The random placement of these 2 posts in my timeline is just perfect

Also, saddling up my high horse: vaccination misinformation promoted by social media platforms is an example of harm affecting those under 16 regardless of whether that age group uses social media

We need a TikTok campaign targeting unvaccinated 16+ yr olds to encourage them to get their catch up vaccinations

Great, those are sorted (1 and 2 daily, 3 as medically indicated)

Here is my cartoon about Mr Jon Kudelka www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Haha, was in Scotland a few weeks ago and can confirm this is correct

Went to the Multi Culti this morning after a gap of a couple of years - had a great time and loved how it is now set out

If not for Mr Feldman appearing in person, I would have assumed him to be a chatbot

This part of our response essay is where I'm at. Boiling down all of politics to electoralism has been absolutely terrible for resisting rising authoritarianism. www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

I made the mistake of watching something celebrating Catherine o’hara on instagram and now my timeline is getting spammed with it …

Or, possibly the standard routines of the world favour people who naturally wake/sleep earlier

My teen’s HASS and English teachers at her high school took a similar approach last year to assessment- analogue writing during class time www.npr.org/2026/01/28/n...

Brew yourself some thoughts on that

I really, really hate the use of ‘percolate’ to mean think about or reflect on something (‘I’ll percolate on that’, as someone I know says regularly).

Searches ‘can I turn this thing off like I can for Siri’

Pretty sure these are Commonwealth offences for any Australians doing this

I’d make an affirmation

My ‘new year, new me’ action today was to finally delete my dormant twitter accounts and delete the app 🎉

Think I’m done with the year and might go to bed

How is this consistent with any notice requirements in statute? Is it a reason to have an administrative decision set aside?

Once hot, now dead white babe actresses are racisting near you

Have never been so proud that my elderly mum refuses social media and continues to refuse it as much as her siblings try to get her to join

I remember thinking in the early 2000s how cool it would be to have central locking for a house with a smart lock. Now I thank the universe for my dumb house and my dumb appliances

I have read many Barry Jones articles over my life and I felt very sad reading what could be his last one

I have not quite done all that work, but there is always the weekend

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%). Lay article attached:

I had reason to visit a US govt website website recently and wondered whether I’d fallen asleep and woken up in the late 90s - same vibe and loading speed

The US is officially in the past now?

News/social media is too depressing, I regret looking

Do people realize that this is also happening with case law? Like Do You Understand What That Fucking Means???

Ah, reminds me of when the Al tool available in my workplace made up a link to the workplace website to provide source evidence (as part of preparing a summary of a couple of documents). Summary was not used. Work: use the tool, it’s great and saves time Workers: no, it does the opposite

I hope the people complaining never get old

Used Firefox to search for information about Vivaldi

This is brilliant. Well done @davidshoebridge.bsky.social www.toomanyguns.org There are 82 registered gun owners and someone in my inner city postcode with 23 bloody guns. Outrageous.

This brought me joy

Used the AI tool work encourages us to use today to do something straightforward like compare 2 documents and prepare a summary of common language. And then used the same prompt with 2 other pairs of documents. Did not go well and don’t think I can use the output. But anyway

I have chosen to just not have access to DMs until BlueSky thinks I’ve turned 16 rather than do this. But I’m curious whether BlueSky has assessed me as younger or older than 13
