Shit days getting shitter is one of the worst tropes in existence.

Some days I worry if this is what I'm like.

'We have rules and regulations in place to stop this from happening here.'

Do we though? It's not hard to participate in this kind of online gambling.

If they can put in place a shit house social media ban, they can put in place half arsed gambling reform.

I know the focus is on America right now, rightly so, but far out... If the rise of gambling on wars isn't concerning enough for Australia to create a hardline stance against gambling here, then I don't know what is.

Truly seems the most appropriate way to acknowledge the 30th anniversary of Australia being the US’s ‘deputy sheriff’ - whole heartedly supporting the US bombing another country, despite not being clued in, even as it kills scores of children

Existing! Out of spite!

corporate media consolidation is a cancer

This is true, but please don't come to Australia.

I don't like that St Kilda are going to be fun to watch this year.

But I do like seeing Gold Coast lose, even if it's a scratch match.

So, I made a little digital horror film on my phone with photos I took around my apartment building 😌

First experience of seeing someone with an ice addiction on public transport in quite a while. They weren't violent or anything, rather subdued as they painted their legs in honey. It's the most complicated and upsetting nice smell I've experienced in a while.

A photo of Luna the black Cocker Spaniel sitting on a green dog bed looking very chuffed with herself. Some neglected plants sit in pots behind her.

Your daily Luna. It's obscene how cute this dog is.

I don't miss much about Twitter, but I do miss bullying Malcolm Roberts on it.

It's 2026. Didn't NFTs die a few years ago?

But hey, it makes sense that Australia Post would be late with getting to something.

Not that I'm any better. I couldn't use a hand saw to cut a branch in half yesterday.

They just dropped something and didn't shout 'fuck', so thinking it's not an aggression thing and they just suck at drilling.

You know, if Vladmir Putin were a good, nice, kind leader, we'd be able to call him names he might deserve, if he were nice that is. Such as Vladmir Poutine.

Alas, he's a cunt, so doesn't deserve a nickname like that.

Neighbour has been drilling and bashing something all day long. They either are really shit at fixing something or really need to get some aggression out. Either way, it's getting close to 6pm which is my time for not having loud noises like this going. They best be shushing soon.

Properly going to start sharing photos of our new pup, Luna, now. She is very cute and I believe that's what people need a little bit of nowadays.

Thrilled to announce that I've been awake since 3:50am and have no chance of getting back to sleep at all.

Text from Angus Taylor's first speech: "At the same time, we must protect our basic values and bedrock institutions. I first encountered political correctness as a student at Oxford. It was 1991, and a young Naomi Wolf lived a couple of doors down the corridor."

Screenshot: Dear Angus Taylor ... let me remind you of our encounter at Oxford and why it matters Denise Meyer December 14, 2019 — 12:00am Dear Angus Taylor, When you say that you remember Naomi Wolf living a few doors down from you in Oxford 28 years ago, I wonder if you’re mythologising a much less glamorous encounter with a fellow female student – me? Naomi Wolf wasn’t at New College when you and I were fellow Rhodes Scholars there in the early 1990s. She had been there in the 1980s, but she was long gone by then, riding the wave of publicity for her book, The Beauty Myth. Newly arrived from the patriarchal colonies, I was avidly reading the bestseller at the time – I would have noticed if Wolf was living among us or had come back to visit. She did not.

A colleague reminded me this morning that Angus Taylor misled parliament in his very first speech in the building!

WA lost, and I also lost my voice, but gosh... So much fun.
