Here's a thing Claude just said to me: "The posture fork is the crisp choice and the universal floor. Is there a second day-one call genuinely worth surfacing, or does more than one fork dilute the magic beat?" What are we doing here, people.

If you finish the toilet roll in a public toilet / cafe etc, do you find and install the replacement roll, or do you leave the empty roll in place? Your answer tells me everything I need to know about you.

The difference between having a cat and having a dog is staggering. Having a dog is like having child who’s disgusting. Having a cat is like having a painting that’s mad at you.

I just received my PLR/ELR statement. PLR/ELR is a way that Australian writers can receive income from their books in libraries and schools. I remind writers to do your bloody paperwork so you can get paid and I remind readers if you borrow our books from libraries we still get paid.

My strategic ally told me airshows keep eating his fighter jets so I asked how many fighter jets he has and he said he just goes to the hanger and gets gets a new fighter jet afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding fighter jets to airshows and then his taxpayers started crying.

Forgive me for sharing this again, but the Kyle Hudson inquest was incredibly affecting – and revealing – about the depth of harm gambling can cause to a young man with no adverse circumstances, the info betting companies have, and crucially, what they do with it.

Kyle Hudson joined a betting app on his 18th birthday, and lost his final, $1,300 bet on the morning of his 2021 death. A coroner wants to know if anything can be done to stop it from happening again

Making slight changes to tax settings (especially half-assed tinkering by grandfathering things) is not going to resolve our housing crisis. The market will not adequately create or distribute the things we need to survive.

A lot of people in my professional circle are having a big cry about CGT. I have so many thoughts about it all, but the main one is: are you not embarrassed to respond to a change that makes our society theoretically more equitable with "wahhh, my imaginary millions"? Come on.

Dr Richard Denniss dismantles the gas industry’s favorite threat. If taxes kill investment, why is the gas industry rushing to Norway to pay 78%? 🙄 “They are playing us for fools.” 🔥 Nationals’ Susan McDonald has no rebuttal & scrambles to change the subject.
