Sorry BT. I know you’re desperate for a Victorian team to get in the GF but can you keep it out of the call on #7AFL

Brian from Port @brianfromport.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

While I understand that Nick Daixos is a wonderful player of immense skill, it will be nice to have the AFL commentariat having to find other things to talk about for the remainder of the finals potentially refreshing. #AFL #BulldogsPies

I just read Altered Carbon. 1 of 2. Highly relevant So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here - it is slow and cold, and it is theirs.

I am saddened hearing of the passing of #SamNeil. His posts on twitter during the COVID lockdowns from his farm were charming and made me smile. A true gentleman.

As an educator I was asked to predict the state of origin by my students. My response was the QLD would win the series otherwise they’d sook it up. After watching the QLD news (while visiting Mum), turns out I was right about 1 of the 2.

I've been impressed with the quality of the football during the World Cup. However the sheer volume of flopping and rolling around is disappointing. I never realised how many delicate shins there are. #WorldCup

My 82 year old mum watches a lot of Sky news. I spent a week with her after a cardiac event. All I heard was how bad the CGT changes are going to be, and we should be breaking out the Molotov cocktails. The effect that Murdoch has had on the planet cannot be underestimated.

I just heard a brilliant analogy of the Trump presidency. “It’s like voting for a guy who promises free pizza but when he turns up he robs your house, eats the pizza and demands a 5 star rating on yelp”.

I know he’s buggered. It’s hard work scuppering The Voice referendum, actively bringing down the 1st female Lib leader, walking away from net zero, being pro mining and fracking (against farmers wishes). The only positive was you kept Barnaby out of the job. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Afl is much more satisfying when you mute Brian Taylor and stream the ABC commentary to complement the images.

I know that Trump wouldn’t have thought of this but he may have made Venezuela investable again by cutting off oil in the Gulf.

If anyone has been watching the series fallout the timing of this was incredible

If Ley resign and Angus Taylor becomes the Liberal leader, Albo should buy a lottery ticket.

Problem is that the voters of this country disagreed. Keep throwing the toys out of the cot. This is really showing how irrelevant you and your mates are. I think the Libs should walk away and contest some of these seats in ‘28. They’d win a few and consign this mob to the dustbin of history.

Just saw an article about a baker producing these. Despite the MAGA crowd calling the Libs snowflakes, they are howling long and loud about them. Business at the Sweet Boutique is booming. 👍

I think he said Greta Thunberg was a bit earlier. This makes his parody in South Park all the more relevant.

Just heard an introduction to a BBC World News programme “ Is the Pope woke?”. Remember when being woke simply meant that you were slightly aware and concerned about the shit-show that was unfolding around you?

Brian from Port @brianfromport.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

I can’t see a way out for anyone who opposes Trump. They’ll vote next year but won’t win because the seats are gerrymandered even more. They may protest, but ICE and troops will be deployed. I’m sorry but it may take a lot of blood to change this outcome. When 40% don’t vote this seems inevitable.

These will soon be stranded assets. China and India are rolling out solar at staggering rates. Including storage.

The Trump administration's motto seems to be that anyone who contradicts them will be called names. This highlights the immaturity of this government. I'd like to say Levitt needs counselling, but to be honest, I think an exorcism would be better. Don't know how those crosses don't burn her.

Brian from Port @brianfromport.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

A lot of reposts from @thesaturdaypaper.com.au regarding Credlins & Abbotts oversized influence in the Liberal party. I’m good with it. Provided the ALP is not consumed by hubris they could beat Pig Iron Bob’s record for the longest term in government. #auspol

Brian from Port @brianfromport.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Read a great line in the paper today about why the Nats are keen to renegotiate now to get their perks back. "Never stand in the way of a National MP & a white car"

Brian from Port @brianfromport.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

I can’t help but feel that the Nationals realised that they’d go to minor party status and lose entitlements, staff, and remuneration with this “split”. As a result, they hit the panic button and told Littleproud to reopen talks with Ley. Unsure why farmers vote for them they’re a miners party now

My hope in the next few days is that the Sky after dark pundits give 2 pieces of advice to the Coalition: 1. Make Angus Taylor the leader 2. Move your policies further to the right.

After the gym I buy my dad and myself a coffee. Sometimes, we split a fruit toast with. When I hand over $20 still get 50c change. When I'm asked for extra it'll be my last. No beef with the cafe, great owner, hires plenty of people. Can't afford any more than that. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Two things I’d like to see on the #7afl coverage. No more than 5 gambling ads per hour and stop the excessive hyperbole with the intro narration. I’m barracking for Brisbane because Collingwood.

I don’t often barrack for Port Adelaide in the AFL. But hats off for tonight’s display against Hawthorn, a team I utterly despise.

If you think we can negotiate with Trump, think again. He is a bully, and a bully's aim is to humiliate others and elevate themselves.
