I used to host Science On Top, a science news podcast. But then 2020 happened, and after 9 years it has ended.

I’m a #skeptic, a geek, and a sci-fi buff. Big #Pratchett fan. I’m both intrigued and frustrated by #politics & #journalism.

But mostly I just toot random things that come to mind, or silly jokes, or memes. You're not always going to get intellectual profundity, but hey anything's possible.

@mojo I'm not sure I agree that they shouldn't have put ON above Labor.
It always pisses me off when Labor puts the Greens last - they're supposed to be on the same side!
So yeah I think if you're a conservative party of course you're going to preference conservative minor parties... if you're going to lose your seat, better to lose to someone on the same side of the spectrum surely?

@200ok Electrician - Bridgette at Bri'lectrix is awesome! https://www.femaleelectricianmelbourne.com.au/

Don't know about screen door installers specifically, but it sounds like something Simon The Handyman could do: https://www.facebook.com/Simonhandymans/

@timrichards We've been looking at accommodation for our honeymoon in Slovenia/Croatia in September, and we've found so much better value on AirBNB. Hotel options were often double the price of the apartments we found!

@MarcAbrahams Few weeks ago I showed the IG Nobels to my son, nine years old, and now he is crazy about flying frogs, stresful cows and dogs peeing to the south/north (actually, our dog is being the continuation of this experiment 😁)
So, everyday he asks me something about science, and -despite I dont have scientist knowledge- we look for the answer together using wikipedia.

Thank you so much for making science atractible for children 👏

Scott Morrison was such a control freak that he secretly appointed himself as a Minister for 6 additional portfolios when he was PM, but he did not have any responsibility for Robodebt when he was just the Minister in charge of it. OK.

@Eka_FOOF_A Pretty sure bone spurs are hereditary...
