CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

To think I was alive to see desktop PCs come into existence and will likely see muderbots roam the streets when the police buy these things in huge numbers, a few years from now.

Am I reading to much into this, is it really just gross incompetence? Trying to give feedback but the feedback form doesn't work. Certainty that I'm not a robot only lasts for 60 seconds. After that all bets are off, I could be a robot now. Not sure what I was for the 60 seconds I wasn't a robot!

Talentless schumck loves a dumb AI that is smarter than him.

@albomp.bsky.social’s #FOI Amendment Bill cannot be voted on this year. A week is a long time in politics - three months is an eternity. We must remain vigilant to fend off Albanese’s disgraceful attack on open and transparent Government. #auspol

It's true, when it comes to birthday presents it is the thought that counts. The case of Qantas wine hubs just gave for my birthday is exactly the kind of present I love. Redeemed with my Qantas points, of course.

The proper remedy to our budget deficit is not triming spending, it’s to increase revenue. 1) Have multinationals pay their fair share of tax. 2) Collect proper royalties for our (finite) resources. 3) Stop just exporting our rocks - value add here. 4) Stop Defence waste. #auspol

Without knowing anything about it, it sounds like something awful that Microsoft will force onto it users whether they want it or not, and most will not want it.

We don’t have a gas shortage, we have a gas export problem. Santos are gaming the system and pushing up the price of gas paid by 🇦🇺 households & industry. We don’t need new projects, we need to reserve uncontracted export gas for 🇦🇺 now! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

A new study published in Nature Climate Action finds Woodside’s Scarborough gas project could cause 100s of heat-related deaths & exposed 500k people to unprecedented heat. Govt can’t claim climate leadership while approving projects like this. www.afr.com//policy/ener...

The lights on the hill. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Nothing says “I don’t give a fuck” quite like the developer that defaults birth date to today. Just how many new borns are signing up for MyGov ID? Next time gov.au totally fuckup tech, you know just many fucks we’re given to ensure it works. Age verification clusterfuck is brewing right now.

What's with the obsession for fucken barn doors in your house? Every search for bifold door comes up with mostly barn door articles.

Alarming news from Noosa Council. Notice includes a touch of gaslighting to ease the pain of their negligence. No, Noosa Council, you a not proactive, you are reactive to the event. Had you been proactive this would not have happened! www.noosa.qld.gov.au/About-Counci...

@albomp.bsky.social is sending billions to US & UK shipyards for #AUKUS and then can’t find money to support the core science necessary for future industry innovation, protection of the environment and improved quality of life. He’s short-changing our future. #auspol

Someone needs to post that little clip just aired on Media Watch of 2019 Anthony Albanese pointing out all the problems concerning FOI that 2025 Anthony Albanese is intent on making worse Massive hypocrite #auspol

Time to call it was it is. My ADHD insistence I put things away to they don't get lost is really "pre-losing" the thing. In 6 months time I won't have a clue where I put it away so it didn't get lost. I mean, they do turn up eventually. Sometimes years later.

@australianlabor.bsky.social are hiding the cost blowout of a LNP project failure. Why are they damaging their own reputation to protect the opposition's failures?!? Is this what the secret deal with Murdoch's idiot son requires for protection in their media?

Reading about Sungrow batteries the other day and found a bit that said it switched into backup mode in 10msec when grid goes out and you might not notice it happen. Just sent 45mins trying to find it again and can't. No excuse for language to be so mangled just because it's a Chinese company.

It's the topic everyone in Canberra is talking about and now thanks to ChaserBet, you can win big on this bizarre story!

Yesterday, in reply to a question about #FOI, @albomp.bsky.social went out of his way to take a swipe at me. His words were unbecoming of a PM, but I’m glad my #transparency efforts are getting under his skin. It shows our anti-secrecy campaign is having an impact. #auspol

I use the mute account option rather than the block option, as a rule. If what I post annoyed someone, I don't want that to stop. Major reds flags to get muted are: - emojies in the handle - only a single image meme ralting to the orange horror in any way - support for any brand of political cunt

What??? They threw a former Wallabies Captain out of their Parliamentary sporting club because he spoke up about gambling!!!! What??? #auspol #4Corners > www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

@albomp.bsky.social says #FOI costs the Govt too much. When I FOI’ed Treasury in 2023 for briefs it had provided Jim Chalmers on stage 3 tax cuts, the Govt spent $53K resisting public disclosure. They lost! The taxpayers lost! FOI is not costing too much - Govt secrecy is. #auspol

“Mates channel MacGyver in rescue of galah trapped in power pole in WA’s north” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10... Impressive that ABC News managed to get wrong both MacGyer’s decade and the actor who played him.

