Did you know I'm on a podcast? And that we've done 17 episodes? You didn't? Well you should follow the Mondayish account and get alerts when episodes go live!

For my 21st birthday Dad got me a socket set. I looked at him & thought "You really don't know me if you think I wanted this". Over 20 years later and I'm still using that same socket set. I don't use it very often but it has definitely come in handy. Thanks Dad for the gift I didn't want.

We live soon fam!

Did you know there's a podcast where @str8jaktjim.com let's me rant about videogames? I think it's pretty great. Our latest episode is about how great Capcom has been at the moment (yes I'm obsessed with Pragmata) youtu.be/mEhFDkpvEww?...

Did you know @str8jaktjim.com and I have started a cheeky little podcast. It's a weekly half hour where I get to rant about video games. Episode 5 just came out but you can check out episode 1 right here youtu.be/u6fvx7OZUjg?... Drop us a follow while we figure this whole thing out

Who says Australians don't have any culture?

I have really been enjoying getting back into streaming. Have loved seeing some old friends pop in to say hello. Hope to see more of you at twitch.tv/str8jaktjim Mondays and Tuesdays from 6pm AWST

Finished watching season 2 of WWE Unreal. I love seeing what the wrestlers go through and their personal stories, but god damn if all the old white men in charge don't come across as slimy as fuck.

I am saddened by the amount of people I thought were caring & thoughtful supporting Pauline Hanson. That she is still a political entity in 2025 not only fills me with disappointment, but the fact that people I considered friends think she is the future of Aus politics has me deeply concerned.

If you missed out on @pixelexpo.bsky.social quiz night tickets, don't worry! Any exciting announcements that might be made may possibly also kinda be posted on thei new Bluesky account as well!

Why the hell does a fridge even need internet? There should be no place in this world where a company can sell advertising space on a fridge you've already bought.

This email subject feels like someone typed "Make me a subject that communcates that we have a 20% off deal clearly" into ChatGPT and they just went with the first thing it came back with.

I hope everyone is impressed with my willpower and not buying anything in the sales.

When shopping for Christmas presents it's only natural to buy yourself some.

For some reason the 1993 theft of a tank from a Perth army barracks came to mind today. It may have something to do with the response of a general when asked why it was so easy to steal a tank. youtu.be/FXgyDvg0u0A?...

Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

Everytime I hear this song it just lifts me up. Frente doing sugary 90s pop music proper. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF1E...

Just seen a new hot take against working from home. Working from home is killing the office romance 🙄

Been uploading a lot of my older writing to my personal website (one of the outlets I used to write for doesn't exist anymore and I want my work still out there) and came across this article I wrote about the Super Mario Bros rap. It's not the one you're thinking about. www.str8jaktjim.com?p=524

Whoever came up with the "ding, thing's washed" sound effect in Powerwash Simulator 2 knew exactly what they were doing.

Finally started playing Hollow Knight (the OG). I am 10 hours in and I've just found the main quest line.

Today's win: dropped into the shops on the way home and found not one, not two, but THREE packets of Timtams on clearence for $1 each. Only 2 weeks the wrong side of their best before as well.

I can tell I'm starting to get a bit more traction in the content creator space because I've had a few emote artists follow me on Instagram.

Everytime I see a headline like this I not-so-quietly whisper "They don't want to work for you"

Do not like, and it sounds like a lot of fans don't like this either. Watching the latest episode of Raw and hearing chats of "We want Truth"

Look @jeppiechan.bsky.social they have a syndrome especailly for you!

So I had an interesting thought today. This year was the first time since John Howard that Australia has elected the same Prime Minister twice. Howard was elected to his fourth term in October 2009. Since then we've had single election winning PMs until Albanese just recently.

I'm not a huge fan of the 1 year time jumps every 3 episodes of Andor, but getting 3 episodes every week is pretty mint. Although that does mean this this week is the last set of 3 episodes 😢

My favourite thing when watching people play Super Mario Maker 2 troll levels is "There is no way I need to do the thing" only to walk passed the thing and realise "I need to do the thing"

Couple of thoughts about Mario Kart World Direct (other than it looks amazing) -Two words. Yoshi. Burgers. -I can play as a cow but not Charging Chuck. Let me play as Chuck you cowards! -Imma drive that Penguin off the highest peak I can find - I'm getting Toad's Turnpike PTSD with all this traffic

If any party in Australia ran on a ticket of Universal Basic Income they would get my vote in a heartbeat.

I'm coaching for the first time (junior field hockey) and I'm nervous as hell about it, especially when a parent emailed me for feedback on why their child was selected for the 2nd team. To say this response has boosted my confidence is an understatement.

Hey @nintendousa.bsky.social this is a dick move. If I'm buying a physical game cart, the game better damn well be on the cart.

This post has aged like milk

There was so much good stuff in that Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2! But all I could think was that I need to start a GoFundMe to buy this man a jacket that fits. Did he just forget he had to film this and borrow one of his staff's jackets that was 3 sizes too big for him?

Just me being annoying in a Discord server

Every time I hear Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan, all I can think about is the Aus kid's TV The Saddle Club from when I was a kid.
