The AI has already started making its presence felt on the executive team, sending out a 500-word email about “leveraging holistic verticals for client-centric uplift” that no one has fully read but everyone agreed “sounded important.” theshovel.com.au/2025/10/07/a...

Jane Goodall is the kind of person that every flag in the world should be flown at half-mast for. The type of hero that we should inspire young people to look towards.

Gawd. Did my first half marathon in ages and now I want to die.

Last footy game of 2025: Grand Final Day at BISP.

Sydney shining this afternoon.

A container ship on Sydney Harbour. Something you don't often see these days.

Grand final day.

so called 'affordable' housing is a scam. build more public housing 'Melbourne 'affordable' housing tenants face 17 per cent rent increase' www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Back in my happy place. Hopefully we'll see North Sydney pool reopen sometime in our lifetimes.

At a corporate event where every one of the speakers - six so far - has been a middle aged male. I'm wondering how this happens in 2025.

Woke me up too. I left my boots outside as well.

Second day of finals. Pulled up much better after 10km.

And the finals begin..

"Without either a Productivity Commission or its neoliberal agenda, the Nordic countries have managed to drive much stronger productivity growth than Australia. Those countries have also delivered stronger wage growth and better quality of life, and managed to tax their fossil fuel industries"

I wish Australian politicians could come up with campaigns like this..

300th muddy game

A quick glimpse of the future

Nicolette Boele and Gisele Kapterian’s legal teams will each begin re-scrutinising 792 votes cast in the 2025 federal election later this month as part of a court challenge to determine whether the AEC correctly determined #Bradfield’s winner. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol #auslaw

Same applies in Australia

Noting the periodic revelation of yet another newly constructed building with major fail and the countless generally poor constructions in Sydney, let’s indeed press on for less regulation and oversight.

It's telling about the contempt the Federal government has for the Australian tech sector when the opening keynote of a tech journalist conference is a Greens Senator.

Back on the freelance bus - off to the Tech Leaders conference.

Electronic Frontiers Australia has taken a big swing at Australia's teen social media ban tech trial, with EFA chair John Pane saying there are "serious concerns about the project's methodology". The trial has finished its report and given it to government, but is not yet public

First excursion into the hood after moving into the Inner West and trying to get my head around 'vegan kimchi'. I genuinely didn't know there was any other type. Ping @ournewhomecoach.bsky.social

AI (artificial intelligence) requires huge data inputs, including the original intellectual property created at great expense by all content makers. US AI tech giants must compensate Copyright holders. Our Productivity Commission’s proposed AI exemption will destroy local creativity. 👇

Yes, it’s worth coming back to this every now and then. Nothing has changed.

Did we accidentally elect a Liberal government? #AusPol

The Australian govt should immediately announce $500m funding for mRNA vaccine development. Get those scientists here. Just an amazing opportunity handed to us by the brain worm infested loon.

Different view at the SCG this week.

Last walk by the Harbour.

$800m here, $800m there … pretty soon you’re talking about real money! www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

apart from the constant stream of cancelled buses and increasing public transport unreliablity , this alone is reason for moving off Sydney's Borth Shore.

Devin, a new software developer at Goldman Sachs, is a tireless and dedicated worker. They're so dedicated, in fact, that they will work 24x7, and not even be paid the six-figure salaries commanded by their teammates. That’s because Devin is not a human at all. Read more:

The Department of Social Security is worried Australians will think feeding and housing people via Centrelink payments is a luxury compared to Defence spending on submarines and bombs. Out-of-touch Canberra Bubble thinking strikes again www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sigh. The NRF really are the new NBNCo - tens of millions spent with little, if anything, to show for it. A totally pointless organisation. www.capitalbrief.com/article/audi...

Midway on this afternoon's run. Under the Suspension Bridge.

Last run around Middle Head strava.app.link/Nk1cwfeHXU

It’s remarkable how many schemes will ‘fix’ Australia’s housing crisis. All of which seemed to be aimed at allowing private developers to build massive mega high rise blocks. Of course the government actually building public housing never enters the conversation.

Good heavens. As if Tony Blair's name wasn't besmirched enough.

So Keolis Downer are running ghost #sydneybuses services. A cute way of meeting contractual service obligations and another reminder of the liberal party ineptitude.

Last weeks by the bay.

How good is Gladys Minns and his government in fixing the Sydney Busrs mess made by by his predecessors? It gets harder to tell tweedledum from Tweedledummer every day.

Governments should never have outsourced their key alert mechanisms to Facebook and Twitter. Sure, you didn't have to build it, but now you're at the whims of techbros. (They also shouldn't send alerts all the damn time, which seems to be the practice in Texas. Alarm fatigue is real, too.)

Palantir at Coles? Absolutely fucking not. Don’t got there my fellow Aussies, for that way the dark place lies

And school closing reveals the oligarchs for the narcissistic heartless performative POSs they are. Not a thought for children and families who relied on their promises. At least let those already enrolled graduate. It’s less than a rounding error in the Chan Zuck “checkbook”

Because the whole world is shit, here's The Seekers (Gina Riley, John Clarke, Bryan Dawe and Nicholas Bell) rehearsing "The Carnival Is Over" for the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics in "The Games."
