For just over 1 km journey, which I normally do with heavy groceries after shopping that I can’t walk home with – Uber wants to charge nearly 4 times the normal price.

The local cab operator wants to charge their usual rate, which is double what Uber would normally charge.
Screenshot from the Uber app taken this afternoon, showing the price they want to charge during a claim limited supply period, which is nearly 4 times the usual cost for a short 1 km journey. The normal price would be $8.90, and they want to charge $32. A screenshot taken this afternoon from the app at the local Taxi operator, showing they want to charge the usual price of $18.35 for the same journey.

What is it with the leaflet droppers in my area the last few weeks!!!

Last week, it was multiple bits of religious and Pentecostal spam.

This week, clueless conspiracy theorists spouting bollocks on digital ID.
An A6 letterbox paper flyer, found in my letterbox today, from an almost non-existent group, whose sole purpose seems to be to gain signatures for a federal parliamentary petition that closed 3 days ago and got less than 2,000 signatures. The flyer, full of nonsense, shows the people behind it and those dropping it on letterboxes with no junk mail signs have zero understanding of the *voluntary* digital identity system being made available, what it’s limited to, how it can be used, and so on. Basically, it’s a bunch of people spouting crap long after the horse has bolted. And you know they’re clueless, because this group has popped up all over the RWNJ-sphere, Including the One Nation pages on Boomerbook.

Ok, it wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t knock your socks off fantastic either.

Go home Amazon, you’re drunk.

Why you think someone purchasing tech equipment, who has never looked at such a category of that sponsored product, would somehow be interested in it…
Screenshot of a redacted Amazon order from within their customer app on an iPhone, showing my purchase of some Ubiquiti UniFi networking hardware for home, with a sponsored advertisement at the bottom of order screen for a wholly unrelated product - being a waterproof ostomy bag cover.

It’s that joke from The Simpsons in real life…
Sequence of images from The Simpsons, "Simpson Tide" Season 9 / Episode 1; where Bart enters the Springfield Mall on the way to get his ear pierced, where every second store is a Starbucks, and one in between them is being turned into a Starbucks.

How is @jonk.org’s all things #PumpkinSpice addiction this season?

Because it’s time for the latest instalment of #PumpkinSpiceHorrors:

Reddit’s r/SimpsonsShitposting has been giving with both hands recently.
A still from The Simpsons Season 4, Episode 17 (Last Exit to Springfield), with a meme caption showing Lisa Simpson sitting down playing the banjo, singing “ come gather shitposters and send us your work, about a maniac named Tyler, and a racist named Kirk”.

CW: Racism, United Kingdom, Musk, RWNJ, Tommy Robinson, Get off Twitter

Was over at Bluesky, and just when you think #MelonHusk can’t get any worse…

Man saves an image, shows it to flight attendants on flight, flight attendants get a good laugh.
#Airlines #Snacks #Cookies
Screenshot of meme, showing a dolphin looking attentively, with the caption. “ How I look at the flight attendant during snacktime so they know I’m awake and would like a cookie.” The meme was originally posted in a Tumblr thread, with the user saying “ definitely showing this to one of the flight attendants during boarding”. The user then post on tumblr later saying “ I showed this to my flight attendant when he gave me my cookies, and he laughed so hard he took my phone and showed it to the other flight attendant.”

A bar in Melbourne, receiving an enquiry from a real estate firm for a Christmas venue, fires back with both barrels 🤣 #ShitRentals
Screenshot of an email, posted to Reddit, saying: Could you please confirm if you have availability for a Christmas party for 42 people (we would need the whole venue) on 05/12 or 12/12 or 19/12 from 16:30? Any questions, please let me know. Best regards, Stephen Naughton People and Culture Coordinator Nelson Alexander <remainder trimmed> Screenshot of an email reply, posted on Reddit, replying to the real estate firm, saying the following: Hey Stephen, Thanks for reaching out. Before confirming any availabilities for your Christmas party, we will need to see copies of the following: - Nelson Alexander's bank account statements dating back 14 calendar years - Previous venue hire history with references from owners of each venue - A signed Stat Dec that Nelson Alexander staff nor management will engage in any undesirable neoliberal capitalist tendencies to profit off of the suffering of the working class whilst on premise Please note that any Landlords you wish to have in attendance will be considered pets and won't be permitted as they may leave a bad smell. Cheers, Rahel

Examples of why not to trust #AI : Just applying some thread locker to some screws on my e-scooter, and needing to check fixture and cure time.
