I finished this last night. It made me cry and feel so sad and angry. It really is excellent. For the last 18 months, reading has been an escape but also a parallel place to explore and uncover things.

I've been on a 12-month cyberpunk bender. I just finished Snow Crash. It had me from the car description and made me want more Fido. So I am looking forward to the Diamond Age. But I found Random Acts of Senseless Violence on my shelf, bought and forgotten. It's time to take a turn. #reading

According to Gina, you won’t be able to have a cremation because the ovens won’t be allowed to run on fossil fuels, and hospitals will be forced to shut when they have emitted too much CO2 - and she's sponsoring another round of "bush summits" with News Corp

If you buy your sandwich for the day instead of making it at home you're costing yourself about £25 a week. £1300 a year. Over ten years that's £13000!

Which isn't anywhere near enough for a house deposit so people who bought their house in 1995 should stfu and let you yum up your sandwich.

Today’s @heythatsmepod.bsky.social is genuinely one of the coolest episodes we could ever do. It’s chief puppeteer Dave Barclay doing an audio commentary on Who Framed Roger Rabbit! Dave has worked on everything from Yoda to Jabba the Hutt to the Muppets to the Flintstones.

Ten years after former Treasurer Joe Hockey advised Australians to get “a good job that pays good money” to buy a house, new analysis by The Australia Institute reveals just how bad that advice actually was.

I was given noise cancelling headphones a few months ago, life changing, but I’ve been reading the Blue Ant Trilogy to the soundtrack of John Wick 4 (on repeat) and now the two or inextricably linked. #blueant #johnwick

I watched Sing Sing on the weekend. I went in only having seen the trailer. It is such a great film and one to see at the cinema. #film #cinema youtu.be/j3dXc6P3zH8?...

I've been reading @greatdismal.bsky.social's Blue Ant Trilogy and it has been useful to see someone who represents to me as having autism and ADHD be presented not as hero, superhero or genius, but as a survivor. #reading #blueant #neurodiversity #ZeroHistory
