The most beautiful sentence I ever wrote is being housed in a fireproof box underground. Everyone who ever read it spontaneously combusted in a blaze of glee. I couldn't get prose insurance for years after that.

Can't quite believe how many readers have grabbed a copy and then posted tremendously generous feedback on here. If you give poetry a chance, it might just surprise you...!

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Instead of Halloween candy, give the children what they want: sturdy shoelaces, antacids, tinned fish packed in oil. Maybe copies of your hand-bound manifesto.

Young agent tried being a bit pushy. I showed him what helpful looks like by letting the buyers inspector know some problems with house. All you had to do was be polite, but private school boys in their 20s have something prove, and that something is that they are little pricks.

We do need to end #aukus before it costs us even more but highlighting alternatives would give the demand more weight. ... and it's also incredibly dangerous to throw Ukraine under the bus. It alienates our allies in a time where we NEED to look for better and more reliable partners. #auspol

Past events exist, after all, only in memory, which is a form of imagination. The event is real now, but once it’s then, its continuing reality is entirely up to us, dependent on our energy and honesty.

Somehow a town with less than 50k people can find accommodation for, or provides serviced camping sites for 200k people. On average there are around 120k homeless people on any given night. All these people with caravans also have houses…

We should have started chasing politicians up trees and setting fire to them when they started the privatization of public services.

Next time I am negotiating with Telstra I am going to bring up them paying $3m+ for Steve Buscemi to play a four armed alien for 30 seconds…

If someone could pop down to Auckland Harbour and paint a greenpeace symbol on the side of Jeff Bezos big stupid yacht for me that would be great. Let me know when you’re done and I will get some pictures of it off to French intelligence agents ASAP…

“Dave gets on the piss”: Edition #219 The Pass Pinot Gris 2025. A decent drop for around $15 retail. Slightly off dry, a typical Gris from this part of the world (Marlborough NZ) We don’t stock this currently but I might stick it in the range off the back of this taste. Decent value. 89/100

“Dave gets on the piss”: Edition #220 Had these at work today. Tar & Roses Sangiovese, Prosecco and barrel fermented Pinot Gris and a Tyrrell’s Rufus Stone Heathcote Shiraz. No tasting notes but all were very good and I’ve put them all into the range (except the Gris which is limited).

Why can’t this rep bring me free samples?

Another couple of billion years and we won't even remember what the fuss was all about.

The lizard magnets seem to be working.

Me: I figure I have 90days to complete the move. Them: 90days is a long time, you know what might help? Me: Getting a 90 day fiancé. Them: how would that help? Me: I could get an armish one, or someone from the Soviet block just after the fall. Them: I was going to suggest Airtasker

Sunrise over Weenipagamiksaguygun on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Reflecting, as a settler, on how much better things would be if more people adopted an Indigenous World View and treated the lake and all around us as our relatives.

Try to get some rest and peace. All this nervous energy is pulling your focus from me.

Have just had one of my staff messaging on the staff chat. Two young fellas came in, got knocked back because their ID was bogus, so they decided to steal the stuff! In their haste, they dropped their mobile phone, so a manager is now calling their parents 🤣

🤣👏

Just a reminder that this kind of dodgy graft is what PHON live for and that this is how they'll run the country. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yeah, just to let you know, cops, that you're arresting the wrong people. The war criminal/genocidaire was inside the building. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The far-right’s “patriotism” is not about honouring service, writes Marcia Langton. It is about controlling the story of who counts as Australian and who does not. trib.al/kjSFNsi

Good night, everyone. Keep an eye on things for me. See if you can stall the hellbound handbasketing a little longer.

IKEA is releasing a Pallas Cat plush, and they have nailed the expression…

Thoughts running through my head And I feel that love is dead I'm lovin' angles instead…

Blessed are those who pre-order books, for they believe in the future and believe in art and conduct themselves accordingly.

There is a certain bleakness in finding hope where one expected certainty.

The best piece of news, after a relentless and brutal attempt to destroy a decent person and make an example of her, to scare others to silence. No thanks to the mainstream, which said and did nothing to defend the principle of press freedom and her right to report fact and express an opinion.

Female (or young, I'm not sure) white-winged fairywrens yesterday on the farm. Happy Wrensday!

Sixty years ago, a trailblazing sci-fi series that wouldn't have existed if Lucille Ball hadn't intervened, and Gene Roddenberry imagined a better society, capable of dealing with whatever existed where no one had gone before, took flight. Happy 60th Anniversary, Star Trek!👽🚀

This was the video I was looking for yesterday to post. I follow Joshua Wright on instagram because we are both passionate about saving old trees. This was an ancient forest valley that was recently logged on Vancouver Island. They cut down one of the largest Yellow Cedar tree in Canada. 😢

Grateful for your contributions to the Star Trek universe and beyond, good sir. Thank you for your continued voice of wisdom and gentle reasoning. Please know how cherished you still are, every day.

Thank you for all your work on the series and the movies and your books. So many people helped make Star Trek happen, and you were one of them, and you continued the mission and the message of Star Trek to this day. You are a LEGEND good sir.
