I was just thinking;
The Proclaimers walked 500 miles (and then another 500 miles).
Vanessa Carlton walked 1000 miles.
The Pretenders did 2000 miles.
No one has done 4000 miles yet.

If press gallery journos were honest:

"We love to be players, and pretend we are not"
"Many of us have had our views shaped by junkets to Israel"
"When I write shit like 'The Jewish Australian community feels...', I am quoting self-appointed representatives, who really represent a foreign power."
Christ this is just gallery bullshit: "Much has been said of Albanese's inability to assume the natural role of a prime minister as "national mourner in chief" in the wake of a crisis"

Much has been said by us in the gallery, therefore it must be important.
The prime minister is undoubtedly facing tough conversations behind closed doors, but until the public gets to witness the scrutiny he will never satisfy his critics.

I still can't believe I did what I did on the 6th & 7th December.
SHOOTING FLAMES, Fire Dancing and a Military Tank scene all on the one weekend. It is like a fever dream.

The film editing process has been fun.
These are pre-colourisation shots btw.

I get some of the best moments when working (from the 16/12).
These 2 King Parrots were beautiful and friendly.

Almost 6 years to the day I left the corporate world. Thank goodness that I did.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

The kittens do fine with this version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

It still makes me laugh after all these years making it.

Beautifully put, looking forward to the avalanche of racist hatemongering that runs completely counter to Ahmed al Ahmed's heroic actions

Good to see it getting more funding. The changes are also correct. Rare time that I agree with the Federal Government. Quite smart in giving people more self sufficently with their power and putting less strain on the power network.

Another $5 billion tipped into Cheaper Home Batteries, but rebates slashed for bigger systems
Albanese government doubles down on Cheaper Home Batteries, tipping new funding into the red-hot scheme and adjusting its settings to make it go further.

If you transported today's Liberals to the 1960s when these projects were being developed, all of them would have opposed City Loop, West Gate Bridge, and the power stations.

Engenuity at its finest. It sticks up for me however briefly.

It like the universe wants to prevent me from getting my work done. But I get it done out of spite.

My cinematographer for my current music videos is way too modest.
I heard that he did a trek to Mongolia, but I didn't know it ended up being a documentary screened in the Melbourne International Film Festival and other places internationally.

Despite it looking like Mordor outside during parts of the day I still managed to produce 24 kWh of power.

Summer skies (LOL).

A lot of people hate this, but it is great for my garden.

Imagine showing a petrol engine to someone who had only known electric vehicles, and trying to convince them to switch to petrol. No-one would choose the dirty, noisy, less efficient, more expensive vehicle. This isn't 1910, hostage to gender insecurity. We can just choose the better tech.

Whenever the Greens or independents want anything to change the media screams demanding in-depth analysis from them on how the policy would work then dismisses them even if they have that analysis

Pauline goes ‘look at me, I have no policy but I am racist’ and the media is like ‘let’s hear her out’

63 seems too young these days. A fine bass player.
Also sad that his wife Imelda died of cancer 2 years ago.

Finally in the country, the Farizon Supervan.
Potentially one step closer to having an all electric gardening business next year. No more petrol engines.
I would be able to recharge my batteries from the van as it has vehicle to load (V2L).

I'm knew that I wasn't the only one who has these thoughts.
