Nearly sent my butcher a pic of a hairstyle I was thinking of going for, instead of my barber. Would’ve have been interesting to see the results.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

American capitalism is off the rails.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Can someone just do some analysis about the line pushed by the Nationals that renewables are leading to “crippling” electric costs in regional areas, instead of just repeating their talking points holus bolus.

'Inequality is not an accident of fate but the outcome of deliberate design — and therefore it can be redesigned.' Essential reading from @mrdtjames.bsky.social on the failed promise of fairness.

So several years after signing a book deal, after 106k words, years of research and a, amount of sweat and tears - I restart the manuscript anew today. A reimagining of all I've written in order to give the story the richness it deserves. Am I daunted, depressed about the prospect? No, I can’t wait!
