Absolutely one of the shittest rebrands I’ve ever seen. Literally one calls WHSmith “WHS”.

Sad to hear @Studio10au will finish up at the end of the year. It was a privilege to be able to regularly hang out on the desk and have a natter, helped by such a professional team in front of and behind the camera. Ten years of a live TV show is a thoroughly good innings.

Very cool string of lights in the sky above New York City. Thought it was drones doing a display at first but think it’s actually Starlink satellites.

I’m still for too British for New York. I just went to a coffee shop and was served a lukewarm hot latte. Did I complain? No. I said thank you very much, tipped and I’m now at home boiling the kettle so I can get my $5 coffee up to the correct temperature.

Yesterday was the seventh anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Florida. 49 LGBTQ clubbers were shot dead in what was, then, the US’ worst mass shooting. Last year, I spoke to two of the survivors about that awful night in Orlando: news.com.au/world/north-amer… @newscomauHQ

I went to Manhattan’s last remaining Bed Bath and Beyond as the entire iconic US chain gets set to shut for good. It was supposed to be the flagship store but shoppers said it’s very revamp was part of the problem: news.com.au/finance/business… @newscomauHQ

As dawn breaks in the US, New York is taking over the New South Wales election. It’s a three screen kinda event.

A decade to the day that me and Miriam Margolyes sat next to each other in Canberra and decided to become Australians.

Got my hands on the #dysonzone at #CES2023 in Las Vegas. It’s the startlingly bold air purifying headphones with Mad Max vibes. In the flesh it’s just as visually arresting but it’s light, great sound and with all that air, refreshing: news.com.au/lifestyle/health… @newscomauHQ @Dyson

There are so many US shootings, but what’s it really like to be in one - that terrible moment? Survivors of the Orlando #Pulse gay club shooting told me what they saw & felt, the “polite” request from the gunman & if things will change: news.com.au/world/north-amer… @newscomauHQ
