Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 3hIt is true that Lonesome Dove is getting a lot of love on male Booktok, but yes the rest of this article is steaming hot garbage. 000
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 4hWell the genuine data centre company Firmus partnered with dumped them after their hypercubes flooded a data centre. Another real company Maas constructions is being hammered for their investment/exposure. Firmus is Firepower fuel pills for data centres. 000

Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I saw a Mustang SUV the other day (the Mach-E I discovered later) - a car of impressive ugliness. 020
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Sure - but they have way, way, overcooked that pigeon. As Colin said, pigeon for consumption is an expensive game meat - the providore must be crying. 020
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I knew the All Blacks would win, handsomely, because that prize nitwit, Peter FitzSimons wrote in the SMH today the Wobblies would win! If nothing else, FitzSimons is THE kiss of death for a sporting team. 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Of all the unread politician memoirs, I reckon this’ll be the most unread-est! Family, the op Ed writers at the Oz, SNOD presenters - maybe 100 copies (not counting libraries). 000
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Wow - I didn’t see that the price had halved on Thursday. Strategic Investor Eleventy Joe Hockey has done his dough. Both pleasing and true to form. Best you stick to grovelling around Trump, Eleventy, that’s what you’re good at. 020
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Hypercubes - the Peter Brock Energy Polariser of the AI age. The whole thing is so laughably put together, it’s no surprise the media (and Eleventy Joe Hockey) fell for it. 000
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Well, Eleventy Joe Hockey is a ‘strategic investor’ - with any luck he’ll lose all his dough. Whatever actual value* exists in the company will go to the real investors such as Nvidia. *Firmus started as a bitcoin miner and its technical edge is a maguffin called ‘hypercubes’, so there’s no value. 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Brava to the acting magistrate who clearly weighed the evidence and refused bail. Too often dangerous DV offenders are released on bail and go on to commit further, often escalating, offences. I suspect Wood’s Denis Denuto lawyer will be replaced by someone more cunning, and he may yet get bail. 000
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 09/10/2026NSW had something similar to this back in the 1980s, and it led to the death of David Gundy - who was shot by police in his own bedroom during a ‘bungled police raid’. There was another police shooting not long after - the victim survived being shot in the face - during another bungled police raid. 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Hypercubes! The latest iteration of the Peter Brock Energy Polariser! I love how the real reason the IPO was pulled is because the initial investors were worried they couldn’t pump ‘n’ dump. 000
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Here’s hoping ‘Strategic Investor’ Eleventy Joe Hockey isn’t too badly burned… 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 09/10/2026What’s the bet the Firmus technology, the Hypercube (snigger), turns out like Peter Brock’s Energy Polariser? 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Well you see, Formis was founded as a bitcoin mining company…so the pivot to whatever the IPO was about (hypercubes? Indonesian data centres?) makes your point nicely. 000

Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Steady, Eleventy Joe Hockey is a ‘strategic investor’ in the upcoming Firmus Technologies IPO/rug pull, so don’t backchat him… 000
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Eleventy Joe Hockey as a ‘strategic investor’ eh? Where do I sign up? 020
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Well that explains why Tony Martin blocked me a few months ago when I complained about the cosy TV work arrangements for a select few comedians - he was working on this ghastly number. 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 06/10/2026To be fair the whole concept is garbage. The epitome of the insular and incestuous nature of Oz light entertainment, where the same dozen comedians rotate through panel shows. Once, channel surfing, I saw Peter Helliar on the Amazing Race, Taskmaster and Eve of Destruction all at the same time! 110
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The market bought the SpaceX IPO con, it’ll buy this too. 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Have a look at the famous James Baldwin vs William F Buckley debate at Cambridge and see what a despicable racist POS Buckley was. Buckley may have feigned Southern manners, but he belongs firmly in Project 2025. 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Unfortunately (or fortunately) he sold his business interests, but is retained as the face. He’s already been dropped… 110
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 04/10/2026And it helped Deep Purple’s tax difficulties as it was proof they were resident and working in Switzerland and thus not subject to the UK’s wealth tax. 020
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That is interesting. In battles for leadership of international sporting federations the investment in campaigns is usually relative to the amount of graft/corruption $ that can be kicked back to said investors by the victor. Is there that much money in chess? 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I tried to write a skeet making sense of this argument, but gave up. If nothing else, I don’t see how increasing the value of the AUD (which is normal a result of higher interest rates), helps anything. 011
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It seems to be a thing - Booktok influencers (such as Michael Cheney and Steven Aitchison) ‘write*’ and self publish book series. Usually 7-10 volumes, but very short and sold mainly in e-form. *the use of AI is disputed by these ‘authors’ 020
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 29/09/2026An entrepreneur who wants to open a restaurant, no less! If only there was a word for that… 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Great article! The recent reforms to the RBA appear to have made things worse. The complete abandonment of consequentialist thinking (how things play out to point n) for formalism (how a thing looks, its form) in public policy will be the undoing of us all. 070

Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Not if it’s set in the Klingon Empire and follows a half human/Klingon through their adventures in the most un-Woke universe there is. Actually, woke-joke aside, I’d be there for Star Trek that just had Klingons, Romulans and Cardassians. Ooh maybe like a Blake’s 7 scenario… 100
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I used to work with someone who claimed, only half jokingly, that ‘money [fiat currency] isn’t real!’ The US debt is going a long way to proving her right… 110
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Beautiful. Catch-22, the Peter Principle and the (pre-Scott Adams drinking the kool aid) Dilbert Principle all in one. You could do a Ted talk on that. 020
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I trust those four were soon promoted and/or awarded medals (as per Yossarian in Catch-22)? 100
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Yes, but also important context to know that 200+ countries that aren’t Aus, US, &UK - ie *the world* see Netanyahu as a genocidal maniac. 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I bet the spooks at the Australian Signals Directorate, who are responsible for the absurdly clunky security features of MyGov, are feeling pretty silly. 000
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I get that a Barrister must conduct the best defence possible, but surely they’re not allowed to just make stuff up? Colin Mandy, SC, did an outstanding defence for Erin Patterson, mainly because it was plausible. This Lamar-Condon defence is risible. 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 20/09/2026My mother had a molar pregnancy berwixt my brother and I. Less common than ectopic pregnancy, but still requires D&C… I’m guessing the forced birthers don’t care about that either? 021
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Looks very nice. A Tasmanian Pinot is like a Thai restaurant, very hard to find a bad one :-) 010
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Well there was that one time they realised the lead in leaded petrol was poisoning everyone. It only took 15-20 years to phase out. Fun Fact: the guy who discovered that tetraethyllead stops engine knocking is the same guy who found CFCs make great aerosols and refrigerants - Thomas Midgley Jr 011
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Hah! Wander down to the ACT Supreme Court any day of the week and their will be an ADFA or RMC cadet on trial for sexual offences. Like this one: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...abc.net.auFormer ADFA cadet accused of secretly filming women faces more chargesA former Australian Defence Force Academy cadet is facing a further 160 charges after allegedly secretly filming female cadets in the bathroom on the Canberra campus. 162
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Yes! So much so there’s a note at the start from the publisher to say that there is no printing error. Fowles’ original version of The Magus also has a diabolical ending. He got sick of people writing to him about it and rewrote the ending (& other bits) as a Revised Edition. 000
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 19/09/2026John Fowles did this in The French Lieutenant’s Woman. It’s a cracking read and the ending is so diabolical that the publisher has a note at the start to say it is not a printing error. He also less explicitly achieved the same effect in original version of The Magus. 000
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 19/09/2026My uni housemates actually bought a pair of these via mail order. black plastic frames with cardboard ‘lenses’. The lenses had pinholes in them. If you looked through them at your hand the parallax error made it look, vaguely, like you could see the bones. That was it. Total rip off. 020
Jimbocool @jimbocool.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Olympic Coxed 4 speed is 22-24 kilometres per hour. Saltwater crocodile top speed is 27-29 kilometres per hour. You’re right - the fastest regatta ever awaits. 010
