I'm surprised the Trump Govt hasn't run a false flag operation yet, maybe there's no-one left who's halfway smart enough to pull it off. Seems to be a flavour of corruption that's relying more on complicity than complexity.

I was trying to find a clever way of making this point but I did have a sinking sensation this morning that we're all about to be subjected to an onslaught of venal corruption and unforgivably bad grammar
look I know this is not the most important issue but why can none of these people even write a one-line email without coming across as borderline illiterate

I take at least this many steps per day returning to where I was after forgetting what I'd gone to get. And then remembering and going back to get it a second time.

Remember when cheap cane laundry baskets that you got for for about 10 bucks from K-Mart were super common? Well eventually they start breaking and between now and whenever the last time I bought one was, they've vanished.

Even when you avoid them by catching your own fish the Tasmanian salmon industry is still hell bent on ruining it for everyone. Wonder if we'll be able to swim at the beach this summer or if we'll get treated to another round of oily balls of rot www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
Antibiotic approved for Tasmania's farmed salmon — but maybe don't eat fish caught nearby

Psst! Did you know I have a blog that I only sporadically post to and barely ever promote? Anyway, it's not behind some annoying substack paywall and it's mostly about growing food and living in rural Tasmania. I hear blogs are becoming a thing again www.applewoodandearth.com

On Monday I got a LinkedIn email from a marketing company. Not unusual. Ignored. Then a request to connect from an employee. Then an email to my work address. Then a phonecall (thanks but no thanks). Then a follow up email to my work. Now I've been added to their mailing list without my permission?!

‘I don’t like you either’: diplomats hold their breath as Trump chides Rudd over previous comments
President’s comments were greeted with laughter as diplomatic pressure valve finally released
“I don’t like you either. And I probably never will,” President Donald Trump told Australian ambassador Kevin Rudd, at the White House cabinet room table.
It was the testiest and most uncomfortable remark at a typically free-wheeling and chaotic presidential press conference. Continue reading...
