A dog could set up as an international education agent in Australia, assistant minister for IE says with great frankness. I suppose that means regulations are on the way…

We’re using “poor” instead of “low income” again are we?

I’ll rely on AI when it stops misspelling common words in live subtitles. When it’s Indigenous words and family/peoples’ names it’s a bit cringe.

At a high powered academic conference. There’s a nice lady on the auto check in booths claiming she’s not there to help boffins type in their own names, but rather to attach name tags to lanyards. Which is much less embarrassing for the Phds and uni vice chancellors who abound here.

Fair point. Maybe if someone puts the questions in writing, using his full title and respectful, appropriately subordinate language, on Buckingham Palace notepaper?
Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

8am: my physio (who trained on footballers) marvels at the stunning knots in my neck.
3pm: finish typing, cutting and pasting and generally mousing around 1800 words of feature article, wonder why my neck hurts.

Toggling between Hansard and a government statistics spreadsheet trying to figure out wta(redacted) a politician was *talking* about, with a few Budget and cabinet papers thrown in, and my brain hurts. How's your day?

Narrowly prevented myself from looking up latest Trump allegations. Working here folks!

I have Pluribus theories. We’ll see. Tbh I’d like to see more zombie alien virus action and less apocalypse-as-opportunity-for-personal growth. But it’s visually very cool and Seehorn is very watchable.

I need a list of places where there are people with guns to protect me so I can avoid going there. I’ve avoided entire countries for this kind of thing. #melbourne

Owing to god’s hilarious sense of humour, my firstborn’s birthday is also my cancerversary. He was one year old. Today he’s 22.

I’m going surfing.
