Do you know where we can find one, @AlboMP ? ALP has been looking for one for awhile now; joker they have now just keeps caving to the LNP and following along behind. https://twitter.com/AlboMP/status/1467317849916018691
Dune continues to be dull trash, three hours of moody, undergraduate cod-philosophy starring Space Jesus and his dad, The Quiet American, come to save the natives. Avatar, but desert.
Like Avatar, it will inexplicably make bajillions.
I wish there was a way to pin a note in text threads that include my parents reading "No. They won't get the joke. They don't know what that Very Online thing is. They were born before 1955 and live in Bundaberg."
Some, when they see themselves truly for the first time, reflected in the eyes of others, will go to such lengths to unsee. But they say the anonymous are “cowards.”

I wouldn’t want to face a defamation lawsuit from the parliamentary leader of an Australian political party for saying they are objectively pro-corruption, and yet here we are.
I was not expecting that.
But yeah, that makes sense.

Job applications that ask some variant of "Why are you interested in this role"...sigh
I no longer have the patience. I now enter "Paying my mortgage".
The Wheel of Time show is, regrettably, bad. I don’t care that they changed characterisation and plot and pacing, I mind that they did it so poorly.
I hate the proposed SMS replacement - RCS - with a passion. It is a protocol built for and by direct marketers to drive engagement and sales. But SMS needs to die. You can't block harassers/spam like the UAP texts, it's trivially spoofable, and it's trivially man-in-the-middled.
Left unsaid in this "Teach the ALP a lesson they won't forget" piece is that the LNP will also be taught that they can continue to have their cake and eat it too on climate; they continue to cater to inequality; they can continue to pander to bigotry.

“Ahhh-ye, yeh can come in for a lolly…hic. Dohn mind me, kiddo…ah jus tired…n’motional hic”
Was getting an optometrist checkup yesterday and part of the small talk was asking if tech is a good industry to be in so really I got an existential checkup as well, twofer!
The Meta logo looks like the infinity symbol, only it's gotten old and tired and sagging...
Just like their ideas and vision. Perfect!
The latest John Oliver episode won’t play. The others will, but not….the Episode that mentions Taiwan. Did it get shadow banned? 😆
She's talking about the fucked up shit the US are doing...
But I mean it's crazy, right, how applicable this is to any government across the world at any time. For a brief moment I thought she was referring to Morrison's bullshit show today.

Apparently the underpants gnomes have diversified and will be supplying 70% of our carbon reduction heading into 2050.

Even recording this as a bookmark feels like it is ignoring everything it says, and yet…
Get you a job where you aren't finding yourself counselling people "Sometimes you just need to let people touch the stove."
So many people in various states of distress wanting my advice this week because their professional opinion is being ignored and pooh-poohed.
She's clearly struggling with who she holds more in contempt, poor people or the people struggling to cushion the blow. I expect if she could, Goward would send eagles to eat the livers of social workers each day.

Maybe it’ll be different for a landscape display, but there’s a lot of fury and sarcasm out there this morning for a notch I basically never even notice.
