Quite the surprise very early this morning to wake up with twice as many cats as I had last night.

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

I can see why the ‘give them a stern talking to and in the process lots of great ideas’ method wasn’t working, to be fair.

For those of you reading along from overseas, ‘muck up day’ is the last day of school in the final year. Shenanigans ensued. Many delightful and heartwarming… many were not.

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.

First thing that comes to mind is that we’re going to have a whole lot of autistic birds if RFK is right. Huge if true.

It’s misogyny all the way down. Control of women’s bodies. The treatment of Caster Semenya and others comes to mind.

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.

Cyanotype cat.
A cat silhouetted against a window, looking outwards. The cat is surrounded by pot plants.

The whole picture is in shades of blue because it’s a cyanotype.

My repayments could be $550 a month, but they won’t be. (8.7% interest rate)
A screenshot of a home loan repayment calculator. It says how much would you like to borrow? 700000 is put in the calculator.

The calculator estimates repayments could be $550 per month.

Got a new cat.
A wild Australian brushtail possum is eating cat food out of a bowl in a well lit kitchen. The possum likes carbs.

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.
