Murray is making Penny look good. That's quite an achievement...

Federal government rules in favour of Macquarie Harbour salmon farms Environmental groups had previously lodged a reconsideration request over a 2012 decision to allow for the expansion of salmon farming, over concerns for its impact on the endangered Maugean skate.

Murray Watt a Clown , now minister for Salmon Farming AND new Gasfields….. joke Minister , joke government…. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Happy birthday.

I consulted my shaman, and she said you're going to have an awesome year.

During lockdown, I watched MAFS and The Batchelor, and probably the stupidest thing was the Twitter community acting as if the only reason to be online was to get a date. It was almost surreal.

(The shows met my low expectations, too 😀)

Scottish and Norwegian smoked salmon can be bought at fine food merchants.

Aldi actually sells frozen Norwegian Salmon and a decent fishmonger will sell fresh wild Atlantic salmon.

No need to reward destruction or Murray Watt...

No, he's a robust fellow. My wife and I are regulars at the local vet and they did plenty of tests.

I bought her this t shirt in honour of that moment though.

About a month after we adopted him, a rat got inside and he tried to be it's friend...until the rat bit him.

He's been getting revenge ever since. 😀

Ratboy often vanishes under the house in day long hunts for rats and rabbits and comes out covered in cobwebs.

It is nesting season out here, so he is confined inside for a few months. But normally, he could relate.

Is anyone else watching Andor and wondering if Dendra is based on Janet?

(Although Pru could have written this too, I guess...)

Victoria could save nearly $500m over 10 years by scrapping greyhound racing, estimates show Exclusive: Parliamentary Budget Office analysis shows any loss of revenue from betting would be offset by lower government spending

RACING TO COST VICTORIA $451.6m 💸

"A policy costing by the Parliamentary Budget Office... estimates the government would save $451.6m between 2025-26 and 2035-36 if it stopped subsidising greyhound racing and closed the industry."

Every day, more and more people wake up in the morning and start their day by asking WWCD (what would Crowbar do).

You got this, mate, whatever it is.

Ratboy reminds me that it is 3.30 and sitting around all day and staring out the window should be rewarded with early dinner.

Climate protesters to dress up as neo-Nazis, in new strategy to avoid being hassled by police. Outstanding commentary from @theshovel.bsky.social. #auspol #nswpol #ClimateAction

When I get hamster brain at night, I design cities in my head.

Last night's effort was a sort of Aberdeen-Coruscant hybrid on the Yorke Peninsula. I drifted off before the air corridor between Kaldor City and Adelaide was established, but got a few hours sleep.

Take care.

Idoru by William Gibson is one of the best books I have ever read...

...and I'll just leave this here...

I ended up being profoundly irritated by Andy's long rambling allegorical speeches that always ended in something incoherent like "...but you didn't introduce the lemon to the wallaby".

But it was an ok season. Pretty good engagement on Blue Sky that built up. There will be more eXiles in 2026.

Well done, Laura. You made an awesome dessert garden. A well-deserved victory.

I hope they give Callum's wife plenty of pee breaks. Walking around that preg in public... total respect.

Did anyone else look for Jock in a kilt then go "oh..."?

Think I'll have a snifter in his honour.

While I'm no fan of JulieB, I've experienced academia politics first hand. It is pretty vicious, so I suspect there are layers of agendas here.

Bravo Peter Hatcher. Telling it like it is. 👇👇👇

No one saw that coming...

What's the average daily calorie count in statehood recognition?

My father in law has done the cryptic crossword in the Herald Sun every day for about 50 years.

He skims the rest of the paper - he's an ALP rusty, so the editorials never resonate. But the habit is there.

Hehehe, "weaponised incompetency". Wish I'd thought of that phrase at my last job.

Glad you're OK. Here's a pic of my dogs basking in today's morning sun.

Take care.

Lovely speech from Jamue.

Wonder if Callum is being paid to throw the semi. I doubt he'd make an error like that with the roo.

Tashilaan kukur gaasht for dinner served with potato gems (well, I didn't have any chips, shut up).

My lips and tongue are numb from the Chili and the house smells awesome. Bring on the service challenge (finally).
