A new One Nation MP in South Australia has revealed in his maiden speech that he is gay, and that his partner is Muslim immigrant.

Pauline Hanson’s head may actually explode.

For those not familiar with Australian Politics, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party is an extreme right-wing political party that has been consistently homophonic, transphobic, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigration. It almost goes without saying that they’re also anti-renewables, anti-fluoride, and anti-vax. They have a track record of voting against workers rights, wage equality, and they publicly have the support of the biggest public welfare recipient in the country, Gina Rinehart (richest Australian).

The One Nation MP in question has been elected on an anti-immigration and pro-fossil fuel platform.

Pessimist: Glass is 1/2 empty

Excel: Glass is January 2

Dgar: I’m getting some new specs!

Them: …and after that?

Dgar: After that, we’ll see!

An meine Hörer in Deutschland: Meine Musik wird in eurem Land häufiger gespielt als irgendwo sonst auf der Welt. Ich bin überwältigt von eurer unglaublichen Unterstützung. Vielen herzlichen Dank!

After my grandmother bought a sled she went downhill fast.

I object to the insinuation that I go out of my way just to annoy you.

It’s not out of my way at all.

Trump tried to get an erection in Australia and failed.

Is this why he’s upset with our PM?

I threw a ball for my dog.

She looks amazing in a frock!

I used to work with a lady who would always take an interest in my music. She’d ask how our jam sessions went and if I’d recorded anything new. But, anytime I had something new, she’d listen to it through, and then tell me that it’s “not her kind of music”.
It always bemused me that she would take such an interest if she didn’t like what I was making. 

I decided to write her a song that she would enjoy.

Music was being streamed at work all the time, so I knew what sort of songs she was into. Classic Rock. Australian Pub Rock in particular. She was a single mum in her 50’s, a strong, hard woman, an Aussie battler.

I wrote Proud Woman in a weekend, and recorded it at home. A mate I regularly jam with did the vocals and when it was done, I uploaded it and shared it with her when I got to work.

She liked it.

The experience taught me the value of an audience of one. The focus on writing a song for one person, with the aim that they - that person in particular - enjoys it, gave me a different perspective on the whole creative process.

Please enjoy my song:
Proud Woman

Here’s what people are saying about my new album “Pronounced Jar”.

“This is one of the albums of 2026”

“Some good stuff”

“OMG! You’re just stringing us along!”

“Australia, right?”

“Thank you for your music and for brightening up our lives here!”

“Can I invest in you?”

“I’m enjoying Pronounced Jar and Broken G String”

“Someday we'll look back on this and realize it was an instant classic album.”

“Solos are short or nonexistent”

If you haven’t heard this phenomenon that’s sweeping the Fediverse, tune in now, put it on your speakers, and play it loud enough for the neighbours to Shazam it.

Or don’t. I’m not your mum.

Them: So what is this Mastodon thing anyway?

Me: It's a social network for nerds.

Them: Right....

Me: *nods

Them: So, what are 'you' doing there?

Me: ...

Them: *smirks

Me: The nerds seem to like me.

Them: I see...

Me: Also, the other places all suck.

Them: Well, I can't argue with that...
