I just watched the segment on @abc730 about other countries looking to follow Australia’s lead with a social media ban for children. I think it would be pertinent for @abc730 to scrutinise whether the ban in Australia has actually worked, if they haven’t already

Sad to hear of the passing of Bud Cort. Harold and Maude was a cinematic masterpiece and a long time favourite movie of mine from a very early age. Classic Cat Stevens soundtrack as well. #RIP

Hi @NRL when do tickets for round 2 of the season go on sale?

@susancrabtree @JDHaltigan I sat across from one of Kamala’s secret service members on that flight and about 4 rows behind her. There would have been over 20 of them that got to depart the flight before anyone else. TBH, no one had any idea who she was, people kept asking why we were taking photos

@GemmaTognini You don’t mean that…

@GrayConnolly Hi @GrayConnolly thanks for sharing, it’s a wonderful insight into the life of an extraordinary Australian.
Did you attend Riverview as well? With your permission I’d like to share this with my son’s House Master there

@GrayConnolly My G-G Grandfather Sergeant Major James Mitchell left Tenterfield for the Boer War at age 58 and died of his injuries at Elands River 6 months later. They’re the forgotten heroes in a somewhat forgotten war here in Australia:

@rickygervais @lsqtheatre Are you coming Down Under (Australia) @rickygervais? Please say yes 🙏

[Jon McConkey @jonmcconkey]

@uaustinorg @nfergus @WillKingston @SpectatorOz @bariweiss That’s great, thank you

[Jon McConkey @jonmcconkey]

@WillKingston @nfergus @SpectatorOz @uaustinorg @bariweiss Thanks to you @WillKingston, I’m really enjoying your conversations

Just watched #BRATS the @AndrewTMcCarthy doco. I get the feeling they (he) simply overthought the term and chose not to revel in it. To me, the “Rat Pack” was those cool old guys, & the “Brat Pack”, was the cool young actors emerging in the 80s. It’s all entertainment, I guess🤷‍♂️

@katherine_deves Beautiful photo Kath! Congrats

[Jon McConkey @jonmcconkey]

@ProfKarolSikora I’d urge everyone to heed warning signs early. My 53yo sister suffered seizures in April last year & had surgery to remove a brain tumour. Subsequent tests discovered Glioblastoma & she passed last Friday. All happened so quickly.
Thank you for the work you do @ProfKarolSikora

I hope this new Sky News Program #TheJury succeeds. Debate between two parties with opposing views is increasingly rare these days in the media. As a society, we need ideas and mindsets to be challenged.
Best of luck @DanicaDeGiorgio
