All I can say is thank goodness Australia’s Scotty James didn’t win gold at the Winter Olympics. His silver win has made him painfully insufferable enough. What an unashamed narcissist. Someone teach the boy the meaning of the word humility. Please! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

The heartache of 'almost' strikes again for Scotty James
Scotty James has sought what resides at the end of the Olympic rainbow his whole career. But for the third time, he's had to settle for the numbing pain of almost being an Olympic champion.

Despite feeling sad re: James VDB's death, I wish the millions of people living in under-developed, war & poverty stricken countries could raise a million bucks to help support their families. Even in death, it still helps to be white, male and privileged. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

David Speers should be f**king ashamed of the way he outright bullied and patronised Larissa Waters - who was answering questions in a totally honest, relevant manner - on #QandA this morning. What an arrogant prick. Honestly. @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @larissawaters.bsky.social #

Regardless of Erin Patterson’s guilt or innocence, Dr Chris Webster seems like an opportunistic narcissist that has been dying for his 15 min of fame these past few months. The misogyny & sensationalism in this case has been absolutely unrelenting. #ErinPatterson #MushroomTrial

Calling tonight’s Four Corners episode ‘Generation Cancer’ wasn’t in the slightest bit sensationalist or alarmist was it @abcaustralia.bsky.social ?? #FourCorners #ABCAustralia #4Corners

Does anyone know how the incredible Richard Scolyer @richardscolyer.bsky.social is doing? I noticed his socials have been quiet for the last fortnight or so. Thinking of him.

OMG. -128 votes in it in #Goldstein after a full count of two-party preferred and first preferences. Now to the full distribution of preferences. Could this get any more suspenseful??! FARK! Come on @zoedaniel.bsky.social - we're all behind you!! #Auspol #AusVotes2025

So does anyone know if #Goldstein has been officially called for Tim Wilson? The margin has been sitting at 206 as of last Friday and I can't find anything anywhere that confirms he has officially been declared the winner? #Auspol #AusVotes2025 #AustraliaVotes2025

How steadfast are they on this cut-off though? Surely if it's within a whisker of a margin of 100, Zoe would be rightfully entitled to request a recount?

Oh my farking god! So the votes are going to be swiftly whisked off the plane from Nairobi and counted tonight to make the AEC's deadline???! You couldn't make this shit up!!

Jen Clark @jenclarkwrites.bsky.social · 16/05/2025
Right. Yes that makes sense. Surely given the relatively minuscule difference at this point there’s grounds for a recount regardless of how things progress?

Jen Clark @jenclarkwrites.bsky.social · 16/05/2025
Thank you for the sage advice. I will safely assume there are anything from 400 to 8000 votes left to count and basically anything could happen.

Jen Clark @jenclarkwrites.bsky.social · 16/05/2025
This is crackers! What I can't figure out is how many votes are left to count in Goldstein? Antony Green said only 1200 were left yesterday but another reputable source said 8000. I'm confused!

I've tried & tried & tried to stay on X in some capacity, driven by the desire to not let that platform fall to the Musk/Trump sycophants, but after seeing some of the toxic content on there today, I just can't do it anymore. Has anyone retired their X acct for good & not looked back?

Fun random fact: Erin Patterson of the ‘mushroom murders’ case is currently being held in the same detention facility - in the same high-security unit - as Malka Leifer of the child sex abuse case at the Adass Israel school in Melbourne. Oh to be a fly on THAT wall!

I suspect my responses to you are screaming into the void somewhat, as you seem like a rusted-on ALP supporter. That’s fine. I’m not interested in ‘winning’ here, honestly. I just wanted to state that just because a dog doesn’t bite, doesn’t mean it’s friendly. The ALP could offer so much more.

I have AS (Ankylosing Spondylitis) and am autistic / adhd. My partner and son are also autistic. My son has an NDIS plan (& is home-educated F/T). I don’t qualify. While I’m very grateful for the NDIS, there have been enormous cuts to this under Albo, causing huge stress / distress to many.

Jen Clark @jenclarkwrites.bsky.social · 28/04/2025
I think that what the ALP has ‘under the hood’ is highly subjective Dean. If you’re a farmer, have a disability or chronic illness, are a woman, homeless or a firm believer in climate change, ‘under the hood’ is looking quite empty at the moment.

Jen Clark @jenclarkwrites.bsky.social · 28/04/2025
No - that was not what my post was saying at all. I’ll vote independent / Greens, but my gosh it’d be nice to see a more spirited, courageous campaign (and policy set) from the ALP. So flat, vanilla and robotic.

Epstein, Trump, Prince Andrew…the list goes on…did this. Entitled white men & their gargantuan egos & penchant for rape did this. This is what happens when you give up all hope of justice ever being served. ALL hope. RIP Virginia. You deserved so much better. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

As far as I’m concerned the American Democratic Party is as responsible for Trump’s victory as he is. They almost certainly knew he cheated and did precisely ZERO about it. He said ‘jump!’, they said ‘how high?’. They believe in democracy in theory, just not in practice & now we’re all f**ked.
