the most important thing they never tell you about aging is that falling down hurts more

I decided tonight would be better with a manhattan 🍸

Thanks, Meals!

Clockwise from 9 o’clock: a cup and saucer with tea, a cream blue-spotted teapot, a small jug of milk, a tea strainer, and a small plate decorated with blue goldfish with a mini danish pastry with preserved cherries in the middle

Afternoon tea. Happy Sunday!

A plate of tomato rice, stir-fried beef and sliced salad

A flat white coffee in a blue cup and saucer with a lovely big crema top

Saturday lunch treats at my favourite Vietnamese cafe. ☕️ 🍛

It’s a negroni

Happy Friday. It’s a negroni.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Housing affordability is a gender issue!

Had a dream in which I did a thread of the names of all of Australia’s owl species in emoji form so stuff it, I may as well do that IRL

Beautiful, Amelia. Thank you

Vic Premier Jacinta Allan has unloaded on Angus Taylor and his new & “extreme” racist migration policy saying it’s “straight out of the Donald Trump playbook” & a sign he is “too weak to stand up to Pauline Hanson and One Nation”🔥 #auspol

Trump as Jesus. He posted this on Truth Social

How are we to take seriously a religious movement that is furious about Trump’s blasphemous AI jesus post but totally chill with all the pedophilia, all the genocide, all the fascism, all the extra judicial murders, all the ecocide, all the rape and blackmail?

Exceptional

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Jane Hume confirms the Liberals new
migration policy will include a ‘Safe Country list’ for nations like “Israel” - bcoz apparently ppl from the IDF have a higher standard than the Palestinians they like to murder? 🙄 #auspol

I don't think it's well recognised how much airtime the fossil fuel industry has gotten in traditional media because they're considered "experts" on fossil fuels, and because they have formal, jargony knowledge of oil and gas, that means they *must* be unbiased and rational and neutral somehow

I am once again asking

Before today I hadn’t considered how weak the Pope has been on crime

Chart showing share price change since the start of Iran War: ASX200: -2.6% Santos: +20.0% Woodside: +23.2%

Just checking in to see how Santos and Woodside are doing. They must be gutted that JD Vance couldn't get a deal done. Gutted.

Sometimes that’s all we can ask for.

Pre-Guillotinism

Did it?

Another excellent edition with @amyremeikis.bsky.social, Stephen Long & SundayShot hosts

Don't miss Mark Kempster eloquently describing his personal experiences & advocacy for meaningful gambling reforms & the way gambling vested interests & their political enablers undermined advocates like him

🖤🤍🐦

It definitely feels pretty fucking worrying that Trump openly threatened to enact a massive, potentially nuclear genocide and erase an entire civilisation and there hasn't been a loud, unending and universal chorus of unequivocal condemnation and resistance from western leaders

We cannot celebrate tinkering when it comes to gambling reform. Labor’s response falls tragically short | David Pocock What the Albanese government is proposing is not evidence-based, and it will not reverse the normalisation of gambling among young people

The only explanation for @albomp.bsky.social not dealing properly with the harm gambling advertising does (including, and especially to children) is that he’s hostage to vested interests. He lacks the courage and leadership to stop this trade in misery. #auspol

Let us know when it escalates to ‘mongrel’.

Stagflation is already happening, a leading economist warns With stagflation risks rising, what lessons could the treasurer learn from the past?

A Greens' aged care inquiry has discovered there's no legal basis for Labor removing human oversight of algorithmic assessments, and the department is exploring options to reinstate clinical override.

Letting the algorithm rip has been a disaster. Put humans back in charge.

They're currently working on taking a picture of the crew from a camera on the solar array, through the capsule windows, which is very cool
