Justin Langer on hearing the news that McCullum has been sacked

Australian beaches don’t need nets it needs logic. Something Indigenous nations have in abundance.

Just a reminder that 50 years ago governments built homes for people and rent was 25 percent of their income and they had stability and could, if they so chose and/or had stable employment, save up to buy a house. Governments getting out of housing was a dumb mistake we’ll pay for for generations

So, I found out on Friday that my gig at the Guardian is coming to an end in late August. Needless to say I'm rather bummed by this development AND in need of a new job so if anyone's looking for a cartoonist HMU.

“Yeah Ma, I’m not loving the carpentry thing but I’m kinda killing it as an influencer…. A shirt? Yeah of course I’m wearing a shirt.”

Enough turning these animated films into live action movies. I want to see live action classics turned into animation. Gordon Gekko’s cigar exploding, turning his face black. Lawrence of Arabia imagining a sand dune as a roasted ham.

eg we never did get rid of that excess franking credits rort

I love this. Explaining medieval societies through the lens of travel advice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aSd...

One species, a surprising variety of patterns. Africa’s giraffes are even more fascinating than I realized. 🌍🦒

one purpose here is to make definitions and policies contradictory and unworkable so anything can be contested and reinterpreted, so people who are targeted by grievance campaigns can not sleep at night, so every complaint can be appealed, no file is quite closed, no matter ever really finalised.

Cartoonist Ruben Bolling has been absolutely killing it, and here's another one

holding the government to account during bushfire season by running around shouting FIRE to make sure engines turn up to wherever I'm at

This is utterly delusional. You are a shadow minister, which is a polite way of saying you are not a minister. You have no official role, let alone one that requires or entitles you to make non-emergency calls to 000 - something every Australian is told from childhood *not to do*.

One thing I would love is if, when a straight white guy “sees the light” and joins the left, he would volunteer for a community group and like knock doors for someone who’d been on the left for ages instead of immediately wanting to be the candidate. It’d be like a litmus test for if they’re serious

No shit Sherlock. If you want safe streets, you aren't going to get it with a carceral State that turns prisons into crime universities with a 90% graduation rate.

so now we get to see powerful and insatiable people feed a whole ecosystem that once reliably provided careers to creatives, entertainment to players and profits to shareholders, into the fucking furnace just to give a little more juice to a fake technology sold by charlatans that is doomed to fail

the problem with the games industry is that it makes money in a sustainable way by creating stuff that people want to pay for this is in contrast to how big capital would prefer to make money, by trying to scale fake numbers to infinity using gambler brained investors lured in by impossible claims

The good kind of IPA

I'm more impressed by the commentator making his pronunciation of "goal" last for 18 seconds -- Bill Withers would be proud

The Christian Brothers are crying poor and avoiding paying abuse survivors. They have no social licence to exist www.crikey.com.au/2026/07/03/c...

When you skipper a team that just spanked England to win a World Cup

This is not me though. It's a different guy

Guy who's rejecting his girlfriend calling him to bed because he's on Wikipedia looking up battles relevant to world cup fixtures to make a joke on here that will get three likes.

I may be politically naive, but I cannot see One Nation going from zero to 45 seats in Victoria, let alone find enough candidates to run in that many seats

hey so if you hate how Fandom wikis are bloated resource hogs i just learned you can go to "antifandom.com/whatever" and it loads a clean, ad and video-free proxy of the page

The world tries to make us feel like shit every single day Why not do whatever we can to offset that for the people we care about?

my timeline rules

the American Dream has been downsized to eating in your car while having a phone call

“Lidia Thorpe joined a campaign to stop Indigenous homes in QLD being auctioned over almost $1m in unpaid rates..State & federal govts continue to argue over who’s responsible..while 15 homes are set to be auctioned..putting dozens of families at risk of homelessness” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

If you can afford to pay for billboards that complain about the government's tax changes, you can afford the government's tax changes

now that Rinehart has a new favourite, it's funny how Jacinta Price isn't getting front page, private jet, dinner party treatment anymore. she was a useful idiot for No, now she's been discarded

I think that Louise Adler raises an important issue - see below.

Americans when the U.S. team gets a red card

AFL fans are like "has Charlie Cameron kicked a goal?"

A country obsessing about the monthly change in the price of dwellings is pretty cooked. Are you day trading your house or flat? (The long and medium term trend, where housing prices have consistently increased faster than inflation and incomes has been a disaster.)

those who can, do. those who can't, do right wing political podcasts

remember how they spent months softening up landlords for a minuscule change to their multi billion dollar publicly subsidised wealth and house hoarding rort. Yeah so do I. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

I'm always fascinated by who these people's lawyers are www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

this is sad in the short term, but I think Arkane's only long-term hope is to get out from under Microsoft

Unexpected side-effect of emailing my MP to complain about stuff: now they email me back to promote stuff

This is so fucken disgraceful. Every lawyer and retired judge who abetted this scheme is a dog. A rare case for special legislation, to reach into 'Edmund Rice Education Australia', and sell of all its shit until every survivor is paid. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Aussie Womens' team bundled India out of the World Cup Ireland men beating India 2-0 is also 🔥🔥🔥 cricket's great! what even is football

Fair dos to the NZ mens' cricket team winning in England, but if the Ashes were a 3-Test series, Australia would have won in 2023 #justsaying #notbitter #moralvictory
