Dear @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social if you’re going to tackle hate speech on signs in a protest, how about you take a look at hate speech in The Australian and on Sky News first? They reach more people than a protest sign, and the temperature of racist white Australians also needs to come down. #auspol

There isn’t one way to be sad. Weaponising women’s tears, or the lack of them, has also been used against rape victims seeking justice in legal settings. It has misogyny at its core. Sussan Ley MP is a disgusting politician. #auspol

‘I haven’t seen Penny Wong shed a single tear’: Ley takes fierce personal swipe
Ley raised her voice and smacked the lectern during a press conference as she criticised Wong’s absence from Sydney since the Bondi attack.

Every day this week The Australian has written against the PM. Today they’re disparaging young people. I am sick of biased, ineffective media that cultivates hate, class divides, and dissatisfaction. #auspol

Across 2025 there were 184 reviews published on Does My Bomb Look Big In This? covering 67 different Sydney suburbs & 36 distinct cuisines. We did a lot of NSW road trips this year, covering 68 places in wider NSW & Victoria (37%). I’ve narrowed that down to 10. #food

By Sang hustles too fast to savour their excellent quality fishes. We lacked the real estate to have every dish we’d ordered arrive before we finished our opening dish: the sashimi omakase ($104/24 pieces). This added stress when really we should have been savouring the way bluefin tuna melts… #food

When every table has a sign pushing Google reviews, it means you can’t trust the restaurant’s ratings. This is unfortunate for Summit to Pyramid, because dishes like fatta ($28), would likely attract positive reviews, organically. Topped with crispy onions, it’s a celebratory Egyptian dish. #food

Green Peppercorn Express is an offshoot of the Invathong family’s original Fairfield restaurant, Green Peppercorn, which opened in 2012. The menu is a story of migration. Like many Laotians, political instability saw the Invathongs flee Laos over to Thailand after the Vietnam War. #food

There’s a slower pace to Berry since the bypass. The main road feels safe to cross, & parking isn’t The Hunger Games. Not that you’ll need to if you decide to stay at The Berry View; it’s a short enough walk from everything you need so you can park & forget about the car for the weekend. #travel

Amuro is my pick of Sydney’s sake bars. It’s tiny—just 20 seats—& tightly spaced with intelligent service. While a bar at heart it has a menu big enough to make a meal out of it. The first thing you’ll notice in the otherwise minimalist concrete, glass & timber space, are the chopstick rests… #food
