Has the Australian mainstream media reflected at all on their own role in this? Someone should write a piece on the numerous times radio shock jocks and breakfast tv and late night tv commentators have promoted violence against politicians or public figures. #auspol #media #VAW #racism #HelenHaines

Oh yeah--while we're here: I avow, affirm and support The Brotherhood of Marx. Je suis Marxiste, tendance Groucho.

Brotherhoods I disavow: -Brotherhood of evil mutants -Dark Brotherhood of Tamriel, Skyrim and Morrowind -Muslim brotherhood, who wouldn't have me anyhow. Brotherhoods I avow: -Blues Brotherhood -Brother from another motherhood. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Witness me, comrades! For despite the growling of the black dog, which tried to persuade me to stay in bed with the blankets over my head, I have potted two marigolds! Even had to leave the house to get potting mix.

as someone who saw the decapitation of Daniel Pearl, journalists get to see a lot more than your average Joe, I'd suggest avoid any kind of televised public execution because it could scar you for life.

You know what sucks? Having a UTI. You know what doesn't suck? Being able to go to a pharmacist and get antibiotics without the hassle of a GP appointment.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

We were presented, this morning, with a rare opportunity to add an indoor water feature to the bedroom. Via the ceiling. In what I can only describe as an act of architectural cowardice, we have elected instead to call out an emergency roofing plumber, who can't come today because it's raining ...

Game: Describe what you're eating in the most pretentious way possible. I'll go first: Hand-sliced toasted rye sourdough with cultured butter and locally sourced yeast extract.

Himself: Gee, it's freezing in here ... why is the oven on? Myself: Say that again, slowly. Quiche is a side-effect. Having the oven on is the point.

Get you a husband who will make Thai spiced tea so good it stops time, because you mentioned offhandedly that you liked it.

Welp, gotta be honest. Part of me is surprised to see them in the same room at the same time. I guess they ARE two different people.

My brilliant sister offers this to the Sydneysiders after the Vivid mishap of earlier this week: "Catch a falling drone and put it in your pocket, Someone had a real bad day Catch a falling drone and put it in your pocked Fetch it out of Circular Quay." Try and get it out of your head ...

It's the age old question. Are the "what if there's no sun" crowd really that stupid? Or do they just hope the rest of the world is that stupid?

Jewish MP Gerald Kaufmann in Parliament in 2009. "My Grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her town, a German soldier shot her dead." "My Grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israel to murder Palestinian Grandmothers in Gaza."

Had my 'flu shot two days ago, and thought that I'd gotten away with it. Gentle reader, I have not. Still better than getting the 'flu, though.
