$2.5 trillion well spent.

They know that when they are forced to show us the numbers as part of the bargaining process, we'll know how hard they've been fleecing us and be able to demand, and win, more than we currently have. If they thought they could get away with giving us less, they'd BEG us to unionize.

For two weeks, arena folks have been getting *daily* anti-union emails from the company fearmongering about how scary unions are. Now, they're sending letters to our homes. The union isn't a third party, WE ARE THE UNION. This doesn't scare me. I am voting YES for #uwotc-cwa! #wotcstaff

A new Powerful Owl pair! There had been a couple of sightings at this location 6 years ago, but nothing reported since then. Better still, they were right next to an excellent looking tree hollow, so most likely they are preparing for breeding. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

When we bring a reindeer cow in to the nursery area from the main part of the hill enclosure, where they have calved, the calves will sometimes 'play dead' temporarily whilst we're nearby. Hard to sort those long legs out neatly though, when you're only a day old!

Lizard of the day: Northern caiman lizard! I love these guys sm... A teiid species from South America! They live in swampy habitats. They are mostly aquatic and are excellent climbers. They spend most of their time basking on branches and feed mostly on other aquatic animals.

@davidcsimon.bsky.social Hi David, if you don't mind my asking, is your Kofi still up to date? :)

Refusing to add difficulty options to a game because the difficulty is part of the game design is like banning subtitles/cc from a TV show because the actors deliver their lines well.

It might be the Australian in me, but if I'm ever inclined to give prayers of thanks it's for drought-breaking rains. We've had deep, soaking rain here the last 24 hours after a hot and dry Spring and it's desperately needed relief.

Brown Cuckoo-dove in golden hour light. Are the colours accurate? Not really, but if I matched what my eyes saw they wouldn't look real, so I had to tone them down a little for public consumption. #birds

Oscar's interview 🎙️🖼️

Starting the day off by putting garlic on my vegemite toast: it is delicious, and also renders me the single most unkissable person on earth for a period of several hours

HAROLD. We talked about this

Oh my goodness! Spectacular timing! The Queen of the Night cactus I’ve been watching for years finally bloomed! They’re pretty rare and only bloom for a few hours.

A supermajority of developers behind Magic: The Gathering Arena have announced intentions to unionise, marking the first unionisation effort at Wizards of the Coast. The union plans to address protections for layoffs, remote work, and generative AI usage.

I really hope monoculture lawns stop being trendy in the future. Just quietly wishing for a world where people actually let plants grow in their yards and 8 months of the year aren't filled with the endless drone of lawnmowers.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Oh god, Horse Armor is within the Ask Historians 20 year rule for historical content 💀

Day 4 (2025)

Late night at the art studio

The company says AI music is approaching half of all new uploads, though most of the supposed listeners of those streams are AI themselves.

Older experimental painting for Acroth! A lot of tricks from this permanently entered my style

Birdwatching is cool now. Trust us. In fact, 2026 is already seeing a flutter of games with birdwatching as their hook. What makes the quaint activity so satisfying? We ask devs @secretplangames.bsky.social, @studioortica.bsky.social, and wildlife researcher @jabaddams.bsky.social to find out.

Starship Troopers: Extermination is on sale again at the moment on steam in a big way, so I'm shouting it out as an outstanding co-op shooter. Janky as hell but some of the best coop fun I've had.

Deep cleaned the bathroom, job well done, put everything back in its place. Didn't notice the floor was still damp in the corner, and put the cardboard washing detergent box down on the wet floor. An hour later my partner comes in, sees the box is damp, tries to pick it up to move it. Ah well.

For years, but especially in the last few months, I have been trying hard to imagine what it will feel like seeing Orban decisively defeated. I just couldn't. And yet here we are: it is truly and well over. I have more reservations about Peter Magyar than I could say in 300 characters or a thread...

Can someone recommend me some fun & generally light -hearted science, tech, engineering podcasts? Maybe some about Australian themes or culture. I am cutting back on my usual pol-sci podcast listening again for The Horrors reasons.

Listening to Katawaredoki from the OST to the film Your Name, picturing a moment in time and space when we saw that film. It'll never be the same again, so much ended and changed so quickly. Ah, to be back on that couch again with those dearest friends. I miss you.

Great Egret once nearly hunted to extinction for its plumes, the species has rebounded, occurring worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. It is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics 📷: Lili Banta #birds
