Alfie is now your ex! It's gonna cry a bunch of tears about it though! Stay safe and don't play in floodwaters! #TCAlfred #cyclone #alfred

Drove past the local private school massive pickup congaline today, and it seemed at least half the mumbuses and occasional sedan were bloody teslas. Oh and some beemers. They're all very plain, they need some exterior decorating.

Timelapse of Cyclone Alfred from Tues am to 30 min ago (seen from weather satellite Himawari-9). Pissfarting drunkenly around off the Coast o' Gold causing trouble like a toolie.

Data from Aus BoM public repository. Daytime true colour, nighttime infrared (heat) in greyscale. Stay safe. #TCAlfred

"For those racially cast aside outside of liberal democracy’s system of rights, the word ‘fascism’ does not always conjure up a distant and alien social order."

Cyclone Alfred is slowing its western trajectory and currently is predicted to make landfall during daytime Friday, or maybe even Saturday! The BoM is synthesising a bunch of complex prediction models & the cyclone is behaving quite weirdly (in cooler waters), making it more unpredictable. #TCAlfred

Reposting. #TCAlfred is intensifying to high-end Cat 2 (110km/h+, gusts <167km/h) & may upgrade to Cat 3 before it hits the coast which is ...not great. (BoM technical bulletin at 4pm, next at 23:30pm AEST)

Facebook blocked Linux discussion for a while recently, citing them as "malware" despite the fact Meta & most of the internet runs on Linux! I could guess the authoritarian motive - open source operating systems can't be bought or controlled. But MFing #TCAlfred? It's "news" therefore it's blocked??

Now it's getting cooler, I'm contemplating the Queer Mullet again. I overheat thru my head to a ridiculous degree (some weird autism side effect?? I know "running hot" is not uncommon) & I've kept hair as minimal as possible over summer. Fuck yeah, Queer Mullet. My hair is naturally bushy & wild.

That sticky feeling when bread is getting a bit past it, oh well. No visible mould = okay, right.

Anyway, Swedish furniture store's jam is delicious, a little bit sour, I particularly recommend the tundra berry jam Sylt Lingon.

Re preparation in Brisbane etc for #TCAlfred, the ABC reports "Worries there is not enough accommodation for homeless"

If we can't find enough resources to house (and feed) everyone, even for a weather calamity, our "civilisation" ain't worth shit. Where's that wealth from technological advances.

Getting a HUGE deluge of US politics in Discover, & it's a bit much. Not sure how much is just what Bluesky is (???) or bc I've trained the algo to serve me more bc I "liked" a bunch of the stuff.

Anyway, if I'm gonna stick around, I need to train that trigger finger to "like" almost anything else.

🌱 I can't be trusted with indoor plants generally so I don't buy them (or I stick them into the garden), but I couldn't resist making a pet of this massive peacock plant - Calathea illustris, it's above my bed during the day and it brings me happiness, look at it.

Latest timelapse of Cyclone Alfred over the last week, careening down the coast of Queensland. Before it's predicted to chuck a U-ey towards the coast tomorrow (Tuesday) arvo.

Victoria (Australia) is a one-party consent state (unlike some states). This means it's legal to record or film a conversation you're involved in. You don't have to let the other party/parties know, or get their consent. You just can't "communicate or publish" it without their consent.

Just because someone bursts into tears at what you said, that doesn't automatically make you the aggressor & them the victim.

But gee, people really wanna believe white feminine cis women's tears when you're not a white masculine cis man.

I'm scared, I can't be specific here, I just need to vent.
