When I’m struggling to write, I often go back to this David Lynch quote. ‘I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath’

So Sarah Macdonald, successful and erudite, has been replaced by a middle aged white man. That SUCKS @abcaustralia.bsky.social Freaking awful! Sack the white male managers ! And they had the hide to tell us that she had to go because - diversity. Bloody hell I am hating on #ABC radio at the moment.

Nannas still having trouble in understanding why #auspol can pass a bill to protect children from social media but won’t enact legislation that protects the health and wellbeing of young people from climate change. Good luck ⬇️ and thanks from us! adutyofcare.davidpocock.com.au/prominent_vo...

‘Australian is reporting on ‘leaked CEC polling’ that shows regional voters support renewable energy rather than nuclear power due to concerns about environmental impacts & the promise of economic opportunities from large-scale wind & solar projects.’ Well, that’s inconvenient 🥔#auspol #AusVotes25

Microsoft 365 subscribers are being told their annual fee is increasing by 30%. Do not pay that price. It's an upsell to a new Microsoft 365 Copilot AI product. Select 'Cancel your subscription', only then will you see an option to retain your current subscription as Microsoft 365 Classic. Do it

Today is the 13th anniversary of buying a treeless parcel of land. Today we have tens of thousands of trees, a wetland, orchards and veggie garden that supplies most of our food, flower gardens, rare flora and fauna and of course our sheep. It's been fun and an honour. I'm very grateful.

We're only ten days into 2025 & already 40 people in aged care homes have died from COVID. The answer is so clear: clean the air, test staff & give them paid sick leave, test visitors before entry, enforce mask wearing. None of this is rocket science ... We just don't seem to care enough 🤷

If, like me, you weren't too pleased about the steep hike in your Microsoft 365 subscription this year, you can avoid it by switching back to 'Classic' (without Copilot). Thanks Nick Gelling at Consumer Magazine for the tip! www.consumer.org.nz/articles/you...

When independents are in Parliament, governments can’t take any vote for granted. They must negotiate, consult, and collaborate. That leads to better policies and outcomes that serve all Australians — not just party insiders.
