When I hit my thumb hard with a hammer, I shout ‘Shalailah Medhora!” Try it, it helps. #auspol #sbs

Wonder whether the 78 million who voted for T fully endorse and enjoy all the BS?

Watching ‘The Act of Killing’ about the Indonesian paramilitaries who killed communists (and whoever) with impunity. The message is ‘thugs are free men who like to do whatever they want; you just need to know how to direct them’. #Ice #wernerherzog m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Giq...

I’d die for the ones I love, but I wouldn’t do the dishes!

The double beef and bacon burger bomb just hit Eee-ran.

Serious journalists who enjoy saying ‘bunker busters bombs’ while pretending to be adults.

In this interview the brilliant writer #DennisPotter discusses why he named his terminal cancer #RupertMurdoch. #FoxNews m.youtube.com/watch?v=lnVr...

If you deport all the other dogs, you’ll just be left with German shepherds and pit bulls.

Aussie rugby’s neologism of the year: ‘Verocity’. When you run very fast and aggressively at the opposition.

Trump will make big decision on whether to wear Batman’s underpants or Superman’s cape ‘within two weeks’.

He running at full verocity. #stateoforigin

Repost of Mike’s wry bio line works better with his profile pic. Feel much the same.

Engaging interview with #LoyleCarner: www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/82d...

The #USA is not a real place anymore. It soaked too long in a bath of cheap TV: heroes, villains, guns and barbies. Or Sci-fi: It might unhinge itself from Earth and fly into space. It was a visitor all along.

#AcademicSky: no successful applicants. Broaden search: how about one axiom from the past 1500 years?

Studs Terkel on working: "Jobs are not big enough for people. It is about a search, too, for daily meaning as well as daily bread, for recognition as well as cash, for astonishment rather than torpor; in short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying."

What’s the condition with which every time you hear the word ‘synesthesia’ you feel nauseous?

I’m really into #corgis, really into them! #Bodoggodonk!

Another great woman. Depth. #SamanthaMorton open.spotify.com/episode/7G4m...

#DaveGraney winning Male Artist of the Year at Aria Awards (up against Paul Kelly & Farnsey) ‘taking the piss’ in a pink velveteen suit and extravagant wig while sincerely and heartfully thanking his collaborators. Noice. #songwriting m.youtube.com/watch?v=kUOA...

A Prequel to the Sequel. 😆

Gutting the Liberal Arts in Oz. This will move through all the Unis. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sly Stone is foundational to hiphop. At the Black Star show in Sydney Australia, Yasiin Bey and I paid tribute to Sly by doing a rendition of one of the best songs to sample him, Because I Got It Like That by the Jungle Brothers. Rest in peace Sly! #hiphopsky

Clear now they see ‘us’ as enemies. How to win against the 80 mill who voted for Herr Drumpf? Foreground industrial relations/ employee rights & background (not jettison) identity politics. To lose locks in Project 2025–not good for most identities. An opposition of corporate shills can’t win this.

📈NEW EPISODE📈 Growth is the world's greatest obsession. When it's booming, it makes everything easier. When it stagnates, everybody panics. But what exactly is it, what drives it and what does it cost us? @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social discuss ➡️ linktr.ee/originstorypodcast
