So, looks like the Lions did ok then. #AFL

Giving off Saddam Hussein Baath party purge vibes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_Ba...

Ps if anyone who works/ed at NACC would like to inform the public about what on earth is going on behind closed doors, hmu. God knows I’ve heard from enough people who reported to the NACC and never heard anything ever again

Sidenote: Did you know that the NACC employs over 200 people, spends over $50m per year, has 5 offices, and in over two years of operations hasn't landed a single major corruption finding?

Doesn't this guy run the #FCC?

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... Just incredible that any government could under fund an eradication program for these things. Long term cost is going to be many multiples of the cost of an eradication program.

This just in from Tomorrow Land aka Australia. Rapture in full flow. Finally, free of those kooks 😃

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

Personal observation. Low empathy people hate many things, but especially trees. Cutting down all the trees in their new home? Might be a good reason, might be a red flag.

Sunday vibes. #koala

Not so fun fact. The forest used as the "Forest moon of #Endor" in Return of the Jedi was privately owned and completely destroyed by logging shortly after filming. Cos hey, humans.

Well that was an easy decision. My personal "no Nazis policy" enforced. #CancelDisney #Disney

There's nothing new. #fascism

The little wall #spider I used to see in my bathroom every night for the last 4 months isn't there tonight. A search indicates they live 1-4 months under good conditions... I'd like to think I gave it the conditions for a ripe old spidery age. Vale, little spider

Yeah, they're cooked. Cancel Aukus.

Well here we go. Y'know what's next.

History tells us that an #EnablingAct is next. Then specific orgs outlawed. Then all other political parties. President for life will be declared. Then the military will swear a vow of allegiance to the PFL. #NYT will debate if this is a good thing or not, before deciding it is. #USA

@explaintrade.com Hi Dmitry, I'm just a guy with a phone but I'm guessing there's plenty of models used in economics and trade based on data.... So I've been trying to find any sort of analysis that takes what the US has locked itself into and gives a final date for the apocalypse. Any pointers?

Too many US journalists are impressed by Charlie Kirk's numbers. But let's not forget who he really was. www.smh.com.au/national/it-...

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... This is appalling. Actively excluding a migratory bird from its nesting site for a "festival" #auspol #wildoz #birds

There's a #Wikipedia game called "which came first?" and if you're looking for something challenging, I recommend it.

Good news everybody! The Independent Planning Commission just REFUSED the bid to restart Redbank Power Station, noting unacceptable negative impacts on native flora and fauna. Common Sense prevails! www.ipcn.nsw.gov.au/cases/restar...

Farmers can't sell soy beans Farmers can't buy machinery, fertilisers, employ people. The employees can't spend in their communities Etc Add up all the US sectors being trashed and there's an inescapable outcome ahead. They're going over the cliff and the #NYT is still both sidesing. #tariffs

It seems that an #EconomicDisaster emanating from the US is technically inevitable now. Kinda curious how various forecasters can say things like "aw, maybe 40% chance of a bit of a downturn next coupla years" when things look like violently and suddenly imploding, any second. #GFC2 #Economics

Gee, "PK", that's a roundabout way of stating one of the reasons the LNPs poll numbers are collapsing to minor party status. #auspol

Either very early or very late in the year.... Italochrysa insignis, possibly, but I'm far from an expert.

Harlequin bug. Will definitely spray you with stink if you upset it so...I didn't upset it 😁 #entomology #insects

Day 3 post wisdom teeth removal, head resembles the Goodyear blimp. 0230 local time. I'm getting quite good at calculating analgesia timings too. Anyhoo, these things are bearable when they follow a predictable path. Like most aspects of life I guess. Dipper has logged off, Molly on shift.

Jungle huntsman spider with only 5 legs. Fortunately, he/she is in my shed where there's an abundance of bugs. Hopefully we'll see the missing legs regrow soon. #spiders

Quite fascinating how much some Americans want to fight other Americans. An aside, watch any Hollywood action movie and there's *always* a sequence where the American heroes (briefly) turn on each other before tackling the main villain. Anyhoo, back to the garden in my nation of laws.

Bit surprised he's not wearing an ear bandage today.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... War crimes. Dual national murderers, enjoying killing and assuming there will be no consequence. May they all end up in the Hague or similar. #Gaza

Hey Dipper, is this bigger than your head? Well, not hard I guess 😊😋 *Possum exclusion mesh worked! #Jackfruit

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... Hmm. #auspol

Nocturnal shenanigans in the former lawn....whatcha doing down there on the ground? #UrbanBiodiversity #possums

In my shed playing ancient CDs while I work and feeling like I've gone off grid. Collect that data, google 😊

It's pretty bleak in a lot of places right now so here's a #koala mum and joey I saw this morning. One of 8 spotted in today's informal survey of the local reserve.

Shout back to that time 5 years back when I noted where things were going and a particular blue tick grifter took a moment from his pontificating to block lil old me. Anyhoo. 🍿

Geez, just had a scan through Blue sky and then various US news sites and 2 points. 1. The US media is really not fit for purpose/just a tool of the system. 2. I'm really glad I live in a different hemisphere in a country of laws. Good luck, US friends. *Attached, something not political.

I had an audience with the King of #Brisbane this morning. I appreciate his majesty's time.

Globemaster cruising around #Brisbane CBD earlier today. *Looks like the ramp is down. #C17

Meanwhile, in #Brisbane I think they were a bit lost. "Amberley's that way" "Thank you!"

I stand by the 10m year forecast.

#Brisbane, ya big bloody beautiful city, to borrow a line. Subtropical version of spring is here.

Scenario. #Trump announces at press conference he's been poisoned by Putin and gives Russia 48hrs to hand him over "or else" Putin releases pee pee tapes. Trump nukes Russia, Russia nukes everybody. Fast forward 10m years. Earth is again green and lush with zero trace of humans ever existing. 😊

The events of April 30 1945 changed the Nazi state overnight. Even the most ardent followers knew it was done. I can imagine MAGA going the same way.

US politics has hit the Brezhnev on the balcony phase. Will Dear Leader show up this week? 🍿

Returning to ABC local radio around the country this evening from 7:30pm AEST. My special guest tonight: four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune. You can listen here live: www.abc.net.au/listen/live/...

If you're of a certain age, you'll remember the is he/isn't he guessing game that would go on whenever a Kremlin leader hadn't been seen in public for days. Just saying.

Thoughts with the good folk of Victoria's Western District coast who may have been blown into the Grampians/Gariwerd and beyond overnight. Tough night for farmers and their livestock especially.
