Was the posh, unattractive woman who was rude to me judging me for being too povo (insane position under any normal circumstances) or jealous that I'm much more attractive than her (I am), or just a generally unpleasant person who was rude because she's just rude?

Imagining some sort of Willy Wonka-style tour through an incredible sardine factory.

Let me use a website if I am going to do something once every TWO YEARS. Apps are for things I actually need to frequently check on my phone, not one off... applications.

Need to apply for a UK ETA and the first three results on google if you search for this are sponsored links to NOT the official government website. 🫠

Please don't call it that

The only good thing young and indeed not actually that young any more Conservatives do is be younger than me and look like absolute trash so I feel better about my appearance. My understanding is this still works when you're 80.

In hell, everyone executed at the Tokyo trials has to read 21st century tankie tweets about how Japan wasn't an imperial power because they're people of colour.

CHOTINER: And you thought it would be funny to do a fake interview by me? ME: A lot of people have, so CHOTINER: You were looking for engagement? ME: Well, to make someone laugh I guess CHOTINER: How many likes and reposts did it get? ME: That's, uh, not really the metric...look can we start over

Found out that our cyber security analyst is scared of ghosts so I guess that possibly explains some of our cyber security policies.

Healthy Harold: Hey kids, watch out for...

After months of saying there would eventually be renovations, the renovations were finally announced on Tuesday, including that we have to clear everything out of the office by today and can't find come back for at least 3 weeks.

Sorry but this is iconic

I don't agree with everything about Singapore but they were right to ban chewing gum.

I got to use the paper shredder. So much more fun than just deleting things and so much more comprehensible than the printer.

Twenty years ago I was vox popped on the concept of Autumn. Today I was vox popped on the concept of Spring. Come back in 2045 to see if I get asked my opinions on Summer or Winter.

Person reading out multi-person coffee order: "... And a warm long black? Sorry I don't know what that is."

Donald Trump is both a credulous moron and an absolute grifter and everyone involved with him is also at least one of those, though some are also just plain evil. This explains most if not all of what is currently happening in the US.

Guy at work was convinced his phone camera was spying on him squinting and that was why he was getting ads for Spec Savers. I said it was that it knew he was aged 40-45 and thus probably needed reading glasses. He didn't like that. Conspiracy theories for the most banal and easily explained things.

am sure this absolutely sucked to deal with but this also looks like the cover for a killer circa-2009 indie rock EP

They should make an international franchise out of Murder She Wrote called Murder She Translated, where Jessica Fletcher's various translators in different countries also happen to solve crimes in their spare time

after extensive wind tunnel testing and analysis, I've concluded that airplane mode is a complete scam. it doesn't change the phone's aerodynamics in the slightest.

beautifully done

how rude

Decorating the flat

Making a playlist.

A team at work which is entirely millennials has been renamed to GIR.

I was not ready to be hit with this triple whammy of "that's still a thing?"

I am increasingly convinced that AI art is not just for people who can't draw but for people who cannot actually imagine things. If I wanted to see this I could just imagine it. I am imagining it right now because the prompt also works on me.

Compliance want me to make some graphs in Excel for them because apparently that is too difficult for them to do themselves.

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

And another thing: don’t put it in the newspaper that my mother emailed my colleagues

Obviously A, I don't know how I'd cope without fermented Greenland Shark.

Congratulations to the Netflix Talented Mr Ripley adaptation for being executive produced by a Super Famicom Fighting Baseball team

I hate the physical location of the Roslyn Packer Theatre but this is great! www.sydneytheatre.com.au/whats-on/pro...

The Right™ just lies so much about everything.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Cleaning out my (cool leather) bag to switch to a new (less pretty and cool but lighter weight nylon) bag and discovering that I had a lot more pens in the old bag than I thought.

Saying RELECT like Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Remember that time bees kept flying into my window? Okay maybe you don't, it was five years ago. I thought it was happening again but it's a different stupid insect this time!

Sad to hear about Keir Starmer. Nothing happened to him, I’m just always sad to hear about him.

I met Thom Roberts at Sydney Contemporary today and he drew me a picture and this is probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. 🤩 www.studioa.org.au/pages/thom-r...

According to Simpsons Wiki, Gaddafi is still alive in the Simpsons universe

“He seeks to Excel in his field” was right there, Guardian!

this is the button prompt you see when you're trying to sleep but the anxiety-induced insomnia is hitting

If you can't come up with $25k for emergency repairs (savings, mortgage re-draw, credit, insurance whatever) you have no business being anyone's landlord. Maybe we need bonds for landlords that can be released for repairs?

GOB's not on board with the bees idea.

saw phillip ruddock on the street the other day, and it reminded me of the fantasy cabinet @nickevershed.bsky.social and i made almost 10 years ago for the guardian, where this was his selection: x.com/philipruddoc...
