Australians: this is how cricket sounds to Americans.

Now hear me out, before that weirdo Edison gets here, I have 300 micrograms of Lysergic acid diethylamide....

I've been walking around for the last week saying "I know its too early, but if we put the decorations up now we beat the Americans"

Keep this in kind whenever you're tempted to call anyone who has been a member of the Liberal party in the 21st century "moderate". They are all radical reactionaries. They are the extremists.

Me, realising my reply should have been a quote post

Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago.

I'm so high I've forgotten my X password, wondering if I should ever get that sober again.

Controversial opinion: if you can't get your Toorak tractor in between the lines at the supermarket car park, you do not have the requisite skills to be driving something so big.

Head on Bannerman watch. #AUSvIND

Looks like "finally making runs in the middle order of a shield side" might not be the best way to pick an opener.

Fun fact: I'm #Aboriginal - my mobs are Gamilaraay, Worimi, and Wonnarua, all in NSW. Second fun fact: Hello in the language of my Gamilaraay ancestors is 'Yaama'. So: Yaama Bluesky! #language

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

If civil war breaks out, meet up at the library. They don’t know where that is.

Quality shit post

At this rate it feels like Democrats are about to refer to abortion rights as a “culture war”…

3. Because this is an essential service, we have no choice but to pay for it. The monopoly has us over a barrel. It can therefore charge “entry fees” (also known rents) over and above the costs of delivering the service. It’s a form of coercive private taxation.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵

I was just thinking about my dad's old man swag (we call him Sleepy Joe for reference), and started pitying those guys who still wake up and put a suit on each day after they retire. 1/

I wrote an accessible thing on Facebook about how disinformation works and how we can all confront it. If you are struggling with disinformation-addled pals or colleagues, please do take this, use it, rewrite it in your own words, share it. X www.facebook.com/share/1Gt2LT...

Breaking: eating chicken is woke

I once turned down an interview on 2GB to talk about Don Bradman because earlier in the day Alan Jones used *the* slur on air. Probably for the best, not sure that audience wants to hear my opinions on Don Bradman.

Not just LGBT, but anyone. Except those that would do harm.
