Just a derp dolphin here for the lols.
Oh and the art. Bit partial to the cats too.
And the authors…and scientists. Partial to some photography, and a smidge of Warhammer figure painting too.
Landscape photographers too. Love me a nice waterfall…

That absolute hero today at Bondi…given the receding hairline and the dad bod there’s a very good chance there’s a missus or ex-missus that is giving him absolute grief tonight for being a bloody idiot risking his life like that 😆😆

I did a short write-up of my and Krissy's recent visit to Venice, which also features some photos I haven't posted over here on Bluesky:

Briefly, Venice
For our 25th anniversary, Krissy and I were planning to go to Iceland and spend a week or so there, getting to know the country. Then the pandemic happened and we ended up spending the anniversary …

Kinda looking forward now to the reaction MAGA ‘Kings Day’ that’s gonna be hyped and hyped and turn out to be a half dozen MAGA who are all related to each other plus a couple of ‘alpha male’ (chortle) vbloggers all standing around a park somewhere staring awkwardly at each other

A half hour of scrolling and so far loads of pics of peoples signs, No Kings March turnouts, Barack Obama pics, the horrific assassination … and not a single photo of the dumb parade. Amazing

I was reading the early reports of Ukraine’s drone strikes on Russian strategic bomber bases, wondering ‘where have I read this before/?’
And then I remembered.
I didn’t read it. I wrote it a couple of years ago. In Zero Day Code. Chapter 17.

Not the fittest dolphin in the pond-have decided that I need to address that.

Just occurred to me that when Donny finally kicks the bucket, they’re going to have to put him in an unmarked grave. Too many people will be wanting to take a crap on him. Not a great look for Arlington.

Quite a few Brisbane people are freaking out about the cyclone. It's OK - it's not a big one. You've been in supercell storms regularly - it's just like that, but goes for longer. Some of those storms you've experienced will have had stronger wind speeds and gusts than this thing.
