for some reason this burner phone came up with 'Presidential alert' rather than my own phone got
too on the nose for even Swimming Australia and Seven for Australian swimmers to say “Thank you Mrs Rinehart” in a post-swim interview before cutting to a Hancock Prospecting or Kidman commercial
hold up! how can there be no JLPT exams in all of Melbourne/Victoria this year? It was difficult enough to secure a booking to begin with.
can't express how shitty this policy is from the Coalition. There are tens of thousands of hard-working, tax-paying permanent residents of this country who haven't taken out Australian citizenship because their birth nation doesn't allow dual nationality.
sorry, but what?!?! How is this remotely democratic? @davidshoebridge.bsky.social must be doing his job a little too well for Labor and the Coalition.
the Japanification of Australian emergencies and natural disasters is coming! Welcome J-Al... AusAlert.
on the Oga Peninsula, Akita Prefecture, the Namahage (a demon-like ogre) goes door to door on New Year's Eve scaring misbehaving children (but also blessings of good health and harvest). Cheers to that with a can of Dewatsuru Junmai. HNY.
unreal set last night. Refused's last club show outside of Sweden. Dennis with insane energy for his years and a heart attack last year.
so much time pored over these liner notes over the years. One last time live, tonight!
Folk Bitch Trio one of my favourite local discoveries this year, so much so I bought their LP. Electric homecoming show at The Corner last night, second of two sold out over the weekend.
also playing a gig especially for families with Bob Evans at Brunny Ballroom for Father's Day this Sunday! (the Bleak Squad record is grouse!)
seen estimates between 100k and 200k so far. Largest I've been a part of in some time. 3yo and 3mo didn't last the whole march, but helped swell the numbers. 🍉👶🏻
do we know the origins of the calls for a 'March for Australia' as yet? Because I have a theory and it involves 2GB and Daily Tele ragebait purveyor, Lucy Zelic.
I frankly hate that the only differentiation between men's and women's leagues here forces you to readily identify which company sponsors which. Utes = men, kitchen goods = women. Is there a reluctance to call the men's league A-League Men's?
