The noise you hear in the background is the laughter of the gods. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
Yanis Varoufakis is being prosecuted for mentioning on a podcast that he took an ecstasy pill in Sydney after the 1989 #MardiGrasParade.
“My ridiculous prosecution must be seen within the wider, West-wide, surge of an insidious new form of fascism”
If you're judging them, you're part of the problem. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
Reminder, I am an extreme weather nerd.
I will be using #VicFires, #Heatwave and #MelbWeather to post a lot about weather extremes over the next week.
Mute if you don't care.
Also thank fuck the winds are not as bad as Black Saturday, but everything else is.
This week is going to be a bad week.
BTW, Albo, if you’re ever going to do anything meaningful with that massive majority of yours, now seems to be the time. Mandate the fluoridation of drinking water, give NACC some actual teeth, renationalise Qantas, incarcerate Scott Morrison – do it while there’s no actual opposition to notice.
I used to send a spreadsheet to the Exec Team with "Fuck Off" in the very bottom right hand cell, white text on a white cell. Nearly got caught out when my boss couldn't email it to external auditors, failing the email profanity filter. IT never worked out why it wouldn't send.
Wife is in a foul mood with me because she bought the blinds I told her not to buy, because they were too big to fit in our kitchen window. Turns out after buying them, they are too big to fit in our kitchen window.
Hubby was worried that the kids would lock themselves in the toilet, so ours has no bolt. Instead, we sing to let others know it's occupied. My husband sings Moon River, which is lovely. I sing Golden Brown by The Stranglers. Probably not what they had in mind.
Can your city really claim to be globally significant if it doesn’t have fatberg poo balls
I think it's important to understand that if everyone on Sydney's Northern Beaches were washed out into the sea then there would be a net bonus for Australia.
I work in primary care. When we hear about someone's inevitable death from dementia or chronic illness our immediate thought is generally "thank fuck for that". The sooner euthanasia is allowed, the better.

A question for fearless journos out there to put to Australia's political leaders. Why do we have > $300 billion to attempt to buy submarines but not enough $ to pay more fire fighters & support staff & to buy more urgently needed firefighting equipment, so we have sufficient resources when needed?!
here’s this letter from an allied soldier describing what he saw at the buchenwald camp after it was liberated. notable especially is the editor’s note, referring to the normalcy bias still in play at the time — and how people still disbelieved the truth and horrors of the camps due to that bias.
Kyiv is currently entirely without power and heating after today’s attack. Authorities urged people to leave the city if they can. This is a humanitarian disaster, in case anyone didn’t know
Since morning, the occupation has continued to target the Gaza Strip in all its areas.
With each new bombing, a new massacre is added to the open record of bloodshed.
And the world?
Seees, hears, counts the numbers… then continues its silence.
Silence here isn't neutrality… silence is complicity.
Seems about right. www.reddit.com/r/RedDwarf/c...
Who knew you could get a peace prize by invading a country, kidnapping its head of state, and then running a protection racket on the opposition leader to whom the prize was given?
"But what is clear is that the Board and the Premier both believe adults in Adelaide can’t be trusted to decide for themselves whether to wander over to hear the thoughts of an Australian academic of Palestinian origin, or whether to wander somewhere else."
This is a timely article, given I have been feeling uneasy about the whole 'pink test' the last few years when attending the SCG. australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-pin...
Ahead of Day 3 of the "pink test"
In 2022-23 the McGrath foundation spent about $8.8m on “foundation-funded breast care nurses”, but more than $9.1m on fundraising and marketing, and a further $2.2m on administration."

That we have food banks is a testament to the fundamental generosity and kindness of people. That we need food banks - and that governments crow jubilantly about how many we have - is a savage indictment of how broken our society is.
We had a good run
And I say this as someone who in a previous life was called into produce rolling media coverage of a sudden military event. Folks, it’s all bullshit. Rolling live coverage is bullshit. It”ll be at least 24 hours before anyone understands what’s happening, if then.
With a huge international event unfolding, obviously the best thing for you to do here in Australia is to repost all sorts of random shit that you haven’t actually read. Seriously, you cunts are the core problem here. Just go to bed and read proper news in the morning. It’s not relevant to us now.
