Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

The three times I’ve been in a Centrelink office, I have overheard people come in with variations of this opening statement: “I tried to do this online but…”
I feel sorry for the staff because some people are walking in already angry/frustrated because the website is so naff.
What about Doug Anthony? At least he inspired the Allstars.
Littleproud would be lucky to inspire a 4th rate tribute band called Littleproud Mary.
He probably realises his last stint gave him some of the best sleep periods he could get.

My thesis on modern US politics in one skeet.
Where do I collect my PhD?
You did more than that. You created a scenario that gave you a reason to feel superior then tried to compel me to defend that scenario. That’s everything that’s wrong with American politics, in one post and one reply.
An absolute must read for Australians 👇🏽

When asked if the govt’s new Apprenticeship program was “worthwhile”, Jacinta Price said
“Throwing more taxpayer money to boost trades isn’t the answer”
Doesn’t want taxpayers funding trades, but happy to slug them for hubby to attend CPAC events? Really disgraceful. #auspol

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
With profits in December having a jump and wages not, this is what the latest graph of wages and profits since 2001 looks like
Last week we said wages were not driving inflation. Today the latest data shows wages were up 0.9% in the Dec 2025 quarter. Profits were up... 6.4% and non-mining profits were up 5.5%.
Gee what a coincidence that happened at the same time inflation spiked

Interestingly, Bush called a criminal act by non-government individuals an act of war and used it as an excuse to invade two countries.
Why are we spending $130 million on a Royal Commission into antisemitism, but nothing to tackle Islamophobia or any other form of racism? Do some lives matter more than others? #auspol

My boss wrote a piece in support of migration – and migrants.
It’s good. Makes me proud.

At some point conservative politicians in Australia will have to face a reckoning for encouraging white supremacism and ignorant rage.

And every one of the owners of the biggest platforms has allowed or ensured the severe enshittification of its service, & in many cases an increase in the abuse and disrespect of women & the endangerment of children. Boy billionaires, making the world worse for everyone else as fast as they can.
