Wow, America is now selling entire cities in Australian supermarkets

Cover for Until the Red Leaves Fall by Alli Parker

Just finished Until the Red Leaves Fall by the brilliant @alliparkerwriter.bsky.social, a moving story about storytelling, authenticity, secrets, of Australia's hideous WWII internment camps wrapped in a ripping yarn of the 1950s theatre scene. Bravo! #booksky #AussieAuthor

I certainly don't begrudge Scar for spoiling my run #Hottest100

2 for 2 so far, also locking in Never Tear Us Apart #Hottest100

My #10 pick a bit belated: Never Tear Us Apart

#13

It feels like the top 10 in the #Hottest100 gonna include:
Long Way To The Top
Flame Trees
Khe Sahn
Somebody That I Used To Know
Don't Dream It's Over
My Happiness
How To Make Gravy
Buy Me A Pony
The Worst Person Alive
and one other...

Kinda hoped The Angels were #1 in the #Hottest100 just because the key lyric was contributed by some rando in the crowd

When I said "drain the swamp" I was referring to Swamp B

Me, standing in a kitchen in a grey jumper, holding a large white coffee cup and a broken handle. Black text on the cup reads PROJECT 2020, with the O being replaced by a red coronavirus.

Went to shoot a toast to The Project in my favourite cup. Knocked it over and broke the handle off. In tribute, I guess.

It's the Godfather 3 of global mass destruction

I just knew they wouldn't leave us hanging at World War II

I'm currently having a grammar crisis that's almost the exact opposite: "couple" - does it actually make more sense for it not to have the "of"? You wouldn't say "two of sheep". Yet the use of "a couple" without the "of" always triggers my Americanisation-of-language gag reflex.

The Project's Difference Engine - Warwick Holt - Media Empire As the curtain closes on 16 years of The Project, I look back on my own 8 years of delivering news differently.

Sad to hear my friends and former colleagues who found out this week that they lost their jobs with the cancellation of The Project. I was there for just over half of its 16 year lifespan, and worked with so many lovely folks with a huge range of skills and talents. Here's what it was like.

Wild to be in @nightwatchman.bsky.social two weeks in a row... this time by name. Thanks Glenn, hopefully you will quote this blurt in next week's edition and we can continue this dance in perpetuity.

Or I may be sadly wrong

My Milestones - Warwick Holt - Media Empire My entire creative career, right back to my long-forgotten teenage years, is now available on a new site called Milestones Page.

I'm rapt to have been chosen as one of the creative folks to launch Milestones Page, a site that allows creatives to bring together everything they've done into one schmick-looking web page. Almost like an entire Media Empire...

Thanks! I too was a profound 17-year-old.

I love this so much. Shocked and delighted to see my parable of the wise man and the fool from the FOUL Manifesto (as reprinted in the FOUL newsletter) make it to the hallowed pages of your diary. Quite the honour.

Leader-wise, the Coalition just couldn't support different-sex marriage #auspol

We are going to see some world-record-setting barrel-scraping for the shadow ministry now #auspol

Yet another position for the Minister for Everything

Very Ted. But also unnervingly like a clone of Scott Morrison.

Someone reboot Antony!

seems like the ABC results computer is frozen still @ 4.9% counted where there's been 11.2% #ausvotes #auspol

Sadly it's true, I was handing out for the Greens in Deakin today and the HTV for the Reps said Vote 1 Amy Mills "then number the other boxes from 2 to 8 in the order of your choice". Very disappointing.

Mine for Deakin... and Dickson 🤞🤞
