The far right, including One Nation, are outsourcing their Islamophobia content to Indonesia. Which is so wildly cooked on every level. They are importing hate and the platforms that profit from it to be held to account.

QLD Government ads bragging about how they’re changing laws to get dangerous e-bikes and scooters off the roads. Proceeds to show nothing but footage of things that were ALREADY illegal with no law changes. I mean, maybe just enforce the existing laws?

I’ve been using #GitHubCopilot for years now, and I’ve spent so much time looking at what models to choose in what circumstances. I think I’ve got a good handle on which to choose for different types of work. And… just use Auto. It’s cheaper and usually better at deciding than me.

2 scam calls in the last hour pretending to be an electricity company I don’t use. Frustratingly they have my name and (old) postcode along with my phone number.

Every time I go out for a bike ride I make sure I have my Medicare card with me in case I crash and that’s sensible actually not pessimistic.

I've been sick and haven't worn a mask this regularly since, well you know. I forgot how much it sucks. But no way I'm getting a bunch of kids or their parents sick one week out from school holidays.

If you ever wondered how much of Twitter is "the algorithm" pushing stuff at you, just visit another country. About 30% of my feed is in Japanese right now.

It's always worrying seeing an elderly person buying Apple gift cards. Maybe I'm being unfair.

I just put bananas next to avocados in my fruit bowl so I guess you could say I'm pretty brave.

Sometimes I read through my Spam folder just for the lols.

I haven't been posting much but at least this time it's because I'm happily spending time with family and friends.
