DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 19hComplete and unabridged is thre only way to read this monstrous Stephen King classic. Still a gripping story, but rereading it as an adult I appreciated the character development as well. #books #booksky #bskybooks #horror 0120
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 27/09/2026A mango gose from Cheeky Monkey. Not too sweet, this would be a magnificent beer on a warm day #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 051
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Ripple, in Beaconsfield, has produced this really nice, slightly sweet, ESB. Surprisingly good! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0121
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Not your typical season diary... from a grafter and deep thinker, rather than a superstar. A very relatable read. #books #booksky #bskybooks #sport #cricket 050
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The most ridiculous of beers... a brut IIIIIPA (that's right, that was 5x). 15%, very crisp, magnificently bitter. Possibly the only brut I've ever actually enjoyed! 😂 #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0131
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 23/09/2026A rye red IPA from Hop Nation. This is one of the better versions I've had, enjoyed the smooth malts, not overpowered by the sharp rye taste. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0122
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Cooper's Vintage is back for 2026, and this is a good year. Lovely drop. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 052
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Rereading Animal Farm as an adult, and with a better grasp of history, I got a lot more out of it. What an incredible story. This edition from 1954 was picked up in a neighbourhood Buy Nothing group. It's hanging in there, but barely! #books #booksky #bskybooks #classics 080
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It's not clear who this book was for... too focussed on single arguments from debates and essays, and generally dismissive of creationists. I love examining misinformation and how it can be fought, but this isn't the way. #books #booksky #bskybooks #science #religion #evolution 050
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 17/09/2026A decent midstrength red ale from Tasmania. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0303
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Artemis has a very familiar style to The Martian (Weir's first book), and though it tries to recreate the same humour and heart, it doesn't get there for me. I'll give him another shot with Project Hail Mary very soon. #books #booksky #bskybooks #scifi 090
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Heading home after the weekend, and stopped in at Kulin... where I was delighted to find an extensive street library just outside the tractor museum! #books #booksky #bskybooks 080
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 11/09/2026First beer at a wheatbelt wedding is going down very nicely. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 050
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 10/09/2026A really touching book about a convict and his anxious dog, from Melbourne author Michelle Wright. #books #booksky #bskybooks 050
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Freestyle Brewing are the kings of hazy IPAs in Perth. This double oat cream is slightly sweet, and coats the tongue beautifully. In other words, perfect! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 020
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Rematched Spinal Tap recently, and thoroughly enjoyed it. This book tells the story behind the making of the movie, and helps me appreciate it even more. It hasn't compelled me to see the sequel yet though. #books #booksky #bskybooks #music #humour 090
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I really love a bourbon barrell aged stout... and Sierra Nevada haven't let me down. I haven't had a Narwhal in many years, and I'm glad I came back to it. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0102
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Vintage 90s sci-fi police procedural... saved only by the evangelical police chief protagonist, who was violent, corrupt and immoral. He was the only interesting part of the story, though thoroughly unlikeable. #books #booksky #bskybooks #scifi 160
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Well, they promised me a nitro stout with dark fruit and gingerbread flavours, and they delivered. Easily the most interesting beer I've ever had from Spinifex. This was great. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 071
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Lazy Truffle Pig, a Belgian quad, with truffles, from Evil Mega Corp. The truffles were subtle, but it's a very nice beer! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 081
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Another of the excellent series of Belgian style beers I've been having recently, this time from Victoria. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0111
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Red IPAs are possibly my favourite style, but not common these days. New local brewery Seabreeze has this absolute classic in its range. A perfect example of the style, I love it. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 1101
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Well, I never thought I'd see Nazis and antisemitism making such a comeback, it makes this novel about an orphan in the Warsaw ghetto even more poignant. #books #booksky #bskybooks #WW2 020
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I'm a sucker for sporting memoirs, and this one was fine... but bloated and a little self-serving. I've discovered, for example, that if anything, Ponting was *too much* of a team player. 😂 #books #booksky #bskybooks #sport #cricket 040
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 22/08/2026A Russian imperial stout from Bassendean. 11.1%, and magnificent. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0343
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The extreme ends of the city (Mandurah and Mindarie) combine to produce this classic IIPA. Nothing hazy and sweet about this, just sharp grapefruit flavours, and lingering bitterness. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 091
