The acerbically creative rage he could bring to this time - and how deeply our souls need a Vimes or Weatherwax to help us bear it

Granny and Sam are my moral yardstick. If they would approve, it is ok. If they would disapprove, it isn't ok. If they would argue, I need to think about it. Terry Pratchett made me a better person and continues to do so.

I couldn’t read for a very long time. Longer than most children. It just couldn’t happen. It impacted my education, and caused my parents the sort of stress that parents feel when something isn’t right and we end up blaming ourselves. Then one day, at roughly 10 years old, if clicked. Thread:

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

GNU Terry Pratchett.

Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.

Absolutely. Fucking. Perfect.

Prediction: Mark Carney leads a (slimmest of slim) majority government after the 13th of April.

Watching the rest of the country who’ve made their entire personality about hating Victoria, specifically Melbourne, cope and seethe at Melbourne being named the best city in the world is a funny addition to the day.

So when we say the racism is bad…

This godforsaken idiot piece of shit.

200 days of over 12,000 steps. 🫡

Trying to get my head around the Anti-Corruption Commission's argument that a corruption hearing of a former prime minister is somehow not in the public interest

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

"At least I used paper straws and recycled my toothbrush" people say sarcastically while sharing images of the oil refineries in the Middle East burning after being attacked. Yes, at least you've done that. And keep doing that. Then DON'T VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO DO THIS!

Working From Home laws in Victoria being an election issue just as petrol prices are going to drastically increase due to an international war will go well for one side of the debate.

If you ignore that this has happened as a result of the request of gulf allies seeking assistance with intercepting drones that are now part of modern warfare, sure.

I might be quiet for a bit because my social media accounts have been receiving increased hate for being so outspoken about Indigenous issues, and some of them, particularly on Instagram, have been threatening in nature. I'm considering reporting them to the police. Take care. Don't be racist.

Let’s be fair, it’s also a platform for creating, distributing and selling child sexual abuse material.

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

Centre Indigenous women, on International Women's Day, and every other day.

The human race would probably achieve world peace if Michael Rapaport shut the fuck up.

There’s no way of knowing because the primaries are so far away, but I get the feeling Gavin Newsom is peaking early (if he is thinking of running). I suspect it isn’t going to be any of the names talked about by most pundits at the moment, I think it’ll be Jon Ossoff or someone like him.

Happy to know that our Mayor and First Lady are safe, but horrified that there was such a disturbing threat of violence outside their residence. Vile displays of Islamophobia will never be tolerated in our city.

Having dinner at the Yack Hotel and there’s a Ukrainian wedding (or the reception for it) happening at the same. Beautiful display of love and culture. I love this multicultural country of ours!

Birdman videos are beautiful.

Spring and Autumn > Winter > Summer.

Israel blatantly has the same ambitions for the Middle East as Russia has for Europe: to expand its territory to create Greater Isreal, like Putin wants the USSR territories back under Russian control. Israel is showing off about it, and the world is just letting them.

Happy Friday. Don’t skip school.

He is quite handsome.

And this, kids, is why we need Oxford commas…

Good for Ed Miliband - who’s also doing far more than the Torygraph, the Tories or Farage to insulate the UK from volatile fossil fuel prices, lately driven up by Trump’s war with Iran bsky.app/profile/jack...

I'm assuming the Telegraph editors meant the headline to be deeply anti-Miliband even though almost everyone else is going to read it and think "Go Ed!"

Reports coming out of the UK confirming that Ed Miliband is still based.

I’ve overheard several conversations today about how much and how quickly petrol prices are going up in the area. Inevitably someone in the conversation brings out the good old Australian sarcasm: “thanks Trump.”

Two of my favourite Kiwis are talking about the rumour that PM Chris Luxon is going to resign or be replaced due to poor polling.

Aotearoa, should I get the popcorn ready?

When they said “liberate the people of Iran” they meant liberate them from life.

‘Liberal Party leader Chris Min- huh? What’s that? Labor leader? Oh…’

Not really. This is the first situation in a very long time that I’ve seen Starmer have his head screwed on properly. He refused the let the U.S. use British bases to launch bombers. Two British bases were hit when Iran started attacking U.S. allies. Britain is now acting to protect its bases.

Krysten Ritter back as Jessica Jones. Matthew Lillard joining the cast. And Daredevil beating up the Marvel Cinematic Universe equivalent of ICE - a private army created by a fat rich man from New York, to target specific people, or do what he wants them to do. I love this. I need this.

If you like things a bit heavier, Ezekiel Ox has done some amazing work with Mammal, Full Scale and Ox and The Fury ... my favourite Mammal song :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRV...

Great thread of some amazing Indigenous artists

I agree with several of these.

Here’s a list of my some of, not all, my favourite Indigenous singers/songwriters/bands. Would love to see people share and celebrate Culture, Language and Music of their country’s First Nations peoples! Post them in the replies. If you're an Indigenous musician, share your work there too!

I do enjoy, as a proud unionist, when men like this of the union movement find themselves in an (alleged) bother. Women dominated industry unions are growing and effective. Time these men gave it away. We’ve got this. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Hey Queensland Government: fuck ya!

And 165 non-artificial schoolchildren were blown up by all this advanced and precise targeting. Congrats to everyone involved on achieving this brave new world.
