@pleasedontatme How long has the Portuguese club been there? Decades.

I’m in Marrickville and would love to a “keep the music” submission

@travellerMark @Peter_Fitz Celebrity endorsements don’t do much in general… but TS may be an exception if she shifts the registration numbers. Every fraction of a percentage counts.

@tracey_thorn @dean194bt Years ago I lost my wallet and I panicked. Little cash but it had some useful cards. An older guy I was working with reassured me honest people outnumber dishonest ones four to one.

I got a call from the finder the next day

@Christie_Whelan It’s also funny to watch MAGAists burning T Swift records.

(They have already bought them and given her the money)

[Michael Carey @MichaeCarey]

@TheRealPBarry I should try that

[Michael Carey @MichaeCarey]

@GrogsGamut It wasn’t “contested policy.”

It was class war conducted for financial and PR purposes.

Have any ministers who were responsible apologised for the brutal damage? Serious question

@adrianmckinty @simonmontefiore The acting, though, was superb and attuned for television in a way earlier big BBC shows weren’t. Watch the early 70s War and Peace and everyone is playing loudly the stage - with one amazing exception.

(A breathtaking Anthony Hopkins seems to be in a different show)

@farrm51 She’s an exceptional reporter

Things that people who come to Australia are afraid of: Spiders, Scorpions, Snakes, Sharks, Crocs, Jellyfish, Blue Ring Octopus, Stone Fish, Feral Pigs, Giant bulls, Emus, and Kangaroos.

Things that Australians are afraid of: Magpies.

Sophie Scholl was a German student and anti-Nazi activist in the White Rose non-violent resistance group.

She, her brother Hans, and friends distributed anti-Nazi leaflets and were arrested by the Gestapo. In 1943, they were executed for their resistance efforts. Sophie was 21.

“All decent people welcome the sparing of his life,” writes @davidfrum. “Trump’s reckoning should be with the orderly process of law, not with the bloodshed he rejoiced in when it befell others”: https://t.co/J9sPD2u8AC

On July 11, I published an article disliked by strong Biden supporters. That prompted a flurry of emails threatening to cancel subscriptions to
@TheAtlantic

Today I offended Trump supporters - which got me a cascade of fantasies about sending my family to concentration camps.

@DaveTaylorNews But when the narrative is set (congative deterioration) all those flubs will be the focus.

K Rudd at a New York strip club had no impact because it was at odd with his public self.

M Latham crushing handshake with J Howard hurt him cos it reinforced concerns about anger

@mizenator @TheBishF1 @BorisJohnson Cameron was shallow in his thinking, and made a dreadful tactical decision … but did not assault community / political standards in the relentless way Johnston did

@TonyKoc69285191 One great saving grace for Australia; compulsory voting. Blunts the power of the cultural warriors.

[Michael Carey @MichaeCarey]

@siobhanheanue However well he presents himself for the rest of the presser, those stumbles are the sound bites

[Michael Carey @MichaeCarey]

@AVARY @Variety Vivid memories of the whole NE ensemble. Acting may be a pain, but that show - and the characters - were a delight.

[Michael Carey @MichaeCarey]

@ninafunnell You’re right. This doesn’t mean the treason/extradition pursuit was ok ( it wasn’t ) but there are strands of the Assange saga which are very ugly

[Michael Carey @MichaeCarey]

For the record; exposing atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan? Great and important.

2016 US election and a clearing house for Moscow agitprop? Not so great
