Really excited that the RBA has worked out how to lower oil prices by forcing Australians to pay more on their loans. That’ll learn them!

A woman in a floral shirt wears a blue tie with a pattern of polar bears on it.

I had meetings today so I thought this tie might pass for normal. It is very long and has both blond and shadow polar bears on it. No-one looked too closely.

Medal with the words "MVP Backyard Ultra Last One Standing" I was not in fact the last one standing.

#medalmonday

MVP was once again an amazing event.
A great bunch of people to run with

Huge thanks to my crew who thought it would be fun to spend the night sitting in a park

I run 33 KMs at a backyard ultra, while aiming for 46. @headfreak.bsky.social ran a rather ridiculous 80kms. Our friend and crew member Skip made a video about it.

How about a cat in a hat?

She does. And it is the best.

Upending the you-know-what: the Hottest 100 and Mountain Culture Voting is now open for the 18th GABS Hottest 100, and Mountain Culture — having placed #1 for the past three years running — recently launched their latest campaign, this time with a Ted Lasso them…

New post up on Beer Diary — some thoughts the recent history of Australia's annual Hottest 100 Beers survey, and Mountain Culture, the brewery who have dominated it while rapidly evolving and at the same time seeming stuck in their own mythic past.

Maybe we should have opened with him too?

This Starc lad seems alright. #ashes

A white woman wears a very bright, wide tie made of a light cotton material.

I wanted something bright and happy to cheer up this Monday. I think this tie was homemade, it's quite a light fabric and no interfacing was used. I feel like it looks a bit like something a clown would wear. 👔

Pretty flowers that look they were left in the sun too long. 👔

A woman in a colourful knitted vest wears a blue tie with a small Paisley print. Half the Paisley pattern has weird ruffles around the edges.

Today's tie is what happens when Paisley meets diseased.

A woman in a light purple shirt and cardigan wears an aggressively floral patterned turquoise red and navy tie.

Sometimes I want #badtiemonday to be pretty, but I don't always get what I want!

One of the most satisfying things about preferential voting I reckon.

The whole thing seems designed to increase anti-Semitism. But then I guess, for the hard core zionists, making life in the diaspora untenable is kinda the point

A tie. It's bad. If you can't see it, it's probably for the best

There's a lot going on with this one

A woman wears a wide brown tie with a bright blue diagonal stripe and then stripes made of faded boxes. The other direction has a satin stripe too.

Stripes, but in two directions and also fading boxes. #badtiemonday 👔

I just wear it for the articles

A torso wearing a red tie with random squares of flowers, which look they may have grown on a cheese that got lost in the back of a fridge It's not a good tie

Flowers or mould? You be the judge

A woman wears a pink shirt with a tie as described in the text. Some of the stripes are the exact same shade of pink as the shirt.

Just like last week, this week's #badtiemonday features uneven stripes. I particularly like / loath the black wiggles in the widest stripe.

A woman wears a wide tie. The tie has diagonal stripes, thin red, thick in white, light grey and dark grey.

The stripes on this make me feel slightly I'll. We can talk about the width later.

A woman wearing a tie with a variety of diagonal stripes. It looks bad in the photo and worse in real life.

This feels like the designer's manager said "make a tie with stripes" and the designer thought 'I hate my job'.

A man's torso wearing a very thin tie. Mostly grey with some diagonal stripes

The only label on the tie proudly states "MADE IN N.Z"

When the cost of living goes up, the width of ties comes down.
NZ must be really proud of this one

Oh god, now I can hear it playing in my head

Anti greens election material saying "Greens say cocaine should be available like alcohol"

Don't threaten me with a good time.

You really should go
