the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Omg. Just turned on the AFL Grand Final.

I’ve had more faulty review products this year than any other year I can remember. Is anyone else having a similar experience?

I reviewed NBA 2K26 for Blunt Magazine and I have really mixed feelings about the integration of the WNBA into MyTeam.

Jam. You need this.

i should actually say i think the constant barrage of spam of modern life is underrated as a psychological factor affecting all of us! there's a big burden having to constantly question if everything is fake or not, and i even suspect it primes people for a pretty ungenerous view of the world

Omg lol. Look what Xbox just sent me. So maybe they do know I’m interested in this “Forza Horizon”.

Ok, but when in 2026?

I want to go to there

Wait, the rapture is happening this week? How did I miss this?

I love the iPhone 17 Pro Max

My iPhone Air review is up on News!

I’m coming up on Insight on SBS in 20mins to talk about why the IVF industry needs urgent reform.

I find it so funny that mushroom sales in Australia dropped 30% in the wake of the mushroom trial. Every time I heard about the trial I started craving risotto. My mushroom intake has gone way up.

Having the snack drawer close to my desk was a mistake

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal. Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

The last couple of times I’ve given blood, they’ve complained about my veins. So this week I have been training for my donation today. No one has ever been this hydrated. I’m going to get an A in donating blood, which is normal to want and possible to achieve.

I cannot begin to describe how much I hate reviewing robot vacuum cleaners. This is the second one this year that has damaged my floor. I am displeased.

My kingdom for a bag of smiths original chips

I wrote about tech innovators for The Nightly On Magazine:

Ok, I’ve now spent roughly a day and a half with the new iPhones, watches and AirPods and I feel comfortable saying they are Good. iOS26 is still messy and doesn’t feel ready. But the hardware is solid and the AirPods Pro 3 are making me excited to listen to new music, which is always a good sign.

I hope everyone enjoyed the last day of Fool’s Spring.

Sweet Tarts: The snack you eat when you can't decide whether you want chalk or soap.

I am not built to get up at 5am. I am bad at 5am.

Schedule live! At PAX Aus I have the privilege and pleasure to facilitate the Kirrip Wilam room, a space for Indigenous people to showcase, connect, recharge and share their pop culture fandom. Check out the schedule for the room in the link below (filter: Kirrip Wilam) and come and say hello ☺️

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

I enjoyed the Arkham Horror version of Love Letter more than I expected:

Got my hair and makeup done for TV today and now I feel pretty and also like I can never go to bed before I have no idea how to remove makeup.

When I am ruler of the universe, you’ll be able to yeet people out of the airlock if they vape on a plane. This is happening more and more often and I am not enjoying this trend.

I reviewed Henry Halfhead:

posting this Classic over here in honor of the big man himself. adios bitch

Sad to see games media continue down the path of deprofessionalisation.

It is surprisingly difficult to find out who to talk to when you see the window of a high rise building flapping in the wind.

The Dyson Hot+Cool HP2 De-NOx is great for people with a big budget who would like to be a different temperature, with cleaner air.

There’s a story about that time I was born in the Australian Women’s Weekly this month, if you’re interested in that kind of thing.

The Melbourne real estate market is so cooked.

I get that the media ignores him cause all he wants is attention, but a sitting senator actively coordinating doxxing efforts on random people feels like it should be a place to draw the line

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Wonderful to see so many anti-racism protesters in Melbourne today and still more coming around the corner

Oh no. Beauty brands have discovered menopause as a concept.

This is not in the top 10,000 of problems I may experience any time soon.

Why wasn’t Lash in the Triple J Hottest 100 of Australian Songs?

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! And happy Mummy’s Day to all the queer and single mums out there!

When they say "AI will replace doctors" they mean "Instead of a doctor, you will have a chatbot and like it and if you die it's your tough break". The rich will continue to have regular doctors

Silksong is out today - and I am so excited to share my deep-dive into the game's development. I spoke with Team Cherry about Silksong's design, its origins, and the creative principles that drive their work. I'm thrilled to share it:
