I must say, we did pick up a rubbish week to visit the Gold Coast. "Beautiful one day perfect the next" my arse..

Incredible. $212,765 to Save the Children since Helen Haines family called for donations yesterday. There's a lot of good in our country. www.savethechildrenfundraising.org.au/helenhaines

Are we gonna do this, Bluesky? Are we all just gonna not understand accounting? 72B$ of the 80B$ is convertible notes. They became greater liabilities because the company's valuation skyrocketed. They don't have an 80B$ loss in the sense that almost everyone here is imagining.

What a delightful little promo for Movember. “The Growmitment” starring Aaron Chen and John Cruckshank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQg1...

No, bombing Yandex has not impacted automated Russian trolling operations in the U.S.

This is always a great yearly thread from someone with a wonderful depth of expertise on the energy transition. You should also buy her book, or maybe encourage your local library to pick up a copy?

We’ve had 22 years of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. People are aware. People know phishing is bad, ransomware exists, and passwords shouldn’t be “password.” Mission Accomplished! Let's rename it Cybersecurity Readiness Month. semgrep.dev/blog/2026/re...

This morning’s magnitude 4.8 earthquake is the largest in Victoria for 3 years. The epicentre was near Korumburra. It’s the largest on record in the area. In 2009 a magnitude 4.7 & 4.6 occurred within a 2 week period at the same place. Dozens of aftershocks have occurred, the largest so far at M3.2

I'm no expert, but IMO it would have been more efficient for Australia Post to just send me the parcel directly instead of routing it from Oakleigh via the ACT and Sydney and back to Oakleigh..

Why did China's coal&gas power output fall 4% in August? Three reasons: power generation from wind and solar grew much more than reported, as always; industrial power demand growth slowed down; and milder temperatures drove a drop in residential demand. How to parse the data 👇

Looking forward to this, airs on Australian TV on SBS from October 7. In prep, this is a good listen from Fran Kelly, the series Producer and the Antipodean connection in Paul and his wife.. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Me: These NFL games are boring, there's like 10 mins of action in the whole 3 hours. Why don't they get a real game!! Also me: Righto, time to turn on the Brownlow - wonder how Daicos went in round 9. #AFL #Brownlow

The PHEV emissions problem is not the plug in the hybrid It is the ‘plug-in maybes’ Latest EU data on plug-in hybrids show real-world fuel use & emissions far higher than lab results suggest (But PHEVs still little cleaner than regular ICE & hybrids) thedriven.io/2026/09/16/t... @thedriven.io

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Just saw an ad during #AFLFreoGeelong to win "free maccas for life" Can't think of anything worse really. Maybe donate it to someone you want to have a heart attack?

Great to see the Apple polishing cloth already supports the new iPhone duo, rather than forcing me to upgrade to Cloth 2.0 through planned obsolescence. Disappointed they haven't announced support for Android though, interoperability would be a game changer.. www.apple.com/au/shop/prod...

TeamPCP caused global software supply-chain chaos while leaving a trail of recycled handles, old forum records and passive DNS. Brian Krebs joined me to explain how he followed it to Perth, and what he learned from speaking with the group’s alleged leader. risky.biz/RBFEATURES37/

Good to see the headline writers don't understand the difference between 99th %ile threshold and average of the top 1% (the latter of which would be skewed by Atlassian billionaires)..
