This is a message for Cricket Australia while they consider selling out the BBL. #bbl #cricket

About time.

Top 5 Gigs in no particular order: Arcade Fire at the Forum in Melbourne (2006?) Ausmusic Day at the National Tennis Centre in Melbourne (87?) - Nick Barker, Big Pig, Johnny Diesel, Icehouse Any of the 3 U2 tours at Docklands G Flip at The Forum in 24 Jaguar Jonze at The Corner Hotel in 22

Best defence. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social

Complete luck that my family holiday in Japan included 2 nights in #Hakone. Nothing to do with reading @adharanand.bsky.social's brilliant The Way of the Runner. My 2026 Hakone #Ekiden cap from the Hakone Ekiden Museum is also just a lucky find at the end of a pirate ship cruise.

AI Haters are going to hate, but we just had a video chat with a Japanese doctor where AI translation software ensured she understood the symptoms, we understood her diagnosis, and we clearly understand the requirements to pick up a prescription tomorrow in Tokyo. #AI can be used for good.

Heres me just hoping a sporting body will knock back the fool's gold offered by private equity. Privatisation = ticket prices up, number of venues down, merchandise prices up, free to air games down. It's never in the best interest of the fans. #cricket #cricketaustralia #bbl

‘Yes, he smoked and he drank, but how many more people in their eighties and nineties still smoke and drink a lot more than dad?’ These people make it harder and harder for satirists.

Yesterday I saw a man who's title was "Volcanic Activity Monitoring Manager" and I'm yet to think of a cooler job title.

In Japan you can sail in a pirate ship on a lake that I'm pretty sure used to be a volcano, and look at one of the most iconic mountains in the world whilst eating cheesecake and drinking coffee.

If you see this, post something you saved because it’s funny.

Cancelling my September holiday plans. #afl #bombers

The US sure is a land of contrasts. #artemis #wtf

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

For walking directions, #googlemaps should have a "scenic" option. Just walked from Kyoto station to our hotel, and was directed along some back streets, instead of a slightly longer route past the Hōkan-ji Pagoda.

2014 me vs me now

Genuinely surprised at how awesome Universal Studios Japan was. 10 hours gone in the blink of an eye.

Artemis II today.

First experience in "The Gap" and I swear the men's clothing range would double as an invisibility cloak.

2026 just keeps on giving.

C'mon Bombers! One more week!

MY GOD LEBRON!!!

“By naming the film The Mandalorian And Grogu, Disney is leaving money on the table from consumers who have no idea who Grogu is but would immediately take out their phones and buy a ticket for any movie of any genre with ‘Baby Yoda’ in its title,” said report author Heather Flynn

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Just like during COVID, Australia should be extending our generosity to our Pacific Island neighbours. #AUSPOL

Who actually writes all this? Surely it isn't The President?

Why do the same posts show up in "Following" and "Discover". Is it to discover the posts you scroll past? #bluesky

Gee, you'd have to be pretty one-eyed to be critical of the Government's overall handling of the Iranian crisis. We can quibble about certain aspects, but fair play so far.

Quote posting my own post after episode 12, no notes. #thepitt

#Essendon is struggling on many levels, but how's this for a landing page to buy tickets? You need 20/20 vision and a 65" monitor Can't be good for anyone slightly impaired. Also, the links don't take you to a booking page - just to ticketmaster and you have to search from there #AFL #Essendonfc

The Vikings solved the Straits of Hormuz bottleneck hundreds of years ago. I don't know how big oil tankers are, but surely this can scale. #oilcrisis #roro #thestraitsaredire

With all due respect to the DJs, I can't be the only person enjoying #triplej during the strike as they just play wall to wall music. #abcstrike #JJJ

Watching #thepitt and @ladylanasa.bsky.social is just brilliant. She exudes empathy, weariness, happiness, wisdom in every scene. Hard to believe she hasn't worked in the hospital all her life. In a stellar cast, she is outstanding.

Stopped on the way home from work and bought milk and bananas from the greengrocer. Arrived home and realised we only have one egg. The 21st Century, the tech revolution, AI. It's all been for nothing until you can solve this problem. #AI #FIRSTWORLDPROBLEMS

Well, sometimes the better team on the night does not win. #matildas

Where are all the One Nation voters? Big difference between social media comments and a secret ballot. #auspol #savotes

Whoa. Japan can play. That was a goal. Straight back into it, #Matildas!

I work in logistics, and am doing some work for a medtech company. I just dumped a bunch of data into #Gemini to help with analysis, and it has warned me: "This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or a diagnosis, consult a professional." #AI

Ah, well, apparently 2026 can get worse

It’s never about protecting children. It’s about stealing your personal and internet data in order to protect the technofascist state they’re building.
