Yesterday, Ryan and I were driving to meet his sister and nephew for dinner when I saw someone in my peripheral vision on my left, turned, thought for a second "oh he’s sexy," and then realised it was Vlas heading to his Wednesday night rehearsal in the same direction. 🤣

As much as I enjoy seeing the Coalition dysfunctionally fall apart once again — and I do, I do enjoy that — it's happening once more because their far-right faction is agitating things, and this only benefits Temu-Musk Gina Rinehart's quest to turn Pauline Hanson into Temu-Trump here. It's not good.

Seek has emailed me "you might be a strong candidate for this job" to what may be the very wankiest PA job description I have ever come across, and I have worked as a PA for a lot of wanky people in my time.
I… I may have to pass this opportunity up, I fear.

I was possessed by an urge to play Spore for the first time since 2008, spent maybe an hour and a half and got to the transition to the tribal phase, the game crashed and apparently hadn't saved anything at all and my only option was to start over, so I uninstalled it instead. Such wasted potential.

Unbelievable. I told the Sky News guy to fuck off with his questions and now *that* is the story.
This hungry beast is insatiable.
How’s that Royal Commission into Murdoch media going?

It never occurred to me to look until today, and I looked for no specific reason 'cept curiosity, but best as I can find there's little to no funding to support novelists state or federally. Games funding can potentially cover the whole project, novelists maayybe qualify for a couple thousand bucks.

My order from my incredibly talented friend Avril of Beautiful Freak Cosmetics arrived — folks, this is HANDMADE SOAP, the burger smells like maple bacon and the pickles smell like dill. Go buy things from her because she's amazing and deserves lots of money.

It's Vlas' birthday but he hates them and didn't want to do anything even though I thought he should, so as a compromise he allowed me to make borscht. I slow-cooked osso buco (the cut of meat, not the dish) for four hours to make the beef stock, then made the rest of the recipe.

I’m genuinely impressed that Anthony Albanese has managed to irritate me more at his feckless spinelessness and utter useless behaviour in the face of *gesturing generally* moreso than Scott Morrison ever did and MAN ALIVE was Scott Morrison feckless, spineless, and useless.

It’s 42C outside (108F), the upstairs where the bedroom and office are is impossible to cool down when it gets this hot, Ryan has covid (which means we probably all do), I have a headache and nowhere inside is comfortable. I hate summer. ☹️

It's going to be 40C (104 in Oil Coup Units) on Wednesday AND Friday and I'm already not coping just from the very concept of that sort of heat.

Our Stranger Things season five viewing has finally concluded and I can safely return to the internet without having to dodge spoilers (LOOKING AT YOU POLYGON) left and right.
Verdict: I was expecting them to stick the landing but on the whole I enjoyed the season with no deal breaking quibbles.

I walked into the bathroom to have a shower and turned around to hit the light switch and there was a baby huntsman spider on the wall and the scream I scrummed was not one of the more masculine noises to have come out of me. This was only the second one I've seen alive in all my time in Australia.

I have watched two episodes of the gay hockey show. I have many other opinions, but for now my main one is... there was racier stuff in the first ten minutes of the first episode of Queer as Folk. Twenty five years ago. This is what everyone was hyperventilating about?

White wine poached chicken breast with "salsa verde" (parsley, mint, dill, coriander, and Thai basil); slaw of red cabbage, green apple, fennel, red onion, lime, ginger, sesame oil, caraway seeds, and fried shallots; then finally garlic and ginger steamed broccoli.

And happy two years to the other light of my life, the pelmeni to my poboy, the wonderful Vlas. So grateful for your kindness, intelligence, gentle patience, and generosity. Thank you for embracing and supporting all of me, as well as making sure Ryan is an equal part of our lives, too. Love you. ❤️

Really important to stress that 36 Months accused academics and experts critical of the ban of being 'paid' by big tech. When asked for evidence of this, the MD said "I haven't looked into it."
Meanwhile 36 Months itself was directly funded by a business helping promote the gambling industry.

Scoop: the pro-teen social media ban lobby group 36 Months was funded & co-staffed by its co-founder's ad production firm that was simultaneously making gambling ads
The federal government has ignored calls for a gambling ad ban while pursuing the social media ban.

I finally watched the YouTube recap that has been aggressively shoved at me for days now and it was set to a Chapelle Roan song, so I'm just assuming the takeaway is that YouTube wants /me/ to know that /it/ knows I'm a big flappy floppy homosexual gay gay.
