Do these people not know how to buy actual sex toys

From a family that became famous during covid, another poignant musical reaction here- bsky.app/profile/mars...

As a young lawyer I only ever got into trouble for NOT taking notes …

Photo link pls !

Cassidy was much better at ignoring the PR, and opening up the debate on what really was going on under the headlines - and then Mike Bowers would come up with an image like the attached …

Careful what you wish for - the real beneficiary of this self inflicted disaster will be one notion, with Hanson in contention for PM. Whilst contemptible, that will not be funny …

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Single frame. Waterfront, beach, notionally Bondi. A woman with long grey hair in white dress, catching the breeze blowing offshore, leans towards the water to propel a small floating candle into the water, holding another in preparation, following a small flotilla of same, numbering 15 in total. A man in shorts and shirt stands by her side holding the empty tray.

For the victims.

Interesting to note that Dame Bashirs Lebanese heritage has been omitted from most of the memorials I have seen. It is people like Dame Bashir who contribute to a harmonious multicultural society.

It's not that complicated @albomp.bsky.social

oh shit💩😈😂 Release the Epstein-files!

“Courage” he said
And pointed to the land …

Dangerously close to common sense there possum …

A fullsome heartfelt apology from Peter Malinauskas would also be helpful methinks ….

Grass roots.

Perhaps the group that has withdrawn should create their own festival outside of Adelaide and have Randa Abdel-Fattah as guest of honour and principal speaker.

Much loved by a former US ambassador - boosted US / Australian relations for the better methinks …

Dozens of writers boycott Adelaide festival after it dumps pro-Palestine academic Randa Abdel-Fattah Miles Franklin winner Michelle de Kretser among more than 24 people who have pulled out of annual writers’ festival to protest Abdel-Fattah’s axing

Apologies if this has already been covered, but why is “cultural sensitivity” not actionable racial discrimination?
See - www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Try the prose of a Gideon Haigh or a Geoff Lemon - they know their craft ….

Webster seriously deserves to have played more tests this series #Ashes

The better RC’s sometimes get close to the truth eg Robodebt. They are valuable resources to those that come after us as part of the historical record. The fault I believe lies with the politicians lacking the intestinal fortitude to implement their recommendations.

It is a common misconception, but Oliver Cromwell did not actually ban Die Hard from being a Christmas movie during the 1650s.

This 'Aussie Christmas tree' photo is doing the rounds again - usually without attribution.
It was taken by Layn Simpson of Gympie - in his backyard.
An excellent snap.
I have an invitation to visit next time I'm in Gympie so I'll look forward to that.
You can find Layn on Instagram. Worth a follow.

Nathan Lyon exposes tourists’ flaws and eases into Australia’s record books Off-spinner and Pat Cummins looked as if they had never been away as the hosts’ attack proved too hot to handle For Nathan Lyon it had been a case of wait and wait and wait. It was 6 July this year when he took a return catch from Jayden Seales, wrapping up the second Test against West Indies in Grenada with his career worth 562 Test wickets. Right behind Glenn McGrath’s 563, Lyon might have anticipated a week before moving to second place on the all-time Australian list, an off-spinner of modest flair and self-belief sitting behind the market leader in both those traits, Shane Warne. Instead, Lyon was left out in Jamaica, spitting plantain chips even as Australia’s four quicks humbled West Indies for 143 and 27. That meant four and a half more months until the next Test, the start of the Ashes in Perth. Never mind, he could pass McGrath in front of a home crowd. Nope. Two overs in the first innings, none in the second, England folding twice too quickly to need a spinner. Then to Brisbane, an angry Lyon left out for four quicks again. Continue reading...

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you

Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

Man Haron Monis - Wikipedia

intelligence services are not always intelligent; with the benefit of hindsight, read the incredible history of Man Haron Monis in Wikipedia – how he was let out on bail with his security history is a bitter lesson that doesn’t seem to have been learnt. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Har...

I’m really glad Carol sent that message to the sky; I was really over that endless recorded message - if the writers wanted to add verisimilitude / more viewer annoyance they could have added … “ your call is important to us …”

Omg this is amazing. I love it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5 stars!
