I discovered the frozen saucer test last year. (I'm still learning the basics) Your lime marmalade looks awesome. I'm working up to marmalade, it is still daunting. 😀

There is a psychiatric condition called oniomania, where you get addicted to the rush from a new purchase. It is driven by isolation and low self-esteem. I've often wondered if being gaslit by technology makes it worse.

9 News covered it (us country types sadly have to watch commercial news in bad weather). They spun it as you'd expect though.

It was about a teenager recruited on Roblox. They became friends in the game, then when they moved to Discord, the recruiter tried to get her to self harm. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/764_(or... Is the organisation

The full story of Archer's egregious behaviour didn't become public until after he appeared in Bridget Jones' Diary. The producers could have edited him out for the DVD or walked it back via a statement, but didn't, as a pretentious criminal at a book launch was "artistically appropriate". Huh.

I've been getting a serious increase in friend requests from twenty something girls on FB. I assumed they were romance scammers but after watching the piece on the 764 group on #abc730 last night, I wonder.

Yeah, i said in simple sentences that the bot wasn't understanding me and wanted to speak to a human. The reply again was nonsensical. Joke is on them - straight after, I cold emailed a competitor who were about to advertise and said I'd fit the role. 😉

I got invited to take on a contract at a company and there was an AI interview before the person interview. I emailed the support address (also AI) asking why I needed an AI interview if their LinkedIn bot said I was suitable. The reply was gibberish. Fantastic. Great work, well done AI.

When I was living in the CBD, I'd have starved without Pho. I must have ordered "FO" about 100 times before someone set me straight. Still marvel at how patient the waiters were with us Anglos. (I had a GF at uni with family name Nguyen so never mucked that one up)

Last week someone in Korumburra had their car stolen and joy-ridden to Lang Lang. Despite the fact that the police caught and charged the offenders, there were posts on local forums about needing to be tougher on crime. Gina's Sturmbahnfuhrer has definitely picked her whistle targets well (sadly).

Yeah, I take on contracts on a part time basis. Every time, an HR bozo suggests I "just take this one on full time". 90pc look elsewhere when I tell them to politely fuck off. I know if I go full time, I'll encounter some mediocre dweeb who has made a career out of pushing for unpaid overtime.

I think the general issue of The Greens being made up of both old school Laborites and Green-Left adherents is worth discussing and pretty pivotal to interpreting David's words. PK touched on but barely. (And Rhetoric? Seriously?) ABC aren't nailing that unfortunately.

The theme of "if you two do the deed, you're getting married" was drilled into the DNA of so many 80s sitcoms. I knew that it was not always true, but it took until I was about 20 to realise it was utter crap. I've met plenty of people who never figured it out. Hope the next date is better.

I remember having to have Vegemite on toast during Keating's recession that we had to have. 40+ years on, I still haven't forgotten. I do wonder if Albo will be seen in a similar light around 2060...

CPAC Australia importing the “NatCon” title may be simply shorthand, or it might signal an ideological nod to the global right-wing movement drifting towards nationalism, immigration control and cultural preservation. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/30/c...

CPAC Australia is calling itself 'NatCon' this year. It may mean more than you think
Sure, it's short for "national conference". But CPAC Australia would be well aware it's also the name of another very prominent European conference for national conservatism.

Thanks Lucy. It reminded me that in 2026, we really need a collective term for a group of RWNJs at a conference. Social Media suggests "echo chamber" but I think "ECHO CHAMBER" is more appropriate. 😀

There are pest companies who will install one way gates for possums to get out but not back in. They may do it for foxes. We have a colony of rabbits under our house. One of our cats has figured out where the kittens come out when they are big enough. Guess what happens next....

I often lament that so many "progressive" thinkers gave Bill Clinton a free pass over his treatment of MonicaL. It's true that Trump is far worse, but the ideological leniency shown to Clinton, gives whataboutists the ammunition they need to prolong misogyny.
