Extremely randomly: did you know there are no machine made clothing? All garments are handmade! Every dang one, from the luxury atelier dresses to the overseas-sourced threadbare undershirt, is handmade.

True crime is a fraught genre, but a little tip that will improve your experience is that any time a cop describes the suspect as "smart", you're about to encounter some of the most bumbling criminal moves you have ever heard of, followed by an absolute mess of an investigation

a missing small piece from this thread: the whole thing came full circle when, at some point, graffiti shops started selling writers tiny train car models that they could use to practice and plan for their next piece which, of course, were perfect recreations of their respective trains.

A couple of days ago, Australia post started a promo with HBO for the Harry Potter TV series. It you noticed the app logo changed to incorporate an owl, that's why. A bunch of people sent in complaints about the association with that revolting TERF JK Rowling. Today they replied. Partnership ended!
Screenshot of an email from AusPost replying to my complaint sent in yesterday. It reads:

Thank you for contacting Australia Post.

Australia Post is an inclusive organisation that values diversity and is committed to fostering a respectful and welcoming environment for all people, including LGBTQIA+ communities.

The Harry Potter Owl Post Experience was a promotional fan event delivered in partnership with HBO Max to celebrate letter writing and provide an engaging experience for Harry Potter fans.

We apologise if the activation has left you disappointed. We understand your concerns and your feedback has been heard and shared with the relevant teams. As a result, the partnership has now ended. Your feedback will also inform how we think about future partnerships and activations.

I highlighted "As a result" and added exclamation marks after the following sentence.

i hate that we're all pretending he's a trillionaire. he doesn't have a trillion dollars. he could not sell his assets and literally have a trillion dollars. it's just the pretend number they decided that his assets are worth. they're not.

Would I prefer he rot in prison for his crimes? Of course. But do I think that's going to happen? No. You know what is inevitable, though? Inescapable? Death. I know he deserves worse but I'll enjoy every moment of the exultation that news will bring.

Why are the Airport line stations so drab, when the Metro stations are so rad? Surely it's not just a matter of tastes changing. (second photo taken by @nowimcarol.bsky.social)
Photo of the escalators down to Green Square station. A huge white sign with read writing says "Welcome to Greeb Square Station". Below it is a silhouette of the Sydney skyline in light blue and a simplified network map of the stations on the Airport line. The overall impression is of graphic design as a last minute thought and grey. Photo taken by me. Photo of the escalators down to Gadigal station on the Metro line. A huge tile mural dominates in bright blue, crimson and butter yellow. The impression is of bold vision and warm sandstone. Photo by Carol Muller

Asking me to move out of the way on a crowded footpath? Fine. Cool. Understandable. Pushing me in the back while saying in a clearly irritated tone: "Can you move out of the way, you're blocking everyone."? Not fine. Not cool. I'm trying to be understanding but wtf.

The Claude logo is just the Kurt Vonnegut butthole doodle
A butthole logo and then ClaudeThis book is my fiftieth-birthday present to myself. I feel as though I am crossing the spine of a roof-having ascended one slope.
I am programmed at fifty to perform childishly—to insult "The Star-Spangled Banner," to scrawl pictures of a Nazi flag and an asshole and a lot of other things with a felt-tipped pen. To give an idea of the maturity of my illustrations for this book, here is my picture of an asshole:
*
I think I am trying to clear my head of all the junk in there—the assholes, the flags, the underpants. Yes-there is a picture in this book of underpants. I'm throwing out characters from my other books, too. I'm not going to put on any more puppet shows.
I think I am trying to make my head as empty as it was when I was born onto this damaged planet fifty years ago.
