Space saver tyres are great in theory....but. 'In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice they are not.' As I discovered yesterday. 🤬

Of what I know about human behaviour, the most likely outcome for this individual is to keep transgressing the law (possibly in increasing seriousness). Because the feedback loop is rewarding the behaviour. 🤷‍♂️

Ah bugger, and now it's confirmed that Josh Hazelwood will indeed miss the first Test due to a hamstring strain. #AUSvENG #Ashes2026

Props to the young lady in her ride, windows down, Kendrick Lamar pumping & her nailing every single word in very her own carpool karaoke. 🎤 🚘

Oh great, with The Ashes just days away, our strike bowlers keep breaking down. With Pat out for the first test, now Josh Hazelwood is under a cloud Between our quicks & theirs (Joffra Archer & Mark Wood) this series might come to be known as 'The Battle of the Dodgy Hammies & Suspect Shoulders'.

Whenever I see a startup resorting to equity crowd funding I'm like...

Every day I work at Big Tech I understand this guy more and more

8 pints deep trying to walk home.

Best of luck to the new Trump-approved head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics in spinning this one to his liking.

in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said

From Microsoft's recent filings and the hit it reported on its stake in OpenAI, it is fair to surmise that OpenAI lost around USD $12.5b in the last quarter. 🤷‍♂️

This '50 year mortgage' idea Trump is pushing is generating some epic memes! 😂

“This man knows no beauty and his whole world has devolved into fights on the Internet.” Man: “Liar. I will fight you on the Internet.”

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

In other words, give back some of the revenue raised from these very same people via tariffs; an economic sleight-of-hand.

Goon a movie. Goon in 60 seconds.

I'm sorry but the fact that the NSW Police Commissioner is under the pump re the NSN rally at the steps of their Parliament has much to do with the slogan on display. Had it said 'Migrants out' or 'Australia for the white man', he wouldn't be being grilled by Sarah Ferguson right now.

Uh, just found out that a former consulting colleague, who also happened to be a former Treasury Secretary, passed away over the weekend. Vale T.C., a life of dutiful public service well lived.

You are the company you keep.

The first rule of 'milkshake in the middle of the day club' is that you don't talk about 'milkshake in the middle of the day club'.

'Vibe coding' named word of the year by Collins Dictionary. Um, that's two words, which in my estimation makes it a phrase instead. *Signed on behalf of pedants everywhere.*

When you get to the stage where 1 in 5 households are experiencing food insecurity, you've passed the cost-of-living 'crisis' stage and normalised cost-of-living precariousness. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Mamdani is going to implement Shakira law. Hips will no longer be able to lie.

So Zohran #Mamdani has forebears who left India 200 years ago for a British colony (Uganda), a few decades before mine. A reminder, if it's needed, that people like us are here (in Western nations) because imperial colonisers were there (in Eastern ones). And no, we're not 'fresh off the boat'. 🤷‍♂️

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Some exciting news from Jan Fran and I. We launched our independent media company Ette Media less than five months ago and we're taking our show on the road baby! Ette Live: It's A No From Me.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Congrats to Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries for finding themselves on the wrong side of history. Quite the achievement. 👏

Hedge Fund managers living in NYC right now. #Mamdani

Seems like the guy who threw the sandwich at the federal agent is holding his own in the trial today.

Ground is shifting beneath them. With Trump’s approval plunging to 37 percent, Schumer & Jeffries find themselves in position of being practically the only leaders less popular than Trump himself. Dem voters are exhausted by leaders refusing to confront the oligarchs. truthout.org/articles/62-...

Dolly Parton releases “9 to 5” 45 yrs ago today. “I knew what it was like to be a working woman trying to make a decent living, trying to be taken seriously. .. I wanted a song that sounded playful on the surface but spoke to that frustration .. A song about women .. saying, ‘We deserve better.’”

Cool that renewables have become the cheapest source of energy in the world just as a bunch of reactionary-centrist US pundits have taken up the right-wing "climate vs. cheap energy" framing.

Happy 50th birthday to the Fietsersbond (Cyclists Union), who formed out of this groundswell of activism to campaign for better infrastructure, safer streets, and stronger legal protections; an organization that advocated for cyclists not as nostalgic holdouts, but as rightful users of public space.

Whenever you cycle in the Netherlands, you are riding on the shoulders of giants. Tens of thousands of regular citizens who, five decades ago, took to the streets to fight back against the rampant rise of the car in their community. Without this defiant act, their country would look like any other.🧵

let’s keep this trend going

It's been a hectic year, advising companies as small a headcount as 20 and as large as 20,000 (globally) and I'm ready for the Xmas break to arrive like next week. 😩

So many people are going to die and it’s all preventable

Paris shows what happens when cities put people before cars: cleaner air, greener streets, and healthier lives. The data (and the air) speak for themselves! 🌱🚶‍♀️🚴

The first African author to win the Nobel in literature, Soyinka has been an outspoken critic of governments worldwide.

Just a reminder that Aussie Robyn Denholm, a Chartered Accountant by training, was hand-picked by Elon as Chair in 2018 after the SEC forced him to stop holding both Chair & CEO roles.
