I’m curious: do you still have a Twitter account, and if so, why?

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago. Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.) Those are months and months of 20+ point leads for Tories.

I’ve always wanted to do this. Sci Fi road safety campaign on a shoestring. Homage to the Burma Shave ads that featured on Highway 61 from the 1920s to the 1960s.

Lesson for this Trump tariff shakedown bullshit is that you can call him up and say "well okay, we'll do [list of things we're already doing], that's a really good idea" and he will take that as a win. It's like putting a blanket over a budgie's cage

You know that occasional feeling you have when a book seems to have been written with you specifically in mind? This is profound and unputdownable. Thanks @drspacejunk.bsky.social

The French were the original advocates of en plein air painting. Decided to give it a go today. Quite happy with the result. It’s called ‘Spock visits an Air BNB in Switzerland’. $399.99.

Idly wondering whether there’s someone in the writer’s room for Skeleton Crew who knows that SM-33 is also the name of an Australian mouth ulcer treatment and hasn’t let on.

I wrote to the owners of SIM City this morning, requesting a virtual twinning with the small rural town of Fingal, Tasmania this morning. Looking forward to their reply.

I listen to the BBC Loose Ends podcast every week. I enjoy the truncated version of live songs (20 seconds or so for rights reasons). This week’s shortened ‘Don’t need persuading’ by New Starts is an all-time classic. I might start a band called For Rights Reasons.

Several years ago I created the idea of a giant concrete banana in the town of Banana in Queensland. Limited offer: If a crypto billionaire wants to buy it, I’ll accept $6.2 million. I wouldn’t recommend eating it though. More details here: www.news.com.au/travel/austr...
