Foreigner. Citizen. Educated. Ignorant. Expert. Fool. Aware. Bewildered. I muddle along, generally fit for purpose.

It’s the ultimate belief = reality. Except it doesn’t, so instead you look like an untethered fool.

Let me introduce you to New Zealand with its North and South Islands. We prefer to think of Australia as our West Island, which just makes your problem worse.

Truely sick thing for a supposedly civilised country to do. Turns out my opinion of this administration could get worse.

He said this at the time, as did many, and it remains a bald-faced lie. Not a matter of opinion. It's just completely untrue as an objective factual matter. Civil marriage laws don't work like that and never have. Just like the legality of divorce and remarriage doesn't affect the Catholic Church.

I’m an outgoing introvert, so being social and busy is fine as long as I get to be still and peaceful. That’s why Autumn is also my favourite season. @jemiaj.bsky.social’s Tea Tableau’s do something similar for me. A moment to pause and reflect on loveliness for its own sake, yet remain connected.

The same thing that stops me from sitting in an oversized truck wearing my sunglasses and baseball cap talking shit about women, brown people, and “communists”. While I can be a fool from time to time I really don’t want to that much of a public twat.

Not as satisfying as chippers, but efficiency and throughput will be important I guess.

I totally agree! I couldn’t understand the idea of in-house legal having revenue - unless your org actually charges you out to internal customers. Which would be artificial and weird as it just creates a barrier to taking expert advice.

Fit for purpose @fitforpurpose.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Agree. That’s why I said maximise potential gain on the other’. Like a lot of business cost centres the cost is direct, but the value is indirect as it is captured by some other part of the business. It’s why I couldn’t understand the idea of in-house legal having revenue.

Publicly claimed to have paid him back. It’s not like the Trump family has a good track record for actually doing what they claim when it comes to this sort of thing.

Fit for purpose @fitforpurpose.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Isn’t legal a cost centre rather than a revenue centre? Admittedly I have little understanding of what you do, but surely the point of in-house counsel to minimise risk and loss on the one hand and maximise potential gain on the other? You’re a cost to the departments that sell products or services?

So 95R near my town jumped again overnight to US$7.96/gal. That’s an increase of $2.96/gal since 19 Feb 26. Our petrol was considered expensive back then. Thanks Trump and everyone who voted for him.

Honesty from Trump! Actually I doubt he understood the question - he just hates the thought of being beaten at something by anyone and whether it’s a good or bad thing is irrelevant.

Maybe we’ve finally identified a good use case for AI? The software could have an embedded agent that reviews the reason and insistgat it matches the requirements of the relevant statute. Even alerting oversight if junk or obvious nonsense is input.

Back in the 80’s I got a job as a research scientist without a PhD. To the best of my knowledge every scientist employed by that institution since has a PhD. By the mid 90s we had PhDs applying for Technicians positions to get a foot in the door.
