Fancy wordsman. Blue-tick-haver from the before-times, when it didn’t mean “obvious fraud and/or clown”. Same name at the blue sky.

A quarter of a century ago we lost a giant of Australian politics. And I’d say barely a day has passed when I haven’t been reminded of his legacy. Don Dunstan believed in the possibility and potential of South Australia, and so do I.

Watching #Nemesis and look, it’s glorious to see a bunch of people admitting things they furiously denied back when I wrote a perky little book about the Abbott government for @AllenAndUnwin… https://t.co/C6fyE13YYn

This was always going to happen. “Optus” is a contraction of “Octopuses do tech support for us”, which they championed as such a shrewd wages saving until they elected a moray eel as CFO who has now devoured 80% of their on-site team. Just like Twitter.

After hearing the new single I can confirm: I like the early Beatles stuff better.

We mourn. We seethe. We cry. We rage. We look after each other. We take the time that we need. And then we pick ourselves up, we come back together, and we continue the work. We continue the work.

Occasionally I recall how as a tween I’d cut out reviews of albums (which I largely hadn’t heard) to stick around my bedroom door until there was a weird collage spreading over the wall like a word-cancer. I see how that foreshadowed my career and wonder why no one intervened.

I’ve never agreed with Trump before, but honestly, if he wants to be electrocuted in a sinking boat then who am I to deny him?

Slurring his words, Trump starts riffing about how he would rather be electrocuted to death than be eaten by a shark.

I know I’m being unfair. They and Qantas also cancelled plenty of our flights in between too.

Seven years ago @Jetstar cancelled our flight at the last minute, completely bollocksing a time-dependent holiday. And I never realised how sentimental they were, since they chose to mark the anniversary by doing it again, even as the cab to the airport pulled into our street.

Finally, SOMEONE is getting their just desserts for breaching the APS Code of Conduct. Breach it at your peril, citizens, for my standards are high, inflexible, and often arbitrary. Especially about what constitutes a fair price for Sparks LPs. https://t.co/zW97vhlUv1

The US rapper has weighed in on Australia's upcoming Voice to Parliament referendum, saying it is time for the country to "repair the breach".

“Hey, it’s the boss of New Jersey, it’s big Tony S / His crew are all goofballs, his family’s a mess! / He’ll pop you in the head, then he’ll dump you in the drink / Then he’ll go and talk his feelings out with Melfi, his shrink!”

Also, to retroactively apply this to all series throughout history, because I think The Sopranos would be really enlivened if every episode started with a jaunty Randy Newman number explaining the show.

Look, I appreciate that there are bigger and more urgent things to legislate, but could we please prioritise laws forcing all TV shows to reinstitute 80s-style themes that explain the premise of the show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-style?
