I once entered a competition where I could win the chance to have tea with a(n Australian) celebrity of my choice.

To this day, I am truly thankful that my pathetic socially awkward teenage baby queer arse did not win.

(no, i’m not telling you who it was. if you know, you know.)

Have anything you've always wanted to share, but never have the opportunity to, like any facts you know or stories about yourself?

Shane Crawford auditioning to be a guest on Micallef Tonight, which I’ll attach as the next reply…

What's something that always makes you laugh when you think of it?

Don’t know about “fifth favourite”, but I’m currently thinking about the “Eco Tips” they’d show back in the Ten Capital days and the one specific one where they had a bunch of shirtless (?) blokes brushing their teeth.

I’ve no idea what the actual eco tip was with that one. :(

what's your fifth favourite piece of obscure aus tv media stuffs :D

I finally bugged @davidmgreen.bsky.social to give me a copy of the 198 ABC/Inside the Third Reich tape for two things.

One, this excellent instrumental of Spandau Ballet's "To Cut A Long Story Short"

Was bored earlier, so I attempted to draw a certain horny Assistant.

Emphasis on the "attempted."

Thank you! The proportion's a little off for my liking, but I'll cope. :D

Thank you! It'll be even better when I remember how to mix colours correctly! <3

Haven’t painted anything since I finished my Visual Arts Cert 3.

Until today.

Yes, I'm rusty at this painting thing. No, it's not finished. But it's a start, and that's what really matters. 🎨👨🏻‍🎨

A sheltered and paved area of my backyard. An easel with a partially painted canvas board and a small table with paints, paintbrushes, and a used bit of waxy paper are in view.

I used to watch Only Connect when I first started on the gym treadmills. Made the time fly by, and made the others in the gym look at me when I forgot where I was and would yell out the answers. 🙃

I also saw a whole bunch of flowers, and this very important caution around a huge area of water.

"CAUTION: AREA OF WATER. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES. LIFE SAVING DEVICE FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY," says a yellow sign in front of an area in Canberra's Commonwealth Park where the area of water in question was - at time of photo - was little more than a pissweak puddle. A white plastic chair is in front of the sign on its side, clearly overwhelmed by the amount of water in the area of water.

God I hate this awful ugly building, but I got a good picture of it today and now I want to paint it. 🙃

The TransACT building on Northbourne Avenue, Canberra.

It's a fucking nightmare of a structure, right?

4chan unlikely to be included in Australia’s under-16s social media ban, eSafety commissioner says

Julie Inman Grant says message board will need to comply with other codes which will also include age assurance for sites hosting violent and adult content * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The eSafety commissioner is not expected to block children from accessing 4chan as part of the under-16s social media ban, despite it being labelled one of the “darker” places on the internet. The eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, was asked by independent senator Fatima Payman in Senate estimates on Wednesday night whether 4chan, the message board often referred to as the engine room of the internet, would be considered one of the sites required to prevent under-16s when the social media ban comes into effect from 10 December.

hear me out: what if instead of this, we turned NYT _Connections_ into a US gameshow.

you could even make it so that a few of the rounds expanded the way things could be connected - what comes fourth in a sequence, that sort of thing. Add a buzzer round at the end to keep things exciting.
