Is #Starc the only player to score consecutive half centuries in this #Ashes series so far? I'm thinking yes?!

#BenjaminNetanyahu and others have insisted that any criticism of Israel is an anti-Semitic attack on all Jews. Logically then, it follows that ALL Jews are culpable for Israel's crimes against humanity in #Gaza. Either both of these statements are true, or both are false. I know what I think.

Frydenberg can go fuck himself, as can every other piece of shit trying to spin this tragedy for political gain. If there's a hell, they'll find out the hard way. #auspol #bondi www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Fear isn't predictive just because what was feared eventuates. And just because we are afraid something might happen doesn't mean you can prevent it. There's a lot of blame-seeking hyperbole being thrown around at the moment. Wiser heads must prevail. #Bondi #auspol

Esky technology has some catching up to do in time for the full flowering of this Australian summer.

I’m not anti-OHS. If you’re welding, wear a welding mask. But blokes who suit up like they’re about to enter Chernobyl’s Reactor 4 just to whipper-snip their lawn edges need to take a good long hard look at themselves.

I hope the fuckwits who first proposed this travesty are shown the door, in the event they lack the belated integrity to leave of their own accord. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is probably my musical highlight of 2025. I love the confounding of expectations, the obliteration of stereotypes. And FWIW, I really do like death metal; I've just never heard it emanate from someone who looks like Ignacia Fernández. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwbZ...

England appoint OJ Simpson Lawyer as new coach, who pledges to focus on Chewbacca Defence. #Fuzzball #Ashes #CricketSky

I was telling my son this morning (who’s not much of a footy fan) about the ‘Don’t Argue’ and the 'Falcon'. He quite liked the DA as an expression, but reckons that the falcon should be called the magpie. I think he’s completely correct. #AFLSky

Just to be clear, I'm completely ok with this. I was never going to go there anyway. Dictatorial cults aren't really my vibe. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This a terrific piece about why Test Cricket is the summit. You either get it or you don’t. www.espncricinfo.com/story/west-i...

Absolutely. Social media is toxic for kids. It’s bad enough for adults.

Trump is evil's bitch.

Dead right.

The world is being run by craven cowards and bullying scum. Some days, it's hard to see the fucking point. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Libs. Forever obsessed with copulation. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

I’d love to hear #Metallica cover White Man by #Queen. I reckon they’d smash it. Deep, dark, angry beast of a song.

We breed because life is worth living here.

Imagine giving a fuck about this. I can't even bring myself to try. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

He's mentally decomposing in real time. Imagine have an elected government that lacks the balls, brains or conscience to do something about it. Forget the swamp; these people are the mould that's growing in Reactor Number Four. #trump #uspol www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Amazing how many kids are worried about the social media ban, fearing they won't be able to communicate with their friends. Remarkable. They're going to have to learn what a phone actually is.

Some people seem to think that left-leaning people are worried that there will be #Democrats in the #Epstein Files. Bullshit. Frankly, if fucking Obama is in the Epstein Files, I hope he gets walloped with the full force of the law. In no sane country is paedophilia a partisan issue. #uspol

Hard to know what was dumber: voting for Trump or voting for Brexit. On balance, it's got to be Trump, simply because the US was insane enough to do it twice. Mind you, if the UK had a second vote, they're still just racist and stupid enough to vote for it again.

Is #MarkKelly the next US President?

An American 'centrist' is still a right-wing extremist in the eyes of the majority of the functioning Western World. The USA is up shit creek without a paddle but thinks it's in the Bahamas.

What utter nonsense. Some people just don't get it. Being a 'centrist' isn't ideal when the ship of state is nearly vertical more than half under water.

Yeah-Nah. It'll be gone soon after the mid-terms. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I've had some strange dreams in my time, but finding myself in a pairs competitive lego assemblage competition partnered with Sir Elton John is right up there.

I think I've found my spirit animal.

Makes sense. I gather he was left-handed, too, which is surely a bugger for me, should I ever muster the insanity required to consider going to the US. Also, is this a picture of #Trump or a recently deceased Galapagos Tortoise? #uspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Treason is the new standard in Trump's America. #uspol #russia #ukraine #witkoff #traitor www.bbc.com/news/article...

His legacy? How exactly does one taint a legacy of being a pissed-up, carp-shagging, coal-eating bag of beetroot, booze and bile? #BarnabyJoyce #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Ok, so this is becoming something else. Lengthy pieces now being written on Xander-Buffy, Buffy-Giles, with Buffy-Willow coming next. I seem to be writing a book. 22k words and rising rather quickly. Had multiple projects on the go already - this has come out of nowhere! #BtVS #BuffytheVampireSlayer

I don’t know why this thought’s occurred (I may need help), but I can’t shake the thought that ‘Scrotum’ would be a great name for a comic book villain. Onomatopoetically, it just sounds right. And damn, he’d have to be one scary-looking bastard. #Marvel #DC

This is a challenging fuck up, in that it seems remarkably difficult to achieve. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Only took 40 years . . . #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

I've just written a 15k word essay that examines the Spike-Buffy relationship in #BuffyTheVampireSlayer for no other reason than I really wanted to. I used to love the show, have most of it committed to memory. Don't know why, but I've thinking about it (and these two) a lot lately. #BtVS #Spuffy

#MasonCox arrives at the #FreoDockers. #AFL

Good. Adapt or die. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

This people have no idea how productivity works. None whatsoever. Run a country? These idiots couldn't run a bath. #auspol #liberalparty www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

No surprises here. Corrupt, incompetent, shameless. Trump is min a nutshell #jamescomey # uspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Seriously, @albomp.bsky.social? What the fuck are you thinking?!? #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Clearly thinks he will get away with releasing part of them. #uspol #epsteinfiles www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Followers of the #QAnon conspiracy theory believed that there was a cadre of powerful paedophiles in government and other organisations. Astonishingly, they've been proven correct. Too bad they helped vote one of them into the Whitehouse, though. #EpsteinFiles #uspol

Find me an avowed Trumper who ISN'T insane. . .

I've been re-watching #BuffyTheVampireSlayer for the first time in 20 years. God, there's some brilliant stuff in it. Interestingly, though, the sixth season - which I didn't much care for the first time round - has aged extremely well. Darker, yes, but complex, rewarding and very human. #BtVS

This is horribly powerful. Makes me so fucking angry. These pedophiles and pedophile-protecting bastards need to burn in hell.

Might be, eh? This bloke should be a truffle pig with a snout like that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
