I need a new brain. Just saw a listserv post from a "Kelly Ann Sam" and now have a T. Rex "Telegram Sam" #earworm.

Lovely to hear from @squigglyrick.bsky.social and get a clearer view from France. If you read this Rick’ from Montmartre (dear to my heart after a four day stay in a 4th floor apartment) is restaurant L’Saggitaire still open? thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2026/10...

I can see why he and Trump matched on Bumble

Australia fights back against American hegemony. Christmas tatt instead of halloween tatt in October.

None of this will be a surprise - but anyone thinking AI is actually intelligent and not a big word association pattern recogniser is in for a rough life.

Who is this cute little guy? I like his white gloves. #entomology . Google thinks stilt legged fly en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimegra...

I have mild mental problem where I always refer to Basecamp as Bandcamp.

"Lighten up" says grifter terrified of being asked questions by media not owned by her billionaire backers.

Underserved or undeserved?

At the Hound Small Bar for Daniel Muggleton. Amusing myself woth Shazam on their music choices. They're good. Strong Welsh lean though. Although we're in Ireland with a 2019 track from Fontaines DC right now #standupcomedy

Week 19 #pineappleallstops

Recipe calls for pink peppercorns. Gotta love a tropical cook's garden.

For later PlayPhrase.me: Site for cinema archaeologists. share.google/NyVoLkkRU8dM...

I just noticed 'V/r," at the end of an email. Had to look it up; "Very respectfully". Somehow using an abbreviation of that phrase doesn't feel very respectful. thx for att to this mtr.

I saw this quote from the UWA VC “With 10 per cent share of population WA contributes 20 per cent to Australia’s GDP." And it made me wonder why no-one ever says "With 33 per cent of the land mass WA contributes 20 per cent to Australia's GDP."

I have no idea how I managed existence before I had a phone

If god told Adam and Eve to replenish the Earth in Genesis 1:28 that's sort of an admission it had previously been fucked up/depleted/exhausted.

The Saturday Paper’s editorials rarely miss, but damn! thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/edit...

Meanwhile in Australia, any health professional who dares draw attention to Israel's deliberate targeting of doctors and health facilities in Gaza risks being called out for "antisemitism". Thanks to the health regulatory body #AHPRA caving in to Jillian Segal. #GazaGenocide #auspol

Sometimes scammers are a bit dumb

Great piece. Highlighted for me the class hit job of the RBA’s actions; increasing inflation to increase unemployment when their rises have forced mortgagees into multiple jobs/more hours to service higher mortgage rates. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/economy...

I'm getting "Hope Again" on a t-shirt, but spelling it "Ho' Pagan" and sticking a small chatgpt logo on it.

Chill people, it's not like she moved to lobbying for the defence or mining industries. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Week 16 of #PineappleAllStops I believe I detect a slight yellowing.

I'd never heard of Claude François - but this album cover makes me think he left International Rescue after a nasty break up with Brains to follow his musical dream

I'm so onboard with this. I mean; CEO's eat a disproportionate amount of earnings, they rehash old ideas, make decisions that attract liability cases and ignore context, societal impact and the long game. Perfect candidates for AI replacement.

I was today years old when I learnt that one of my favourite tracks from Aladdin Sane was a reworking of a 1970s Bowie release. Mick Ronson deserves cred. www.youtube.com/watch?v=16A1...

I want to have a Vietnamese food van called "Bun Cha Koontz".

I'm searching for new sobriquet for the rebranded SkyNews - right now this is my top choice: News Plenty Poor

I feel like this musician's web site should receive some kind of award. www.sandromarinoni.com

I guess we’ll have to rely on Murdoch and Stokes outlets to ask Pauline Hanson if Factphobia is a genetic trait for orange clowns

Walking iris (Trimezia northiana) likes this time of year in #Cairns

I was today's year old when I learn there's a suburb in Queensland called Berserker. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk...

I have a simple rule for dealing with my professional inbox "If you don't understand the subject, delete the thread" Case in point: "Cloud App Center Item Updater by Excel Conundrum"

I think we should only build data centres on golf courses, balance the scale a little in class terms of who pays in quality of life for them.

B2B software is named either Andromeda or Thing Doer. Andromeda uses cutting edge AI, is endlessly configurable, has a huge sales team, and loses tons of money because at the end of the day it does fuck-all. Thing Doer makes Excel files regulation-compliant, and earns 300 million dollars per year.

Everytime I see a librarian post 'unsubscribe' or 'remove me from this list' in a listserv email I curse a career guidance counsellor.

Trump foreshadows his resignation

I'm a bit annoyed to find I can't do anything eptly. Once labelled inept there's no room for self-improvement.

Facebook offering answers to questions I didn't ask: What's a fart?
