@meghan_daum @sarahhepola Well holy shit. That I never realised

@sarahhepola Someone who thinks they'll sell their novel for enough money to buy real estate.

Realize this isn’t the most pressing issue, but when Billy Joel sings in “Piano Man” that someone is a “real-estate novelist” —- what is that?

@fadule_ Strong agree

Harry Potter movies ranked: Tier 3 - you don’t need to watch these ever again 8. Sorceror’s Stone 7. Order Of The Phoenix 6. Deathly Hallows Part 1 Tier 2 - these are great on TV especially between December 26th-30th 5. Chamber Of Secrets 4. Half-Blood Prince Tier 1 - you should watch these once a year the rest of your life 3. Goblet Of Fire 2. Deathly Hallows Part II 1. Prisoner Of Azkaban

@CinemaTweets1 I was thinking this recently. Between Chernobyl and Expanse and the Terror he quietly became one of the best actors going around in some seriously brilliant shows

Jared Harris is in two of the best shows ever made: Mad Men & Chernobyl. Now, I know Chernobyl is a limited series & Mad Men is not, but after just rewatching Mad Men recently, it really stood out to me that Harris is a key role in two impeccable shows. He’s an excellent actor.

@BBCWorld Very sad. Vale to a good man

@sarobertsonca Apologise for Nickleback

PM Mark Carney: "Canada's the third largest exporter of music in the world. It's a huge industry. But really at the core of it, it's our stories, it's our emotions, and it's our heart. At a time when the world really needs more of Canada."

@mastersinvest Strong agree mate. We should be proud of this bloke. One of us and doing incredible things. I wish him all the best

Terry Tao was in my class at primary school. I was 11. He was four years younger, doing the same science, history and English as the rest of us — while simultaneously doing university-level maths. It's a pity most Australians don't know who he is. Many consider him to have the highest IQ of any living person — estimated at 220-230, compared to Einstein's 160. An Adelaide boy. Arguably the greatest mind alive.

@mwupfront That and the spitfire sawflies. They seemed to be a constant threat as a kid and I haven't seen or heard of them since

non-australians will never know the childhood experience of the school oval being out of bounds for a month cuz of plovers nesting and all the schoolground rumours being abt that one classmate that had to go to the hospital cuz he tried to fetch a ball and got attacked

@DanClarkSports I fucking love this country. You're all a bunch of stupid bogans and I wouldn't want it any different

In many Australian pro sports, when a major record or milestone is achieved, thousands of fans storm the field (and go unpunished). A few hours ago, these absolutely wild scenes occurred when Alex Johnston broke the all-time record for the most NRL (rugby league) tries...

@sciencegirl Unannounced knocking at doors. It was fun to randomly drop by to a friend's place and see what was going on. Likewise getting a knock at the door

People who actually experienced the 1990s: What is something you miss from that decade that just isn't the same today

@TheMossadIL Thank you I needed that laugh

We knew we shouldn't have made the F-35 with 14 seats.

@stats_feed Why 42?

If you could ask the universe one question and be guaranteed a truthful answer, what would you ask?

@echoesofworld Beautiful part of the world but like 150kms from Sydney

Gerringong, Sydney

@buitengebieden Spectacular. Where is it?

Australian sunset.. 😊

@MarkJCarney @AlboMP You're very welcome. Great to have you here mate. Canadians will always be greeted warmly

Landed in Canberra to meet with Prime Minister @AlboMP. This is the first bilateral visit by a Canadian PM to Australia in two decades. In a more uncertain world, we turn to our long-standing partners who share our values and our ambition to build.

@AntonyGreenElec Got to be up there with the best train stations in the world

Just cos I’m here. It’s a bit special.

@GSpellchecker Oh RIP to a brilliant man. Loved the books and the show. He brought a lot of light into my life

Rob Grant (1955–2026). Sad news. I was a huge fan of Red Dwarf growing up, and I loved the novels too. I always felt the one Grant wrote solo, 'Backwards', was the standout. I was only reading about Rob Grant the other day because he has a new Red Dwarf book coming out this year, which will now, sadly, be his last. When it’s released, I think I’ll sit down with the book, a vindaloo, and possibly several lagers in his honour. Smoke me a kipper.

