And so he should apologise. And while he’s at it he can apologise for his and his government’s recalcitrant approach to controlling guns in the face of very strong advice from the Tasmanian Police Commissioner. #guncontrolaustralia

I don’t really keep track of cynical rage-bait-posters who farm engagement in Tasmania, but iirc our current police minister is married to an ex ABC journalist?? Which probably makes this worse?

Lollll just discovered my phone jettisoned my banking app to save on storage for all my photos.

I’m in the Burnie arts centre and there’s A HOUSE MUSIC DJ??????????!!!!!!!????? 21yo Jen is effervescent!!!!

Today in Op Shop IDK:

up with SPAGHETTI

Why go on holiday anyway?

I’m sick of “opt-out” toggles for automatically enabled generative AI features. It’s past time to make “opt in” the default setting for sensitive features. www.wired.com/story/please...

Watching The Americans at last (on SBS on demand) and it’s as great as people said it was.

Tasmania is awful! Never come here!

Ultimately very worrying video made by social worker Claire on TikTok about her hacks & tips for calling Centrelink for clients. We were certainly told many times by the Albanese Government and former Minister Shorten that these services had improved. I don't see it. www.tiktok.com/@iwillresour...

Cheerful blooms.

You don’t think you’re influenced and then you realise there’s been a 1000% increase in cherry blossom pink and mint green items in your space ever since Bosley came home, and everything is beautiful, actually.

new White Lotus looks terrible

I forgot it was our anniversary. Jeremy did not, and so now I own this! I also had a period migraine and fell asleep on the sofa, lololol

As an academic, I have decided to pre-empt AI taking my job, so I am going to take ITS job! I am going to start hallucinating, lying to my students, and drinking 700,000 litres of water

Todays Op Shop All Timer:

Yes hi I can’t think about how Australia has no water and yet we are apparently aiming to become a data centre hub I can’t think about that because I will start screaming and never stop screaming.

Pack it up.

Walked through group of dudes who were completely blocking an inescapable bottleneck to chat. Did it without apologising or changing my pace at all, said thank you to those who saw me coming & made a space/got the others to move, & 1 was all, “Ooo, Main Character” Bro, you thought it was you?

Lol my friend who works at a major Australian cultural institution that shall remain nameless (but you all love it) is at a mandatory AI professional development day and is having A Time™️.

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

in honor of Sam Neill, here is one of my favorite movies he ever made

I have finished my work for this evening and want to leave this desk but I am under this big baby and thus under international Cat Law I cannot move. I’m just googling if there’s a Bed Time Exception. I believe it if I take us both to bed there should be.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

While most people knew him for his movies lets not forget the incredible human Sam Neil was too

Now I can clean the paint off my windows.

Can’t believe I forgot about The Tudors!!! & Merlin! What a life - the man was never boring a day in his career. Only a few weeks ago I watched him in a trashtastic Australian movie where he was married to Susan Sarandon but being seduced by a young Emily Blunt. I’d never even heard of it. RANGE.

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

Vale Sam Neill. One third of the hottest throuple ever to grace the big screen, and one of the best of us down here in the Antipodes.

As I write ‘SMART Goals’ for the 8 millionth time, 2 wolves struggle inside me. One is a Capricorn, and one has probably always had ADHD but is not going to get diagnosed and medicated at this late stage. Thus we maintain the checkmate that is my life.

:(

Every day a new Reddit relationships horror I am not clicking on. They used to be intriguing moral dilemmas, now they are just relentlessly sad:

Once a day I think of this.

This seems relevant to [ @juniperlilacs.bsky.social and @disasterruss.bsky.social]‘s interests

I forgot to condition my hair so now I’m pulling out a LOT of it trying to ‘detangle’ with a wide tooth comb before it gets too dry 🥴

I thought I bought a Neutrogena paper based, fragrance free sheet mask like I have before, and I’ve just got it out of the packet and it’s plastic based, and now that it’s been on my face for a while I realise it’s also perfumed 🥴 So I’m giving myself a luxurious rash right now, I guess?

Digital library book means I can read in the bath while I soak in some bubbles and a LOT of soluble magnesium 🥰

We're gonna find out that an hour ago someone placed a $100,000 Polymarket bet that Mitch McConnell would outlive Lindsey Graham

You can speak ill of the dead when, while alive, they spoke and caused ill, of so many others. You don’t have to mourn monsters.

Once again, you should speak ill of the dead, because they're the only ones who can't do you for defo.

It’s definitely breakfast time.

I don’t even go here but I already hate every time someone says ‘fresh legs’.

The only other game I’ve seen being Aus/USA, I’m appreciating the ‘play on’ vibes of the refereeing in this one.

The goalie must be so tired :(

:(

ARMED UNIVERSITIES WTF

I don’t actually know why the game is continuing and I refuse to learn but this really seems like Too Much Game Time.

Also enjoying that Lying Down appears to be a not available strategy.
