Reflecting on something I saw here. Was anyone else at primary school a music / bell monitor? I remember being one in Grade 5 and 6. At recess and lunch I would have a preprepared mixtape (probably off Casey Kasem's American top40) and play songs bookended by the bell. Surprised I never DJ'd lol.

What a brilliant episode of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Tremendous direction. Wow.

On Valentine’s Day 36 years ago, at the request of Carl Sagan, NASA turned Voyager 1's camera back toward earth for one last look.
From 3.7 billion miles away, it captured this: a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Here is how #CarlSagan beautifully described it:
Here is how Carl Sagan beautifully described it: “Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Maungawhau today was an amazing place to view the city of Auckland from. Would have been amazing to see this place centuries ago as a fortified pā, where Māori communities lived and worked. #NewZealand

From the archive...

EXCLUSIVE: Angus Taylor has released a new letter from the AFP clearing him of corruption over a Cayman Islands company.
chaser.com.au/national/ang...
Letter from the AFP: Dear Mr Taylor, I'm writing in regards to your role in the Cayman Island company which received $80 million from the Federal Government as part of a water rights buyback that occurred without tender in 2017 when Barnaby Joyce was agriculture minister. Even though you were director of Eastern Australian Agriculture and have said "I was a consultant" of the company, here at the AFP we can't find any evidence at all that you're in anyway dodgy or corrupt. In fact, it's surprising that anyone brought it up. You are hereby completely exonerated of everything. Good on you. Keep it up. You're a legend. Yours sincerely, Reece Kershaw AFP (Angus Taylor's signature)

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

Anyone got a photo of Angus from his High School yearbook?

You’re all scoffing but Angus Taylor has the potential to be the greatest Liberal leader since Brendan Nelson. Maybe even Alexander Downer.

Press gallery having orgasms at not having to worry at all about policy and being able to talk about “cut through” “conviction” “a good look” “win back the centre” all without one iota of supporting evidence

Never, ever, doubt the stupidity and self-interest which dominates conservative politics in this country.

And sadly it has now spread unchecked into the ALP.

Australia be better. We are increasingly getting the politicians we deserve...

I predict that by the end of his acting career, Timothée Chalamet will hold the record for the most male oscar wins ever.

He is mesmirising on-screen.
