About to broadcast live from Botanic Gardens of Sydney on 702 ABC Radio Sydney - join me from 3-5pm for Corpse Flower Radio!

Congrats vic zerbst Jenna Owen and Charles Firth on Ep 1 of Optics – very sharp with some great jokes. Really excited to watch the rest!

Got my first scam call where the guy from the call centre overseas knew my name – supposedly from the “Amazon security department”. Thanks so much Optus Medibank or whichever company’s security errors has led to them getting my name and mobile number.

There are so many weird things about property in Australia. Your house will come with a dryer, but definitely not a washing machine – instead they’ll supply a little tub that you will almost never use.

Sure, $60 million is a lot of money, but such a high level of unintentional hilarity is surely priceless

Extraordinary that ⁦Jeffrey Goldberg⁩ just got an interview with Donald Trump after all that went down – and noting that he has a mobile phone!

If you get a scam call on your iPhone, just press the waveform icon on the top left of the screen and it’ll say “This call is being recorded”. They’ll hang up immediately.

Albolanche?!

Why do so many my apps now have bloaty, increasingly in-your-face AI features that I’ve no interest in using? (What do you think, Grok?)

I feel I visit the GP less since it started costing money. Even though it’s below $100, and I get about half back, I’m noting that in those lineball situations, I’ll wait another day or so before booking. Maybe that’s the idea…

Very sad to see sydneymusic.net is closing its doors. They have done an incredible job of covering Sydney’s recovering music scene and I’ve loved having them on radio this year. Really hope a solution can be found. sydneymusic.net/reads/sydneymu…

oh brother

Truth Social has crashed from the traffic surge and in so doing accidentally created a hauntingly poignant image.

Congrats, Elon Musk. Twitter hasn’t been this interesting in years.

At his best, Brian Wilson was as good as songwriting gets. Such a gift for melody and harmony — God Only Knows of course, but In My Room, Sloop John B, Wouldn’t It Be Nice, Caroline No, You Still Believe In Me, Wind Chimes, Don’t Worry Baby – so many memories and car singalongs.

So mean to daddy

Very excited that my most recent book is now free on the ABC Listen app! Wish they’d found someone better to read it though. abc.net.au/listen/audiobo…

There is a moral for our times in this sordid story. A lesson we can take on board in a world where cameras are everywhere and content can go viral in an instant… don’t go to a Coldplay gig.

Quick, someone alert Coldplay!
