The ABC is a fundamentally broken institution. It is absolutely beyond comprehension for them to continue to platform a criminal underworld figure who remains connected to some of the most dangerous individuals in Australia.

@lukeburbank.bsky.social @walsh.bsky.social I can safely say that, after your spoilery discussion of #Pluribus, I still have no idea what this show is about.

I don't know if this is a good thing.

For the past week, my wife & I have been processing our daughter's anorexia nervosa diagnosis. The path to this point has been brutal. Everything we thought we knew about this disease (we're both health professionals) has been rendered invalid - probably a good thing - but no less devastating.

You know...I thought I was on board with big events like the car race coming to #Adelaide...

...except when they lock down the entire eastern side of town & I'm trying to make a specialist appointment I've kept for weeks & I have break multiple road rules just to get close enough to their rooms.

NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market.

Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please.

I have failed many times in my life. Some failures have been worse than others. For the longest time, I wasn't able to see these failures. I looked for excuses - for someone else to blame.

I had to learn to own my failures - both past and recent. It has been both frightening and liberating.

No words to express how honoured I am to have illustrated this officially licensed poster for my favourite #StarWars story. What a dream to work on this was ✨

If anyone wondered why Australia doesn’t have shutdowns, it is because we have a parliamentary system and not a Presidential system. Sorry America, your democracy objectively sucks.

14 years after I penned this teenaged love letter to #pinkfloyd singer Rachel Fury, her mystique & the awareness of my ode to her has only grown. I've recently updated it with some fascinating new information.

We've been getting this little visitor into our back garden over the past month. My daughter bought a box of native bird seed from the grocer and now he's coming in for an evening feed. I could think of worse things to be popping in...

Nirvana represented that hinge point for all of us who didn't buy into the late stage hair metal phenomenon. When Nirvana dropped, all of us who felt marginalised by the *Appetite* period, suddenly had our home turf. Then Jeremy hit & we knew it was our moment.
