Soooooo, if it’s okay for the US to go into another country, abduct the leader of said country and then take them to another to stand trial for crimes then wouldn’t that make it okay for the military of a country to enter Israel…

Client used a graphic designer to create some icons for him. All nicely laid out, all consistent with each other, it was a nice bit of work.
The client now feeds those icons into an AI app to create new icons with the same style for a fraction of what the GD charged.
AI is cancer.

In shocking news the United States has said they’re in favour of screwing Australia out of nearly $400bn for Schrödinger’s submarines.
The Australian government is said to be more than happy with the arrangement as it’s not their money being spent and they get paid either way.

Driving on the highway, no real schedule to keep, my life is my own.
The radio is playing music from my youth and to be honest I feel young and alive.
Then they go to an ad break and the first ad is for new tyres, the second an ad for a retirement village.
I don’t feel so young anymore. 🪦

My Auspol forecast:
Nats successfully blow up the Coalition.
Joyce moves to One Nation and becomes leader.
ON wins lower house seats due to the Libs tearing themselves apart.
Nats (with LNP ministers deserting Libs) forms coalition with One Nation.
Entire country face palms.

Got up to 38.5c today on the Sunny Coast. Now at 5.30pm it’s dropped by a staggering 2.5c. On the bright side the washing is turbo drying and I can thaw tonight’s dinner by placing it in the carport… and cook it by popping it on the driveway.

Bank called yesterday to say they have been trying to reach me and needed some personal info from me. Yeah nah, but just in case I rang the bank back to confirm. 20 minutes on hold then the person who answered couldn’t hear me. I however could clearly hear her flushing the toilet.

Just curious but why does there have to be an official ceasefire for Israel to lift the aid blockade? The only ones targeting aid and aid workers has been the IDF so can't they just stop doing that and let the aid through?
Do we really need a 20 point plan from Trump for this?

ABC QLD reports on the march of the racists… sorry, March for Australia. Melbourne march was led by, and I quote, “men dressed in black”.
FFS they know these “men” self identify as Neo Nazis, why not just name them. People should know who is running this.