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 18/08/2026A very hazy mid from Seeker. Slightly thin, but a beer I'm happy to go back for. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 2211
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 16/08/2026A collection of newspaper columns from Australian journalist/broadcaster Rochard Glover that was... fine. #books #booksky #bskybooks 050
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Two Metre Tall, from Tasmania, with this magnificent sour. Brilliantly crisp and tart, it was worth waiting the 7 years it spent in a barrell! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0151
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I wasn't sure I really understood Cali IPAs until now... this is delightful. Turns out I just needed a triple 😉. From Rocky Ridge, in Busselton. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0131
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Re-reading Lord of the Flies for the first time in 30 years, with this vintage 1969 edition from a street library. Starts slow, and I was doubting my memory of it at first, but the 2nd half is riveting. #books #booksky #bskybooks #classics 090
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Artisan and Nail created this fantastic brown ale, with just a hint of Belgian flavour. Glad I have a 2nd can of this! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 071
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Rocky Ridge, eclectic as always, with 40 different beers on tap. The highlight this time were a raspberry and chocolate white stout, and bourbon barrel aged Dirty Bitch, their annual imperial stout. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0151
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Bryson uses each room in his house to tell the story of the origins of modern life. It didn't all connect clearly at times, but the slow, slightly rambling nature of the book means this doesn't matter. Very interesting! #books #booksky #bskybooks #history 170
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Hogg Culture in Kalamunda have produced this very nice Belgian Dubbel. True to the style, with plenty of malts and fruit. Enjoying it more than I'm enjoying the Wallabies struggle against Japan. 😟 #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 071
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 07/08/2026A big IIPA, more pale than expected, but warm and resinous. Reminds me of the peak era of IPAs. It was a simpler time... like when the stupidest thing Trump had done was stare at an eclipse. 😉 #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 040
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 05/08/2026A hazy IPA from Evil Mega Corp. Very pleasant, nicely balanced. Though nondescript, which is off brand! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0121
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 01/08/2026An imperial black pilsner, from Evil Mega Corp. A little smoky, more bitter than expected, this was interesting. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 061
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Released 30 years ago today, this is still my all time favourite album. And even more extraordinary considering the challenges they faced at the time. #music #grunge #AIC #AliceInChains 020
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 29/07/2026My copy of Thinner by @stephenking.bsky.social was lost to time, so when I saw this old edition in a 2nd hand bookstore in Manjimup, so it was a pleasure to reread. Really dark. Compromised characters. And very rich and fleshed out, despite being quite short! #books #booksky #bskybooks #horror 150
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 25/07/2026A quite sweet chocolate marshmallow porter from Deep Elite Brewing. A decent drop for after dinner on a winter's night. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0111
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Picked up this book that was discarded by someone else while on holiday, and unfortunately it didn't exceed expectations. Didn't find the premise or the science/technology especially convincing. And the story was just ok. But it gets bafflingly high ratings! #books #booksky #bskybooks ##scifi 280
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 19/07/2026A surprisingly readable discussion of dual process theory, and its influence on the biases and heuristics that made Kahneman a giant in cognitive psychology. Recommended for anyone curious about the mistakes we all make in our thinking. #books #booksky #bskybooks #science #psychology 070
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Interesting timing, having just read this. The collection certainly shows its age, especially with some of the racist and homophobic slang used by characters throughout. But is arguably his most influential work, and very relevant to young people. The Guardian share.google/iFBYqRSAu0xw...share.googleUtah bans Stephen King novella collection from public schoolsDifferent Seasons, which incudes stories that inspired films such as Stand by Me and The Shawshank Redemption, judged to contain ‘objective sensitive material’ 000
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 15/07/2026A tasty stout from Dune Brewing, and sensibly only 4.5%. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 0131
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 12/07/2026An old edition of this @stephenking.bsky.social classic popped up in the local 2nd hand book store, and my first copy is lost to time, so it was a pleasure to reread this. More general fiction than horror, but they didn't let on from the cover! #books #booksky #bskybooks 070
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 10/07/2026A short hike along the Bibbulmun this arvo, followed by another couple of great local SW beers. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 061
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Loved Shroud, by @aptshadow.bsky.social, as a holiday read. Gripping, dark and moody. Really ambiguous too, you're not quite sure what a happy ending is. My kind of science fiction. #books #booksky #bskybooks #scifi 080
DJ @ausdj2.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Dune Brewing, from Albany, WA. The colour beautifully matches the colour of the can. And it's a great fruity drop. Nice start to a rural getaway with cows and kangaroos. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer 071
