Really like the no-nonsense attitude of the DPRK team. No play acting or time wasting; just good, high tempo, positive football. #AUSvPRK #WAC2026

DPRK deserved that goal. Beautifully worked. And the scoreline goes to 2-1, with 25 minutes of regulation time remaining. #AUSvPRK #WAC2026

Well an early Sam Kerr goal to start the 2nd half is exactly what the doctor ordered. #AUSvPRK #WAC2026

The #Matildas with a 1-nil lead at half time, but DPRK looking dangerous. Very good technically and some nicely worked attacking play - unlucky not to be 1-all TBH. 'Tillies need to make sure they stay on top of this. #AUSvPRK #WAC2026

... turns to shit. In a sort of reverse Midas effect. 🤦

*sigh* Losing a lot of time waiting for meeting attendees... #FreelanceLife

The result of exactly the kind of non-strategic, tactical thinking you'd expect from putting an inexperienced junior officer in charge. Clearly not the sharpest tools in the shed here.🤦

he has this exactly backwards. the better you are at communicating, the better you are at getting exactly what you want out of an AI.

people who struggle with reading comprehension (the median republican voter) won't get as big of a productivity boost

So much meetings... and on a Friday too. #FreelanceLife

Just coming up on 09:00 and I've already managed a QVM shop, #running and some preparatory work. Now for a couple of hours of client meetings... #FreelanceLife

"We don't have a shortage of supply. We have a glut of greed."

“According to the Australia Institute, around 30% of all gas exported from Australia is not needed to meet contract commitments.”

Great seeing @edhusicmp.bsky.social quoting our research in Parliament yesterday! 👏 #auspol

Why you shouldn't offload your thinking to AI Cognitive science shows why it's a bad idea.

The science shows, you should shoulder your own cognitive burden. #AI

Ooh. Going to a lunch at Farmer's Daughters in a couple of weeks. Monique Fiso, from Hiakai, is guest chef. Which is excellent as I've wanted to dine at Hiakai but haven't had need to visit Wellington lately (though there is talk of some brief session work in the medium term).

Might be worth @onetui.bsky.social checking this too.

Quieter than usual at the gym this morning, which is rare. Got through a decent workout then back home, breakfast and remotely logged in to the client to start the day's work. #FreelanceLife

Seen that too, really captured the tone of the late cold war. And I like Raymond Briggs' cartoons.

Ooh. Maybe a trip to Sin City is in order...

Yeah. I've seen 'Threads'...

A white plate with glazed eggplant quarters, greens, pork mince and a serve of white rice.

Maybe not the most photogenic dishes, but absolutely delicious. Nasu dengaku (ナス 田楽), pork soboro ankake, green bean and brocolli gomae, butter rice.

Picked up some nice, plump eggplant at the market over the weekend. So it's a good evening for ナス 田楽 (nasu dengaku).

Like many Australians, everyone at Brisbane Roar FC has been watching the story of the Iran women's national football team players now here in Queensland with immense admiration. These are elite footballers - passionate, talented women who love the game just as deeply as we do. To Fatemeh, Zahra, Zahra, Atefeh, Mona, and any of your teammates building a new life here in Australia: Brisbane is home to one of the country's most passionate football communities, and the Roar family has a big heart. We'd be honoured to open our doors and offer you a place to train, play, and belong and will begin to explore how to make this happen. No politics. No conditions. Just football, community, and a warm welcome. Queensland is your home now

The statement by the Brisbane Roar on Instagram.

In the present context, however, of an investigation into allegations of corrupt conduct, we are not so much concerned with Diceyan theory of ministerial accountability and Cabinet solidarity as with personal obligations of honesty and good faith. Thus, although Mr Morrison may have been responsible to Cabinet for the failings of DSS – in particular for DSS’ failings in not preventing the shortcomings of the NPP and checklist – it by no means necessarily follows that Mr Morrison was personally at fault for not detecting the failings of DSS or that he set out to act dishonestly or in bad faith. The question of any personal shortcoming requires consideration of the system and circumstances of ERC’s operation at the time of its adoption of the NPP.

The passages clearing Morrison of fault are extraordinary

NACC says Morrison is technically "responsible" as cabinet Minister, but not "personally at fault"

If responsibility exists without consequence...then what does "ministerial accountability" even mean anymore?

The vexatious litigant of Australian politics. 🤦

In short, it appears ministers of the crown aren't expected to actually bear any responsibility. Which is a pretty sorry state of affairs.

Little wonder our elected "representatives" are almost universally reviled.

Another great #Football story from @battledinosaur.bsky.social - who is rightly asking some pertinent questions. #WAC2026

Client meetings this morning, which has helped clarify some task requirements. Definitely overdue for #coffee though, so time for a short walk. #FreelanceLife

Up early to log 10km #running and it was humid with a warm northerly at 06:00. Managing the tendonitis, figuring I'll get through #Run4Kids OK then take the load off and let it settle down during the #football season.

Vietnam doing a lot of defending, mostly sitting with a low deep block. And pulling off a couple of stunning saves. Enough to keep Japan at 1-nil as we approach half-time. Some lovely technical play by the Japanese women. #JPNvVIE #WAC2026

... but you never know...

Early start to the day with a gym session, then #swimming. Straight to client site for work, where it was mostly trying to beat documentation into shape: not happy with results yet TBH. Wrapping up with some PD attending a session on Green Technology, at #ACSVic.
