Sean Kenny

When Anthony Albanese appointed Peter Khalil as special envoy for social cohesion, the PM said Khalil would "report directly to him".

A FOI request to the PM's office uncovered zero reports (and just an email and a calendar entry) from the now-eliminated role.

controversial opinion I guess but I think $800,000aud is (much) more than enough to run a single seat campaign

My mother just got herself a new car. Extremely friendly and curious, polar opposite of her last cat

Looks like I will be back in Victoria for a few weeks very soon, keen to catch up with friends and/or mutuals while I'm down

I love watching race sports and having the final push to the finish line interrupted with ads for Bunnings

Genuinely I have hated being a big unit since testosterone really took the wheel in my early twenties but going to the gym has really let me find peace with it

Going to the gym is nice because it is the only place where people tell me they are envious of my naturally large fridge shaped body

Please don't let Israel-Premier Tech win the Tour Down Under again

The having fun bit especially

While I try not to get too wistful I am kind of missing the time in my life when I used to do drugs and have fun

Staring my 4 day weekend by doing deadlifts and split squats until I can barely keep my breakfast down. Now this is living

Always thought protein shakes were a bit cringe but coming home from work on a hot day and smashing what is essentially a milkshake is very good actually

Trying to watch the bicycle race but all they want to do is try to convince me to visit south Australia. If I want to look at dusty deforested mountains I have that right here

The answer to both of these is for me to post good but unfortunately all I know how to do at the moment is lift heavy things and eat chicken

I would like to post more on bluesky but it is still very boring here and I miss having followers

A closeup on the voucher inside the player of the match award (which looks like a KFC box) - showing that it is a $25 voucher with a 2027 expiry date

Greatest cricket league in the world

Trying a push/pull/legs split after doing upper/lower/full body split and so far I kind of hate it

This is a topic I turn to time and again but at a time when the RBA wants to see a rise in structural unemployment it just makes sense to acknowledge the part the unemployed actually play in our economy instead of pretending they are just the negative externalities of a functioning meritocracy

The appalling rate of welfare is fixed if you raise it. The only trade off is having to actually fight the right over it.

Many of the problems of social security are actually fixed by pushing obvious and existing buttons. Mutual obligations system is fixed by turning them off but instead we do pointless inquiries that lead to nothing

My year has been lonely and quiet but after years of struggle I finally feel like I have got my health to the point where I can exist in public again

All soup may as well be bog water to me. Horrible wet nonsense that only makes sense in a depression

I would argue there is very little serious thought about anything structural or ideological within the greater world of government. We are in a completely rudderless age. Bound by winds no one with any power can be bothered to learn anything about

The foundation of our society is the vibe of meritocracy, which of course has very little to do with any hard thought about merit itself

A lot of people talking about liberalism as if it was anything more than a collection of mostly conflicting norms or had any kind of meaningful relationship to its own ideological foundations

The hawks are just gorging themselves at the moment. Awful to behold

I find it hard to post with a proper amount of insanity here when I don't see enough truly terrible posts that force my brain into movement
