While I normally abhor a purity test, I do think if you are protesting for Gaza or against Israel in any way on October 7th, you should probably check yourself. Take ONE DAY off to respect what October 7 means for Israel, and for Jewish people everywhere.

Oh yeah I picked her as well at some point! I usually pick everyone at some point in a mystery series so can always claim to be right at the end 😆.

Update: I did not pick it! The person I had picked was indeed a red herring.

Very much hoping that Australia did not rush to support the US strikes on Iran just to seem relevant. Surely there’s more to it than that…? But why did we rush? Would have liked us to hang back and stay out of it as much as possible. ☹️

I’m halfway through it and have tentatively picked someone but could be a red herring. Great series!

Protesting Israel’s actions in Gaza is not antisemitic. Protesting by taking over the campus office of a Jewish professor is antisemitic. Suspending students for doing that is not setting a precedent against free speech.

I mean, sure, if everyone is only applying to the elite versions of everything? Aren’t there other colleges and internships besides the Ivy League and Goldman Sachs? Not saying this isn’t a thing, but maybe it isn’t SUCH a thing www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/o...

So far comparing very favourably to KFC who didn’t even offer staff counselling after the place got robbed by 3 dudes who held a machete to the teenage manager’s throat and who also took months to make superannuation visible (“visible” being the charitable interpretation).

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02... This was just gross. Especially the way Vance lectured like a teacher berating a misbehaving child. It’s all pretext anyway for giving up Ukraine. Anyone could “make a deal” and “stop the war” if that just means handing over Ukraine to Russia.

Musk’s map for the DOGE effort is what he did to Twitter. Which was bad enough in its impact but at the end of the day a corporation after all with no obligation of continuity. But it’s terrifying and unhinged to apply that to government services. I’m so sorry for what the US is going through.

I know there have always been people who complain that the world is moving and changing too fast, but those people were all wrong and pathetic, whereas now, I feel suddenly that the world really is moving and changing too fast, and I’m sure I’m right. Complete coincidence that I’m getting older.

This is frankly awesome. I won’t comment on WFH/office (or the unfair blame on Gen Z), but documentation and comms in corporate life have become unwieldy, ironically partly due to more systematisation producing more ‘data’, so… I welcome whatever comes out of this. www.theage.com.au/business/com...

Example of the unseen love labour done by women: I always fold my family’s t-shirts so that logos (or paint splatters in husbands case) are on the outside so that they don’t have to unfold a T-shirt to know which one it is. Work that people don’t even notice but has an impact nonetheless!

I did 12 laps in a small pool today followed by twenty minutes leisurely but steady treading water and this felt like a good amount of exercise for the first day of a holiday. More walking and swimming tomorrow. 👍🏻😎
