I always send postcards when I travel, especially to my godson who loves them. I don't remember anyone ever saying, "Gosh I hate it when someone sends me a postcard"! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Watching Roger Cawley in Goolagong makes me wonder when Australian men stopped dressing for style instead of comfort. No jeans, no sneakers. Just sophisticated men in sophisticated clothing. Here's to men who wear shirts with collars and buttons!

Community isn't the problem. We all bonded with each other pretty quickly. It's post-graduation that's the issue. I saw 20somethings with no life or work experience get jobs at places where we couldn't even get interviews. Age is an asset, not a liability. www.lawyersweekly.com.au/biglaw/43574...

I'll just leave this here... www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfX7...

How many women in Australia are victims of domestic violence? How many have died at the hands of their partners? How many were ignored by police when they begged for help?That's the royal commission we need.

When I was in Mandalay, Myanmar, in 2017, a German guy at my hostel and I turned this into a drinking game. Every time you see someone in elephant pants, you have to drink. Cambodia is also a good place to buy them. www.betootaadvocate.com/local-gp-sig...

Wow. I never thought of it that way.

If you have a cat and need to add some excitement to your life, I recommend calling for them to the tune of Beethoven's 5th (Puss puss puss PUSS).

Oh my God! This. This is EXACTLY why I loathe LinkedIn.

I guess I do have a superpower:

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

Me heading into 2026:

When I was 19 and driving along Marmion Avenue in Fremantle, I heard Julia by Chris Rea and fell in love with it. I still have the CD single. I always promised myself that if I had a little girl, I would name her Julia. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/d...

Remembering my first Christmas present from a boyfriend. Tickets to REM concert. REM was his favourite band. He arrived one hour late and then went back again the next night.

I’ve worked out what I want for Christmas: the confidence of an unattractive, mediocre, straight, white, man.

Kind of over people right about now… trailers.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/98...

I am O- and will be in Sydney tomorrow so I am hoping I can donate. Please do the same too if you can. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Thank God! A generation of men who won't need Google Maps to find the clitoris! slate.com/life/2025/12...

Go Connies!

I have been waiting years for someone to do this. I guess that's what happens when you take over a company and sack the legal department.

Yes. Yes you are.

Discovery of the day: Why do we use the phrases "single by choice" and "single by circumstance" but not the phrases "married by choice" and "married by circumstance" ?

Shoutout to all the people out there living their worst lives. Any idiot can live their best life, but living your worst life takes courage. Don’t give up.

I lived in Tokyo for 3.5 years. NEVER, EVER, try to convince me that men don’t prioritise looks! www.news.com.au/finance/cult...

Women realising they are fabulous and can do whatever they want, whenever they want would be my guess. www.theguardian.com/travel/2025/...

When your plane lands in Beirut one of the first things you see is the nearby Pepsi factory. The availability and low price of Pepsi is one of the things that struck me during my time in Lebanon. Can only recollect one place selling Coke in Beirut and I think it was a restaurant.

Dear Men. Being a nice guy is like being famous. If you have to tell someone that you are, then you aren't.

There has been a landslide in Tahiti. At least seven people are dead. Why is nobody in Australian media covering this?

Cough. Dough. Rough. Kudos to all the people out there who do not have English as their first language. It really is the most impossible and illogical language!

Just when I think I could not love this woman any more than I do! #malala

Wow. And to think I once lost a job after one month for wearing headphones around the office.

There is no such thing as the perfect marriage propos- www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN9J...

Hey Piers Morgan, should the England cricket team bat or bowl on the first day of the Ashes? #ashes

To this day, it's one of the best decisions I have ever made, and in my case, it was also to a country where I didn't speak the language.

This is sickening. Utterly sick. Why didn't you just give him to a shelter or to someone who would have loved him? @animaljusticeparty.bsky.social we need harsher sentences for people who do things like this! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Naccache. My happy home from 2017 - 2018. Dbayeh. Great shopping centre and friendly taxi drivers who remember "Miss Rebecca" when she needs a ride home. :)

The EU is reviewing the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) to ban “conversion therapy” across Europe. The next few months are critical – let’s make sure they act. I’ve signed to keep up the pressure. Join me 👉 a.allout.org/s/PEZER/

As a qualified lawyer and translator, the comments from the translator and the lawyer on here are concerning (but accurate). I also know that people are going to turn to AI when they want their last wills and testaments done. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

When Smartraveller has had enough of being tactful. This is the DFAT equivalent of, "Don't have sex, cos you will get pregnant and DIE!":

First thought on waking up: If Westley is the love of her life, why didn't Buttercup recognise his voice when he was the Dread Pirate Roberts?

ASIO must be having a tough time with recruitment. Was on the bus the other day and 95% of people in the street and on the bus were on their smartphones. I remember thinking they wouldn't notice if anything substantial happened around them.

There is a special place in hell for people who do this.

This is wonderful. Right up there with "Don't Date A Girl Who Travels".

I just signed @australiainstitute.org.au's petition: Australia Needs a National Firearms Register! Will you join me? nb.australiainstitute.org.au/australia_ne...

30 years ago today, a great man was taken from us. RIP Yitzhak Rabin. Thank you for trying to change the world to make it a better place for everyone. #yitzhakrabin

The site where I load my LLM papers was kind enough to inform me that its AI feature turned one of my 8000-word essays into a "comic". Thoughts? Opinions?
