See your problem here is that you’re framing this as government businesses where actually they are government services that they like to pretend are businesses. Government services are what governments are supposed to spend money on for the public good.

Brisbane: Severe Thunderstorm Warning For Damaging Winds, Large Hailstones And Heavy Rainfall bswa.brisbane.qld.gov.au/alert_detail...

Waiting for the orange felon to decree that Arabic numerals are henceforth to be known as American numerals

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

🇧🇷 🤞

Just in case we have forgotten him he pops again to remind everyone that sadly he's not in gaol.

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Went down a rabbit hole about The Eastern Dark and discovered that Bill Gibson briefly joined the Lemonheads which led me to their Wikipedia page where the list of ex members is exactly 1 screen long on my phone. I thought you should know.

This is 100% true and yet I have no recollection of being taught it.

Oooh. Got a “Severe Thunderstorm Warning For Heavy Rainfall. Brisbane.” text from the BoM not had one of those for a while wz.com.au/e1ff

Tell you all you need to know

Much sadness. Official confirmation from Edgell (well actually the parent company Simplot consumer info line) that the Edgell's sauerkraut has been discontinued due to poor sales. Harumph.

What’s the opposite of an “Indian summer” called because damn there’s a chill in my bones this morning. Do people still say Indian summer?

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

WTH has happened to Edgell’s tinned sauerkraut? Can’t be found anywhere. After they canned the red cabbage a few years ago I was worried. But it seemed to hold on. Superior in taste at least in this household’s opinion to the various imported options. But now I’m worried again.

A bin chicken makes a disturbingly loud thunk when it launches from a neighbours tree onto your tin roof.

Hey #NMRChat! You’ll want to see this 60 Minutes segment on the impact of the current helium situation on science, industry, and national security. BONUS: Part was filmed in my lab at UChicago! They interviewed Biomolecular NMR’s Joe Sachleben in my photogenic chem NMR lab. #helium #realtimechem

This is really well done. By Mark and by the Times.

WTF? He felt bad that they’d done it when they found out it was the missing girl. But he thought it was an old indigenous person. So that would be AOK?

Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh-oh-oh

MD trajectory of the week is a pretty nice result #ChemSky 🧪

This is horrifying Tuskegee-level shit.

#IVselfie Not feeling too good at the moment but blood tests all fine. Low blood pressure is affecting me.

The Sex Pistols were shite

Love me a jaffle.

Spring has sprung in Brisbane. I can tell because the local possums are doing their horny grunting rituals in the trees outside my window

Released 49 years ago today L.A.M.F.,the only studio album by the American band The Heartbreakers, featuring the outstanding track Born to Lose #punkrockhistory

Listening to the 4 new Stevie Wonder songs from the Songs in the Key of Life sessions

Why are the internets so slow today?

Just watched part 1 of this doco. Normally I have the TV on as background noise while doing some late night work shit on my laptop. Couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. Chrissy always demanded full attention #AustralianStory #ChrissyAmphlett #divinyls

In some ways I wish they'd never released "Touch Myself" Australian Story is often good. This is the duck's guts for #AusRock #AustralianMusic people Lots of unseen footage, lots of insight from those who were there Loved it, can't wait for part 2 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Local building site broke the noise curfew by starting at 6:00 AM again. May your nail guns break down and may the local Hammerbarn run out of the required parts and nails.

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day He passed in 2017. As Encyclopedia Britannica puts it, “He is survived by his two children, two grandchildren, and the entire human race.” If you don't know his story, please take 3 minutes now to learn it. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Oh dear. I think maybe I’m not the NYT target audience anymore. There’s only 3 shows on this list that I’ve managed to sit through a whole episode

Also he’s out by three orders of magnitude with his guess of the number of transistors in a modern CPU or GPU. Shocking for the head of a chip company
