I just ordered an oat milk latte. I asked for it 'nice and hot'. The wait staff said, nice and hot or extra hot? I've complicated things and didn't know what to say!

Have I posted this before? #BeLikeLiz! Liz is St Peters' Station Manager for Sydney Trains. She's out front every morning greeting passengers. She is gold for the Transport for NSW brand!

This debate is everywhere! Here's my two cents. No to iced coffee face-to-face but yes to hot coffee over Teams. What say you?

X shuts down apps that show its posts. Bluesky exists to ernable it. One of these networks is about promoting freedom, the other is not.

We had the pleasure of meeting Dolly Parton in Sydney after her show. She was a pure spirit, ground breaking for female artists, with the self belief of her talent and expression. Much respect and gratitude for Dolly’s philanthropic work and commitment to childhood literacy. A huge loss to us all.

This is the kind of stuff Sam Neill would be subjected to on his visits to our place. Elly-May and the kids made this film one Christmas. Such a good sport our Sam, I miss him.

High Court finds secret recording can be used as evidence in DV case

Good point. No algos resonates with people but is too simplistic and not accurate. I need to find a better way to communicate the reality. No lock-in is more important IMO.