‘Prepare to defend Taiwan’ suggests the architect (and beneficiary) of the program that is draining our own Defence budget to pay for a capability that will, at best, arrive years after a predicted Taiwan conflict - but will, in fact, likely never arrive. 1/2 #AUKUS #auspol

Coles did a major upgrade to their credit card system recently. Its been a bit of a shambles which is pretty normal for Coles. Coles are one of these organisations that has always struggled with making IT systems that work sensibly, or at all. This latest iteration is no different.

Parliament was told that the Commissioner of the NACC didn't have any duties with the Defence Force. That simply wasn't true.

ASIC doesn't prosecute bankers, or NACC the perpetrators of Robodebt. @yelgeb.bsky.social on the blistering double standard in prosecuting white collars v blue, and protecting corporate reputations #auspol #ANZ #austrac michaelwest.com.au/asic-nacc-ex...

Climate change is driving up insurance costs & making homes uninsurable 🇦🇺ns are paying the price while disasters worsen As Minister Bowen said: "The cost of inaction will always outweigh the cost of action" We need real action & investment in adaptation www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

BREAKING: Labor is actively hiding the truth of Australia’s genocidal supply of F35 fighter parts to Israel. My office uncovered via FOI the Defence Department quietly deleted its webpage celebrating Australian companies pumping weapons parts to Israel to keep F35 jets flying.

VentraIP support are asking what to do with the domain name, do I want to delete it? First I've heard that the domain name got created by the failed purchase process after the free offer had expired. It refused to give me the expired free offer, hence the failed attempt to purchase.

I'm on a roll. The software in question is the WinDbg to analyse an unexpected crash dump. Debugger defaults to my Documents folder instead of default location for crash dumps, C:\Windows. Once nav'd to the file it reveals it must be in admin mode not the default non-Admin mode. Dumbest defaults!

Another day, another Microsoft experience. Make me agree to all the Ts & Cs for the software before telling me there is no new software.

Never purchased a domain name. Tried to redeem a free offer a few days after it expired. The sales process wouldn’t accept the debit card used. Not their fault, the gift card meant for online use doesn’t work on numerous websites. However, it left me in their system as if the purchase worked.

#LibSpill This Trumpy knob believes he is a very special boy. He is not. He’s a cardboard cutout cockhead. #AusPol

As @albomp.bsky.social tries to amend the #FOI Act to wrap matters being considered by his ministry in total secrecy, we find out he also led the charge for the #NACC to never hold public hearings. He talks transparency, but walks secrecy. #TransparencyFraud #auspol

Wondering why governments of both persuasions bleat about no money for public hospitals, public schools, Medicare, welfare etc (Right wing @australianlabor.bsky.social; Far right wing @liberalaus.bsky.social), perhaps this article might help: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne.... #auspol

Helping mum out with computer stuff. Can't remember one of the PINs with a strange number suffix. Apparently it is really easy to remember. It's ABC Radio frequency. The AM one, I've never heard of it.

Mum still keeps biscuits tupperware containers. The same ones I remember her buying when I was a kid. She went to Tupperware parties regularly for a time when they were all the rage. These containers are over 50 years old.

I have yet to find a definition of what a lexicon really is that doesn’t require the reader to already know what a lexicon is in order to understand the explanation. Find this way too often with docs written by uber experts.

A reminder to all about Andrew Hastie. He believes: • The Earth is 6,000 years old or less • Humans shared the world with dinosaurs • Noah’s Ark was real • His SAS troops mutilated corpses by cutting the hands off dead Taliban This is not someone fit to hold the reins of power #auspol

Wow, young folk in their first job at KFC. Gave order, chicken, fries, ice tea, spoken clearly and slowly. Looked at me blankly, didn’t get any of it. Repeat slower, still not even one item. 3rd time so slow after fries asked is that all? Didn’t even pickup there were 3 items each time. FFS!

So glad she got both Penny Wongs to come on. I hope they’re nice to each other.
