- Reposted by JamieI know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- Devastation. We will love you forever Catherine O’Hara 💔
- Reposted by JamieRachel Reeves: "It is not right that people who don't go to university bear the cost for others to." I don't use local leisure centres and I don't drive, so will I be made exempt for taxation that pays for all that stuff? Or is it only education we'll be going after

- And lo “squabble this opportunity” enters the Drag Race lexicon with a bang just as Briar leaves. #DragRace
- I knew McCartney and Weller were elder statesmen of music but didn’t realise they were possibly on the Bayeaux Tapesty.

- This is beyond disgusting. How can we saddle young people with these kinds of debts before they have even started in life. I remember feeling crippled by my loan 30 years ago and it was only about 10% of the debt graduates have now. Shameful. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...
- Absolute logistical shit show by the Sidney Myer Music Bowl for David Byrne tonight. Thousands still queuing to get in 20 mins before scheduled start.
- There’s really not much point being on here, is there? It’s never going to be more than a small lifeboat of Twitter survivors hoping we find land.

- Reposting this piece I wrote many moons ago after @petepaphides.bsky.social excellent post about @lloydcole.bsky.social and ageing elegantly. Looking forward to catching up with LC on his latest Australian tour in a few weeks. mintcustard.blogspot.com/2009/11/lloy...
- 40 minutes to get from Altona to Footscray. Another classic performance from Metro Trains.

- Really great column by Gary Younge about how history is made by the small acts of everyday people and resistance never stops ✊ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- The Vivienne Westwood / Red Kawakubo exhibition at the NGV is really good but we had more fun at the DIVA exhibition next door at Hamer Hall. Who doesn’t want to see Amy Taylor’s Whoopee Cushion ensemble, Kylie’s Padam outfit or Kate Miller-Heidke’s Eurovision dress?
- It would be great to hear @timwattsmp.bsky.social and Melissa Horne speaking up on this issue to the Victorian Government. Altona loop residents are massively impacted with journey times almost doubled.
- For the past 12 months the West of Melbourne has been used as a testing ground for the rest of the city with buses replacing trains in the evening. We don’t even get to use these new trains on our line - they are for elsewhere. #TheWestisnotaTest @ptua.org.au

- The sky out in the west of Melbourne last night. No filters.
- Just another normal day in Melbourne, 42 degrees and (Dorothy) gale force winds. Stay safe all.
- A five day test match (and cricket on the radio) is a reminder of what we’ve missed out on this series. I’m not ready for it to end, despite the disappointment of England’s performances.

- “I’ve just said to the lads that I’m getting fed up with this,” said Rob Edwards, the Wolves manager. Late contender for quote of the year. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
- Why don’t they just honour the MCG tickets purchased and make both teams go out and play a 50-over game today. Cricket Australia gets the money, the players still get two days off and frankly it’s no different from Day 1 or Day 2 in terms of spectacle.
- Absolutely shameful omission of Hull Kingston Rovers from this list by @theguardian.com. Not one but three trophies after a 40 year gap and not a single word. @hullkr.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/d...

- Digging through my box of #MICF souvenirs and found these from when Little @alexhorne.bsky.social was even littler…
- Do others look back on 2016 as the year everything went dark? We lost Bowie, Prince, Victoria Wood, Caroline Aherne, Wogan, Carrie Fisher, George Michael, Alan Rickman, Ali, Gene Wilder, and Leonard Cohen all amongst the bullshit of Brexit. It’s been uphill ever since.
- It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
- If ever a band were misrepresented by their most famous work it’s Catatonia. ‘The Sublime Magic of Catatonia’ and ‘Way Beyond Blue’ are truly wonderful compared to anything on ‘International Velvet’ and I hope we get some kind of 30 year retrospective in 2026.
- Um… assume this is not the actual @thesociallondon.bsky.social popping up here in Melbourne?
- Pigeons and cockatoos living together. Mass hysteria.
- More hard hitting, essential writing in the Guardian today… “My heart sinks and I become inwardly furious when I sit down and the waiter asks, “Have you been here before?”. “No, it’s our first time.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

- Chris deserves so much respect for these amazing collages. They have become a regular part of the end of year for me for the past decade. So creative, respectful, emotionally intelligent and always poignant. Thank you 🙏🏽
