He was interviewed on Australian 60 Minutes and the journalist just destroyed him, mostly with the use of very handsome eyebrows.
Hope you paid attention as you were driving.
I’m pretty sure Tony‘s presence also backed-in his decision 60 years ago to stop being Catholic.😂
I’ll grant him this - he turned my now 83-year old father from being a life-long LNP voter into a Green. And Tony Abbot convinced him it was the right decision.
I need my dad puns to be more labored.

A newborn sperm whale is held up by its family as it takes its first breath in our #PictureOfTheWeek.
The entire birth was captured on camera off the coast of Dominica, giving researchers new insight into sperm whale behavior.

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.
Came here to say this. We have exported one top quality K. Urban. Maybe there's a limit?
Much better than my strut today.
[alt text by NASA] The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse on April 6, 2026, is photographed by one of the cameras on the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. Credit: NASA
Whoa 🤯
The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

hadn't seen this one on bsky yet so I'm posting it myself. the faint glow you can see on the moon is Earthshine, light reflecting up from the Earths surface and onto the moon, illuminating the dark side during the eclipse. the dot on the left of the image is Venus. just insane.
My dad was bought up to believe he was a persecuted Catholic, backed up by the childhood belief that the underpass at his local train station was “PRESBYTERIANS ONLY”. 12 year-old him later realised it was “PEDESTRIANS’… He’s an atheist now.

I love Razerback's sheer 1980's-ness and Russell Mulcahy's singular vision to make a movie about a monster pig with a Duran Duran music video aesthetic. My only criticism is it needed more venetian blinds.
Don't forget the blood donor centre isn't far away, so if you don't feel drained enough...
And the biggest compo payout for Robodebt victims is ... drumroll ... Scott Morrison!
Vics get $1k, we pick up Scomo's $461k legal bill although *he knew*

Amy from Australian punk rock band, 'Amyl and the Sniffers' flipping off Anthony, the blue wiggle from The Wiggles.
This is the most Australian thing I have seen all week and it's a mood
That mug dates you!
Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.
What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?
It's the Pope in 1982.
#Auspol rather hypocritical since Sussssan was probably into the Dead Kennedys
If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.
*cracks knuckles*
okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public?
now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.
That's three of your "five a day", surely.
It's true. I was *sure* everyone would realise when we introduced the platypus, but no. We're just that convincing.
Time for some good news! The human world can work together to solve environmental challenges, just like the Montreal Protocol & elimination of CFCs started in the 1980s. By 2035, the ozone “hole” may be completely closed all year long! This Government thanks you all!
