This was supposed to be my dinner last night — lamb kofta rissoles. I think the hospital needs to learn something about presentation.

Totally agree.
No one in this household gives a stuff that @albomp.bsky.social has not had a meeting with Donald Trump.
Trump is so unpredictable and stupid it’s probably a good thing really.

Funny and yet horrifically true summing up. Do watch; they’re very good at what they do.

Season 3 of ‘The Bear’ was a big wank, but Season 4 (just started on Disney+) is right back on form.

This poll result is kind of astonishing — a 12 point swing towards Labor. What is Malinauskas doing that other premiers need to know? Thankyou @pollbludger.bsky.social

Walid Aly and Greg Sheridan were so interesting on Insiders this morning, I can see the potential for a new ABC show along the lines of ‘Point-Counterpoint’ or ‘Head to Head’, to replace Q&A.

Sad new: John Shakespeare, my long time friend and colleague at the Sydney Morning Herald, who had retired after 39 years at the paper, died peacefully at home last night with his wife and son by his side. He was unwaveringly gracious and sanguine in the face of his prognosis, and loved by so many.

Yay, okra is back in the greengrocer. And don’t worry — it’s not the kind that makes you fart. This is a new genetically modified version they call “Okrah Wind-free”.

Lesley Gore is praised for being ahead of her time in the song ‘You Don’t Own Me’. She was somewhat less enlightened in ‘Judy’s Turn To Cry’.
