Just add googly eyes One day, much to the horror of my family, I found myself bored and armed with a packet of googly eyes. Monster googly eyes to be precise in all sorts of colours. As I wondered about the house makin…

The Point Live: Gas, politics and the coming budget. All the day's events, live Welcome to a special edition of The Point Live, as we cover off the first day of the Senate’s Select Committee on the Taxation of Gas Resources, as well as take a look at what is shaping up in the bud...

Make no mistake - the gas industry know the govt is going to have to do something. So right now it is lobbying like all hell to get a tweak to the PRRT to re-label it a "windfall profits tax".

The govt will claim a win and the gas industry will carry on taking the piss.

Something @annazand.bsky.social i think would appreciate

To sing together I have always wanted to live in a musical and on two special occasions I did I find spontaneous singing so moving and exhilarating. Whether it is the football fans swarming the streets after the ga…

If i may be so bold I think @saltymactavish.bsky.social might like this one. Might know a Kooka

Kooka Kooka, an old friend, was a sparrow of a man. Tiny, frail and friendly. A face of many warm and worn wrinkles describing a man who looked much older then his years. He was an artist with superb tec…

Oh this is going to keep me chuckling for days

White sedan with four dudes in it smoking their faces off

The way the boys were petrified to roll down the window and then looked at me like I was some kind of weed angel. I wish you all could've seen it.

This is the best!

I used to live around the corner from a big high school in Seattle. One year on 4/20 a crew of four dudes were hotboxing their white sedan so I brought them Sprites and Doritos and I hope they still think of me as fondly as I think of them.

France should build another Statue of Liberty that's 100 feet taller.

I was in love with this film

I will write a blog post just for better- spoiler the grease movie fotonovel is possibly the best thing ever

This is a picture of a brown bookshelf packed toght wth books and art and craft projects, puppets, curiosities and a big basket of trinkets. Beside it is a large stack of recipes books

This is not a bookshelf though it does have books on it. This is a shelf for wonder and curiosity.

In our pub if someone caught eye contact with you from the back of the crowd and indicated two with their fingers. Then two pints of Guinness would be settled by the time they reached the front, waiting for the last pull

I love this thread MJ

We have these ideas of art-making as a process of refining mechanical practice, getting good at skills over time. We make bad things, then good things. But, it’s nonsense. A child making art for the first time makes as much connection as someone making their thousandth work. There is no failure.

Lot of people discussing this with the idea of failing faster. I would put it to you that failure doesn’t actually have to exist at all in this conception. One of the great mistakes of the AI brouhaha is the belief that art is good because of its craft or content. It is good because it connects us.

Thanks to everyone who came to see me at Comedy Festival! If you missed out, we’ve announced a Thornbury encore and tickets are moving for that now, too!
