Highlight was helping to fix an old Singer sewing machine (from 1946). Still good for another eighty years 😊

St Kilda Repair Cafe was busy day today with lot of things to fix. I had three toasters: one couldn’t be fixed; one worked when tested - I’ll call that fixed 🙂; and one caught fire 🔥 😱 Fixed a blender that needed new motor brushes. Helped fix a lamp, and an electric caving knife.

The thing that I hate most in the world is some mother fucker in a Winter Park McMansion who thinks that scamming people is cool and smart but paying taxes is for suckers. These dicks think they’re winning but their souls smell like ass and they’ve built nothing but wealth.

It’s a good thing this parcel was marked as “fragile”. Imagine what would have happened otherwise? (All good as the contents were well padded)

I’m rich! I’m rich! 💰💰💰😊 Apparently I had a rich relative in Canada 🇨🇦 who passed without a will and the attorney will split it with me. Can’t be a scam as it’s not an email. Right? Right??? 😂😂😂

What is in the Epstein files that is so bad that they have to "Wag the Dog" this hard? All we need now is a POW and a song by Willie Nelson, and it would be complete.

I keep seeing friends who aren't thrilled that Word is newly enshittified. At the risk of sounding like one of Those Guys, there is a magnificent, full featured, entirely free alternative called Libre Office that works on all platforms. I've used it exclusively for over a decade.

thoughts&prayers Meanwhile, Notice how Trump will do anything to avoid releasing the Epstein files … that were on their desks ready to be released on Day One? Then didn’t exist? Then Congress released some of them … even though they didn’t exist .. but they did on Day One?

It’s the rich media owners telling you it’s the migrants to blame.

Paul Shipley @paulshipley.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

It’s not the migrants increasing the cost of living, it’s the rich putting up prices.

It’s not the migrants taking your job, it’s the rich who sacked you and gave your job away.

After over 25 years of using Photoshop, and even co-authoring a book on it, I'm moving to GIMP as Adobe have just doubled the price of the subscription. They join Netflix in the bin, with Microsoft 365 and Plex to go soon as well.

Just made one of the easiest decisions ever and cancelled my Netflix subscription. "Your Basic plan is being discontinued, ... Standard with ads plan automatically begins ...." - Netflix The new ad-free plan is double what I was paying. Given that I can watch ads for free - why pay for Netflix?
