Definitely #NFL is great to watch, but #AFL has so much athleticism, movement and action that American should be packing stadiums to watch it.
@awmalloy.bsky.social · 20h agoNot so sure, it's a fun game to watch once you understand it - my son is passionate about both.
American Gods is one of the most incredible works of fiction. I read it (again and again) the same way I listen to Led Zeppelin records - with a calm air of unproven denial.
Marcus Kelson@marcuskelson.bsky.social · 22h agoNeil Gaiman has gone off for me - but can I say Cocteau's version of Offenbach's Comic Opera is pretty good....very french and mysterious too...
About 100,000 will attend #NFL game in Melbourne. Why? Despite playing the most exiting code of football, Australia is such a cringe ridden little country that they’re still awed by America.
@janicek.bsky.social · 20h agoLooking forward to seeing how many people turn up at 10am on a Friday to watch an alien code.
Max Wank was a Relief Pitcher?? That means something different over here 🤣

Please explain. One Nation will make crime ‘illegal’ (😵💫). They’ll be tough on those who sell drugs and those who buy drugs. But anyone who sells or buys drugs and says it’s all behind them now can be endorsed candidate for Parliament. Moral - don’t get caught.
bystander1.bsky.social@bystander1.bsky.social · 23h ago"One Nation is taking a novel approach to its “tough on crime” election stance in Victoria. This week, its state leader Warren Pickering got up and outlined his own experience with the subject."
The Patrick Melrose novels. Was late to get to these books. Edward St. Aubyn has written some of the most startling real descriptions of addiction I've ever read. They took me back to the toilet cubicles of my youth. Ranks up there with Martin Amis for savagery of English class system.
One Nation Party opposes drug law reform, oppose safe injecting rooms and oppose healthcare for addicts. These fascist meth heads have form. PS. Blitzed is a fascinating insight into how Nazi’s abused amphetamines.
bystander1.bsky.social@bystander1.bsky.social · 2d ago"Hanson said on News24 that Pickering was receiving a lot of support for his admissions, which told her “people are not interested in this”."
Planet is dying, people doing it tough, wars rage, data centres destroying cities ... and what's the big issue for One Nation Coalition? 14 years ago, the Prime Minister, who doesn't play golf, got honorary member to a gold club he's never been to. Far out, they're warthog level garbage rooters.
One Nation candidate Warren Pickering tells the media he took crystal meth but never touched Ice. Shall we tell him? F-ing idiot. #auspol
We’re changing the name of our old cat to Mitch McConnell - if he dies we’ll just pretend he’s still alive for months.
San Francisco 49ers are in Australia for #NFL game. They said they’ll check out the sights: Universal healthcare. Democracy. Independent judiciary. Food safety. Public broadcasting. Sanity (almost).

Martin Amis so wittily called this male obsession “a rug re-think”. #Trump #bald #and #demented

Fleshtones -Roman Gods. Heard this at someone’s fleabag house, roaring fire going, wine flowing, high as a lunar rocket. I made them play the album over and over until I returned to earth. #Fleshtones #SuperRock #NowSpinning #MusicSky

Canberra can be a dull place. So, image the outraged confusion when Pavement and Jim Rose Circus were in town on the same night. (Went to Pavement)

Comes A Time is one of Neil Young’s most wistful and delightful albums. Often overlooked, play it on a miserable wet day when you feel like shit. #MusicSky #NeilYoung
If expensive cigarettes causes more people to smoke illegal tobacco, can’t wait for the Coalition policy on reducing the price of cocaine.
Not content with killing their own citizens, these psychopaths now want to slaughter animals. Trump, a death dodging coward, enacts his self arousing fantasies aided by a posse of perverts.
Gus Moyer (梅子超)@gusmoyer.bsky.social · 6d ago1/ #Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office Friday with a provision to “encourage” states to delist gray wolves as protected species so ranchers can shoot them. #EndangeredSpecies #GrayWolves #tRumpAdministration
What an incredible bill: Grateful Dead and Violent Femmes. #envy
Chris@feelikeastrnger.bsky.social · 7d agoI saw the Femmes open up for the Grateful Dead and a large outdoor show I was familiar with them for years before that, but most of the dead heads were not, but they sure want them over as they’re set on and it was a blast
When Violent Femmes first toured Australia they got small crowds. Femmes played St James Tavern in Sydney CBD and blew the 100 fans away with absolutely stunning performance.

Reminds me of ex-colleague who was interviewed by exeucutive for senior position. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? the CEO asked. Sitting behind your desk! the interviewee replied. They didn't get the job. 😀

US Vice President JD Vance: "the United States never targets civilians in combat." The defense calls to the stand: Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia, Iraq Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Libya. #Trump #WarCrimes
