Glorious day for some interstate cricket in Kingston. Tassie looking dominant. Ludicrously good cricket for free admission.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Goodness me, I stayed up late reading and it’s already Partially Muscled Skeleton Screaming by the Perimeter Fence Day. Hope you’ve all been good this year!

The room is almost all elephant. Almost none of it isn’t. Pretty much solid elephant. So there’s no room to talk about it. -Kay Ryan, “The Elephant in the Room” #everynightapoem

I find myself saying "AZIZ! LIGHT!" when flicking on a switch in the early evening. My children have no idea what I'm talking about, but I hope one day they will understand.

It will financially cripple Tasmania, but hey, let's debate it and ignore the experts! We love shiny things and the AFL said we must. 🤦‍♂️ "The Tasmanian Planning Commission (TPC) recommended against proceeding on a range of planning and financial grounds." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Exhibit A

It's cloudy, but still a thumping Aurora Australis visible from Southern Tasmania. Probably the second strongest I've ever seen.

Reinstalled Kayo for the #WBBL and #BBL seasons and it remains the least chill app. Want to check the score on the down low? Ding, ding!

My entire timeline rn.

🤞for tonight in #Hobart

Interesting low snowbow* on #Hobart's kunanyi right now. *I don't know what this should be called.

Gough raised unemployment benefits to their highest level relative to poverty - then Fraser (and his treasurer John Howard) fucked it up as soon as they could. Hawke/Keating repaired some of the damage... then Howard fucked it up for good thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Call it what it is, a luxury vehicle, and tax it like one. Too many dickheads in Brussels getting a tax exemption for owning one and calling it a work vehicle when it's a mid life crises machine. They are a menace on the streets and are driven by fragile manchildren.

The bumper says 'rugged working man'. But the cargo bed says ‘cosplay builder with soft hands’. Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

football’s all like gimme that coconut i want it it’s beautiful but tennis is all like fuck this stupid lemon i hate it

Danni Wyatt-Hodge turns on the fireworks! 🎆 90 (52) to launch her WBBL campaign in style 😍 Thunder had no answers! ⚡️ #WBBL11 #cricket #WBBL #danniwyatthodge #sydneythunderwomen #hobarthurricaneswomen

Loving these middle overs from the Hurricanes. They're looking well positioned. 🤞 #WBBL

Nice alignment on this one.

Tasmania once criminalised people for being gay or for cross-dressing. Yesterday Tasmania's Parliament finally passed laws to erase those convictions and offer redress for the harm caused. This is justice decades overdue.

ICYMI- yesterday's #Mamdani #USpol cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com (may contain relevance to UK and Aus pol as well)

So I seem to recall hearing once that certain monofluorinated PAH compounds (ie 1-anthracene or 1-naphthalene positions) were carcinogenic (more-so than either the parent compounds or the chloro-derivatives). However I can seem to find a literature source for this. Does anyone know about this?

Big win at QUT! 🎉   This didn’t happen because management had a change of heart. It happened because we acted collectively. Join NTEU for better workplaces and better universities today: nteu.au/join

Turns out my replacement werewolf note taker has a YouTube channel. They're my Lycan sub scribe.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Butter. On the radio. And maybe on your kitchen bench.

The googly eyes are good but the final form is even better.

A bit of an #outreach win today - orders from Flinders Island, a remote island off the coast of Tasmania, for both a Crystal Explorer Kit (for their primary students) and an Elements Set (for their secondary students)! #elementsets #crystallography #ozchem #BraggYourPattern

Two of my favourite things have been joined together in an unholy union. It makes me uncomfortable.

Another entry to the *nightmare-coins-that-really-shouldn't-feature-teeth* series. This one of Benedict XVI.

Its seriously fucked up that the hospitals in Tasmania are so understaffed that my girlfriend had to wait 5 hours to get help for a potentially life threatening issue... but our government wants to build a fucking football stadium instead of funding healthcare. #cityofhobart #hobart #auspol

Delivering on an election promise by handing over my 2008-2025 election night tie to the Museum of Australian Democracy, Old Parliament House, Canberra. When I paid $20 for it in 2008, never thought it would end up in a museum.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Balmy Hobart evening for a T20 cricket match. Let's go Australia! #AusVInd

Not sure how long Wonder Woman will keep her identity secret when her name is on her collar.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, I live on the second floor, I live upstairs from you, yes I think you’ve seen me before

Solidarity with #Tasmanian public school teachers striking this week and this morning in #Hobart for better pay and conditions. They have an unbelievably tough job and deserve every cent (and more!) they can get. The government needs to reassess its priorities for our kids' futures (ie no stadium!).

If you love long baseball games, may I introduce you to the joys of five day test match cricket.

It feels quite the triumph to search through an archive and find a document unknown to search and genAI.

Not sure how the stats compare to prior years, but there is a lovely mix of #OzChem -ists on this list.
