Well done, Australia—98% of eligible voters cast their ballot last night, including so many from the most remote parts of the country. What an incredible turnout, and a testament to the hard work of the electoral workers. A moment of reflection for other democracies on their voter turnout perhaps?

Senators @davidpocock.bsky.social and @jacquilambie.bsky.social telling it like it is. Especially as a Darwin resident directly impacted by INPEX / Ichthys—enough is enough. $150 off my bill is a pisstake.

Hi Dr Wong @labmuffin.com, I’ve been following your content, especially around sunscreen for some time, and I am also an advocate for using sunscreen after growing up with ‘Slip, Slip, Slap’. Now I’m seeing an increase in anti-sunscreen sentiment, even in Australia. What’s going on? What can we do?

Good way to transfer tangible assets to the already extremely wealthy (read: Musk), while the working class get to hold the bag, convinced by the rich to buy these digital assets on the basis they are gold-backed.
This is NOT a return to the Gold Standard.

Jeremy Clarkson spitting facts about his 17 year long feud with Elon Musk and Tesla:
“I should really have sued him back, but I feared he’d call me a paedo, so instead I just waited on the river bank for his body to float past. And now it has.”

Seventeen years after that nice Mr Musk sued me, victory is mine
The Tesla boss is so touchy he filed a lawsuit when I gave him a bad review. So how will he cope now that the eco hippies who used to idolise him have turned on his cars?

花 - I visited the 2025 Hong Kong Flower Show (Ablaze With Glory). A spectacular display replete with every colour you could imagine.
Last day tomorrow, and a must do if anyone has even a few minutes to kill!

Playing spotto with cats while travelling has to be one of my favourite pastimes. Check out this gorgeous Bengal I met walking along the entrance of the National Taiwan Museum. Those eyes are electrifying.

Started Gary Stevenson’s The Trading Game a couple of days ago and absolutely could not put it down until it was done.
A great introduction into the veiled world of trading, and hammers home the reality that few economic experts have been accurate over the short- or medium-term.
