Today we remember. We remember those who served—those who volunteered, and those who were forced to serve through conscription. We remember the lives lost, the trauma carried, the families broken, and the futures stolen.
Their courage, their endurance, and their sacrifice must never be forgotten.

Woken up this morning by a warning alarm at Rydges Australia Square. Then it was an evacuation alarm. I was about to leave the 15th floor room and head for the stairs. Then the alarm stopped. We had to guess for ourselves what to do for a few minutes, then get a false alarm message. No apology.

Do we want an Australian MAGA movement running our government? I don't think so. The Liberal Party loves Trump's America. I don't know who I'm voting for as of yet, but I know it's not The Liberal Party of Australia.

Protesting is fine. Protest outside Tesla dealerships or wherever you like. Don't destroy property. Don't set fire to cars. Don't stoop to their level. It plays right into their hands.

Chatgpt has made proving conservative liars wrong so much easier. Their hand selected quotes lacking context and plain untruths disproved in a few clicks.

It's appeasement in the Oval Office. It's not Europe in the 1930s, but it's the same plan. Give Putin what he wants and hope he doesn't want more. The Holocaust was just the next step.

Please, professional sport only happens to the absolute best. A school selling dreams is a con! Get your kids quality coaching outside of school and give them a chance of success in multiple fields. #centralcoastnsw

I do believe it is possible to agree with Grace Tame'e sentiments and disagree with her location of her protest. I think a button badge would have been a better option. However, Murdoch's power over politics is disproportionate to the average influence of a the average 90 year old.

Australian politics, argh, what a mess. However, the fact that when the Liberal Party left inflation was going up, but now the ALP have seemingly gotten it under control. What will Dutton be outraged about instead?

What ever happened to black basketball shoes? The NBA really screwed the basketball referees of the world when they started letting players wear coloured shoes instead of black/white.

Was told yesterday I am easy to spot at the gym, due to my apparel choices. Apparently wearings compression wear under your clothes is weird. As is wearing a white, or any colour other than black. Lucky I'm there for me and not for anyone else!

The right loves to claim the world is broken, but let’s get real: they've held the reins of power for most of the last decade in both the US and Australia—except for the past 3 years here and 2 years there. If the system is failing, it’s because *they* designed it to.

It's not like Aboriginal People are trying to take the entire continent back. Which, in reality, they probably deserve. Just an acknowledgement, that this was Aboriginal land and it always will be. Why is hate so strong in this country?

Why are so many Australians scared when somewhere either starts reusing its Aboriginal name or even when it's co-named? Why do people just seem to refuse to accept places already had names prior to European contact? Why is racism still a thing?

Phillip Lowe at the disgusting Mining Day party. I mean, it makes sense that instead of trying to manage inflation early, he waited until the ALP had taken power.

Just registered for a basketball referees course. First time doing one of those since, like, maybe the 90s? Definitely since the early 00s. Anyway, hoping to get the Waratah League level this season. Without refs, it's just training.
