The ALP is badly institutionalised and carrying deep scars thinking they need to be “bipartisan.” They should be out to destroy the Libs and do good policy if they had a spine.

She must have been a friend of my year 12 English teacher.

When the bullin shrieked: Aboriginal memories of volcanic eruptions

Aboriginal stories can coarsely bracket ancient volcanic eruptions in Australia and provide detail about what happened before, during and after they occurred.

Truth. As someone who was involved in powerlifting, the number of lifters who made no secret of identifying with the far right was disturbing. Sad to see lifting things for fun go this way.

Good to hear Harry is still making music. I can’t fathom how Oz rock may have sounded without Vanda and Young. I get AC/DC are a different beast without Mal but I’m going to the both Sydney shows. Their final flings!

The only IQ test that is valid is how you handle a busy shopping centre car park.

Cooge beach this morning. Sunny and calm. Whales breaching a few clicks offshore. And we swam for a bit with a blue groper. Coffee. Perfect Saturday morning.

Central Coast was always brushies. We didn’t see a ringtail till we moved to Sydney and living in the Flodge. Heard a commotion one night and found a brushtail hanging from our portable clotheslines as if was the most natural thing to do. Found the pic!

Agreed. People who are kind to possums are good people.

Shaun C @shaunyc.bsky.social · 10d

Yep. We noticed that with our Central Coast possums. Long story but we are in Sydney now and miss the possums. It was a wonderful nightly ritual.

Shaun C @shaunyc.bsky.social · 10d

Looking after possums is a good thing. When we lived in the Central Coast we had possums that showed up each night for a feed. To stop a certain possum eating all the corn I’d hand feed each possum that turned up a piece of corn.

Both Slow Horses and Blue Lights are back. This is a good thing. That each episode ends leaving you upset it is over is both a bad and good thing.

The ultimate “have you tried turning it off and on again” problem.

That was one hell of grand final. Reece Walsh was incredible. #NRLGF

I’ve been a bit obsessed with Mingus’ “Boogie Stop Shuffle” and making some kind of guitar arrangement. After some tinkering I’ve slowed it down a tad and used a Texas shuffle feel. Weekend goal is to record a quick demo.

Bet the RMIT blockchain bros are pissed that they never thought of this.

Mentioned to someone at work that when we are in Bayeux next month the Bayeux tapestry museum will be closed. I had to then explain to multiple people what is the Bayeux tapestry.

Noice. It will go down well. Tis a very good beer.

Shaun C @shaunyc.bsky.social · 19d

Found via @pommesdeguerre.bsky.social One of Perth’s special brews. A quality beer and an also a fundraiser as proceeds go to Médecins Sans Frontières. I must have snagged the last few as it is sold out.

That as you get older the world has passed you by. And no cares about you opinions on the music etc young folk like. Enjoy what you listen to etc and leave it at that.
