Oh dear God. *sudden realisation in bed* I was in a car accident with an Audi last Friday. Four rings. Hit from behind. I have the fifth ring. Sweet Jesus, Clan Murray. THE FIVE RINGS OF CLAN MURRAY 😱

"dont" 😂

Totally agree. I’m also very partial to Bannockbane, which is a generic trade tartan. A Bannockbane scarf made by the House of Bruar was given to me as a gift.

Belatedly realizing that the wave of boutique beard oils were a way of marketing fragrances to a new and likely less discerning segment of the market. On one hand, it worked on me. On the other, their success wasn't sustainable because the worst place to wear a fragrance is directly under your nose

Most people think that one is obliged to wear their clan tartan, but I’d wear a universal tartan (Flower of Scotland, Scotland the Brave), a state/regional tartan (California, New York, Donegal, Galway), or a heritage tartan (Filipino American, Galicia) because the Hamilton tartan looks bloodied.

While women appointed to the Order of the Garter are generally installed as “Lady”, in 1994 when appointed by her mother, Princess Anne requested she be installed as a “Knight”, so she would share the same rank as her brothers. To the consternation of many, Queen Elizabeth II agreed.

Grumpy old fool is at Perth domestic airport, about to catch his flight to Sydney & eventually to Wollongong, where I can meet my new grandie, dear Brooklyn 🥰 & hold her big brother, Zayne 🥰 again. Hoping it’s a good flight 🤞. Enjoy your Sunday, no matter how you’re spending it, guys ❤️😊.

Dear America, there is more to Australia than Sydney. Also i know we're an island, but you realise we're the same size landmass as your country, right? Folks in Perth cant just pop over to Sydney for an interview. Its a really, really long walk.

God help and protect us in this white supremacist country.

Y’all, my family just came home, and told me uniformed men are stopping cars nearby the car wash and asking people for ID. Roads are blocked. And the streets are being sweeped. I think ICE is in Stockton now. 😭

I suppose I can drop into Perth to say hello to some relatives. 👋

I worked with Josh back at Wilmer - a good person and a good lawyer. A loss to DoJ (or at least DoJ ought to see it that way…)

Joshua Salzman, who had risen to the role of Assistant Director, DOJ Civil Appellate Staff, in his nearly 11 years at DOJ, left the Justice Department last week. Salzman is a Harvard Law graduate and former Selya clerk, who left WilmerHale for DOJ in 2014. One of the notices of withdrawal:

Now that I've finished 'A Place to Call Home' AKA Australian Period Trauma, I'm watching season one of 'Mystery Road: Origin.' I WAS waiting to watch season one until season two was available, but I've been waiting since 2023... #MilesofMasterpiece

The President has surrounded himself with stooges and sycophants who enable his worst, most lawless impulses. That makes all of us less safe.

There’s a piece about tonight’s episode of Killer Kings (in which I featured) here: www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-r... #killerkings #henryviii @historyuk.bsky.social

I still reckon we should brute force a Eurovision win by sending Dami Im every year.

I'll tell ye one thing lads. Microsoft Word was not built to transcribe the Togher accent

Heh. 😈

I’ll miss you, former PM Chris Hipkins! It was swell and heaps of fun. 😭 Sir Ashley Bloomingfield too (who attended Scots College). Farewell, darlings! We can’t have everything we want, can we? Oh woe!