@sussanley All the best Sussan

This morning, I wrote to the Speaker of the House of Representatives to advise of my immediate resignation from the Parliament as the Federal Member for Farrer. In keeping with my final remarks at Parliament House, I shall not be returning for a valedictory speech. I am confident that my efforts and achievements over 25 years will speak for themselves; as a local member, Minister in four Coalition governments and Leader of the Liberal Party, as well as in the minds of the many people whose lives touched mine along the way. Naturally, I am sad to no longer represent my electorate of Farrer. I love the wide western plains of New South Wales, the country towns along the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers and the thriving cities of Albury and Griffith; communities that it has been my enormous privilege to serve for almost 25 years. At one stage the western edge of Farrer was the entire New South Wales-South Australian border, touching Queensland at Camerons Corner. I certainly appreciated being able to fly myself in a light plane, often into remote airstrips. Every community in Farrer is unique. My approach was that one size does not fit all and I always fought to ensure that all of my constituents, whether they lived in the bigger centres or miles away from them, were treated with the same importance as anyone else, anywhere else across Australia. I came to know the electorate as a candidate, towing the caravan I lived in when I worked in the shearing sheds, up and down the Murray River. I became attached to the landscapes and lifestyles of this part of Australia and was never prouder than when speaking up for our communities in the national Parliament. The people and their stories will always be with me. Farming families battling fires, dust storms, drought and low irrigation allocations; small business owners breathing activity into quiet streets and local volunteers asking for so little but doing so much. And always, always, the wonderful women of western New South Wales — the ones who put themselves last without ever losing heart. I want to acknowledge their strength, their courage, and their sheer, bloody mindedness when fighting for the people they love and the future they deserve. Wherever I travelled in Australia, part of me would miss ‘my people’, the people I always came home to at the end of every long road. I will continue to live in the best part of Australia. After the Liberal Party suffered our worst defeat in 81 years, it was with gratitude and humility that I took on the role of Leader of our Party. I was elected by my parliamentary colleagues and I thank them once again for the opportunity to serve. I believe my election as the first woman to ever lead not just the Federal Liberal Party, but any Federal Opposition, is a milestone for all women to be proud of. I hope I have paved the way for the next woman to be elected to, and succeed in, both these roles. It will be for commentators and historians to measure the period of my leadership, but I am proud that we were instrumental in establishing a Commonwealth Royal Commission into Antisemitism and that we set clear directions on several key policy areas in tax, industrial relations, energy, national security, and families. I welcome the Coalition’s immediate re-adoption of many of these directions and policies in recent days and weeks. The seat of Farrer was created in 1949. At every one of the 30 elections since, through different and challenging circumstances, it has been held without exception by the Liberal Party (for 60 years) and the National Party (for 17 years). The electorate has always been bigger than any one individual and has always been well-served by the Liberal Party. The election of a Liberal Member in the Farrer by-election is vital for the betterment and ongoing strength of our region and I know that Angus Taylor can and will ensure the Party continues to enjoy the support, trust and confidence of the people of Farrer. I wish every single member of the 48th Parliament the best as they work hard to make this country a better place for our children and grandchildren. I am acutely aware that the blessings my six grandchildren enjoy are not shared by every child. In this luckiest country, that is unfinished business for all of us. Australia is best served by Coalition governments and I particularly wish every one of my (now former) colleagues well as they work diligently and determinedly to win government. For me, I have never lost the feeling I had as a young girl, migrating to Australia, stepping off the plane after travelling halfway round the world. A big sky, a big country, a place to dream your biggest dreams. I thank the people of Farrer for the honour of representing them for the last 25 years.

@AppleBear365 Fair play. We deserved that

Hey Australia, we've been waiting for 45 years to get you back for this shit... The time has arrived!

@Peter_Fitz All for it. Think the city would benefit from having a proper town square. Fed square has been great for Melbourne

Sydney-siders: what do you think of the proposal to knock down the buildings opposite Town Hall and make a huge public square right there?

Without telling me your age. What is the first video game you played? GIFS ONLY!!!
