Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Imagine trying to lead a political party where these are seen as the only two options. Ruin your country's international reputation and relationships or ruin your country's economy. I almost feel bad for the Liberal Party! #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

The #MAFSAustralia “experts” seem mad Mel doesn’t like her bogan farmer. You can’t make her love him! #MAFS

The Liberals don’t need more women in Parliament they need policies that support women, like unequivocally supporting women’s right to choose and equal pay for equal work, among others. Focusing on a quota is turning a blind eye to the real problem #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Tony Abbott *IS* the warning. #auspol

Finally ran my ancient collection of Magic: The Gathering cards through the scanner in Mana Box with the help of a 3d printed “Card Slider”. Pre-sorting and then scanning took hours. But it’s done! Not sure the value is accurate, a lot are under $1 and probably unsellable. But now I know. 😊

Feeling incredibly old. 🫠

#MAFSAustralia half-watching update: Mel is a manipulative liar, no wonder she’s single. Brook’s a messy troublemaker now she knows her husband is a bit shit. Probably missed something important. 😴

Does #MAFSAustralia do eliminations or are we stuck with Bec and Danny until the bitter end? 😩

Probably doesn’t matter, but my old self-hosted email address will no longer work as of today. DM me if you need my email for some reason. 👍

#MAFSAustralia spoiler-free update: Stella’s friends are horrible. Why did muscly man take his shirt off when he had an active staph infection on his shoulder? 🤢 That is all, carry on.

Throttle-only e-bikes are legal in NSW, in spite of what articles like this and an occasional police officer might claim. The rules could use clarification and simplification, but understand the current ones first. 99% of complaints are about already illegal bikes. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Alby Mangels is still alive. :-o www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Finally read Crash Test Girl, Kari Byron’s autobiography, only a little late. Decent read, lots of interesting stories from her life and career, alongside her struggles with depression. One section particularly stood out to me, as it’s one of the reasons I don’t drink. 🙂

#MAFSAustralia update: Bec was too keen for the D, tattoos should have been a warning, terrible tatts = terrible person. 😊 The “older” couple (lol 50s) are very cute together, they’re practically fossils though, ew. 🙃 If they keep teasing the bi lady not knowing who she’ll get and then it’s a man… 🤦‍♂️

No questions for the women who enabled and provided victims for Jeffrey Epstein? If they get away with it too then what’s the point of any of it? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

I have watched the first episode of #MAFSAustralia and I hate almost everyone I have seen so far. Rachel and Steven are okay. Alissa is a beautiful nightmare David thoroughly deserves. 🙃 Is it normal to hate most of them @mopgarden.bsky.social and @raejmorgan.bsky.social and whoever else watches? 😊

😭 #Fallout Season 3 tomorrow, right? 😭

I love all genders🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Because I have no gender. Especially right now, transgender people are living with a lot of anxiety. Why are transgender people not allowed to freely love the people they want to love? Why can't transgender individuals live their lives with the soul they prefer?

Maybe Bianca Colecchia should fuck off back to Italy if she's worried about migrants in Australia. 🙃 #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Even if morbid curiosity gets the better of you, the Melania “documentary” is directed by Brett Ratner. 🤮

Coyotes is an okay “evil animals out to bite everyone” movie. But it’s the first I’ve seen using very obvious AI shots for some of the coyote scenes. Not terrible, no five leggers or anything, but you can tell. Wonder how much they saved by making a worse movie? www.imdb.com/title/tt3458...

