Me on the footplate of the only Australian-built #tractionengine still operating (part of @museumsvictoria Transport Collection), steering all 12.5 tonnes through a tight turn with obligatory kerb mount & dismount. Didn't crush it 😂 #STEMhist #HeritageSteam #CowleyOnParade

@KylePollard 💯 with you #SBSEurovision

The Käärijä vs Baby Lasange battle might be the best thing I’ve ever seen at #Eurovision #Eurovision2025 #SBSEurovision

@seemasvarma Two Kings #SBSEurovision

Omg the king is back!!! #SBSEurovision #Eurovision2025

@sirkumference @MichelleMackey1 Yes. And that sometimes happens.

@tildsvaughan @MichelleMackey1 N’aww. In a couch battle with that cutie, I would definitely end up sitting in the floor.

I’m equal parts blown away by what @SpaceX accomplished this morning but also with THIS LIVE 4K PRODUCTION the Everyday Astronaut / @considercosmos team produced! These shots live… unbelievable 🤯 just wait till we get our slow mo compilation up 👀 #starship #flight5 #IFT5
