An unusual thing in Australia: a popular and well-respected Humanities academic. #GraemeTurner #auspol
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Emeritus Professor Graeme Turner AO FAHA FQA — one of Australia’s most influential humanities scholars and a towering figure in the Academy’s history. humanities.org.au/our-communit...

‘Sweary Aussie Drama’ from Mitchell & Webb. #auspol
@ashleysays.bsky.social @slessans.bsky.social

As promised, here's the second episode of Sweary Aussie Drama from Mitchell & Webb Are Not Helping.

I'm assuming there's going to be one with each of the 6 shows in this season.

Content Warning: There's an incredible amount of swearing in it.

Sydney: Are there any more Colourful Characters, or is everyone renovating their investment properties? #auspol
Here it is. Saturating in Colourful Sydney. YouTube etc have substituted it with ‘populate’. Spotify below only gives preview, but if played on Spotify you will hear why it was banned in Australia. Aside: #Kanye is banned from entering Oz. #ReneeGeyer

‘Prolapse’ is definitely one of the most unusual and bold band names.

Speaking of services to music & literature, here’s #DaveGraney, literally on his hands and knees, serving music & literature!

Honorary doctorate due #UniSA or #UniversityofAdelaide

I hear @latrobeuni.bsky.social or @monashuniversity.bsky.social might be beating them to it. Embarrassing.
