Scribbles away in a garret overlooking the Illawarra Railway. Edits ESIA reports. Spends much time on trains. Pines for the Round Pond. Lives in interesting* times. Looks on in horror as the world turns to custard. Walk with me.

HUGE news Kind of shocking that it's up to the High Court to make decisions democratic governments are proving incapable of making. And kind of shocking that it was a split decision. But massive congrats to everyone who made this happen. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why, oh, why, is dealing with #Medicare online so effing hard? Why, oh why, do I need to see an actual person for a tiny clerical request that should involve checking a radio button to generate a report I can then send to my health fund? I defeats the purpose of self-service, surely?

Entrained. Sort of. That thing, where there’s a train on the platform, and the indicator board says “Cronulla”, so everyone gets on the train. The doors shut, the train goes the WRONG way.

Will this attract criminal and civil charges against OpenAI? It should. Maybe hitting them in the hip pocket and sending directors to gaol will make them be more careful. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Saturday night in #ApartmentLyf, a gathering in a flat up the hallway, all you can hear are very loud voices, sounding off in disagreement, followed by strangled-cat-karaoki, followed by rhythmic clapping. Someone (not me) has already banged at their door begging them to keep it down.
