaps. a solid police presence there. Unnecessary as Hurstville is very Asian, Chinese and little old ladies there tend not to be too dangerous

ACT about to be drenched. Happy New Year to all there, yes even the politicians

Silent Night is quite the appropriate time for a heist www.bbc.com/news/article...

Quick look at the Threads account. It's Twitter X now with slightly fewer nazis.

Sorry but this is very wrong by Mimms. This sows further division. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Netanyahu visting Florida. Appalling that the architect of the destruction of Gaza welcomed as a free man www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

Quiet afternoon reading in the park with this magnificent tree providing the backdrop

Covert war in Latin America. USA has form in this www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

On train to Town Hall, Sydney. Nobody around.

Deleted Twitter account. 99.9% rugby and cricket feed but that's overwhelmed by the weight of extremism there. Trying to debate the intricacies of a scrum or Steve Smith's technique with a nazi is not fulfilling for the soul.
