One of my favourite photos is one of my old family home in Sydney taken by a Googlemobile in 2007 as it shows my late dad getting something from the back seat of his car. I have recently discovered that someone struck the same pose as my dad for a Googlemobile in 2024. Coincidental or intentional? πŸ€”

Saw Tina Arena at Sydney’s State Theatre tonight. She’s a fantastic performer but sadly she’s now completely cooked. Not only is she a rabid antivaxxer but she also believes that our skies are being poisoned and even questions if Bill Gates has found a way to speed up time 😳

Just stumbled across my Kontiki European tour photo from 1991. 11 countries in 31 days - and lots of partying. I’m crouching in front at the far right. Any other Kontiki photos out there?

Has anyone else noticed that since the US election Twitter seems to no longer be the putrid MAGA swamp it became during the lead up? Non MAGA’s appear to have regained some of their volume. Weird eh πŸ€”
