I know many were drawn to Android because it sold itself on being an open platform. Google has quietly decided they no longer need that promise. We'll be watching this closely and pushing for answers. If you share these concerns join the Keep Android Open campaign keepandroidopen.org/cta/
If harm reduction is your jam and you live in NSW, feel free to write your local member to encourage them to keep drug checking services running while the review of the trial is underway!
1300 words later, my email/essay is complete. Absolutely no practical way to share it on Bluesky, but I can promise you its a thrilling piece that will keep said pollies on the edge of their seats throughout.
And, of course, I can't stick entirely to the point... I've also added on my views on establishing fixed checking facilities in addition to the mobile festival service, and ensuring it is not limited to Sydney.
Well, time to keep working on my excessively long email re. the urgent need for the continuation of the NSW Drug Checking service as we wait for the review to take place.
2 hours until bed time is acceptable (based on my 4am wake up). Going to be the longest 2 hours of my life.
Went back to the gym today... fine while I was there, but fuck, I am tired and sore now. Tomorrow will be hell. Damn knee rehab.
hold on i gotta take this
Without stating your age, post a movie that released when you turned 18.
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."

When its 6.30 and you are ready for bed 😴😴😴
Loving all the landlords melting down dramatically over rumours of CGT discount changes 🫠🤣
It's a shame the upfront cost is still such a challenge. There will be lots on the second hand market in a couple of years at least, when the first rounds of salary packaged cars start selling
A quick glance on Chargefox shows there are rapid chargers available in Toowoomba. I drove my EV comfortably for a 3.5 hour drive without needing a charge - and I do not have a long range model. You'd have enough charge after 10 min on a rapid charger to make it back.
Why would you not be able to do that in an EV? Or is there sarcasm I am missing?
My daughter is shooketh at the notion of perfume samples in magazines 🤣
Do I want to pay to see Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed and Cambria and Thornhill? Reminiscing brain says yes, just for Coheed alone. Sensible brain says $200 to likely go alone may not be sensible.
Whyyyyy did I wash the sheets today... now I gotta make the bed. Boo.
I've got the opposite problem now - all feed, no replies! But 2 hours ago was nothing at all, so I guess... small wins?
AFR headline : New $3m super tax is ‘stealing my children’s inheritance’ Family enterprises – including farms and small businesses – face disruption likely to stop the next generation taking over.
AFR headline: The occupations hit hardest by $3m super tax
AFR headline: Why even a $300,000 salary won't get you to retirements magic number (which is $2m)
Last year the AFR was running scare campaign articles seemingly every week on how increasing the tax on super balances over $3m was going to destroy aspiration.
Now they tell us - guess what you won't have $2m super even if you earn $300,000 a year!
Tsk tsk, the best dinosaur is clearly a Saurolophus.
End stage capitalism, yet again, at work. We will be given slop and we will like it, while creatives starve.
This is more of a serious question than it appears on the surface - I am genuinely interested in why it is, exactly, that some Australians have such a genuine fear of military aggression from China, which they seem to think we are directly at threat from. Why is this the case?
Off for an MRI next week (which really should have been done straight up IMO, given it has all the hallmarks of a degenerative meniscus injury), but physio starts tomorrow!
Watching the PHONeys melt down over some missed ballots is both hilarious and vomit inducing. I genuinely hope most Australians have a sensible level of faith in the AEC, unlike these blithering dunderheads and paid foreign accounts.
An ultrasound of my knee (medial meniscus). Don't ask me to explain what it shows, because, well, I can't

The more I look, the less I see. Curse me and my impatient brain!
Time to head back to uni and study radiology, I guess 🤣
Any random ultrasound fans, feel free to have at 🤣

An ultrasound of my knee (medial meniscus). Don't ask me to explain what it shows, because, well, I can't. There is a dark squiggly line running through which maaaaay be a tear? No clue, honestly.
So, in my highly qualified judgement, the best I have is, "it looks slightly not right?" 🤣 back to the doctor tomorrow, and the physio on Friday.
Because I'm fucking weird, I actually hope they say there is something wrong, AND that something can be done, because I miss lifting, and it's been months
I can see why so many men start podcasts, my thumbs tire from the weight of expounding my opinions ad nauseum.
Sir David Attenborough. Although it will require either my very untimely death, or a medical/scientific miracle.
