Hunter Valley born. Olympic Coach turned business intelligence and data analyst. 
In 2021 I was the first Australian-born to coach a diver at the Olympics since 1992. Ask me why I don't coach anymore.
Atheist, geek, sports lover, politics excited me, and my favourite dinosaur is the Pterodactyl.

@cathmckimm found him! @prguy
@cathmckimm PR guy? Really. I found Ronni Salt. I’ll have to dig around for PR Guy too. Thanks for the heads up.

In my floor warden training yesterday, they mentioned something I was previously unaware of - if you call the 000 emergency line, but it's unsafe for you to speak, dialing "55" will transfer to a police line with call tracing capabilities.

I'd never heard that before! File that nugget in the back of your brain, folks.

In 2021 race driver Lewis Hamilton wore this amazing helmet in #Qatar, tweeted about it and was much-praised for doing it.

Why was it okay then but not now?

Ticketmaster has exclusive deals with 80% of large venues in the country, allowing the company to set prices and gouge customers with fees.

Monopolization isn't just bad for the music industry, it's bad for the entire American economy.

The few big advertisers Musk had left will leave now.

So it’s a race to see which of these happens first:

1. The Twitter servers go down;

2. He goes bankrupt from zero advertising;

3. Apple & Google take down his Apps for non-compliance; or

4. A government agency sues him to oblivion for breaking hate speech laws.

Which one will it be (or all four at once)?

I taught Obi to “speak”. Good boy!

Hashtags are great and should also be used liberally -that's how we find stuff we're interested in, across the fediverse. HOWEVER, Hashtags [can be difficult for people with visual impairment or ND people] so please use them [most of them] at the end of your post, in a hashtag block, not scattered throughout. One or two are okay.
Edited to add: CamelCase is more important for screenreaders!
