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

Looking for radical festive presents of Politics & Design. #politics #protest #typography

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

Ivan's Childhood (1962).

Dear Melbourne, its time for 50c buses. #auspol #Melbourne #transit #buses

A friend of mine walking in their neighbourhood got detained and handcuffed because they didn't have their wallet with them so they couldn't prove their citizenship. Pretty weird how comfortable people are with being a "Papers Please" country. #usapol #ice #community

Of all airport's I hate Hobart the most. Maybe improve this barn before you start building more tourism infrastructure. #hobart #airports #Tasmania

Almost Dec 1 so its time for: Setting up your xmas decorations. The introduction of an asset tax and Scaling council rates based on property value. #politics #auspol

Far-right watch: the neoliberal think tank director platforming the far right & white power fans. #auspol

Pennington stating it plainly.

From my experience we should rename it the "no true goth man" fallacy because I have never a Scottish person use it but ive heard it from EBM fans my whole life. #goth #ebm

"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." -Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Great chat with @thejunglist.bsky.social for his podcast about how games can serve as a tool in rebuilding the civic layer of our communities and our relationships to each other. Matthew Farber, Marshall Ganz, Tracy Fullerton, Robert Putnam, and John Dewey all got a mention. #communityorganizer

Black Dog: The Dreams of Paul Nash - Dave McKean

The only thing keeping me awake on this train is the horrible idea of a video of me snoring in my @toughguybookclub.com shirt. #trains #transport #reading

Dear young punk band, ask a brass or wind musician from the school band to join today. Punk is always better when the instrumental lineup is not essentially the same as the Beatles (A band your granddad listened to) #punk #band #bass #woodwind

Putnam Ganz Roddenberry Henson Admiring kind people can get us to a better place. It will take longer but we all get to come.

Yes. I hate your lawn specifically. You live on the driest continent on earth. It's so weird that's what you use our small amount of water for.

Me having to work on a laptop in a hotel room over Samhain & Halloween is essentially a hate crime. So I will be doing it, listening to Bauhaus, wearing a sneer. #halloween #samhain #worklifebalance

The invisible lines of history. 1977: James Dyson creates a new style of vacuum cleaner so people can spend less time cleaning. 2025: People struggle to use the overly designed taps in every Australian airport so less people wash their hands. #inventions #dyson #Australian #airports

Do you have a job that you don't think should exist? Not like cancel it tomorrow but make it so it is not needed? #jobs #auspol #startrek

Liz McKenna laying out hard truths like usual. #communityorganizing #collective #power #politics

I traditionally hate journalists when they try to be cute instead of writing news. But this headline is a little fun. #news #auspol

Sometimes I wish I experienced less shame about my actions and words, I think it holds me back on occasion. But not no shame, I don't want to end up the young man sitting on this tram loudly saying some of the stupidest shit I've ever heard a human say. Just somewhere in between me and him. #trams

Sometimes you don't have the time for a crash out. Not even a little one as a treat.

Munya Chawawa launched a theatre club for young black men because he wants them to feel a part of theatre after never seeing anyone like him in the audience growing up. As a community organising lover, this is so simple and perfect, it's like a work of art to me. #communityorganizing #theatre

I like the gym I go to, but I wish it were open-air because then at least the rain would clean it. #gym #rain

I ran book clubs at some high schools this week, and what struck me was “When did we stop dreaming of a better future?” Most kids seemed to expect their future world would be the same as now, or worse. Not to be too Mark Fisher, but their thinking seems trapped by now. #school #youngmen #future

You will never read more balanced and rational comments as those under an article discussing the obvious findings that lowering car speeds increases safety in your neighbourhood. #Melbourne #news #urbanplanning

Are you building your unions members capacity to fight each day to prepare them for the day they need to fight or do you just send them content? They are different. #unions #organizing

Your enemies will tell you there is no point in fighting back. They tell you this to break your morale, but in so doing, they tell on themselves. They fear being stood up to, or else they would not work so hard to downplay it. If someone says fighting back doesn't matter, make it matter.

One of the most wild marketing moves of all time is somehow changing people's perception of the soft, friendly children's ice cream sandwich into the masculine, extreme af Maxibon. And it actually working. Absolut wizard shit #australia #marketing #icecream #vodka Brand slip intended

To the jacked guy at the gym casually swigging between sets from a 1.25 of Kirk's Pasito. You are wonderful, keep it up. #Australia #gym #kirks

Honestly I run on hope but it troubles me how easy it was to convince your uncle that sharing is tyranny. #drunkuncles #future #politics

Perhaps your not the cutting edge freedom fighting comedian you think you are if you have the same opinions as the person in charge of your country (and most rural grandfathers)

It's been 20 years since I first watched Battletruck. It's still wonderful. Army vs hippies movie about the Lone Ranger. m.imdb.com/title/tt0084...

I'm tired, and too busy, but overall I'm OK.

Yes, you grow an introduced water-hungry lawn on the driest continent on earth in front of your house that you never use. Well done. #auspol #australia #native
