Interested in things, lots of things. Generally seeking to connect with good and give back in kind.
I sincerely wish Linda Reynolds could have put aside what I accept was her genuinely felt hurt and offense and considered the trauma of the young woman who Tweeted.

It would have made her by far a bigger person than she seems right now.

Read this article about the diabolical Grokipedia by @davidswan.bsky.social and finally pulled the trigger on something I should have done ages ago - a monthly donation to Wikipedia.

We tried Elon Musk’s Wikipedia clone. It’s as racist as you’d expect
The world’s richest man promised the truth. Instead, we get conspiracy theories, plagiarism and distortions about Australia Day, Indigenous Australians and Hitler.

To answer your question - Yes, I believe my neighbours did appreciate my full greatest hits album renditions of Blondie and The Police this afternoon. Very much.

Blue Moon
I want to be on my own
It really was quite on purpose
That I was standing alone

Blue Moon
I’ve tried to be nice about it
Now you’re invading my space
You might be great - but I doubt it
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
I gestured at my earbuds
Pretended to be on the phone

Blue Moon
You tried to chat anyway
I'm sure you're a very nice moon
But I've had a really long day

Blue Moon
I'm sure it does get lonely
But maybe a moon club or course?
I don't think the answer is me

Well it’s a bummer, because I’m only part-way through Only Murders in the Building and Interior Chinatown (love, by the way), but it looks like I need to …

I really cannot tell you why, of all the magnificent toys and chew things this girl has, the toilet brush remains her favourite.

Have just finished the excellent ’Money Men’ by @mccrum.bsky.social

Thank goodness for courageous and tenacious public interest journalism and the media institutions that support them. 🙏

Sarah Ferguson and David Spears should probably have discussed who was driving before this thing kicked off.

Or maybe they did and David can’t stop himself from taking the wheel anyway.

Have just finished reading ‘The Forever War’ by @nickbryantoz.bsky.social - a fascinating if not at all comforting study of the history of social discord in the US and an illuminating backdrop to current times.

Time for the US to change its story.

Listening now and loving Elon’s Spies by @tortoisemedia.bsky.social

If you loved ‘Character Limit’ by @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social and Ludicrous’ by @niedermeyer.io .. get onto it! 🫛
Elon Musk is one of the most powerful men in the world. But for someone so public, there’s one part of his life that’s less well known.

Elon’s Spies, our latest podcast series, looks into the billionaire’s use of private investigators.

Following ‘Character Limit’ and ‘Ludicrous’, continuing the theme of books about megalomaniacal grifters with ‘Billion Dollar Loser’ about Adam Neumann by @reeveswiedeman.bsky.social

Highly recommended. And how is it Elizabeth Holmes was the only one to actually go to gaol?

City of Moreton Bay orders homeless people to stop being homeless. And to relinquish the most important ‘person’ in their life.

Whatever the problem is, this is not the answer.
