I could hit the "dice" button on this site all day. It makes me nostalgic for the web before socials. When an average browsing session meant visiting at least quirky 3 web sites you'd never heard of before. screenshots.nry.me

Hindsight is 20/20, but I am not sure the the Sydney Marathon finisher's medal design was ever a good one for a coastal Australian town. #running

I feel bad that money is still spent pitching me the thing I bought 2 months ago 😞. Thanks Temu, but I only needed the one.

Coffee Shouts A quick overview of an app I created to help social groups remember whose turn it is to buy the latest round of coffees.

Do you meet up regularly for coffee with friends? ☕️

Ever forget whose turn it is to foot the bill?

I built a little app called Drink Shout to help keep track.

This blog post is a shallow dive into the thinking behind it: pocknee.com/dsc/articles...

The marketing firm that names thoroughbred racehorses clearly has a side hustle branding running shoes.

Could the visible discomfort I attributed to a spineless inability to criticize Washington, actually have been due to the guilt of concocting false narratives covering our complicitity in Trump's scheme?

Months from now, we might find Australia’s 10% tariff is quietly negotiated away for meaningless baubles. It sounds conspiratorial - but it would explain politicians’ past inability to give forthright answers. /19

Of course, there’s another possibility: the 10% tariff on Australia may not actually exist. Australian politicians could be complicit in Washington’s scheme, providing countries Trump *actually* sees as "perpetrators" with an example of the "correct" response. /18

Trump does not respect obsequious minions. He is purely transactional. Obedience only invites further burdens. Weakness is disdainfully exploited. /17

By trying not to poke the bear, we immediately surrendered an equal negotiating position. To remove or reduce the 10% tariff will require concessions on our existing position, whereas Washington will be bargaining with assets that never really existed. /16

Obsequious in their refusal to forthrightly call out the inanity of the proposed tariffs or say anything that might jeopardize the “special relationship”. Absurdly, Australia runs a trade deficit with the US - if Trump’s logic held, Australian goods should get negative tariffs. /14

For the past month, we’ve watched Australian politicians dance around the question of upcoming tariffs. It’s been embarrassing to see them squirm - uncomfortably and unconvincingly explaining how Australia would react.

Yes, they played it wrong - wrong for Trump.

It's a brave strategy, and one that certainly hasn't worked with China.
