I'm sure Israel offer a reciprocal arrangement for humanitarian agencies wanting to provide support in Gaza. #auspol

From Radio Birdman to Taylor ? The evolution of Albo's listening tastes provides a neat metaphor for his journey from the Left to Labor-lite.

Cam Guthrie not offered a contract for 2026. Probably a bridge too far to get back to match fitness. One of my all time favourites. All the best champion. #afl #geelongcats

Full moon over Shimla last night. #shimla #himachalpradesh #india #travel

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

'I’m not saying Geelong have necessarily done anything wrong, but there is no doubt (rival clubs are concerned).”i m backing geleong to win it . i like thier game , they will be the benchmark.. have a look at dread time from champion data if you can find it

Come on @australia.theguardian.com. How are this rabble in a position to plan to ramp up anything except their irrelevant rhetoric ? #auspol

Ted O'Brien's principle delusion is to do with his relevance. #auspol #730Report #economicroundtable

This f##king guy. #warcrimesinc #auspol

Just made this. #firetable

The straight faced, measured word, double speak gymnastics used by our government to sanewash the US-AU relationship is increasingly delusional. If I hear "the National interest" used once more in this context I will explode. Traditional Labor values relegated to the nostalgia bin. #auspol #magabros

This your buddy Minister Marles ? #auspol #aukus

Read the room Angus. We are not receiving unconditional all-weather support from our American friends. Their unpredictable, cherry-picking flip flopping is exactly the behaviour you are accusing our government of. Irrelevance is a self-limiting platform - no need to double down. #auspol #aukus

Nationals "principled" decision spells death knell for the LNP coalition and nukes any path back to government. The flame of conservatism in Australia is guttering as it struggles to define its relevance or future. #auspol #lnp

The worst result of this Lib. vote will be the amplified manslaining of the smarmy Costanza-esque Ted O'Brien as Deputy Leader. #auspol #libspill

... And excellent spelling. #abcnews #illiterateoz

Ed Husic for PM. #auspol

Of course the Gold Coast Titans break a 5 game losing streak against Newcastle in Newcastle. Newcastle cough up a 20-0 lead to lose 24-20. Awful. #nrl #newcastlekights

ABC News channel now trying to hose down the enormity of the election result. "Punters are disillusioned with the major parties so they voted indifferently, because the two were just the same". Not buying this because we would have seen votes sprayed in both directions. This is patently false Fauzia

Dutton's rally speech this morning could be recycled as his concession speech on Saturday night. #auspol #lnpdebacle

No surprise Jane Norman is hosting David Littleproud on National Press Club right now. #auspol #npc

Bluesfest 2025. Got a private lesson from Christone "Kingfish" Ingram last night. #bluesfest #kingfish

Heading north for Bluesfest 2025 this morning. Looking forward to seeing these guys. #bluesfest #kingfish #tommorello #garyclarkjr

World Record Store Day 2025. #vinyl #WorldRecordStoreDay #stooges

Quality debate. "Will you apologise ..." "Do you get grumpy ..." Fox News elevating our National discourse. Chalmers ambushed / out numbered, he knows it, and will make the best of it. But really, it's a shitshow. #auspol #treasurersdebate

Fox News not making the mistake of appearing as non-partisan during the Treasurer's debate. A continuous chyron of government sledging "headlines". #auspol #treasurersdebate

Never thought I'd be watching Sky News but here we are. #peoplesforum #auspol

Son and DIL are in Ipswich. We are in Newcastle. Was supposed to be at the Cats v Lions game with them tonight and had a unit booked in Caloundra for the weekend to catch up with family. That can all wait. Will flood in Ipswich - just waiting to see how they get on. Stay safe all. #TCAlfred #cyclone

Australian journalists are starting to call it as it is. Why can’t the American journalists?

Watching AFL Community Series where my team is not involved is really enjoyable. Let's go Adelaide. #AFL #GeelongCats

OK @albomp.bsky.social - time to call the election, form government, and decouple us from this evolving shitshow. Dutton will fluff the pillows and get straight into bed with this, further cementing our lapdog status. Time to show the world some moral courage. #auspol

How the fuck do we live in a world where Antoinette Lattouf can be taken off air but Kyle Sandilands remains untouched?

After 6 bikeless months, I picked up this 2010 Street Triple. 15 years old and only travelled 14,000 km. Spotless. Only mods -: - Levers - Triumph master cylinder - Oxford heated grips - Wind shield. Not sure if these came with braided brake lines as stock. Pumped. #motorcycle #triumpstreettriple

The lasting image of US resistance to the Trump / Musk coup will be a talking head, yowling endlessly, on repeat, into the void on their YouTube channel or podcast. "Interviewing" each other, referencing social media posts, and pushing each other out of the way in the quest for follows. #trumpcoup

Seeing these two legends tonight in Sydney. Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings.

Vale David Lynch. I'm grateful that he left us a unique, complex cinematic universe that I choose to inhabit regularly. His vision is so singular that I don't even need to roll the tape - just step in. Thinking of Kyle MacLachlan who has lost a great friend.

I nominate the word "crisis". The way this word has been bandied about in every second news grab has actively devalued its' true meaning. Its' current usage is used to describe situations that are chronic or institutional.

Contrary to our own mythology that describes a forthright people, with a streak of boldness and contrariness, Australians (for the most part) have morphed into a risk averse, rule making and obeying chorus, with a first impulse to tut-tut at those that challenge boundaries.

Election incoming. Albanese delivering full blown election pitch in Brisbane this morning. #auspol #election2025

The problem is not flag shagging, walking policy vacuum Peter Dutton. We know who he is. It is the fact that a significant number of Australians heed this signal to wear their racism and cultural bankruptcy as a badge of honour. Unfortunately, this is a chronic shackle of the Australian condition.

The cricket is outstanding this summer, but already getting impatient for AFL 25. Just got tickets for Cats season opener vs Lions at the GABBA. Always look forward to the next season with renewed optimism. Go Catters !! #GeelongCats #geelongstrong #CatsvsLions #AFL

Our very own Project 25 being implemented by this rabble in true Australian Deep North style. Remember QLD - you invited this.

Sitting on 36 C in Wallsend. How's everyone else doing?

Senator Payman calling out Pauline Hanson in the Senate today is gripping stuff. Her summary of Hanson's litany of racist soundbites read like the forensic report on the rotten scrapings of Australia's ever present, denied, rationalised and institutional racist underbelly.
