They’re in Anne Frank territory now.

Whoa. Do you think they realize?

dreamed I was at a poorly attended event featuring Albo and Mark Butler. Just me, another journalist and a gaggle of primary school kids in red tops. At least I got to ask my question about MRFF disbursements. Also: need a dream upgrade.

No one liked my sunflowers so now I won’t share photos of my 84 flowers in 3 months…

It’s been ages since we played “was that gunshots or a car backfiring?” in the inner north. Probably just the wind…

Emily and I were briefly in Healesville today so we popped into Healesville Sanctuary and it is very important for you all to know that they currently have BABY TASMANIAN DEVILS

Gonna bring a lawsuit against whoever decreed USB meant Universal Serial Bus. Because there is more than one kind of USB and it’s never the one you need.

Hence, horrible shadow! Unreal mock’ry, hence!

Is there a word for the effect where a person has billions in stock but if they try to cash it in, it automatically loses most of its value because they’re cashing it in? Like “Elon dollars” only catchier?

had to go to Coles for some urgent groceries and the checkout cameras and computers accused me of theft twice in 60 seconds. so icky.

Apart from “spruik” which is my favorite, what other Australian words don’t translate? I had to explain “nobble” to the kid last night.

I will never again get cold sweats about a typo in my copy.

Marty Sheargold is back on the road. Which answers the question of how long one is cancelled for that particular level of cluelessness, I suppose. We need an Excel spreadsheet with the correct levels of punishment for various offences...

They have these security guards in Adelaide and I’ve seen one hassle an Indigenous man for just sitting quietly on the street…https://edition.theage.com.au/shortcode/THE965/edition/57e76df9-1557-b2dd-bbad-62c9f4bd90ff?page=cac9cbf1-f483-ee3b-5c0f-bf71c755332c&

Not even eight on a Sunday morning and I’ve already been attacked by a duck.

If one fully intends to review the daylights out of an operation if it doesn’t lift its game, is it a) only fair or b) blackmail to tell them so? It’s not a threat, it’s my sincere intention and they could easily do the right thing instead. Said review is drafted, balanced, accurate and specific.

been having too much to do with millennials: instead of emailing a government PR with "questions for your boss to answer," I just titled an email "opportunity to comment in article on (x)" (paraphrase, but you get the mealy mouthed idea...)

Qantas on phone after canceling our flight: we’ll only give you $30 each for airport meals while you wait 6 hours for the overnight Jetstar flight we’re putting you on w your kid. Q a week later after we chose to pay for our own room and fly next day instead: here, let us pay all of the hotel. ???

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up
