AND THEY STOLE THE FUCKING RIGHT CTRL KEY FOR IT

I refused to attend them in person after work from home became a thing. Even when they tried "You must be present for this session, we're not sending out a Zoom link" - dudes, you offshored half the workforce. At some point, you're going to have to send out a Zoom link for it.

Holy fuck, town hall meetings. Are CEOs saboteurs?

Going through building insurance quotes and oh my god, a certain club for automobiles with royal approval has been ripping me off for years.

I'd just like to thank the weather gods for this late summer revival. It was exactly what I needed after almost two weeks of some sort of lurgy.

[louder, as if that'll improve reception] THE BLUESKY DEVS WOULD BE VERY UPSET BY YOUR JOKES ABOUT VIBE CODING IF THEY COULD LOAD YOUR POSTS

Nationalise it. Nationalise it all. Cannot believe this stuff.

I've had a Pie Face pie a long time ago. Not overly great.

But while we're on this, I rode my bike out east today and had an excellent pasty at Bayswater's "Heavenly Pies and Cakes". If their pies are as good as that, might be one for you to check out.

Three road signs aligned vertically. The top has a picture of people walking. The middle has the word AGED. The lower sign has a picture of ducks.

Aged ducks.

Remember Barnaby Joyce's relocation of the pesticides regulator from Canberra to Armidale which was a huge fucking debacle because all the staff said "Move to the middle of nowhere? Fuck that. " and quit. Imagine a place so bad that even Canberrans nope right out of it.

Not every job is treating cancer.

And even if we did it, who would trust it? Imagine a person uproots their life, and moves to Nowra. The first recession that comes along is going to wipe out any jobs there and suddenly they have a 5 hour round trip commute to Sydney just to get work, and a house that they can't ever sell.

Why would any business do this? We could have it right now by saying everyone in an office job who can work from home can do so permanently, but businesses won't even get on board with that.

There are no jobs in regional Australia.

Sorry, no, I don't want to live in a backwater.

tbqh I thought it was deliberate.

But can it get up again when I stretch some fishing line across the track at shin height and trip it over? I know that the human will be able to.

It is, in fact, somewhat of a challenge to find a party with elected MPs that has as little of a plan for almost anything as One Nation, a party that crumples and bickers with itself the moment it has to commit to substantive policy rather than just air half-formed grievances

Sending you a shovel to start building your Strandburg.

Her plan is to enrich Pauline Hanson by promoting ill-feeling among people. Expecting anything else is pointless.

Anyway, if you have any digital books at all on Kindle, you have until June 30th to remove the DRM from them so that you have them forever, regardless of what might become of your Amazon account in the future.

First killing off old Kindles and now ending Kindle for PC, looks like Amazon is going all out on stopping people from removing DRM from the books that they own.

The other 10% are, inexplicably, doing it from their car.

The person who used this lower-burden-of-proof argument with me then went on to say "We train these people to be killers and then get upset when they start killing people".

So many people suddenly having opinions on civil law trials at the moment.

"The burden of proof isn't as high in a civil trial so..." yeah yeah, I guess that means a judge with decades of experience just puts their finger in the air and measures the vibe, right.

Arsonist takes credit for arrival of fire brigade.

4 degree minimum in Melbourne on Sunday morning.

It is way too early in the year for this. I am not psychologically prepared for it.

when this evaporates we're gunna have to [redacted] a bunch of people.

Bluesky's vibe coding clearly kicking goals again.
