Took the bikes down to Meadowbank yesterday for a short fang around before the sun set.

"Be an adult. Own your garbage." actually works in so many different contexts

Getting my new laptop to recognise my old midi-controller took up most of last night and left me very frustrated.

This is very good.

I wonder what the DeRucci billboard guy is up to these days.

Remember when you'd take holidays, and the first few days you'd be sick as hell from a weird rhinovirus? What the hell was that about? I don't get that anymore.

A propos of nothing, but the Luddites weren’t anti-technology, they were pro-worker and against the theft of IP by the capital class. If that sounds familiar, it is.

Never use AirBnB ever.

I'm not saying the Australian Treasurer has no idea how the housing rental market works, but I'm not not saying that.

Sam Kerr has been found not guilty. Yet the rancid pile on b4 & during the trial continues RW media have continued to stir the pot of outrage & angertainment against Kerr. Ask yourselves why these same commentators don’t do this to men - & in fact protect them? womensagenda.com.au/latest/eds-b...

the twitter approach to downsizing is going great I see

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🐆🥣😳 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Heading to Glebe to see an exhibition today, then probably a wander about, a brewery or two, the usual.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Finally getting around to fixing up some old "landlord specials" in my flat. This place was an ex-rental. I moved in nearly 3 years ago and have spent the majority of my disposable income on legal fees to combat upstairs neighbours from hell.

Hey, so film people. Have you seen anything good, but not mainstream in the last 5 years that you'd recommend? I'm particularly after quirky, sci-fi, fantasy.

Looking after a tiny (quite large) doggo tomorrow. I've met this one before and she is sweet, and silly, and clumsy. And she is loved.

I feel like I'm constantly swapping my reddit RSS feeds between old.* and www.*

I’m going to start pronouncing “feud” as “foid”.

Commercial Property Investment Fund and Canberra Airport boss is upset employees are working from home.

Finally used the Wahl hair clippers again after taking it apart and sharpening it with a whetstone around Xmas. Worked a treat!

I just went to Bunnings to buy something and they said they wouldn't have it on the floor until tomorrow so while in the carpark I ordered it on click and collect and now I am about to put it in my car. The Logisticrats!

This (typo) is literally the dream, not an inconvenience

A bit annoyed at receiving an external DVD drive with a Y cable that had 2 regular USB connections when my new laptop only has USB C. Ordered a couple of new cables and it's working fiiiine now without needing some weird-ass Y cable.

A huge list of trans Girl Scouts that are selling Girl Scout Cookies. “Please consider choosing a trans girl scout to get your cookies from this year — the kids are under attack this year more than ever, so lets give them some joy.” [erininthemorning.com]

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Prepositions are not interchangeable.

I really dislike meetings where I just read out aloud the contents of an email I'd sent well beforehand.

Deco of the Week #5: Art Deco is officially 100 this year! To celebrate, I've decided to post a weekly photo of a Sydney Art Deco building. This week: British Medical Association Building (1929-30) #artdeco #architecture #artdecoat100 #artdecocentenary

Today is a Modest Mouse day.

I pulled out my old Canon 60D and re-acquainted myself with the settings, backed up the SD card, and had some fun. Looking forward to putting it back to work.

It's been about 10. years since I had to completely wipe a mac. 2 hours and 19 minutes remaining.

they couldn't show you the dentist's face on the Oral B commercial because he lacked tooth actor authentication

So, there's a Google Maps pin dropped for a Friendly Orange Cat near #Eastwood that we're going to go find today. Wish us luck on this most Holy #Caturday.

New laptop means a journey down memory lane viewing old GoPro videos of my bike commute into the city from #Redfern playing back and 4 speed.

Today's penance is going to IKEA.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Best song of the month is a cat playing a theremin. No beats.

I have visited my local pool in this heat. It is quite nice! I bought some goggles from some sporting place, and will take my partner's flippers the next time I go. Can I recommend making use of your local council's facilities?

I have now trained my close #sourdough community (and friends) into referring to my starter and baked loaves as Jesus. It's become part of our vernacular.
