What tickles my brain is how so many relatively rich countries are all having the same problems at the same time.

Housing shortage, affordability crisis, etc

I'm a bees dick away from being a conspiracy nut.

    Rather than specific band/performer I'd have a run through

    Triple J's Hottest Australian songs of all time. Of course, it's highly debatable, and may have recency bias

    For a different -and maybe much broader- take worth checking out is this mix. It's only about 2 hours long and takes a popular Aussie song of each year from 1971 to 2026. You will hear songs that would never be recommended to you otherwise, though you have to put up with that guy lol. I shouldn't be disrespectful, he's done a huge job even in just putting that all together

    If you can pick out some songs you like, then you can go down the artists path, and then find similar artists. Good luck

    For anyone not familiar with rugba leeg, give this game a watch. Both NZ and Australia will be playing for keeps.

    It's free to air on 7 or via 7plus, with occasional annoying ads in between play stoppage. Broadcast starts at 7:00pm AEDT and kickoff at 7:35pm AEDT. Maybe other paid services too.

    No matter what your taste in sport, I'd recommend giving this a chance. It has the hallmarks of an epic battle.


    Ponga is a worry, and omfg they have Whyte on the bench? If he is half-fit it's gonna be a helluva game!

    Thanks ikt, appreciate you keeping the NRL community alive! One of the rare times we may be on the same side this weekend 😆

    With the 2026 midterms closing in, Republicans are facing an unpopularity crisis as gas prices skyrocket and the war in Iran drags on. In this new special, “Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Red Flags,” Klepper hits the MAGA campaign trail to see if anti-communist hysteria, God's pronouns, and old-school Islamophobia can hold the GOP's fraying coalition together.

     

    Can Australians trust the labels on the food they buy?

    First of a two part investigation.

    I'm expecting major shenanigans to be uncovered.

    Airing tonight on our ABC at 8:30pm eastern, and will be available via iView after.

    Do yourself a favour, and catch Media Watch after it. You'll find out what media BS you've been caught out believing!
