Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

I need all of my British friends to see this.

This boy has learnt that handsome, beautiful and gorgeous all refer to him. No one taught him

#sotd Dirty Rice by BORNTOSTANDOUT. It does actually smell ricey, a bit smokey cloudey. I like, interesting without being overwhelming #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Squid by Zoologist. I tried this one specifcally as I didn't think it would smell musky - it doesn't. It smells like Penguin without the muskyness and more oceanic freshness but still a little bit funky. I still prefer Penguin. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

Renmark in South Australia reached 49.6C and had 67km/h wind gusts.

#sotd Tiger by Zoologist. Its got a familiar musky under note, like what I remember from Koala or Penguin, but warm quite spicy top notes. I have a few more samples from Zoologist to try, I hope they are not all musky under note with different top notes #fragrancesky #perfumesky

hi #EverythingOpen friends 👋 (a brief thread 🧵) **I am currently looking for a new role in the cyber security genre** 🎉 I've just posted my info on the #EO2026 **Jobs BoF** page on the wiki (I'm not publishing the link, if you're here you know where to find it 😜) #boost4reach pls! (1/2)

I’m enjoying the Behinds the Lines exhibition at the Museum of Australian Democracy. Especially the ones those are quite relevant at the moment

Enjoying an overview of the Australasian Inter-Service Incident Management System from @aduckismyfiend.bsky.social. Getting people to collaborate effectively in an emergency is hard! #everythingopen #eo2026

I’m glad that I’m currently on a train with very few options to change direction

Just a boy standing in front a of a graph saying if you're going to do a pie chart, please don't do it in this stupid way

Was going to launch this at Adelaide - but will now be Canberra in March. I suck at promotion, but it’s open for pre order at wherever you get your books (and you can ask your library for it too) 🩷

#sotd Southern Bloom by Goldfields and Banks. I just don't like this one. Nothing offensive, its just is a bland indistinct floral. The Goldfields and Banks samples I have are not the freshest, but I do remember not being impressed by this one when they were fresh #fragrancesky #perfumesky

This is how I found out. This is how it should be.

#sotd Blue Cyprus by Goldfields and Banks. This one feels a bit blankd, a bit sweet, a bit aquatic but just not much that interests me #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Cockatiel by Zoologist. Musky and powdery. The musk is similar to Penguin and Koala, but overall it feels more dry and sweet. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

Oh my god she uploaded a slow motion video and it's amazing. He's just like me fr running as best he can and still going backwards over and over!

Thredbo.

Important first aid tip here.

#sotd Sienna Brume by Mihan Aromatics. This one is a bit of anodd one. Sweet top notes then an almost funkiness like some sort of tropical fruit. I'm not sure what I think of it #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Bull's Blood by Imaginary Authors. This is a very strong one. It is reminiscent of blood, but without it being metallic. It is spicy, floral and warm. Even the colour is red. I find it too distracting to actually wear. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

finally, we're living through precedented times

My favourite photos from each month of 2025. January: I was lucky enough to be on a boat on the harbour for NYE. Brilliant views

#sotd You or Someone like you by D'Etat Libre D'Orange. Zesty orange, mint, very fresh, but mellows into something a bit deeper. I really love this one. It is something I would wear daily. Slightly disappointed that there is no wanky description to go along with it

#sotd Petrichor Plains by Mihan Aromatics. Aquatic with burnt electric smell, but also sweet. Quite subtle which is a nice change with how strong Koala was yesterday

#sotd Koala by Zoologist. Deep musky, tree notes but I wouldn't say eucalyptus. Smells nothing like an actual koala, it does remind me a it of Zoologist's Penguin

#sotf Silver Musk by Nasmatto. Smokey, musky and slightly metallic. I like, but seems a bit one note

Excited for this new 2026 annual planner, a purchase which will completely transform my habits and personality.

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

What do we want? - "Social cohesion!" When do we want it? - "Just after we finish booing our political opponents at a memorial service!" That one might need a bit more work.

After hearing harrowing stories of abuse against young Nepalese women and girls, Port Macquarie man Ross Nancarrow wanted to help.

I kinda love it. It reminds me when I read animal farm when I was 11 and had no idea of the actual context

Excuse me, sir, have you seen the LIGHT OF OUR STAR POURING FORTH THROUGH THE BRANCHES?

You’re absolutely right — you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure.
