Had a great night with @brisdram.bsky.social hearing @wmarybeard.bsky.social speak in Brisbane. She drove home for me how reflecting on the ancient world can help us make greater sense of the world we live in. She’s a treasure. Thank you, Mary. From an inspired Ancient History teacher right here.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

The legendary Kerry O'Brien was asked by @lintonbesser.bsky.social's Media Watch what he would have asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had he interviewed him, rather than the sycophantic Sky News. These were his questions: #auspol

It’s surprising that Australia’s national broadcaster still isn’t on Bluesky. I rely on #ABC. Would love to see them join the platform.

@myke.social Your LinkedIn post on Leo Laporte & Twit.tv was great. Just heard David Smith on @Gruber.foo’s podcast say his website ‘PodSearch’ features transcripts of “all the best” Apple podcasts. Where’s MacBreak Weekly?! Sadly, the Apple podcast world feels like high school ‘cool group’ cliques.

@davemark.com Hi, Dave. Wondering if @jimdal1.bsky.social is Jim’s official Bluesky account. Was exciting to hear him say he was tweeting about Apple again, and although I don’t have an interest in joining back up to Twitter, hoping he might start posting here too. Loved the latest TDR ep as usual!

Hearing continual speculation on the ABC that the Liberals and Nationals might end their coalition and go separate ways. Is there any serious indication this might actually happen? #AusPol

Adam Bandt is in serious strife. With 64% of the vote counted, Labor’s Sara Witty leads by 2,899. Postal votes — likely to favour Liberals — would funnel even more preferences to Labor. Albanese might pull off the staggering: toppling two party leaders in one election

Yes, Australia! We’ve chosen hope, optimism, and fairness. Nailed it. Proud to see my electorate (Bonner) vote Labor in again after fifteen years. #AusPol

Some words from my political hero, Don Dunstan, ahead of tomorrow's Australian federal election. #democracysausage #auspol #ausvotes

The chickens are coming home to roost. Apple’s complacency, and neglect of the developer community are indefensible. Those who follow the company closely have been ringing alarm bells for years. Between the #Apple Intelligence fraud and their treatment of developers, it’s time for new leadership.

Disgusted by the booing during the Indigenous Welcome to Country at Melbourne’s ANZAC dawn service. Australia can be ugly at times. Can’t imagine what it must have felt like for Uncle Mark Brown.

How come Tim Cook gave a public apology for the #Apple Maps debacle, but hasn’t for Apple Intelligence? This has been far more egregious in my opinion.

@leolaporte.me @ihnatko.bsky.social @snell.zone Hello MacBreak Weekly legends! I wish I could tag Alex here. Could one of you show him this screenshot from Disney’s new “Light and Magic” Season 2 trailer? Could we be looking at a photo of Alex’s Mac from when he worked on Padme’s ship in Star Wars?

Albo walked away with a win after tonight’s leaders debate on the ABC. Dutton continually alleges that the PM is weak, yet admitted he’d missed the mark on a Russian airbase in Indonesia, and revealed how unprepared he is to negotiate with China and the US. Dutton was way out of his depth. #AusPol

Could we all just collectively agree that we won’t say the word ‘cooked’ anymore?

Upcoming ep preview. Emmy Award winning live TV event director #JeffMargolis worked with #MichaelJackson for decades, including on HBO’s ill-fated ‘One Night Only’ special.

I wish there was a way I could completely turn off ‘shorts’ on YouTube. Why have so many platforms wanted to try and become TikTok?

Why we're still having leaders debates on Sky News is truly mystifying. Sky's viewership is pathetically low, and its attempts at being the Fox News of Australia is embarrassing for either side of politics. #auspol

Yanks go on about our emu war. Wait until they feel the wrath of our penguins on Heard Island!

The #NintendoSwitch2 bundled with Mario Kart World is $769 in Australia. The Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition bundled with Astro Bot is $569. Craziness.

Finished #MythicQuest Season 4. Loved how it wrapped. Regarding ‘that’ moment, all I can say is… Finally! So, so heartwarming. Great TV. Really hoping for a fifth season.

Yes! It’s happening! We’re getting Phoenix for Bluesky! Thank you @phoenix.tapbots.com. Could not be happier. Perfect name, too.

#MichaelJackson’s Technical Director Brad Sundberg is returning to The MJCast for a Q&A ep, and we’d love your help! Reply to this post with questions, or send to [email protected]. We’ll sift through them and select some to ask him in the episode. Thank you. J.

@gruber.foo Is there a new episode of The Talk Show coming soon? I need my fix!

Always was, always will be.

Best notification of 2025. #silo #severance

Wow. The #Silo Season 2 finale. Just perfection. I cheered when the final scene came on. So, so happy the show is going in this direction and broadening the world out.

#RIPDavidLynch, who revolutionised filmmaking, bringing surrealism to the mainstream with masterpieces like Blue Velvet & Lost Highway. His work with #MichaelJackson in the Dangerous era showcased his artistry, merging haunting imagery with music. A pioneer of the strange and beautiful. The MJCast.

Inspiring words on innovation from the inventor of Stories, Reels, and Threads.

Watched #DunePartTwo last night. Oh man. All hail Frank Herbert, Denis Villeneuve, and everyone involved. Just wow. Haven’t been this excited for a sci-fi/fantasy film franchise in quite some time. I must see the third one in a cinema when it comes out. Thinking of starting #DuneProphecy tonight.

This week’s episode of #Silo is top tier. Why do we have to wait another week?! Tim Robbins is so deliciously evil.

Symbolism overload.

Just finished Clint Eastwood’s #Juror#2. Fantastic homage to 12 Angry Men, but also a great crime drama in its own right. Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult are top notch. And I need to watch more movies with Cedric Yarbrough. He commands the screen. 4.5 ⭐️’s.
