The random musings of a second-rate mind trapped in a third-rate body.

Finance, Tech, Pensions, Housing.

Constant observer, occasional scribe.

Somewhat prone to #goodtrouble.

Probably out riding. 🌲 🚵‍♂️

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Gas use for electricity generation in Australia is plummeting.

Down 50% over the past decade (!!!) in the NEM on the east coast.

Gas has a small role that's getting smaller and will be absolutely crushed by big batteries in the electricity.

Not a transition fuel, no matter what BS the PM pushes.

We now have leaders of allied nations unable to trust a word the US tells them.

We are witnessing one of the greatest diplomatic and foreign relations blunders of our lifetimes.

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago.

Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

“But perhaps most of all, it’s because of England’s years of talk about cultivating 11 players to approach the game in a certain way, only to be beaten by the one player on the opposing team who does the same.”

Hi Nigel Farage, why did you try to block EU scrutiny of Russian funding for nationalist and Eurosceptic MEPs?

You were one.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is generously praised by Trump in the Oval Office on the same day Majorie Taylor Greene announces a bizarre resignation from Congress.

One of the weirdest days of this era.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Of what I know about human behaviour, the most likely outcome for this individual is to keep transgressing the law (possibly in increasing seriousness). Because the feedback loop is rewarding the behaviour. 🤷‍♂️

Ah bugger, and now it's confirmed that Josh Hazelwood will indeed miss the first Test due to a hamstring strain. #AUSvENG #Ashes2026
Oh great, with The Ashes just days away, our strike bowlers keep breaking down. With Pat out for the first test, now Josh Hazelwood is under a cloud

Between our quicks & theirs (Joffra Archer & Mark Wood) this series might come to be known as 'The Battle of the Dodgy Hammies & Suspect Shoulders'.
