I met Walter at a convention in Brisbane in the late 90s, he was a really humble and unassuming man despite being obviously well known. He was fresh from playing Bester in Babylon 5 and he made me wonder if he was really PsyCorps! Vale Walter.

Lula Goes HARD

A great time to be a PHP expert on a high hourly rate

Long couple of days upgrading Ubuntu..

The contest for worst take is up for grabs. The AFR is a seriously demented contender. #auspol

‘the coroner called on the federal government to consider banning all gambling ads on mainstream and social media’ www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Whomever claimed that there are no bad ideas was just plain wrong.

If Albo is serious about turning down the temperature he will finally take himself and his government off X. If he doesn't, he's not serious.

It's not some amorphous "Australians" creating the hostile environment. It's a specific bunch of political actors. Who, BTW, are inexplicably treated as untouchable by media and mainstream politics.

Everyone is letting ON and Advance and others get away with bad behaviour. They've spent years shouting that everything not-them is not legitimate. That is the soil hate thrives on.

I do not want to see this country follow the USA into a full blown kleptocracy. I'm over rudeness, racism, bigotry and cravenness being framed as a virtue. "Please explain" should be followed by listening to educated answers, not as a catch phrase for the dimwitted. Grow up, Australia. #auspol

LinkedIn has become a real professional cesspool, hasn’t it?

Zacharia now has more time for the kids.

ALP not even pretending anymore #WhatisthepointofLabor #Oneplanet #Auspol

In a “You don’t fail without failure” kind of fashion

Just ridiculous, yet Minns remains likely to win government again.

It's always been about who has the better lobbyists.

What fresh hell is this LinkedIn??

Who truly mourns for the Russian bots?

In the last 48 hours, Trump has invented an energy ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, pretended that much of this year’s energy price surge is not because of his reckless war on Iran and cut a side deal to funnel billions to Russia for sanctioned diesel. Not a friend. End AUKUS.

Here's 9 "grails" I own on #vinyl. Pretty nice representation from nearly 25 years of collecting. AMA. #vinylsky #musicsky #vinylrecords #jazz #rock

Scored an original AU pressing of the Stems' debut album today! Happy with that. #musicsky #vinyl #aussie

Grotesque

Only Techbro assholes could come to the conclusion that there is no paid physical labour to explain why gyms exist.

It's too early for my brain to be working, but here we are. International conference calls...

About time. You can’t really point to another major party that has clear policies that benefit marginalised groups. It’s long past due that the electorate recognised this.

Daylight savings did not fool me this year. Up at 6:30 (5:30), shower, took dog for a walk. Saw the markets setting up. Bought take away coffee for two. Settling in to breakfast and admiring the sunshine.

For all the stuff I complain about on here, I would like to throw kudos at a most unlikely recipient: Aus Post. They have been consistently getting small parcels from Brisbane delivered to me on the NSW far south coast *within* 4 days. If it reaches the ‘Gong, it arrives next day every time. Kudos.

Apt and ironic

I renew the notion of "eat the rich". Bring on the golden age of guillotines.

"the Board is focused on its mandate to deliver price stability and full employment." really?

I give you the annotated version of the RBA statement (just in case you want to know what they really mean) thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Yo.

BREAKING: "The Coalition remains thoroughly unelectable" #auspol

Albanese is the same muppet who thinks regularly enacting “world first” legislation is a good thing. Maybe sometimes we should sit things out and be opportunistic in the aftermath? No, we’re governed on balance, by idiots. #auspol

Here ‘tis. Buffalo’s 5th album. Reverse is dedicated (by hand) to the bass player’s (Ross Sims) nephew. #vinylsky #records #aussie

At 91, I may be slowing down a little, but P&I is not. Its readership is growing, younger voices are joining us and its independence still rests entirely on readers, John Menadue writes. #IndependentMedia #auspol

I just completed my (Australian 70s hard rock) Buffalo collection, acquiring the rarely seen 5th studio album (LP) on the Vertigo label at the markets this morning. #vinylsky #vinylrecords #aussierock
