Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 1hWould be nice if a few governments around the world just worked for the benefit of the people and told the AI tech bros and the whole industry to go fuck off. 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 18hFuck! Andy really is a cunt! King Charles? What a joke 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Hey @albomp.bsky.social This is what the current American administration say about *THEIR OWN CITIES*. I do not want a fucking US military base in my very-much-not American city. They definitely won't care about us. No American sub base in Perth. 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Hang on, haven't One Notion barred some media organisations from their press conferences based on what No Notion think their political beliefs are? 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Problem is that many of these companies -particularly large ones - apparently *never* make any taxable income (look at Santos - nothing in 11 years). Eventually it's not capital expenditure, it's taking the fucking piss. 100
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 06/10/2026One wonders if Israel somehow manages to get kompromat on all these political wannabes who visit Israel. It would certainly explain a lot. 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Would be nice if *Labor* actually fought ON now, instead of just implementing policies designed to woo their voters. Albanese Labor's opposition to One Notion is performative, nothing more. 140
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Many years ago when I had a similar bike commute (23km IIRC) I used to go one way each day Mon-Thu and public transport the other. (Friday's commute would be based on what I had on in the evening - car, bus, sometimes both ways on bike) 110
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If the FO part of FAFO is nothing, the FA part will continue indefinitely. The fascists and their lapdogs need to FIND OUT. 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Maybe it should be Gina's Nation Party. Because that's certainly what the owner believes should be. 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'd happily accept that if the bad things happen to Altman, Zuckerberg, Musk etc. 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I don't think she'd really care. The peasants are for exploiting, regardless of their nationality. 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Funny. Gina's against immigration, like One Notion... unless of course it's underpaid indentured workers for her mines. 100
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Sounds like time for the entitled twat defence.... "They can't say that about me!!! Waaah" "Is it true?" "Yes, BUT *THEY* CAN'T *SAY* THAT" 020
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Maps. In fact as a result of that, I have a very good knowledge of how all the main roads in my city link to each other. It would be very hard for me to get lost, I just need to find a main road and work it out from there. Also allows me to know if the satnav is giving me bad directions. 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Methinks that King Charlie's recent issues with his former brother-in-law will be nothing compared to those his actual brother are about to bring around for him. Anyone might think a hereditary monarchy is a bad idea... 020
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If you like this story, follow @georgepenney.bsky.social if you don't already, who's daily vignettes of life are one of the highlight of my social media feed 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This would seem to be AI techbros wanting the Pope to consider them capable of emulating God. Nah, they're just very naughty boys. 2654
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 02/10/2026We should turn the entire mining sector into a cash cow. Not just the fossil fuel sector. If we have to extract fossil fuels (and we don't - but that's a different topic), then FFS at least make it so there is *some* minor benefit to someone other than shareholders. 100
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Royalties are not taxes, they're a (minimal) payment for the actual resource to its owner (the crown, meaning public revenue). This is not tax. And PAYG is paid not by Santos, but by *Santos's employees*, so is utterly irrelevant to what the company pays. 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I have a thought on this: what if companies were not allowed to donate to political parties any more than 1% of the amount of tax they paid? 052
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I had no idea what my wife wanted to do until a couple of days before our wedding - it was entirely her decision, and I would have been fine with any choice she made. (FWIW, she changed her name) 120
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Funny how so many large companies can run for years and years with a taxable income of zero or near zero. I can understand a couple of years of investment, but the constant, never ending "nothing to declare" is just pissing on the average PAYE taxpayer from on high. 030
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 01/10/2026She's trying to apply the tradition in Australia that it's worse to call someone a racist than to actually *be* a racist. If the pointy hat fits Poorlean.... 021
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Here's the potential replacement candidates then 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Moving to Collingwood rather than a WA club where he'd get to be near his kids says a lot about Lachie Neale, and not much good. 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Article goes on to list five words... 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It almost certainly was - mine was a shot about how Uhlmanny that sort of anti-renewables line would be. 120
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I would have guessed that was Uhlmann if you asked. 111
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 29/09/2026So, after the spectacular job that interest rate rises did in opening the Straits of Hormuz, the RBA have decided to use the same mechanism to ensure Bab-al-Mandab remains clear to traffic? 072
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Whether you got healthcare or not is irrelevant against the scale of this atrocity. You'd have been better off spending the money restocking Pete Hegseth's private bar or building Trump a personal Maccas inside the remnants of the East Wing than this. 060
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I would expect there's a whole lot more going on there than just character references. 100
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I just realised your copy was just the Fellowship of the Ring - the one I had was the single-volume version of the trilogy. 120
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 25/09/2026If you use your phone's actual camera though, you have to be quite conspicuous in doing so. Not the same as perv glasses. I think connecting to "inconsipicuous" (aka hidden) remote cameras is considered a massive grey area though. Not saying these things don't have uses, but for most people, no. 000
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The UN GA should move anyway. To somewhere in the "Global South" preferably. Of course, the current US administration would withdraw in about five minutes if anyone suggested such a thing - they like that sense of self-importance they have because it's on their land. 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Whether it violates the spirit of the Constitution there would be trying to read the minds of the original writers. The modern view is clear (hence I'd absolutely dump the prayer), but a view of 130 years ago is harder to make clear when most people were religious. 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026While I'd dump it like it was a litter box present from my cat, you'd be hard pressed to say the prayer violates the letter of those laws - it doesn't establish a religion, it doesn't create religious rules, certainly doesn't ban exercise of religion or even require a test. / 310
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I do think the American love affair with the US Constitution is sweet. But the reality is it's a 250 year old document that is treated like it's supposed to be chiselled in stone, but is only really as effective as the people put in charge of it. And most of them are now in it for themselves. 120
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026There are times I measure to the gram and times I just throw things into the pan 130
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Reading recipes is one thing. Following them is another. 120
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This probably cost less than a flight from Perth does this weekend.... 111
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I wonder, if we just killed 2/3 of the world's billionaires, would we get a better result? 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Is it the FIFA Global Citizen Award? 010
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This is right there with people who name their kids Xavier and insist it's supposed to be pronounced "Ex-avier". Except it's a turtle. 020
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Are they sitting in warehouses, or are they still to be manufactured? A lot of AI stuff seems to be people announcing things that don't exist, at least not yet. 030
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026You're not being governed now, you're being exploited by a crime syndicate and its mob boss puppet. 252
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The biggest difference in ability between the last two Australian PMs is that you knew Scummo would be incompetent *before* he got the job. 020

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Mine is a hard cover released for the centenary of Tolkien's birth in 1997. 110
Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I have that somewhere. It's a lovely edition of the book. Think it was a commemorative edition of some sort. 110
