Here’s my short report on enjoying S Pendlebury’s 433rd game. Like a Monet, or a Debussy. Go well. eregnans.substack.com/p/afl-round-...

RIP Neale Daniher. So much to admire.

Verlaine's poem "Clair de Lune" inspired Debussy to compose has piano work of the same name. I think it's pretty clear he was writing about a future S Pendlebury. "Your soul is like a landscape fantasy, Where masks and bergamasks, in charming wise...

It’s only midday and today is already the warmest day of the year so far 🌡️ The heat is set to stick around through the bank holiday weekend across much of England and Wales and temperatures are set to exceed 30°C in the coming days ☀️

Bottom two relegated each year would keep this interesting. Keep the season interesting, too. Like in the amateurs. #aflTigersDons

Hi all - I'm on the look out for critical thinking. Has anyone seen some lately? It used to be reasonably common. Like the koala. Now endangered. Sing out if you spot some. Give it some space. Encouragement. Daylight.

The Endarkenment. pretty sure we're right in the thick of it.

Nothing says “regeneration” quite like wheeling out Tony Abbott. 🦖 Can’t blame him for dreaming, but ladies… it might be time to #putoutyourironingboard.

There is going to be a LOT of bullshit about trusts. So let's keep our eye on the ball. Bugger all people use them. But millionaires do and they get a LOT of income through them And they do that because they can avoid paying tax.

Zohranist Mamdanism may not be your cup of tea but it's hard to argue he's not doing stuff. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

well if this past 200 years is anything to go by, I would rather live in a Principles-Based Society than a Rules-Based Society, hands-down. Crooks find ways to subvert rules. Much harder with principles.

Coastal erosion and recession was one of the priority hazards in the Australian first National Climate Risk Assessment. These types of impacts can be expected to grow more common and more severe www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

1. Observe, 2. Notice, 3. Choose a response. These three have become my golden stars for navigating emotions and interactions with other humans. So great. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Go well. ❤️ eregnans.substack.com/p/days-to-li...

Those who are best off should be paying more tax as a proportion than those of more modest income. That includes baby boomers.

A thousand times yes to finding love letters on the inside pages of second-hand books - like this at the Camperdown op shop. Sunday.
