So was the supposed White House Correspondents Dinner assassin the mysterious colonel rescued from Iran, or the former president who allegedly agreed with Trump's conduct of the war?

I was out in the garden today shredding up rubbish into mulch, and my thoughts turned to billionaires. That's it. That's the tweet.

I don’t think it unreasonable to suggest Tony Abbott and his cabinet be placed in the stocks and ridiculed in every town and city in the country for the next decade, or until he apologises for setting Australia’s transition from fossil fuels back by two decades. Abbott was wrong. #AusPol

Current head of the US regime, Donald Trump, has withdrawn his offer of asylum to members of the Iranian women's football team after discovering that they're all over 14 years old.

Halfway through this year's colouring-in Advent calendar from @mooseallain.bsky.social (Mrs Kobold and I do alternate days)

The picture shows a colorful holiday-themed scene laid out on a flat dark surface. At the top sits an open red cardboard box of “Faber-Castell 36 Classic Colour Pencils.” Several sharpened colored pencils are visible through the opening, arranged neatly in rows. The box looks a bit worn, with some creases and small tears. Resting beside it is a black fineliner pen.

Below the box is a hand-colored illustration printed on white paper. It’s an Advent-calendar-style artwork titled “World of Moose – Bigfoot Advent 2025.” The drawing is filled with many small cartoon Bigfoot characters scattered across the page, each labeled with a number from 1 to 24. The Bigfoots are drawn in a humorous, friendly style, with round bodies, furry limbs, and winter clothing like boots, parkas, scarves, and hats. Some are carrying presents, others are decorating trees, and a few are doing silly activities like sitting, dancing, or holding stars.

Many of the figures are partially or fully colored in with colored pencils—soft shades of green, blue, red, yellow, and brown. The trees around them, mostly tall evergreen shapes, are also lightly colored. Some Bigfoots are left uncolored, giving the page a mix of finished and unfinished areas.

Scattered between the characters are small festive doodles: wrapped gifts, baubles, stars, candy canes, and little snowballs. The overall feeling is playful, cozy, and wintery, as if each Bigfoot is participating in its own tiny holiday scene.

At the bottom corners, the words “World of Moose” and the website “worldofmoose.com” are written in small handwriting.

Well, I'm obviously an official old git because not a single social media platform has asked me to verify my age today. Kind of disappointed in a way, even if the whole idea should be yeeted into the sun.

Flying out of Brisbane the other day we saw a whole bunch of blokes all cosplaying as their favourite little football guys getting on a plane. Turns out they *were* the favourite little football guys that all the other blokes cosplay as. Happy Football Cosplay Day to those that celebrate #NRL #GF

Caught the tail end of today's March For Australia in Sydney today. What a crowd of gravel-voiced meth-heads and boomers with IQs smaller than their shoe-size. Representatives of an Australia that deserves to be swept into the dustbin of history. #MarchForAustralia

Some more 1/1200th coastal forces vessels, scratchbuilt from lolly-sticks, matchsticks, card and wire. First are some Siebel ferries (three transport and an AA variant) and then a German destroyer. #wargames #wargaming #nerdlings #navalwargaming

A new army for 'Hordes of the Things' - the Green Martians of Barsoom. It's actually my second Green Martian army, and my eighth Barsoomian army for HOTT. Only took me 12 years from buying the figures to actually finishing it. Figures from Peter Pig. #Wargames #Wargaming #Barsoom #Nerdlings
