I need to relax. Me: “Hey Siri, play ‘Music for Airports’." Siri: “Playing Airports" Me: “Siri, no, stop that. Siri, please play ‘Ambient 1: Music for Airports’ by Brian Eno." Siri: “Playing Film Music by Brian Eno" Me (now very much in need of relax): “SIRI! NO! STOP! ARRGH!" I do it manually.

Leave the microplane and block of cheese and no one will get hurt.

Elon Musk selling X at a valuation of $44 billion to xAI might seem like a vindication of the purchase. But, what's really happening is the world's richest man is offloading debt onto another set of investors using made up numbers in an attempt to keep his head above water thesizzle.com.au/p/e...

Non-clearcut land rights for pro-choice black gay recycled whales! Now!

I am not FREE PARKING. I do not need VALIDATION.

My new rap name: Moose Def.

Remember the Beta Band? I just did.

mastodon.social/@fesshole/11... I do this.

Canada is the “most European of the non-European countries”, Mark Carney has said. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m... Yeah? YEAH? Then why the fuck aren’t you in Eurovision then? Like Australia is? Yeah Mark, why? Whhhyyyy Mark??

I’m considering making this a “random Pet Shop Boys lyric snippets” account. (No not really, but they’re in my ears right now).

“Everyone’s dancing to Roxy and Bowie"

I tweeted about this guy last night and got all these replies from random people who said he'd saved their baby's life. Fuck being rich I would love to have been this guy, imagine how cool it would be to know you'd helped so many people. We need to name an airport after him or something

Teams just asked me if I’m “enjoying Calendar”. I don’t know mate, it’s a fucking calendar. Not like it’s got a picture of kittens on it or something.

@baueri.ca Good luck with the move tomorrow!

I once had lunch opposite Marianne Faithfull. She didn’t talk at all. I didn’t recognise her. It was backstage at a music festival, and she had come out to eat with us crew people. Later, someone said “did you know that was Marianne Faithfull?”. No. No I didn’t. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Yesterday, I played Trugo, and got a bit of sun.

Only 39.2c. Melbourne COME ON you can do better than this.

If you hate the art your making but love the fame that comes after, surprise you aren't an artist you're a salesman

Jonathan Pie for PM. Of anywhere, really. I don’t care. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R19...

Now THiS is a good summer storm! #melbourne

If anything tells us why Aussies are in need of critical thinking classes from primary school, it's this. It's marketing 101, people. Vegemite hasn't been made halal for Muslims. It happens to be halal already, and a small line proclaiming that could open up a new market for them ...

Australians getting phone access everywhere via satellite is pretty rad, but is anyone a bit uncomfortable that an increasing amount of Australian infrastructure is relying on Elon Musk? thesizzle.beehiiv.com/p/2247-gizmo...

Anyone else on this thing going to see Rufus Wainwright this evening in Melbourne?

So now there are work people following me here. Must remember: I am a Technology Professional.

@madelinecfrench.bsky.social Hellooo

Benny and the Gesserits

New handle, who dis? Still me. Still me. @jurgen.ca

Package shipped by Aramex. Nothing seems to have happened to it since Monday. Filled out the “wtf” form on the website. Which will happen first: Package actually arrives, or I get a reply? At this point, I give it even odds.

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state. How's everyone else doing?

So I'm going to try posting more here, I think. Is there a native macOS client yet? I’m using the Graysky iPad app on Mac, and it’s fine, but a more proper Mac experience would be nice.

I guess, now that everyone’s here, I should say something. Hello.

Sanity, yet again, has lost out to ambivalence.

Hello new followers, whoever you are. I’m not totally convinced yet that you’re real. Is this just a massive GPT echo chamber? I’m not even sure how real I am, tbh.
