One fine day at the wet market in Hong Kong, talking geopolitics and war inflation: Harry Harrison’s cartoon

Unfriendly reminder: being unemployed is a full time job.

Shout out to house painters. There are like 7 dudes working at my place at the moment and I'd be nuked for days after 10 minutes of what they do for a solid 8 hours. And that's before we even consider the constant sensory ick of paint, filler etc constantly on your hands & clothes.

Today is a great day to pull aside that person in your office who puts their massive insulated lunch bag in the fridge and explain that the insulation will stop the fridge keeping it cold.

Every so often, we are blessed with a Brand New Thought. Never conceived before. This is the sort of thing that would have had Plato and Aristotle's fanboys losing their shit.

Not to make light of the absolute clownshoesery that is the NDIS approach to autism, but... The only thing that stopped my autism creep was getting up in his face in public and shouting at him to leave me alone.

Oh Jesus, I know it’s a service we need but for people escaping violence and bad situations this could be an awful unintended consequence 😢

Sometimes @theonion.com is too real

I don't think there's anyone in my circles I wouldn't work with because of the quality of their art or their artistic process or whatever... but there's a *long* list of people permabanned from anything I do because they're cog dunts.

Guess who's freshly transfused of iron and checking the fridge magnets to see if any will stick?

Okay, this is the very rare Substack post that's worth loading the Nazi newsletter site for. I am *incredibly* surprised I kept about 90% comprehension until I hit the 1100s.

(first day as an AI salesman) Can I interest you in an exciting slopportunity

I love spending 20 years crafting careful phrases in silence, sitting in my cluttered ass office, only for that skill to become basically worthless

We transitioned from a world in which the most charismatic talker won to a world in which empirical evidence & reasoning won (well, kinda). It was called the Enlightenment. We seem involved in a rapid, full-scale effort to reverse it. (Yes I realize I've never sounded so old. 👴)

Love in the Time of Shitposting

In small towns, institutions carry far more weight than in cities. You meet these insane stuck up weirdos who have cemented themselves into organisations and keep any change from happening

Trigger warning I strongly suggest everyone reads this, not just Australians. As horrific as this is, it will not be an isolated case by any means. As for the people of Balmoral that sided with the rapists, take a good, hard look at yourselves. The town that turned its back on a rape victim

For anyone else who doesn't listen to the ABC as much as they think they do, apparently ABC News 24 was rebranded like 10 years ago. 🙃

I can't give you all the deets yet but it appears I have - with very, very little prompting - agreed to grow a mullet for a gig.

This is a CAT checkpoint. QP with the most recent cat image on your phone if that's your bag.

Is there a Protocol for arresting royalty? Did the fuzz have to roll up on horseback with swords and feathered hats? Was the warrant read aloud in the village square? Has anyone told the bees????

If I get to pick the family member this may in fact be a selling point.

A big kung hei fat choi from Hong Kong: #cartoon from Harry Harrison rides in to the Year of the Horse

The good news is it worked. The bad news is now I have to work out why near-new sheets that have been fine until now are suddenly a massive sensory ick. Having a body continues to be a bad idea 1/10 do not recommend.

After several nights of hot showers, cold showers, rain sounds, guided meditations, fan adjustments, Horlicks, hot milk, panadol & neurofen I have traced the source of my run of terrible sleep to... Weird Sheet Vibes. A full linen change at 1am and now maybe I'll get some bloody shut-eye.

Mountain Dew was invented as a means of phasing between cursed dimensions.

Change your gender, become a poet, catapult yourself into the sun. There are no rules. You can do anything you want.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Naveed Azkhat, 32, became overwhelmed at the busy, brightly lit gallery and decided to rest on a chair in one of the exhibition rooms as his shutdown took hold. His hunched, rigid posture led visitors to mistake him for the famous sculpture, and he soon attracted a crowd.

I fixed the vacuum cleaner and now it sucks.

People who walk down the street having a conversation on speakerphone: why?

A Valentine’s Day poem. Chosen I have been chosen As a foil An escape A barrier And a bridge. I have been chosen As an anchor A mask A safe space And a home base. I have never been chosen For love. ❤️

🎵 Clink go the cents folks clink, clink, clink. Change over day is closer than you think. Learn the value of the coins and the way that they appear and things will be much smoother when the decimals are here.

Happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate 🖤

Strength is not always movement. Sometimes it is stillness. Sometimes it is patience. Sometimes it is the quiet refusal to be carried away by the storm. -Lucian Coldwater (pictured in meditation) Photocred: cheokolateblog on IG

Help I started thinking of Advance Australia Fair to the tune of Auld Lang Syne and now I can't remember the real tune.

This is why you need to be reading books and writing your own emails, by the way. When you outsource your thinking abilities, you risk turning your brain into soup. Heavy dependence on AI has already been linked with severe cognitive decline. What you don’t use, you will lose.

The rest of the bskyverse out here with sophisticated cat names like Amani and Adonis and mine are Cricket, Moth and Scooter because I can't even stick to a theme.

Dr, in December: your iron is very low. Me: *hits the red meat, spinach and iron pills. Feel like I'd stick to a magnet* Dr, in February: your iron is now critically low. Good, good. All fine and normal here in the land of I Want A Refund On This Body.

SAMWISE: po-tay-toes?? ARAGORN: *clicks "Jump to Recipe"* SAMWISE: —boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew
