I know how suspiciously cliche this sounds but that podcast is a useful one for dispatching unwanted middle of night wakefulness

Australian PM says former prince Andrew has suffered β€˜extraordinary fall’ but that won’t prompt another republic referendum Exclusive: Anthony Albanese says arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after life of β€˜absolute privilege’ will be watched closely in Australia

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... au contraire Albo, drop AUKUS and spend (a fraction of) the money instead on having a republic referendum every weekend until the people give in

Paul McCartney tries to escape The Beatles in Man On The Run Morgan Neville's new documentary is a fascinating portrait of an artist rebuilding himself while the world watches on.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02... this is a stupid, stupid article with its patronising and musically deaf attitude to Wings that was rife in school playgrounds in the 1970s. It’s been obvious for decades now that the Beatles was McCartney’s juvenilia and Wings was where he found himself as an artist

Lucky Grills sitting at a writing desk. He has just taken off his glasses, or maybe he’s about to put them on

Oh yeah, the Oxford comma, the Oxford comma. People love to go on about the Oxford comma. Put this comma in everything, it’s the bee’s knees. You’ve gotta line up to give props to the Oxford comma. Fucking Oxford comma. People wouldn’t give a fuck if it was the Monash comma.

Australia was built on the White Australia policy according to thes swills and rabbles and I fully expect that before 2026 is anywhere near over they will just be saying it straight out

Screencap of The Age byline where the writer of a piece of lame not-news gives his byline occupation as Professor. I googled him and it’s every bit as bad as I expected

Drew Pavlou’s deportation clownshow has inspired me to think of performance projects I, as legit the REAL most misunderstood theorist/artist of the 21st century, must immediately undertake.

Cleaned my house for 2 hours post-stout explosion, it still smells like kissing Barnaby Joyce. I used to think I’d kiss him for $1,000,000 but uh uh!!!

There was a bottle of home brewed stout in my fridge from like 2022. I opened it to tip it down the sink today. Fortunately I did point it away from myself, but the splashback saturated my clothes and there is stout all over the kitchen walls, bench, floor and indoor plants. Smells like a brewery 😒

I dunno, seems to me the rest of the racist world has recently learned from Trumpist demonstrations that animating ideas can be totally dispensed with
