If this brilliant piece she penned for Vanity Fair called Shame & Survival back in 2014 is anything to go by, it should be fabulous.

This is mesmerising.

First, it’s Trump’s reaction.

But the family members are the most mesmerising of all.

Total Succession vibes.

Although I’m embarrassed to say I had no idea who Albert Jacka was until Pete started work on this, his latest book - the story of our first (and many say greatest-ever) Victoria Cross recipient.

Jacka’s heroism during WW1 will take your breath away.

Farewell to a true Aussie icon, the exquisite Maggie Tabberer.
Model, muse, journalist, fashion editor, designer, businesswoman, author, mum, grandmother and an absolute trailblazer for Australian women.
All done with such elegance, grace and wit.
Vale Maggie.
You were one of a kind.

The case for keeping kids out of Elon Musk's 'town square' 'Self-awareness is an essential part of the human condition, but you don’t want it turning up too early or it risks becoming self-consciousness.'

“That’s the trick with rearing children. You’ve got to keep them as innocent as possible without bedding in a naiveté that will render them crushed once they find out sunshine and lollipops give them skin cancer and diabetes.”

Superb piece by dad/comedian Shaun Micallef.

The snow was made from asbestos.

Wicked…

Excellent work! ✅ And thank you.😊

The heartbreak those two families must be going through is just unimaginable Ronni.

"It is with broken hearts we are so sad to say our beautiful girl Holly is now at peace. We find comfort and solace in knowing that Holly brought so much joy and happiness to so many people.”

The family of 19yo Holly Bowles who has tragically died after suspected methanol poisoning in Thailand.

I’m reporting nothing but the facts as they occurred this morning.
And I think you’ll find it’s spelt “to” in that sentence.
Cheers.

Sure was Adam. Played by Nicholas Hammond, who has resided in Oz for decades - NSW Southern Highlands these days. Lovely guy, and married to Aussie acting royalty, Robin Nevin.

To quote Sharon Strezlecki, “hoips”.

BREAKING: Former 2GB breakfast radio host Alan Jones has been arrested this morning at his luxury Sydney home and is currently being questioned over indecent assault allegations by NSW Police.
More to come.

She was! Loved her in Lost In Space. Penny. Possibly my first ever girl crush.❤️

Thanks. 🙏 And @peterfitz1.bsky.social is already here. Beat me by by four days. He was the one who convinced me to come on over.🤓

👏✅🥰

I did play Maria in our 3rd Class production of Sound Of Music at Campbelltown Primary School back in the day, but alas, no Lisa in the original cast. 😊

👏👏👏😂

Close-ish start Ann….but alas you are missing many cigars! :)

Aw, come on Avel! Draw back the curtains. It’s Sunday. It’s OK to relax just a little.
Perhaps some Edelweiss on the record player might help! 😉

Eldest son just texted.

“Mum, we’re doing the Saturday quiz. How many Von Trapp kids were there & what are their names?”

Seen Sound Of Music eleventy hundred times, interviewed all of them on the 50th anniversary…and bloody well got it wrong. By one! Major fail.

See how you go…and NO peeking!

“I look at the Andrew Tate message of macho culture that’s absolutely rife. Parents need to understand that someone is in the ears of our children and raising them and if it’s not us then who is it? You’ve got to be openly talking with them because if you’re not other people are.”

Briony Scott: The surprising sex talk Sydney’s most respected principal gives her students Dr Briony Scott is resigning, not retiring. But at 61, she says, she’s “more ready to hit something new than I ever have” been.

Ram Dass says, “We’re all just walking each other home.”

A fabulous interview with Briony Scott, one of the wisest women I know when it comes to parenting - especially in difficult times.

(And yes full disclosure, I am somewhat acquainted with the interviewer ;)
