"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more."

Sent it to a music enjoyer buddy and he live-posted his listen-through while I was at the pub. Every time I'd look down there'd be another little music feeling, which is one of my favourite things

Given all that, uh, this was pretty bad: https://ashk.au/2025/12/04/bcec-charging/
The curious case of the complimentary car chargers
The Brisbane convention centre has cheap parking and free car charging. For $16 in parking I can fill my car up with as much juice as I like, which is a pretty good deal, as long as I remember to do it.

I don't consider myself to have ADHD, although there's a LOT of media that wants you to self-diagnose. I've taken the odd quiz and it's like “nah”, but every so often I'll do something I consider an ‘ADHD moment’. Which, given all that, is actually a slur?

The river is high today. Whenever a CityCat passes, the waves crash over the riverbank and wash over the footpath.

The Brisbane Metro rolls along the busway. Electric and silent, except the rubber tyres which squeak like an overly well-built latex fetishist attempting to tie their shoes

After a full week of heatwave conditions I'm wondering: what's an Australian summer mean to you? For me it's a time when everything slows down. Cold drinks, blue skies, the air conditioning wicking moisture from your shirt when you step inside. What's your core summer memory?

The #BOM website is now so slow you can sit there and watch it load like you're back on dial-up. I would have to actually go out of my way to get a score this bad, there's zero reason this stuff shouldn't be instant. What a waste 😭

The guy at the cafe whose name I don't remember makes a latte art seahorse on my coffee today. His mum got him a new jug for his birthday and he's been practising. I feel bad squashing it under the lid.

"Hello to the baby" I say, spotting the cockroach and reaching for the spray, as if my brain hasn't been completely rotted by things on the internet that nobody else has seen, let alone remembers.
