My kids are watching Bluey, which I like but now everything is brecky this, brecky that. Soon they’ll be in their trackies at the servo, tradie brekky in hand, telling me the Voiceless Referendum was a stitch-up, the Nats are cactus, and we should’ve backed Keating on the republic.

hello!! I know everyone is busy/the news remains bad, but if I may distract for a moment? There's a man named Ander Louis from the Yarra Valley whose sincere passion project is translating War & Peace into Bogan Australian. He's done Books 1 & 2. This is not a spoof. www.amazon.com/dp/108730656...

Neil deGrasse Tyson busts through the wall like Kool-Aid Man ready to point out the folly of my superstition. I accounted for this and placed the pit accordingly. He will agree to change his behaviour before he is released.
