I think I will devote the rest of my time here to teaching my descendants to tolerably digest coarse grasses and remembering what wildlife was like.

Got a trip coming up. Going to use the 54321 packing method followed by the add 17 other things method.

@chasedownleads missed the boat here mate

@evcricket Been a huge deal in the circles I move in for about six months. Hard to know what you're getting, and more investigations to come.

Hasn't seen this before We tested the SPF claims of 20 sunscreens. 16 failed share.google/LHzI7gBIfarEum…

Housing affordability in capital cities is a screaming emergency. It is choking young australians, destroying their life plans and careers and changing what this country will look like in the next decade. Comments like these about selling high value defence land are a disgrace.

Speaking of ice, I like how the Davos podium - all matte white and curved edge - calls to mind a melting arctic.

"It's a very big piece of...ice." Trump, on Greenland, during Q&A following his Davos address.

@egadheg @misskylie77 Consequences could be more serious if a business analyst got a job as a casual vet nurse.

@misskylie77 Good question but I would guess casual vet nurse was a lifestyle choice and they already had the requisite skills/qualifications to get the higher paid job. Or nepotism!

Enticing offer that gmail has placed in the promotions folder: "Spend $499 or more, and add a candle for $79"

Dog, fed up with politics, refuses to get up at state dinner

@Caolanmcaree Also building a tiny house and living off grid.

Happy to hear Kate Middleton is recovering well, somewhat confused that she's releasing a Folk Album, but good for her.

Here is my entry in the campfire story competition over at @weareexplorers_ It's a 100% true and 90% humiliating tale of the night I spent in a dunny hiding from crocs. My reputation is going to take a hit (please vote for me, or anyone). moments.weareexplorers.co/portfolio/item…
