Worried about the state of Australian regional and rural communities? Let's follow Scotland on community wealth reform. bccm.coop/scotland-lea...

I'm talking about men, pubs, and reading at this festival in Maryborough Vic, next weekend. Join us if you want to hear me tell funny book club stories, then get lost in the weeds on community organising and civic psychology. #vic #bookclubs #mensreading wiwcg.com.au/bookmarks-an...

It's weird that very minor changes to negative gearing are being treated as a hate crime against a generation.

Hey UK, One more time. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Watching the new documentary “Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare” (Crave/HBO). It’s really well done. So much footage of quake I’ve not seen (watched loads of YouTube) & the case against Tokyo Electric Power Company is damning. Quake, tsunami then an entirely human-made disaster.

We live in a time of monsters. youtu.be/3xEuE_skEz8?...

Constantly saying she ran a fish-and-chip shop isn't the effective tactic you think it is. It just tells some working-class people that you don't think people like them deserve to be in politics & that only people like you should be allowed to have a say. #auspol

Wow this decades energy crisis really makes you wish we started building a national high-speed electric rail network during the last one. #numtot #rail #auspol

Im kind of shocked more people dont mention Flatliners (1990)

No matter how you present this data, the drunk uncles of Australia won't believe it. We're going to cook our country by listening to the people in your life that you won't take advice from. #auspol #climate www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. —Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Dana White is coming to ruin boxing. Collective bargaining should be the right of all workers. Even sports ones. #boxing #union #iww youtu.be/7iKoH6LceBo?...

Captain Renault: I'm shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here. #food

Perhaps we should be a Republic so that family is not the royal family of our country. You know, that one that sucks. #auspol

Dear street artists of my neighbourhood. I like people painting things on the front of my house; it's one of the things I love about it, but please lay off the gold and silver. It's so tacky. It's starting to look like a suburban hip-hop themed burger chain from 2004. #streetart #art #painting

But why do people who are economically hurting want to see people they think are less valid crying in the streets, even though it won't solve their problem? This.. This is what has radicalised your drunk uncle. academic.oup.com/scan/article... #auspol #neuroscience #racism

The next Australian election is going to be disgusting. One Nation is going to drag us all into a racism fight and beat everyone with their experience. Don't let them #auspol #racism youtu.be/75H8J6lURZc?...

Perhaps it's wrong for our country to beat up its citizens for not showing sufficient deference to foreign leaders. Just things to think about. #auspol #australia

It's great that we dont have coffee chains in my neighbourhood. That way all the coffee shops can independently decide to look exactly the same and serve the exact same things. #Melbourne #coffee #brunswick

Still second class.

This year, more people than ever have forgotten that we've never really been a flag-worshipping country. That whole thing is being imported from the States. Nothing says "I Love My Country" like importing your politics, positions, and rituals from another country. #auspol #australia

I love that every 2 year we have to re-explain "infinite diversity in infinite combinations" to the same guys. While they say "but not this combination!". #treksky

It's pretty funny how little will change if Newsom wins the next US election.

Nothing reminds you of your position in the universe than a barber fucking your hair right up.

During the 1980 Olympic Boycott, Carter proposed that the Olympics be permanently moved to Greece to avoid political entanglement. It's time to make that happen. #olympics

The state always expects the untrained average citizen to protect the professionally trained law enforcer from confusion or fear in times of stress, or they get to pay with their lives.

What about one of those incompetence vs job movies where, due to convoluted reasons, Matt Berry is forced to be a Jame Bond style spy. #movie #spy

#OtD 8 Jan 2003 two train drivers from Motherwell, Scotland, refused to drive a train full of ammunition for UK forces in the Gulf to the Glen Douglas NATO military base. It was a protest against the threat of invading Iraq. More on the anti-war movt: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1079...

Australia today is a library day. Your local library are one of the few free to visit public places that have air-conditioning, so grab the kids and head there! And today is the perfect time to meet them and see if they would like to come with you. #auspol #heatwave #australia

Collapses are as complex as beginnings.

Its been pretty funny watching people who don't know much about Brigitte Bardot besides photos, post RIPs about her and then in real time learn about Brigitte Bardot. #filmhistory #googlethings

If you're a progressive politician in charge of the government and you lose to bad guys, it's your fault. Maybe some others too but 100% If you had power to change laws, funding and help people, and you didn't do enough of it for people to vote for you, it's your fault. #auspol #usapol #politics

Xmas Shopping

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Watching Muppet Family Christmas and then re-discovering how the Ripped from TV version someone uploaded to YouTube ends: youtu.be/Bi9qSKZuvC4?... #doomedbaby

I wish more of our cities were named after scientists. Is it just Darwin, or are there more? #darwin #australia #cities

Remember the International Brigades.

Chess should be in the Olympics right? #chess #Olympic

Shopping for presents? If you live far from your friend, send them a book so you can talk about it when they finish. If you live in the same town as your friend, buy them a ticket to join you for the theatre. In the end, spending more time with you is probably what they really enjoy. #Xmas
