Elly LoelIt's always funny seeing a bug in the wild and knowing exactly what's gone wrong 😂
And yes I am very excited about my lil 6" Star Wars figure 😎
Scott“Pet peeve” implies the existence of wild, feral peeves as well
John ShirleyA neurologist told me a remarkable secret...As one gets older, the mind slows, in some ways at least, a bit. Names come more slowly, and so on. So I consulted a neurologist and he showed me a scan of the gears of my mind. "You see the rust, and also bits of old gears crammed in, slowing the turning. But the real problem, the one thing that gums up the gears most, is rodent droppings. Mice and rats. You see it, here and here? However...if you loose a cat within your brain, it may improve..."
Does the synth/organ bed in the Propellerheads/Shirley Bassey classic History Repeating sound like a Bunnings commercial to anyone else?

Mark NewtonPrivatization in Australia:
Canberra Airport, leased for 99 years by the Commonwealth to a property developer for $44m a couple of decades ago.
According to an AOPA FOI request: Between June 2020 and June 2022 the leaseholder billed the ADF $28 m per annum in rent for Fairbairn Air Force Base, and about $4m per annum in parking charges for the RAAF's aircraft.
So a property developer is billing the taxpayer tens of millions of dollars to rent an airport they own and already paid to develop.
unfunkIf you vote "NO" in the #Voice referendum because of some moral high ground even though you support the concept, nobody will care about why you did it. In five, ten, twenty years time, conservative politicians will only say that "Australians don't want it" and dismiss any notion of it getting up again.
It won't matter that you had a niggling concern about a detail, history will only record that you sided with Tony Abbott and George Christensen, and all the very worst of #Australia to deny an #Aboriginal Voice to Parliament.
It won't matter that you supported the concept but not the wording. History won't care, and will only record that "Australia doesn't want that"
I voted "NO" in the republic referendum even though I supported the concept, and look at how that discourse has gone since. The same thing will happen here, mark my words.
Vote "YES" on the Voice to Parliament referendum.
I'm working today on beautiful unceded Bunurong Land north of the Werribee Yalook (river), a land of creeks, stars, hills and red clay.
Before invasion, the fertile soil and fish life in the waterways and bay provided an abundant food source for the Bunurong and Wadawurrung People. From my reading they would often have met their needs by early afternoon and so were known to have a rich cultural life.
This is #stolenLand. Today is the 235th anniversary of #invasionday.
Ooh #Zoom just started putting reply boxes after everyone's messages in chat. And equally suddenly stopped about 30 seconds later.
Accidental release quickly wound back?
