His profile photo shows a man with short dark hair and a moustache. The tweet reads: “I work at the australia post in chatswood and I’m using a torch to check all ballots and throw out ALL no votes”.&amp;10;&amp;10;Below the text is a photograph of what appears to be an unopened Australian Bureau of Statistics postal survey envelope. A bright torch is being shone through the envelope, making the paper partly translucent. Through it, the word “No” and a marked box appear visible. Parts of the envelope read “Australian Bureau of Statistics”, “Reply Paid 91204” and “Don’t delay”. The tweet shows 109 replies, 251 retweets and 722 likes.&amp;10;&amp;10;Beneath it is a reply from the verified Australia Post account (@auspost), with the red-and-white Australia Post logo as its profile image. The reply reads: “does not work for Australia Post. Please remember tampering with mail is a federal offence.” It is timestamped 9/13/17, 4:26 PM.&amp;10;&amp;10;The exchange occurred during the 2017 Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey, in which eligible Australians were mailed survey forms asking whether the law should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry. The joke in the original tweet is therefore about an Australia Post employee supposedly using a torch to identify “No” responses through their envelopes and discard them before they could be counted. Australia Post’s reply treats the claim seriously, publicly denying that the poster was an employee and warning that interfering with mail is a federal offence.\" loading=\"lazy\">\n","summary":"","url":"https://benhr.xyz/2026/08/17/tried-to-explain-this-one.html","date_published":"2026-08-17T11:13:14+00:00","author":{"name":"Ben Harris-Roxas","url":"https://harrisroxashealth.com","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Favatars.micro.blog%2Favatars%2F2024%2F32%2F1121.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"ben_hr"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2026-08-17 11:13","date_timestamp":1786965194,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":true,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":false,"is_podcast":false,"note":"","syndication":["https://Old.mermaid.town/@ben_hr/117110552254865868","https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:3i225oov6zmoevks66yyuf4f/post/3mtbl3j3fgd2t"]}},{"id":"95905810","content_html":"<p>monodump</p>\n<div class=\"microblog_collection\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/79bea7f755-m.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"A series of water fountains spray upward in an urban plaza with wet, reflective stone pavement and tall buildings in the background.\" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/c59888c384-m.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"A cat stands on a worn concrete surface in front of an old brick house with a white iron gate and fence.\" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/84ed3b2280-m.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"Two people are walking along a sidewalk next to a large textured mural wall in an urban environment under bright sunlight.\" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/4d3447fc77-m.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"A narrow, dimly lit alleyway at night features a solitary person standing on the left side, with buildings and framed pictures lining the walls.\" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/976828203e-m.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"A black and white photo of a small dog sitting indoors with a home office setup visible in the background.\" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/fe32df1e6d-m.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"A cup of coffee features latte art depicting a cute bear face with a small heart above it, accompanied by a spoon on a white saucer.\" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/f88886394d-m.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"A solitary person stands by tall, narrow windows in a dimly lit, minimalist hallway.\" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/91c68608eb-m.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" alt=\"A deserted underground train station platform is illuminated by wall-mounted lamps, featuring a curved ceiling and a dark tunnel at the far end.\" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/fb84b5befa-m.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"A quiet outdoor seating area with numerous benches arranged around trees and a person walking along the paved pathway.\" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/663/2026/5ecf1bd914-m.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"A set of wide stairs leads down between modern buildings towards a crosswalk surrounded by trees.\" loading=\"lazy\">\n</div>\n","summary":"","url":"https://benhr.xyz/2026/08/17/monodump.html","date_published":"2026-08-17T10:15:26+00:00","author":{"name":"Ben Harris-Roxas","url":"https://harrisroxashealth.com","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Favatars.micro.blog%2Favatars%2F2024%2F32%2F1121.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"ben_hr"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2026-08-17 10:15","date_timestamp":1786961726,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":false,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":false,"is_podcast":false,"note":"","syndication":["https://Old.mermaid.town/@ben_hr/117110328153041924"]}},{"id":"95884554","content_html":"<p>I was wondering what they’re up to on Chapo Trap House since Matt Christman had his stroke/left the show (I haven’t listened in a long time).
