Idea for servos: set up a way to order a coffee at the bowser and then it’s ready when you go in to pay. This would get me 100% of the times I go to a servo

The place I donate blood gives points that you can exchange for gas cards which means I actually know the current exchange rate of blood for oil. Blood is going for 20.618 times an equivalent amount of oil.

Please - get every Kirsty you know to call ABC 774 Victoria tonight after 830. Trying to set a world record for a young UK Kirsty living with a brain tumour. Our number 1300-222-774

grabbing every small business owner I can find by the shoulders and yelling directly into their faces that IF I DON'T HAVE AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT I CAN'T SEE ANY OF YOUR SHIT GET A FUCKING WEBSITE

Streaming services have always been pretty bad at giving me a playlist based on vibes without repeats or weirdness but being served "slop" in amongst real #music is unforgivable. I'm out.

I have never wanted a cargo bike more than this

I wrote a little piece about why Sonny Rollins was a consummate artist, and what that tells us about the difference between art and AI slop publiccomment.blog/p/saxophone-...

Now they've got CGI, but in the olden days frogs and pigs had to learn how to ride bikes just like everybody else. Happy #BicycleBirthday to the man who gave movement and voice to Miss Piggy, Fozzie, and Animal (not to mention Yoda), Frank Oz! Born May 25, 1944 From The Great Muppet Caper (1981)

My talk "Cryptic crosswords, Code golf and Learning the rules of a language" has been accepted by @pyconau.bsky.social Squee! I have already asked @liam_runnalls of permission to use some clues. This is going to be fun!

Clearly time for a re-watch! Also side note, hang on to your DVDs folks! In Australia it's currently streaming on 4 different platforms, coincidentally none of the ones that I'm signed up to...

G'day lovers of fabulous community radio. I wanted to let you know that the petition to save Sydney's 2SER-FM is on the way to 6K signatures. YEE HAW. if you haven't signed, you know what to do.. c.org/ZyxhprvTLk

Just saw @mattbevan.bsky.social talk about his new book _If You're Listening (Declassified)_ at @gleebooks.bsky.social in Sydney. Can confirm that he's as enthralling in real life as he is on the podcast, and his Winston Churchill is something to behold

What’s this I hear of the Oxford comma now being categorized as evidence of using AI? I find such suggestions to be presumptuous, inappropriate, and offensive.

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

The real message of Frogger is the dangers of commuting in a city that doesn't have reliable public transit.

Wild.

earlier this morning at the gym i was on a beastie boys kick and i was reflecting on how their music — which i discovered at like 10 — is a constitutive part of my personality, from my sensibilities to my politics and general demeanor towards the world

Just look at my new spatula! Gaze upon it ye mighty & etc. @hogesonline.bsky.social made it for me today because she had access to workshop tools, wood, and some spare time. And because she likes me, I guess? #woodworking #kitchenTools

Just played a CD.. All the songs were mixed to the same volume and, get this, no adverts at all. I'm telling you, this is the future.

Impressed by the number of bikes and bike lanes in Bristol. The city could have said, look, we are made entirely of hills, biking is madness, maybe we could have a funicular or something. Instead they said no, we are strong, we can do it, we will have the finest quads in all the kingdom 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴

If you see this, post a concert photo you took

Amazing….Mike D doing "So What’cha Want" with his sons' band 🔥

We have sparkling protein drinks now and that’s just one step away from real honest to god Soylent Green

If You’re Listening: Declassified is being released on Tuesday (28/4), and can be ordered now here: www.harpercollins.com.au/978146071922... I’m going to be travelling doing events and signing copies. Here’s the events coming up soon, would love to see you there: linktr.ee/Matt_Bevan_B...

Travel is wild. Hello, stranger with laminated sheet showing tour prices. I will go on that tour where I pay a second stranger for a third stranger to take me to a seemingly sea-worthy boat so a fourth stranger can drive the boat to a fifth stranger who will show me a world heritage site. Thank you!

This is the cyberpunk future I was promised

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

Enough

Wish I'd worn my glasses today

BlueSky needs more #tuba. Fat Freddy's Drop horn section bringing it at the Enmore in Sydney . Such an excellent show.

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

Parental tip: at the beginning of the birthday party season, buy 15 small Lego sets and put them in the closet and you can just grab from the pile on the way out the door

What up BlueSky asks? I'm not sure to be honest. The jellyfish? The building? IDK. #jellyfish #sydney #construction

Hey groovy kids, want a fun night out with a classy, talented dude and....ummmm....me? Dust & Groove is back Wed eve in Syd, celebrating music, vinyl and silliness. With the inimitable Dave McCormack, lead singer of Custard and voice of Bandit in Bluey. Yee haw events.humanitix.com/dust-and-gro...

I'd like a bicycle pannier shaped like a propane tank.

Sign me up!

why do nerds suddenly appear every time I post here

Me: My friend disappeared completely from social media. I can't tell whether she's alive or dead Them: You could call her..? Me: Them: Me: I guess I'll never know

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Firing up BlueSky to anxiously await @mattbevan.bsky.social s hot takes on Sydney - Newcastle high speed rail "shovel ready in 2 years" (again). There must be a state election coming?

I've been nominated for a Women Leading Tech award for my work with Girls Programming Network and St Andrew's Cathedral School if you know me and want to endorse me you can add your vote to the People's Choice survey www.surveymonkey.com/r/GTH3P8D I'd really appreciate it. Fingers crossed

me, an idiot: words have clear meanings and even when they're ambiguous you can work it out from the context you, the word "bimonthly": lol no
