Moving night at Seymour Centre in a show that remembers Hiroshima 80 years ago. Laughter and tears. Beautiful performances. Ends this weekend. Check it out. Remarkably, some performances are in English. Others in Japanese. Take your pick.

Amazing to hear how superficial and poorly thought out these tech gurus are when they have to make their arguments in the real world. This guy's defence of LLMs access without payment to global creativity was dismal. #ai #7.30 #atlassian #tech

Sydney Palestine protestors turned back by police on the bridge. Not sure why. Huge crowd despite the terrible weather conditions.

Sydney's dysfunctional rail system is at it yet again... The Transport Minister has so many portfolios he probably forgets the broken rail network. This problem goes back decades. And says soooo much about NSW #priorities (cars and roads).

All that's missing is the One Nation rep. Dave Schama did the unthinkable and travelled west of the CBD to fight the wonderful Sally Sitou ALP.... I wonder how these blokes explain their One Nation alliance to their constituents?

Great session volunteering for @sallysitou today. Dubious Liberal volunteers (80% under 25 males) massively outnumber all others to a level I've never seen before. Liberal material also dominates the booth 5 to 1. Money talks. Hopefully it can't buy love. Go Sally!

It's still possible to imagine this landscape, as it was home to the people of the Gweagal clan for thousands of years. Much of it is unchanged since colonisation. The 255th anniversary of the landing of Cook and Banks in Botany Bay is days away.

I've heard reactions from 100s of international tourists in #Sydney and can confirm the vast majority believe these massive ships degrade the experience of our icons - the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House and The Rocks.
Sure hope the economic windfall is worth it.

Timely release of The Correspondent - Aussie #film about the arrest and imprisonment of journalist Peter Greste in Egypt in 2013. Greste is an inspiration and a great advocate for the best work of journalists. Lots to think about as the US runs off the rails.

The lads battle it out on the pitch as temperatures soar. Reminds me of the 80s....tho back then the umpire didn't have a sponsor.

@karaswisher.bsky.social spoke at #Adelaide Writer's Week with a clarity on the global carnage wrought by the Murdochs that has eluded the Australian panels - in the city where the #newscorp cancer first took root and the country most warped by its poison.

Dear Sydney folk of yesteryear. Thank you for making it possible to savour scenes like this just metres from the city's most awful traffic hideousness (aka. Parramatta Rd Broadway). Like the daily swim that also happens here - this is very therapeutic.
