"Hey look - someone interacted with me on BlueSky!" Of course it's a bot. Selling adult content.

"When we've fought the battle bravely and are beaten to the wall, tis the sneers of men, not conscience, that makes cowards of us all" - The Shame of Going Back, Lawson

"See the army of the rebels Marching in for evermore We are countless as the pebbles That are strewn along the shore. Agitating, agitating, Till the Truth has sealed the fate Of the wrongs that I am hating with the grand old hate" - Lawson, The Labour Agitator

Buying some socks. It makes me sad that the #Bluey socks only come in kids size.

Back then you could launch a whole brand new comic and your lineup on the cover could be "Native American Person With Belt, Glowy Shadow, Asian Girl: Powers TBR, Flying Poutface and A Dog." You didn't even need one of the Spider-Mans. You could just do that. They'd let you.

@peterbrent.bsky.social where are your posts about SA?? You disappoint me sir! 😢

@worldsofdrwho.bsky.social Hey what's the best way to watch old skool Dr Who? Is it streamed anywhere?

If you, like me, are concerned about the direction our country will go if a Trump Tower is built in our country, then join me in objecting! petitions.getup.org.au/petitions/st... @getup.org.au

Continuing the #snes theme, trying #secretofmana. This is a weird action/rpg mix. Feels like Square Enix trying Zelda? Also - it's two players? #rpg

Finished #snes #shadowrun! I had not appreciated how much the atmosphere did heavy lifting in this game. Still fun though. And the soundtrack is still excellent. It ends with a teaser for Shadowrun II. Sad. I did try to buy this game in he 90s, but could not find it anywhere

I never realised that #snes #shadowrun has "dermal plating", and that it looks like a metal bum.

"All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things" Am re-reading (listening to) Frankenstein. The above line caught me.

I do love #snes #shadowrun

Relatable. #Smbc #SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal

This week’s cartoon, by Oslo Davis: satpa.pe/FG8JYOu

I listened to this audiobook of #TimWinton #TheRiders. It's from the early 90s. Imagine my surprise to learn that filming for a film version, starring Brad Pitt and produced by Ridley Scott, has just commenced. But central to the book is that the protagonist, who will be played by Pitt, is ugly.

With a writing career spanning more than half a century, John Wagner is quite rightly regarded as one of the all-time greats of comics! This week he joins Mike Molcher for the start of an expansive three-part interview about his incredible life in comics ▶️ https://bit.ly/4qiV1K5

@peterbrent.bsky.social So you've been unnaturally quiet about Randa Abdel-Fattah. What's your take? Is there nuance being lost in this?

"Look, the U.S. has not got a perfect record. There’s no doubt about that, and it has betrayed its values many times, but this is of a different order. This is just a blatant throwing-the-whole-thing-out and making a claim to be able to use force whenever it wants." - @oonahathaway.bsky.social

The thing I hate most about #whamageddon is that I'm always playing it even though I don't want to

@frededison.bsky.social The concept of needing to prepare for a war with Russia is... unpleasant 😳 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

@peterbrent.bsky.social You know, what I'm not looking forward to is when Hastie replaces Ley, says "we're all very right wing now" (probably with something veiled about climate change being fake), then gets a bump in the polls from ditching Ley. Which will be trumpeted as "See? Moderates suck"

RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

Just learned that Rebecca "Burger" Heineman died 😢

Ah..happy days

#Oasis were great live. I was never a huge fan, but I could always appreciate their musical significance. A real 90s music moment.

“If we want to have an honest conversation about who we are and how we got here, we’d do well to look beyond the perspectives of prime ministers preoccupied more with their personal legacies than the consequences of centuries of dispossession,” writes Grace Tame. satpa.pe/vlRVI5n

My sleepy 6yo just said "Thank you for everything" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just passed an 80yo woman with a pronounced stoop doing the hula-hoop in the mall, so she could get a free doughnut. I've found a new life goal #notallheroeswearcapes

My 6yo announced he wants 10,000 babies. I asked if he really liked babies. He said no, he just wants an army to rule the world. He is now proceeding to describe the battles fought by his baby army on his behalf.

@peterbrent.bsky.social So what do you make of Barnaby going to ON? He must have lost a lot of standing in the Nats to even consider it He'll prob keep his seat no matter what party he's in. I guess the Q is whether he can stop ON constantly imploding, or it just becomes another KAP

It's a sad state of affairs when the strongest rebuke of Trunk* that I've seen for a while was in a Netflix version of the Twits. *autocorrect did this, and I'm not fixing it

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

I ❤️ Viz
