If you are writing John Law's obituary It should be in the form of bad poetry You must refer to his tonsils as golden And his talkback radio days as olden Be nice to the bloke, don't be obscene Be kind to each other, you know what I mean

I'm so going to put Basil Fawlty in here goosestepping and saying 'Don't Mention the Epstein Files'

RIP John Laws

There used to be an eccentric woman who frequented our local dog park. She did terrible rhymes and hinted very strongly that she was John Law’s secret daughter.

#60mins reporting via a whistleblower that a bikie linked security gang has partnered with our own Australian Federal Police to manage refugees on Nauru. Wild. Tragic. Outrageous. Corruption. This is a genuine scandal. #60minutes #nauru #albanese

Only one got Courtney. The other two weren’t good

John Laws is dead. One of Australia's most successful broadcasters. As a teenager I rang his show. We argued for 10mins on air. He hung up on me with the words "you're obviously a loser in life & going nowhere. Goodbye."

“Barnaby Joyce is a one-man plotline,” writes Tony Windsor. “His achievements for the people he professes to represent are slim to infinitesimal. Even Joyce’s former campaign manager, Russell Webb, told local television, ‘Barnaby can’t get anything done.’” satpa.pe/SGVbQRc

“Goodbye world, I’m no longer John Laws”

Agnes, 78, from Leeds says she was just focused on getting home and having a nice cup of tea...

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

What a great idea.

Meanwhile, in New South Wales….

Dear AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social Israel has murdered: • 69,169 people (incl. 18,500 children) • 217 journalists • 224 aid workers • 120 academics • 165,000 injured Yet STILL your Govt refuses to #SanctionIsrael or expel the Israeli Ambassador. Shame 😠 #auspol #GazaGenocide #IsraeliTerrorism

The Ovaltine Orifice

In its spate of extrajudicial killings the US has now murdered at least 70 people. Neither Trump, Hegseth nor anyone else has provided the public, or Congress, any evidence that its targets were smuggling drugs or posed a threat to the United States in any way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Saw someone share an article about a 9 month investigation to see if Twitter’s algorithm is amplifying far right content. Next for that journalist: spending the best part of a year investigating if you can find shoes in a shoe shop.

Well he’s already had quite a lot of practice at lying in state…

Whoever does @australia.theguardian.com’s headlines is absolutely on fire lately

Do they also have CRACKLE and POP benefits in the US?

It shouldn’t be a separation of church and state, it should be a divorce with no shared custody or access to democracy

Someone needs to work out how to make AI bots kill themselves and their data centres

On TikTok there's a woman doing a fairly clever social experiment. She's calling churches around the US and asking if they can help her get formula for her baby. She tracks on a spreadsheet which ones say yes. It makes me wish we could strip religious tax exemption from orgs that fail their values.

The rain just won’t stop

25 years ago today: the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. 36 days later, it was effectively decided by the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who voted with the majority, would later she regretted that the court accepted the case.
