One of my fàvourite Op shop scores of last year. This is a rare and brilliant Aussie #80s album. At once traditional folk, yet quite modern/timeless. Cathie O'Sullivan worked some magic on this. You can find it on YT and streaming. Check it out. #vinyl #nowspinning

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.
They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

An Australian coin from before WW1 - but minted in the UK due to the Australuan mint not priducing enough to meet demand.

Well this is very cool! A 164 year old coin (token) issued in 1862 to celebrate one David Jones' new premisis in Ballarat.
Just found it amongst some old coins.

So Littleproud finally says the quiet part out loud - he can't work with Sussan as leader. Either the Liberals decide to go it alone with Sussan, or a manly man steps in to reunite the teams. I predict Sussan will soon be free to enjoy a relaxing winter in her Gold Coast property 🤷♀️ #auspol

Having read the draft of the Australian government's new "hate" legislation, the scope it gives the government of the day to restrict civil society is massive. It's very clear that it could be used to outlaw a Palestine Action-style organisation www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...
Hate laws to pass after Labor and Liberal deal
The Liberal Party struck an agreement with Labor to tighten the scope of a bill to ban hate groups, but the position of the Nationals is unclear.

This is the biggest, dumbest and most infantile tantrum in human history. What a legacy to carve out for yourself. A petulant manbaby.
In a letter to multiple European ambassadors today, President Trump says that because Norway failed to give him a Nobel Peace Prize, “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”
The letter goes on to demand “complete and total control of Greenland.”

We’ve all heard and read about the family that was flash banged and tear gassed in their car but most of us haven’t seen the video footage from that night.
You can hear others yelling “There’s kids in that car”.