Nationals spilling too. But the guy calling it hasn't been to the meetings and it seems like nobody's backing him. Where's the fun in that? #auspol #natspill www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

I downloaded the UpScrolled app so I can UpScroll things but I don't really understand what it's for. It seems like another Twitter/BlueSky/Mastodon/Threads? I don't need another one of those? I am Mythor on there. It's owned by a Palestinian-Australian though, so that's interesting I guess? 🤷

Happy Australia Day everybody. Please be careful if you’re attending any events today as there have been a number of threats made. If things start to look sketchy, go home. 😕

It’s #libspill season again and both options are terrible, as is tradition. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

#Fable! Finally! It looks so gooooooood. Combat looks very cool and you can still buy all the houses and shops! My only quibble is the lack of good/evil and thus horns/halos, but the new morality system seems like it'll be more nuanced. And it's freaking *gorgeous*. AHHHH!!! youtu.be/hXn6bvU1Kh4?...

Fable looks so good. 😭

I know why they aren't showing Fable first or second at Xbox Developer Direct but a secret third game from Double Fine about brawling pottery is taking the piss. 🫠

Is the Coalition going to split up again? Because that would be very funny. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

I RECOGNISE THAT VOICE!!!!! 🤯 #Fallout

All this week I've been looking forward to Saturday morning for the Fable reveal at 5am because I could get up, be a massive nerd, then go back to bed. It's on Friday morning. Oh no.

Got asked if I was AI while Twitch modding tonight. Not entirely sure why, I was just answering some questions in chat. Wish I was a robot though. 🤖

Haven't browsed a newsagent in a very long time. Porn mags being down to 2 options makes sense, but why is there an "UNCENSORED MEMES" magazine??? Who doesn't have the internet but still wants to embrace meme culture? There was also a guide to prompting ChatGPT. I despair.

Finally watched the Minecraft movie after realising Adebayo from Peacemaker was in it. And it was pretty fun! Made me kind of want to try Minecraft again. Chicken jockey. 🐓

Other people are exhausting. 🫠

Don't know how many friends this would impact, but don't share links on Discord to Nexusmods pages for Spider-Man or Marvel Rivals or you'll be banned from Discord for 2 years. Fuck Sony. 😠 www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/c...

That foreshadowing though. #Fallout

Not allowed to stop this #Fallout4 run until I finish the main story, or the game breaks. At this stage both outcomes are equally likely. :) #OVER400MODSWOW

Hi AU-based marketing and biz dev friends! I'm still looking for $5k AUD to help make @frostygamesfest.com events happen again this year. We have some sponsorship locked, but need to make up a shortfall 🍦💰 If you'd like to chat pls email or DM me! amy at hellomisspotter dot com

Finally saw one of the jumpy boys in #ArcRaiders but he didn't seem very effective. He did not stick his landing. :) Later some dude sniped me from a rooftop and cost me a bunch of loot. Boo. Silly game. (I will play it again for sure.)

30 degrees before 8am! I've put shadecloth up and brought my bed into the living room for the inevitable nap. And maybe for actual sleep time. BOM says it'll still be 29 at 11pm. 🫠 Hope Victorian friends are staying safe from the fires, they look pretty nasty. :(

BOM says it’s officially 42 outside but my aircon’s outdoor sensor says 47. It’s probably in the sun. I don’t feel great. Hope everyone else is doing okay today. 🫠

FABLE!!!! Their Twitter says it’ll be showing a LOT of stuff. 5am though. 🫠

🏋️Have a new years resolution related to fitness / the gym? January is a super exciting month - me and my trainer are doing something to support you! Learn and follow along with us throughout the month. Watch demos, ask questions, and do a follow-along workout! STARTS FRIDAY💪 #newyearsresolutions

The Arc Raiders fomo got me. A flying rocket jerkbot popped me in my first run, but I got the extraction elevator open and escaped with my loots! 🥳

⚡️PSA - I'm looking for a potential voice actor, for a small role, for an upcoming Fallout 4 Creation. Details for auditioning will be shared via DM if you're interested! Please share! Thank you. #Fallout4 #VerifiedCreator #Creations

It's weird everyone gets super upset over generative AI when used for visual or written art but when it comes to it being used for programming? Crickets.

2025 was a weird old year for me so I’m kinda glad to see the back of it. Hope the year ahead is a good one for everyone. Happy New Year! 🥳
