Nighto guys. And, thanks. Must sleep. Stay great. 💫

Well, there it is, the cutest thing you'll watch today. Serenading a baby 🐘 to sleep.

Before anyone jumps on the SMH's Australia's government debt scare, there are 103 countries with higher debt-to-GDP ratios than us.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

“These deaths are incomprehensible, given there is environmental water sitting in the dam. This could save the turtles, but WaterNSW is just not allowing its release," - Prof Deb Bower www.theguardian.com/environment/... Story by @lisacox.bsky.social

At least if the Strait of Hormuz was a cafe you could Google to see if it was open or not

Australia forked out a ton when Herzog - an international pariah's head of state - toured in Feb. Did Barnaby kick up a stink then, Vik? We also fork out whenever other royals drop by. I look forward to the MP for New England raising this as a Matter of Public Importance ... (press play ▶️) #auspol

Persimmons in the local fruit shop.

Baking set to opera. Found this weirdly satisfying.

Science is good. We should fund it.

Pic from this week a few years ago. Probably a bit cold for it today, tho I’d still be there if I could. 🤷‍♀️ 😎 👒

So sad that this is an AI fake. Fucking AI, what a waste of everyone's time. Evolution is a goddamn marvel on its own, and octopuses incredible without this bullshit.

Earlier today I was reminded of one of the most metaphysical government documents that exists.

“Under international law, all medics are protected and are considered non-combatants, regardless of political affiliation.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

“it might be something like understanding of living lightly in the world. Understanding that everything you have can be lost and that everything you have is a gift that you'll have to return in the end” podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

BREAKING The Speaker of Iran’s parliament says that President Trump has repeatedly lied today and that the Islamic Republic of Iran is closing the Strait of Hormuz as long as the US military’s blockade remains in place.

Because Australia gives so much of our gas away for free, Japan gets it so cheap that it makes a profit selling it on to other countries! Add your name to the call to impose royalties on all gas exported from Australia ✍️ https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/collect_gas_royalties

The application has remained stable since approximately 9 PM PDT, April 16 despite ongoing Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. We have not seen any evidence of unauthorized access to private user data. We will provide a further update by end of day.

Curious tuna crabs in the Pacific show their inquisitive side as they investigate a diver. Nature’s wonders never cease to amaze us.

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

For something totally different, this resource I built the website for has just been published! It's all based on a database of songs, and has been a lovely chance to properly get my head around Jekyll and DataTables so the whole site builds itself from a few csv files.

The AI rollout is an incredible test case for the power of capital to overrule everything in its way. An overwhelmingly stupid, obscenely polluting, and wildly dangerous set of technologies are being brute-forced into every part of our lives because money says so.

Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.

Trump challenged by the hand of God.

goodnight all And thank you. And may we remember our shared humanity & contribute in whatever ways we can to living together peacefully. 👒

In NSW, 10-year-olds are sent to prison. That is too young. Carlie from the Cottage is one of the leaders featured in this series of videos - saying that raising the age of criminal responsibility in NSW is an opportunity to do better for kids and communities.

Yesterday’s strange sky. It was like this for hours. All afternoon. Each time I looked up, all this puffy weirdness. Still a bit today but very little. Intriguing.

Cosmos flowers in the early evening light yesterday. With glimpse of orange sunset in next door window. ;)

I did identify with this. It’s one of the disconcerting parts of grief I think.

20/20 division

Politicians, media hacks & anyone claiming AFP "overstepped" got a reality check today. Court heard evidence BRS had “advanced plans” to scuttle overseas & made a “deliberate decision” to hide this from authorities. Time to stop making excuses for the elite. #auspol

Absolutely unconscionable www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

In Maine, ICE brazenly called their operation “catch of the day.” The banal inhumanity of it all is overwhelming. The deaths, the injuries, the conditions in detention, the brazen disregard for people’s rights, including American citizens. And it’s still happening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

"It would probably be years before the case came to court, Grogin said". This is very much likely

So nice to have BlueSky sorted out & back to behaving with its usual smooth grace &charm. Thx devs for fixing after that unseemly attack!
