It looks like you're trying to utilise a buggy Microsoft application for a mission critical action while piloting a rocketship to the moon - would you like some help?

Dramatic swell at Freshwater Beach (closed) yesterday. Later I watched 3 dickheads swimming down the far end. They eventually got out after multiple hails from beach patrol. Imagine if a lifeguard drowned trying to save them.

If I no longer use “nut this one out” to refer to team brainstorming on account of gen Z’s synonym for bean flicking, would it be evil to declare “I’m blowing this Popsicle stand” to my IT team to indicate I am leaving work for the day? Our team is intergenerational.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride. Mainstream media: nothing Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes. Mainstream media: nothing. This is what extreme media bias looks like.

The truth of the Nac Mac Feegles. Gateway to pict history, tattoos and trolling my daughter with the worst Scots brogue known to ears. (We’ve Macleans back up the family tree.)

I am really enjoying @marthawells.com’s Emilie Adventures, written when my daughter was born. It is exactly the kind of interesting, uncomfortable, swashbuckling adventure I’ve been hoping for on her bookshelves! On another level, I’m savouring all the moments I think she will enjoy. ☺️

Apple why don’t you just replace the camera icon with the blinking red light of a surveillance camera and be done with it?

Utterly charmed by this song lyric: “He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored”

My daughter rolls her eyes at yet another series about a "magical school," "prophetic dynasty with dragons," "group of kids who have to save the world." Whether as books or movies, the serialised dripfeeding of apocalypse is relentless.

How tragic that his perspective was so easily ignored. Look for the Hansard transcript in the thread.

It's Mardi Gras night, so time to once again share this fab image from Alex Cherney of CSIRO #ASKAP telescope core located at the Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara observatory, illuminated in pride colours. Light, even radio light, is a spectrum. Light is gay. Universe makes the rules, not me. 📡🔭

Jumping on this. 5am is a period of discomfort, so lets see how my curiosity casts sleep to the wall or sensibly scaffolds an early night.

Aw yiss! A new episode of change, technically. Cannot wait to get onto the train to start listening!

Of course Dante, who sold me a beautiful cello, could pronounce Gaylourdes unprompted, after I spelled out my email as part of the transaction.

Saturday morning reading redux: Dunedin - Shena Mackay, Lilian’s Story - Kate Grenville, The Well - Elizabeth Jolley, Small Things Like These - Claire Keegan, Europe in Sepia - Dubravka Ugresic. All quite phenomenal.
