America is making a pretty good case that Australia should align itself much more closely with our major trading partner, China.

Neither really gives a fuck about us. Australia needs to stop kidding itself otherwise.

Also missed the notice last time our power scheduled outage.

Also didn’t notice for a few hours because solar battery.😺

Whilst corporate donations are allowed no caps leaves the election vulnerable to which ever billionaire, person or corp, that wants to buy the result.

Democracy for the ppl by the ppl should not allow corp donations.
Corporations have no business participating in democracy, it’s not theirs to have.

Single frame containing two panels. Title: “INVISIBLE THINGS” First panel. Empty frame, captioned “Australian gas, extracted and exported by large multinational companies.” Second panel. Identical empty frame, captioned “The benefit to Australia from the export of our gas.”

Invisible things.
My @smh @ theage cartoon.

Update on the idiot watch (Apple Watch)

Finally found the dumbest shit notification at 5:30am that haptic notification wakes me up is the fucken mindlessness app telling me to “take a minute for myself and just breathe”.

For fucks sake! How fucken stupid can a device be?

Receipt showing senior citizen price was charged.

It’s official, young person in ticket booth decided I deserve senior citizen price just by looking at me.
(I don’t have seniors card)

Nautical looking bedroom light suspended by rope unevenly from a pulley.

One always hangs lower…

Taxing our gas.Today’s Age cartoon.

First cab used in years and it’s a fucken shonk!

Abso-fucken-lutly will never use a taxi ever again!

He needs the receipt to claim for the conference he’s attending at venue we got the cab to.

Haven’t used a taxi in years, hate them with a vengeance, they’re mostly run by shonks.
Had many hideous experiences before ride sharing apps existed.

Today, hubs gets a taxi at Liverpool station. Just as he pulls out, all our luggage on board, insists cash only. On arrival refuses to give receipt.

AI technology, when used as intended, destroys human enjoyment.

Enjoy writing, drawing, coding, any creative endeavour?
AI will do it quickly and unimaginatively leaving you to merely correct it poor performance, or not.

An insidious technology when not used in the niche applications it suits.

I nearly always mute.
That way they still see my shit that annoys them, but they don’t exist as far as I’m concerned.

Gerrymandering is based on actual voting patterns.

Actual voting patterns is how candidates get elected.

People who don’t vote don’t care.
Ignore them. Pretend they don’t exist.

Maybe the block list is managed by AI, that would explain its ineffectiveness.

Global Electricity Review 2026 | Ember Solar surge halts fossil generation rise as clean power meets all demand growth and renewables overtake coal

Last year, the world added 849 TWh of electricity demand.

The Pentagon’s new submarine boss says the US Navy’s priority is its next generation of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines – not the Virginia-class vessels Australia is depending on under AUKUS

Suspect that’s why so many vacancies.

At line 4, 3 subtracted from both sides gives -3 = x cubed

I’m no math wiz tho.

Chonky Brit - gorgeous !

It’s illegal to add anything other than salt.
Butter is always yellow. You can whip cream at home and the butter is yellow. I’ve done it.

Stopped watching Ch7 years ago.
There isn’t a show Ch7 could air that would have me tune in.

Right wing propaganda at every opportunity. Garbage people presenting garbage shows.

I feel kinda sad for the dimwits that do watch Ch7 oblivious to the lies they’re being told.

Has anyone even asked teens (too young to vote) if they even know who crisafulli is, let alone if they can name a single policy or law change that affects them directly?

None of QLD youth would know nor care.

Electric buses don’t have gears just a D-N-R control.

Being a bus driver is more about psychological resilience than driving.
Have a friend who changed midlife to be a bus driver at Bondi junction depot. He was a trolly dolly and used to dealing with cunts.

I do love a lap cat.
I find they’re usually a bit older, a certain age where they like their comfort more than the more active youngsters.

A truly excellent preamble to a proposal of marriage.

Google map showing route to 20mtrs away in a shopping centre recommends several hundred meter walk out to the main road and back.

Still waiting for AI to be added to an app that actually needs it, desperately.

The 1 minute travel time refers only to the time walking down the main road outside the shopping centre.
Doesn’t count the 200 mtrs to get to main road and 300 mtrs back to be 20mtrs from where I started.

Found more stupid tech.

When I view the AustPost advice for a delivered parcel I see it was delivered in broad daylight at half passed midnight!

Because I’m reading the email in UK.

When some tells me their job is a dev, I always wonder, but are you any good at it?
So few actually are.

New Australia Institute research shows that the Japanese Government makes more revenue taxing Australian gas than the Australian Government!

"They're taxing our gas. There's no reason we can't."

The best feeling a nerd can have with his fly done up.

About half way through my first rewatch since it aired.

20+ eps per season makes me realise how popular it was to get so many seasons. Then we got Stargate Atlantis.

Enjoying it so much.
