Taylor Swift is expected to end the ceasefire and launch a new round of strikes on Iran shortly after American markets close on Friday evening. Swift’s management is however still negotiating with the IRGC

The great divide in Australian politics is ‘rich Boomers with access to influential media yelling at politicians about property tax’ and ‘I wonder if there’s enough votes in punishing the rich Boomers with property tax’. I know where I stand obviously but it’s an open and genuine debate

One of my favourite things on Instagram is yanks freaking out about random breath testing in Australia

Saving this one to use at work one of these days

Bluey is a show designed to inculcate a love of climate-appropriate, well-ventilated, shaded, traditional timber housing forms

So, here's a weird little story of These Times we are living in. Has anyone noticed the @alexavee.me account on here? I have! And I have some questions about it.

A drunken, filthy, hateful Robespierre, somehow brought alive and retching into the wrong century’s politics

In Australia the plan for the quantitative easing in response to global downturn is for someone to call up Mark Latham on an open line to 2GB, wait for him to grotesquely defame someone, and prime the pump of the economy with his payout plus costs

Mark Latham continues his generosity as one of Australia’s leading funding sources for progressive and independent politicians www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest the answer to this is "No."

THIRD TIME AS LARP

If I were revolutionising myself and things, I would simply not conjure up the spirits of the past to my service, or borrow their names and battle slogans

The submarines of aerospace

FOURTEEN #fourteen breaking out here

Now give this man a box of crayons, some maps with national borders, an index box full of personal records of citizens, and the ear of a minister disposed to hear him out, and you’ve got the twentieth century babbey

Re. Last boost. All through the days of Twitter I seemed to avoid receiving weird abuse, except for the one time I referred to myself as a historian (in the technical sense: I work in a historical research field, and have a history degree), and got death threats for it. The historians are not OK

@goldwagnathan.bsky.social stop being a self promoting historian

I don’t think we’re ever going to get those submarines, hey

We finally have a prize for NRL Island worth the competition

Regard me world with envy, for I have one of the Australian passports with the picture of the kids playing netball in it #whistle #contact

I suggest you suck my dangly bits

Do better

Yer midnight lullaby. First heard this as a teen growing up in a charmingly decrepit tropical outpost of Empire. White linen suits are seriously high maintenance. Also, insect control. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KIH...

I will say this for my country over the British, our members of parliament might be alcoholics and worse, but they know how to spill an unpopular leader

[the whole of Australia does the side-eye puppet gesture]

Todd T. Squirrel does not know the law

AV Jennings?!? Shit, they still owe you money, fool!

Housing/planning economics is one of those things that’s complicated but not *that* complicated, but a bit special in that if you think too hard about it without adult supervision you get to a box with only bad occult shit in it and old horrible ideas. ‘What is money anyway?’ No. Don’t open the box.

also it is genuinely funny beyond belief to call housing "a finite and precious asset" like come on girl what are we doing here

Agree to disagree 🙂

Remember when Dan Quayle couldn’t spell ‘potato’

BLAMAIN

It’s like when Edmund Wilson wrote his book about railway services between St Petersburg and Helsinki

This is an incredible tweet.

Never mind the computer generated 1984. Let’s get the Pixar version of Darkness At Noon

I’m so pumped for the robot probe mission to Phobos

I think Australia's defence establishment is fighting the last war and has failed to learn lessons from conflicts like Ukraine. The strategic env. calls for neutral foreign policy, cheap, mass-produced drones made in Australia and rapid electrification to end reliance on imported oil, gas coal.

We all of us spend our lives chasing that anticipation that comes of a film opening credit that reads DI LAURENTIIS

The rich don’t play by the rules. So why should we not steal? First, Conan, you must know the riddle of steel. Learn its discipline. Only this you can trust.

Another way to have reasonable replies is to post well

Prabowo and Putin sure have lofty plans, but I don't think they can get anywhere near the cool of Sukarno and Khrushchev

and?

My day has been cursed by seeing the two-fer of two different Ineos Grenadiers parked in a row. This side of the harbour sucks
