19:05 Episode 2 of Julian Assange's "The World Tomorrow". At least Slavoj Zizek is fun to watch, as usual. - http://t.co/0NUj3rtG #
18:44 No, Barnaby and TJ should slow-jam the headlines. RT @Lateline: Lateline's guest tweeter tonight is Senator Barnaby Joyce. #
18:38 Watching ep2 of the #Assange comedy half-hour. Slavoj Zizek is the life of the party. He should host the show each week, not Jules. #
18:26 (actually, I could imagine @kruddmp attempting the slow-jam. And let's not even think of Bob Katter.) #
18:24 Like: Wow. Imagine @JuliaGillard doing this? RT @BarackObama: President Obama and Jimmy Fallon slow-jam the news: http://t.co/vgWb3bZr #

15:32 @arwon they don't seem to be too fussed on a return for their investment in TV rights. They'd have Anzac Day afternoon almost to themselves #
15:28 So #ch7 Sydney doesn't show *any* AFL on its analog channel any more!?! #aflpiesdons #

18:38 @KKeneally thanks. Go the Wildcats! #
18:29 Twitter is a live medium, not a TV chat room. Please go ahead :) MT @KKeneally: Twitterverse: want scores or not? #NBLGF #
18:27 Out takes of actors fluffing their lines and bursting into laughter. Gosh I've never seen that happen before. #

13:16 Thunderstorm? Now? #
11:25 So is @PM_Live / @PMonAir still raving about that said ACA report? Judging by the flippant hashtag he's using this morning I'd say yes. #
11:20 From @meadea on last night's @ACurrentAffair9 Leanne Edelsten abomination - http://t.co/oh0FV8Lq #
07:13 It's not his "former" role. MT @thetodayshow: Peter Slipper still pockets the salary & perks of his former role as Federal Speaker #

23:50 Great in what sense? RT @pm_live: VIDEO: Here is the GREAT #aca story we were talking about on #pmlive. Enjoy: http://t.co/jqzcjO95 @PMOnAir #
20:51 Hmmm. #london2012 RT @peaceandsport What do you think: are the London Games the 1st world’s “first social Olympics"? http://t.co/Mr4Wqz0B #

13:18 "install Microsoft Silverlight." Are you serious, Bigpond? #
12:03 Tony Abbott makes things up. Have I mentioned this before? #
11:37 The allegations against #Slipper are serious and must be investigated. But they're not political. It's wrong for Abbott to politicise this. #
11:26 Shorter ABC 24: We can't bring you Murray Rose's funeral, so let's see if Tony Abbott's got something to say instead. #
08:13 Hmm @everyword is having one of those days #

08:38 There is fog outside my window. Still. Outside my window sill still. Not inside my brain as per usual. Or is it. #

16:42 #vbnswcup Not a day for closely fought rugby league at Henson Park. Full time in the second game of the double header. Balmain 32 Newtown 0. #
16:31 Actually that's 9 mins to go now. Very hard to read the new Henson Park scoreboard in the setting sun I'm afraid. #vbnswcup #
15:46 #vbnswcup Balmain leading Newtown 18-0 at the break. Not sure that was in the script. #
15:13 #vbnswcup Balmain score first against Newtown 6-0. Follow @nswrl and @leagueunlimited for updates or listen to @triplehfooty #
14:44 It's a pity the golden Slipper isn't being run today. #

14:26 Bears almost but not quite in again. #vbnswcup http://t.co/HqgLhCso #
14:23 Half century to the Bears. 50-6 with 2 minutes to go. #vbnswcup #
14:10 Pity that @westsmagpies aren't affiliated with an #NRL club this season. I fear they'll have a bleak year. #vbnswcup #
14:07 Wests have scored! It's 6-32 with 17 mins remaining. #vbnswcup #
13:21 Now 14-0 to Norths. Justin Hunt has 2 tries, Merritt the other. #vbnswcup #
13:17 Nathan Merritt just scored for the Bears. They lead the Maggies 8-0 late in the 1st half. #vbnswcup #

22:06 Still think Jules could do with a song or two. I hear Engelbert Humperdinck's making a comeback #
22:02 I suppose getting an interview with the head of Hezbollah was a coup, but otherwise #Assange's show was dull as dishwater. Don't bother. #
21:52 It's a pity Nasrallah's not in the studio with Jules, they could have spun the wheel at the end of the show and given away some cool prizes. #
21:40 Sorry Jules I'm getting bored already. #expectassange #
