Well, this afternoon would've been a good time to watch the cricket. Alas, I'll have to find another cast-iron excuse to do nothing. #Ashes

Granddaughter is visiting and forgot her bunny so she asked for my daughter’s (her mother’s) old teddy bear. We retrieved him from a cupboard to discover that his eyes are worn, as if he has cataracts. The teddy is about 41 years old, so this is entirely feasible.

Yep. Keep capitulating to this monster. Don't worry, he'll change for you. You can change him. He's only 80, a convicted felon, and an adjudicated rapist with 67 sex-crime allegations on him. Just keep rolling over. If you roll over enough maybe we can have the whole fucking world in flames by 2028.

John Laws is dead. One of Australia's most successful broadcasters. As a teenager I rang his show. We argued for 10mins on air. He hung up on me with the words "you're obviously a loser in life & going nowhere. Goodbye."

Can we all try to drag one more person away from the site owned by a white supremacist who does Nazi salutes? I know we shouldn’t have to, it’s basic ethics, but here we are.

Just watched ‘A House of Dynamite’ on Netflix. Loved the narrative structure. Hated the ending.
