Cocktail Hour with Brent Grapes

They're good cocktails, Bront. @actualnames.bsky.social

It is weird that people think I am younger than Timor Leste when I am actually slightly older than the Czech and Slovak Republics.

All this would be solved by the Elizabeth St tram. I want to believe.

Last time I did this I said it's a bad idea, get the train and then change, and then TripView and Google Maps both said the bus would be fine and the transfer option would take longer and the LIES THEY TOLD.

I started regularly going to the opera when I was about 16 and I think the old people in those audiences, who I assume are now mostly dead, would have murdered the current generation of nuisance retirees.

Unless people really don't put their phones away I try to leave them alone because saying "put your phone away" is itself disruptive. I do glare at them even though they can't see me though. I shhhh all the people who don't stfu though.

If ghost Robert Redford is able to call me honestly I'm interested.

I know Duolingo has various flaws in actually learning but it's still better than the nothing I would otherwise be doing, but Christ I hate its weird bullshit so much.

I absolutely mentally auto corrected the Reuters logo to the Clickhole logo.

How could anyone not return ROBERT REDFORD'S calls????

"Genociding" is not a word. Stop speaking like a ten year old.

Whatever the cause it's fucking infuriating. If you want to talk about something while it's happening, watch a movie on TV at home! I do this too, but I am aware that "my sofa" and "a public theatre with other people" are different places!!

My theory about the dreadful boomers is they never went to the theatre/cinema till they retired and so they have no clue how to behave because the last time they went was when they were 16 but maybe there are too many for this to explain them all.

Every time I catch the bus out of the city instead of the tram I am reminded of how much the bus out of the city fucking sucks and the tram is infinitely better and anyone who thinks otherwise makes no sense to me.

I'm pretty sure there are maps available for use! I'm pretty sure we could put maps in presentations before 2020!

Losing it at this fucking map made with AI that has Cambodia labelled thrice (actual Cambodia, southern Vietnam, Malay Peninsula) and Malaysia spelt wrong. There is literally no need for AI for a map, you can just get a map, what the fuck.

If you block using devices in cars a million toddlers will cry out all at once and parents will murder the phone companies.

1977: Edward Teller, father of the hydrogen bomb, addresses the Queensland Parliament. His visit was sponsored by Gina Rinehart’s father, Lang Hancock, who wanted to use nuclear explosives to extract iron ore and create a new Pilbara harbour to accommodate massive ore ships

Guy on the bus is watching a landscape video but holding his phone in portrait so he's just turning his head a bit to look at it.

Oh that's cool! I'm busy that weekend though.

What's the festival?

I DON'T KNOW. GOTTA NUKE SOMETHING.

Inventing zero was one of the greatest mathematical triumphs of humanity and you're like no fuck you the no things number and the placeholder number will no longer look the same.

The way accountants format tables and the numbers therein should be illegal.
