Australia's illegal tobacco problem has jumped from tragedy to farce We can now conclude that the strategy of taxing and banning nicotine addiction out of existence is a complete failure. The result is organised crime making about $10 billion a year in revenue.

Interesting article by @alankohler.bsky.social. Whatever happens from here, looks like it’ll be good for smokers

I wonder if the ads are old and weird enough for a VHS (DVR) Revue

I recorded it

Ah yes the 2009 New Year’s Eve Special

Me: “Show fewer notifications like this”
Instagram: *Continues showing just as many notifications like this*

The phone booth scene at the end of ‘Waking Ned Devine’. One of the biggest explosions of cheering and laughter I’ve ever experienced in a cinema.

No I don’t want to “bid” for an upgrade to business class. When did booking a flight become an auction? Just give it to me or FO.

Bloody dark. Would be like making a reference to Virginia Tech today

Kent State lol!

I hope if there's any advertising of the Liam Neeson Naked Gun during the #TVWeekLogies tonight, they just recycle this chat between Bert and Leslie Nielsen instead.

So you’re saying we need to all start having 6-8 children and lift immigration pronto?

If there’s one thing Sydney breakfast radio listeners love, it’s Melbourne.

At least she’ll be able to defend herself with that big knife

Tom Lehrer, Musical Satirist With a Dark Streak, Dies at 97

I grew up with Tom Lehrer on the turntable. If you called his house in Cambridge, you always got a funny recording. Amazing man. If you don’t know him, start with the Varican Rag. Then try National Brotherhood Week.
RIP good sir.

That time @davidmgreen.bsky.social called ‘Today Tonight’ with a few story suggestions #prank

There’s something so primal about clambering through seaweed and over slippery submerged rocks up onto the land. I can see why our ancestors did it.

That Magnus Ferrell is so hot right now #AllsångpåSkansen

Lagom

…further than it looks or I just chicken out. There’s also a lot of boat traffic. But this time I’ve been practicing swimming along the shore and the water was an almost unprecedented 25°C. I figured If I’m not doing it today I’m never doing it. So I did it and it was awesome.

Me standing on a rock on a distant island, raising my arms in triumph with the water I just swam across in the foreground

A boy looks at a boat in the water with the island in the distance

Me swimming with my head out of the water, doing a stupid grin

I finally swam to the island across the bay. For years, we’ve come to Sweden from Australia and that island looks so close (only 120m according to the map) & I want to do it but then the water is too cold or the current is too strong or I don’t even get half way and realise it’s actually…

This makes me sad. But at least there are still lots of 6 second prank videos and podcasts where 2 guys talk for 3 and a half hours about their favourite prank videos

How bad is moving furniture?

Except how to make a decent flat white

Dalarö, Sweden

I’m not quite sure what’s going on

Wild boars right outside our window!
