Went down to the local nerd store to talk to a nerd.

1700 nicker for a new rig with GFx card extra, he quotes. 20 cores and 20 threads equals 40 cores, he says. Cor lumme, I says. 🫩💸

Woke at 5am today in the middle of a dream where I was on Footy Classified with Hutchy and Caro which was being broadcast live from a moving Z-class tram for some reason. Caro was quite nice.

I mean… yes, but Libs are currently very entertaining.

They have this ongoing closed-door policy pow-wow which looks to be a knife fight between implacably opposed factions, where they can’t agree on anything except microwaved Thatcherist austerity.

Vast scope for reportage of various bastardries.

This is like Australian podcasters releasing a dozen five-minute clips alongside their 80-minute-long podcast to juke the stats.

It’s actually pretty good, but there was no need to diss the Crowdies like that.

A #gamedev bugbear of mine: games which use dark red text on dark backgrounds to signify a shortfall. Very hard to see! This is from KoF AFK, but many others do it. 😡

Tried out the new Grill’d at Millers Junction. Dined in to set a control group, will conduct drive-thru experiment at later date.

Preliminary results: excellent food, but hard to handle. Melbourne burger still impossible to eat without looking like caveman. #melbwest

Before my veterans hockey grand final against Geelong a few weeks ago, our captain said all the pressure was on them as they finished well above us on the ladder.

We got done 3-1.

Hoping for a better result tonight. 💛🧡#aflcatshawks #afl

My doctor wrote down three phone numbers for me earlier in the week:

- Lifeline: 13 11 14
- Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636
- 1300 TRIAGE: 1300 874 243

He wasn’t talking about #AFLCatsHawks, but they may come in handy tonight. 🫩 #afl

m0nty @paulmontgomery.bsky.social · 22d

I saw the Grill’d. Any review? I haven’t seen them do drive-thru before.

Don’t go to the Gate much any more, not even the Junction, mostly the new Woolies in Spotty.

Logged in for the first time in a couple of months. Anything happened while I was away?

m0nty @paulmontgomery.bsky.social · 22d

Only just got to this, haven’t logged in to the ‘Sky for a while.

He is right that there are some middle class people like me who used negative gearing to plan their retirement. Grandfathering us in and phasing it out would solve both problems.

Best of luck to Tilly Lucas-Rodd for getting this difficult and challenging #afl story… off their chest. 🤭 Go Hawks and go Tilly. 💛🧡 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Over the AFLW off-season, Hawthorn's Tilly Lucas-Rodd underwent top surgery, a gender-affirming procedure that involves the removal of breast tissue in essentially a double mastectomy.
