How much of a snob would I be if I fixed the spelling on my garage?

Picture of a green garage door with the words “apocalyps now” and “dope!” Spray painted on it.

Our generation must have been really BAD. The schools are doing anything to avoid muck up day! Fun and slightly subversive activities all week! They are being bussed to the other end of Sydney and into the wilderness for the last day ever of school!

They’re advertising ring cameras in Australia at the moment. As far as i can tell, the only use case is watching people steal your packages after the fact. Am I missing something?

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Statistician: we expect that if the experiment cup observation was run 100 times independently, 95% of the time the cup would be between half full and half empty.

Every time somebody posts about naked photos of Melania or implies she was a sex worker, you’re not being progressive, you’re being a misogynist and playing from the same old handbook. Also can we pls stop using sex workers to imply somebody is the bottom layer of humanity. That’s misogyny too.

Every time I try to get in or out of a Tesla, I am reminded of this book.

The cover of the book ‘the design of everyday things’ by Donald A. Norman. The cover features a tea pot with the handle on the same side as the spout.

Was this AI being dumb, or a human with a sense of humour? I’m rooting for the latter.

My repayments could be $550 a month, but they won’t be. (8.7% interest rate)

The calculator estimates repayments could be $550 per month.

Update on George: I left him a small, wildlife friendly, snack by the door so he wouldn’t need to come inside and make a mess of the fruit bowl (again). As a precaution I hid all the fruit. Old boy is a believer in choice and likes bagels, apparently.

A picture of a kitchen with a cupboard and dishwasher behind and a dining chair in the foreground. Poking out from behind the chair is a dark brushy tail and grey body. It looks like a cat but is actually an Australian brush tail possum escaping carbohydrate based persecution.

The kitchen is fully lit but the possum does not care.

Possum just walked straight into my kitchen, looking for the fruit bowl. George beat a retreat, but only after I called him on it.

We got a new cat. Brushy tail, boopable nose, big, big eyes. At night it climbs in the window, samples the fruit bowl 🍈 🍇 and climbs right out again. It’s a possum. My kitchen is night time buffet to a possum. I guess it’s time to shut some windows… but it’s been named.

In honour of an old tortoise slowly defying death, I give you my favourite animal headline of all time.

A screenshot of the title of a news story. Headline reads: ‘make better choices’: endangered Hawaiian monk seals keep getting eels stuck up their noses and scientists want them to stop.

There is a picture of a seal with an eel up its nose looking like an idiot

In my case I was looking for a missing parenthesis for three hours. It was a misplaced comma. I want to believe those days are behind me and I am Now Too Good for this to happen. You all know that belief is delusional.

Are there any entomologists or otherwise insect adjacent people in Sydney who would be willing to take on a work experience kid? I can reciprocate in the form of stat consulting / help and/or statistical software engineering help/consulting for you and/pr your lab.

It’s always bothered me that Pokémon have language and emotions which to me confirms sentience. And yet they are captured, traded and commanded. This is why my kids don’t like to watch stuff with me.

On this day sixteen years ago, due to a combination of overconfidence and under thinking, my father’s birthday cake exploded into flames at a small Thai restaurant in south Sydney. It was the greatest thing to ever happened to my family and is still hilarious 16 years later.
