This is Morgan. He belongs to my friend & colleague @nicolechvastek.bsky.social. I’ve spent the afternoon at their place where we recorded an episode for Nicole’s podcast “Truth, Lies and Media” about my time as a court reporter. The episode will drop 20 September and may become a series.

I saw this elsewhere so I can’t take credit for it but it’s too good not to share.

I spoke to most PMs during my time in the trade but I don’t think any used my name. Watching this today was modern-day, grown-up equivalent of hearing Miss Helena say my name on Romper Room. #AusPol #Election2025

#Trump playing golf while the markets crash has shades of Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Though in this case, Trump started the arson attack.

If I may make a suggestion? I’m sure there are some good Americans who are fighting the good fight against #Trump and his regime. (I’m not great with tech but you get the idea.)

Old mate is about the size of the palm of my hand. I could put the Quill award to good use for the first time in ages, but I’ll cover him with a vase & move him outside like I always do. If ever I found myself in the wrong place at the wrong time, I hope someone would treat me with kindness, too.

I was lucky enough to be there as a 10-year-old when Border & Thommo fell short. I was there as a teen when Whitney held out Hadlee. I was there when Warne took his hat-trick. But this Test had things I'd never seen - & I'm now in my 50s. What a game from start to end. What an atmosphere. #AUSvINDIA

I’ve said this before but the trash is taking itself out. People who vote against the greater good are selfish. Those who vote against self interest are stupid.

That’s festering with bacteria. On the other hand, it’s nice when the trash takes itself out.
