Getting lots of dog pats and scrabble games in. Exactly what I needed.

I find it incredibly difficult to write about my Jewishness. I didn't want to write this, but I did. We need to re-embrace complexity and nuance in thinking about and discussing the Jewish future.

Eating indomie mie goreng at Abang Abang. Pretty damn good.

These clouds are rad.

Have logged out of the other app for a week, wooooo. Let’s see how I go! Enjoy the occasional brainfart here, I suppose, I’ll mostly be on insta.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Microsoft’s Copilot and other models are befuddling students, researchers and archivists by generating “incorrect or fabricated archival references,” according to ICRC, which runs some of the world’s most used research archives. #AI #libraries

A lot is happening at the moment, next week will be wild. I choose to be distracted and do things like link my Apple and Spotify accounts to my Soundcloud account. In other news, I’ll be in general admission to see Kenny Lamar on Wednesday. What was I thinking?

Ugh the responses. People really have no scope to think beyond their own experience, hey? Anyway, I like their chook and their toum rules. But I think I’ll try elsewhere.

Poorline and Barnabus on the telly eating a Family Court Dad Meal Deal cooked in an office kitchenette is somehow the Platonic form of our media-political culture: vile idiots doing dumb things given publicity about nothing.

Intense week incoming. Trying to be very chill today. Did 14 laps earlier.

If only we had some form of envoy or such tasked with, say, combatting antisemitism, maybe they could let us know their thoughts on this

“I’m not NSN, but …” yikes.

I believe men can be allies. But if that “allyship” is mansplaining feminism or reproductive matters to someone who has experienced TFMR or any other kind of perinatal loss, you’ve effectively ripped up your progressive card and proven you are not what you claim to be.

I bought Pulp tickets for both Sydney nights! And now to plan Radelaide.

Ten horror movies to get to know me (21st Century Edition) - Midsommar - Kill List - 28 Days Later - The Descent - Under The Skin - Suspiria - Mandy - Hereditary - The Lighthouse - What We Do In The Shadows

Celebrity bots are out of control in the other place, lmao.

Lovely message in our inbox this morning 😊 One of the foundational NIMBY beliefs is that renters aren't worthy of having a say about their communities.

Jimmy Carr and Louis C.K. at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, a dark vortex of the worst vibes the world has to offer

Happy 'Have you read all of Dickens and Austen and Gaskell?' Day to those who celebrate

Just received my k-beauty products. The slow break up with my Mecca beauty loop account is finally happening.

Devastating.

Buying Dr Jart products for half the price that Mecca charges is a win. Giving up bougie skin care for K-beauty.

That's about $3.4 million per (proven) war crime

Scoffed this indomie sambal pie during a lunch time meeting. Partial eating of feelings, partial I’m wfh and have nothing good in the house.

I guess Stepford socialism is a thing.

every single problem universities have is because they stray from the fucking mission, either getting conned by consultants saying they can save them money (then charging them millions for it), or getting distracted by someone shaking keys in front of them like a fucking infant

Fall On Me

The National Socialist Network are not only attending tomorrow’s March for Australia Rally, they’re also speaking at it

It genuinely frightens me that David Joffe is still practicing Respiratory Medicine in Sydney, including as a VMO at RNSH, and NSW Health have done fuck all about it - despite their code of conduct specifically stating social media engagement by employees must not bring them into disrepute

Respect to the man who made this jumper look good (and also starred in some excellent films). Vale Terence Stamp.

Going well

Was going to write something along the lines of “but didn’t they ban PWC?” and discovered this. Terrible decision. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Whoops, there goes the rationale for cuts happening across the sector.

The school parent group chat is giving FB mothers group vibes and I can’t stop laughing at it. Someone please flounce, it’ll make my day. I thought this ended as the kids approach adulthood. I was wrong.

I am now in my post-feedback era. I will be consciously uncoupling from surveys. There will be no further rating of my experience and if you don't already you will never know how you did. The line will not be held and the text with a link will go unread.

Every unionist in the world re. the CEO/HR boss Coldplay moment: Told you so. Join your union.

me watching a two hour video of a youtuber exposing another youtuber to avoid thinking about anything happening anywhere at any time

Thankful for a working block function here.

“Hi everyone, I just need to be clear my priority is revoking access as quickly as possible for this participant,” NDIA chief executive Rebecca Falkingham wrote to senior colleagues on June 7 last year. “All other issues are a second-order priority.”

The time I had to sort out the library accounts of John Waters’ (the Australian actor, not the legendary director) children. He got snippy and said “it’s Waters” when I was looking up his kids in the system. Like I hadn’t watched him on Play School growing up.

Oh youre jacking off to the sabrina carpenter sexy dog pic? Boring. Ill instead be jacking off to the album covers of Schubert , and Strauss
