What do call someone who applies a demand-side solution to a supply-side problem? Personally, I’d call them a fucking idiot, but apparently the correct answer is: the Reserve Bank of Australia.

Well, I was already tempted to watch this, but now? It’s a definite. I read ‘Careless People’ for the same reason and holy shit, I can see why Meta wanted it banned.

Apparently I’m the only one in the house who knows that food can go back into the same cupboard, fridge or freezer it came out of. Now, what to do with this arcane knowledge … ?🤔

Hey, @microsoft.com, your Word application is garbage. If I wanted to only edit the last character in a Comment, I’d move the cursor there, myself. Sort your fucking lives out.

First day of spring, 21C and sunny. I’m sitting outside, reading editorial queries and sipping T2 Melbourne Breakfast Tea. That’ll do, Donkey. That’ll do.

There’s a headline I didn’t have on my 2026 bingo card. ‘The former Barclays boss Jes Staley has denied having sex with a woman dressed as Snow White… “No, I did not,” Staley said.’ He later added: “I had no contact with any women because for the entire evening in question I was feeling Sleepy.”

But tell me again how it’s hyperbolic to describe the Trump administration as fascist.

Had lunch with some friends we only see once a year or so and it seems all of them have been using AI in their daily life. I can’t be the only one who’s never knowingly used the plagiarism machines, can I?

Today in Clacton, thousands of people turned out to vote for a joke candidate whose stories about his past defy credulity. And Count Binface also received more than 25% of the vote.

My youngest daughter is out at a 90s party and I’ve just realised that that’s the same as me going to a 50s party. In unrelated news, if anyone has a zimmer frame they’re looking to get rid of, I might have a buyer for it.

Does it make me a bad person to fervently wish that every single Republican POS hounding Dr Fauci in this ridiculous sham ‘hearing’ contacts a treatment-resistant strain of COVID and dies gasping for help? Oh well. I guess I’m a bad person, then. 🤷‍♂️

Just read the Bookseller (UK) article on bullying. Not surprised at all. Not in the slightest. By the results or the boilerplate response. I’ve seen more healthy cultures in a Petri dish.

I’m only about a fifth through Sarah Wynn-Williams’ CARELESS PEOPLE and it’s already apparent that Mark Zuckerberg is an emotionally stunted, petulant little brat. And that’s before the Facebook IPO that skyrocketed his net worth. I do not expect my impression of him to improve as I read further.

What, exactly, has Kobbie Mainoo done to offend Tuchel? I mean, is Rice has to come off but you replace him with Eze, why the hell did you select Mainoo in the first place? 🤷‍♂️

I genuinely, honestly feel for the US players and fans, who are completely blameless in this red card fiasco. It’s 100% the fault of Infantino and Trump. Nevertheless, any result other than a Belgian win is a travesty of justice. Go, the Red Devils 🇧🇪

One of our cats is sat at the front door, looking out of the glass. A pigeon has landed on the front porch and is just sitting there, taunting him. Honestly, the atmosphere is electric.

It’s ironic, really. Here I am, freshly made redundant, with all the time in the world and a World Cup with many matches being played at reasonable local times, and I can’t enjoy it. FIFA’s utter corruption has completely spoiled the international game for me. Just waiting for the EPL to restart. ☹️

Just flicking through YouTube, watching a couple of old football videos, and I was reminded of what an utter travesty it is that Paolo Maldini never won the Ballon d’Or. Ludicrous.

In the past I’ve described Donald Trump as the worst president in American history. Today, on his 80th birthday, I am forced to admit that I was wrong. He’s the *two* worst presidents in American history.
