@dontattempt.bsky.social Swig. Seriously?

Don’t know whether to be disappointed, or proud, to have only scored seven, @dontattempt.bsky.social

An anagram walks into a pub and orders: top row gins, dark ales, and a banana rum. #anagram

#top100australianbooks I’m doing well - My bingo card is half-full at the halfway point! Bring on Nos. 1-50, today from 1:00pm on RN. Go, @ronnisalt.bsky.social

#crosswordsinthpub A rare Saturday edition, @wallabies.bsky.social on the idiot box. An old Paul in the @theguardian.com Is there a record for longest reverse hidden, @lrlr.bsky.social @silentknightsk.bsky.social @dontattempt.bsky.social ❓ I submit 20a (6,6)

Today’s #crosswordsinthepub coming to you from the Glengarry Castle Hotel, Darlington, Australia. The Friday iteration in the SMH/Age is authored by @dontattempt.bsky.social Two hours in - less elbow-bending interruptions - still an unmitigated disaster. A poultice shy. **SPOILERS**

BREAKING: Our @lukeradel.bsky.social was in the room when the new White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia delivered her first briefing… before she ABRUPTLY LEFT after taking only a few questions

Oh man, I can’t wait to watch Katie Zacharia’s NEXT press conference. 🍿🍿

We’re starting to suspect Katie didn’t get the job for her years of training and deep well of expertise 🤷🏼‍♀️

Katie Zacharia makes Karoline Leavitt seem like Winston Churchill

🚨 WOW: Trump’s new press secretary Katie Zacharia's debut was such a disaster that White House insiders are ALREADY invoking Anthony Scaramucci. And that’s not even the most embarrassing part of what happened.

🚨 BREAKING: Kimberly Guilfoyle is OUT as Trump's ambassador to Greece, resigning amid a cloud of scandals and controversy. Guilfoyle, who was handed the diplomatic post after her relationship with Donald Trump Jr. ended, is now making an embarrassing exit from the regime.

Just more proof of Richard’s range

Also nobody refused her service. Nobody told her to go back where she came from. She got her coffee. The café just chose where the profit went. That's not exclusion. That's a business making a choice, which is something One Nation usually defends.

Jentacular libations à the Paris End of Fern Rouge. Friday’s usual #crosswordsinthepub from the SMH/Age, authored by DA aka @dontattempt.bsky.social Went soft on us, this week. **SPOILERS**

It's unattractive to brag but I figured out in January 2025 that the entire AI pitch was to professional status-insecure men who wanted secretaries and in a world where women had achieved educational parity and now the CEO of Nvidia says he's offloading cognitively to an LLM rather than his wife/PA.

#crosswordsintheppub on a Friday is usually a jentacular mission; day got away from me. Five bells in Sydney. 🍊 Negroni time. The first half went in, very swiftly; next quarter, logically. Last SW sector - wtf, DA? @dontattempt.bsky.social Will revisit. **SPOILERS**

Congratulations to A SONIC DICK. #BrownlowMedal

Love this.

@dontattempt.bsky.social Don’t usually rant about the Age/SMH Target - we know they are prudes, out of touch and usually stupid. But, today…! No scarily, ibis, iris, bias, risibly, icily, airily

I resemble those remarks.

The NACC explains why they currently have just 2 case workers managing all referrals, despite having more than enough in their budget for more staff. Apparently they’ve been mismanaging their own budget.🤦‍♂️ Does anything function correctly at the NACC? 🙄

Friday’s jentacular edition of #crosswordsinthepub hails (not hales!) from Fern Rouge, Sydney, Australia, cultural home of the Rabbitohs. DA aka @dontattempt.bsky.social has stopped me with three short. A couple more vessels of thinking juice, and will reengage. **SPOILERS**

It’s funny, but also not funny at the same time.
