For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Best babysitter ❤️

Headline from the AFR "Time to end welfare for the wealthy, says big business"

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No?
You mean the CGT discount? No?
You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No?
You mean the free gas for multinationals? No?
You mean the failure of the PRRT? No?
You mean the tax dodging trusts? No?
You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No?

No you mean the NDIS FFS

That's one hell of a Sam Elliot mo'.

Idk who did this comic but it's hilarious

S’ new prank is to insert Angine De Poitrine into other drivers’ Spotify playlists as we’re waiting in traffic. Sorry “Pi”.

Also discovered it takes 1 Fabienk to get from Cheltenham Recreation Club back to his place.

I accidentally ended up in a fictional suburb this afternoon because I caught the wrong bus. Took me 1.5 hours to get back to where I've been staying. Felt surreal with the red bushfire sun in the sky.

Geez, the T-way bus from the North West is super efficient getting me to Parramatta in the morning. I watch the traffic on Windsor Road in horror as I zoom past.

It's the Prices, Stupid Consumer sentiment is at an all-time low because prices are at an all-time high. Consumer sentiment isn't broken, popular government data is just incomplete

The index of consumer sentiment isn't broken; models that try to predict it just don't have the right input variables. I fix that and find that, yes, high nominal price levels explain why the vibes are so off. It's the prices, stupid

I spent last night at S' but came back to my place to start packing for a 4 week house & pet sitting gig, then had a lovely nap before having dinner and drinks with an ex-colleague and current friend in Newtown. Very nice day all 'round.

Got mine booked in. Some weird private meeting room at work.

I'll genuflect when I exit and bless the next person as they enter.

A scene from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine of characters at Quark’s Bar with a message “Great! Now you can be a Dabo girl at Quarks Bar, and start a union!”

This is the support that keeps me motivated.

Got my RSA / RCG over the break. Just because.

SMH economics editor Ross Gittins got a tooth infection that caused heart failure and nearly killed him. 44 days in the ICU. Weeks on the ward and in rehab

Not a single word in Gittins’ article about the experience mentions that dental isn’t rebatable under Medicare

Tonight, we’re watching Preacher. Years after I’d read the trade paperbacks.

Watched Palm Springs with Cristin Milioti and Andy Samberg with S, and then the KEXP performance of Angine De Poitrine in full. I reckon it could be Meg White on drums and Tina Weymouth on the guitar/bass/pedals. It's still an interesting conversation.

Having the car and no internet means I’m on driving duty for S’ housemates. Waiting at a storage facility in Macquarie park. Sounds dodgy.

Why does it show 3 in the notification badge when in my list of notifications I only have one and it is already read.

Also, when I tap on “your tickets are here.” it reacts like a button but does not take me to the tickets.

You vibe coding again? WTF??

I found out yesterday that my flatmate calls me 언니 (unnie) when speaking about me to other people. I'm heartened.

She is a leaf!

Then I might stop by Rookwood Vermouth Bar on the way home. #nichebarfantasy

Going for a wander today for a solo lunch. Considering the York Lane area or Newtown. One last hurrah before knuckling down tomorrow with some course work.

Ah, the rabbit-hole of the geology of Bath, UK.

I was a sole passenger on the airport shuttle bus this arvo. Had a great chat with the driver who also works in advertising videography. Shared some industry gossip about players in the locality.

White rabbits!!

Bar Heather, Byron Bay. I come here for the Black Walnut Saison Vermouth. The “special stuff” never disappoints.
