A small part of me wishes Hunter S Thompson was still alive to be commentating on Trump v Musk.
Fingers crossed for a #transmetropolitan sequel at least. Heck.

Happy pride month everyone! If you're straight you can still celebrate by giving a queer person money.

I finally finished a Book! It was Because Internet by @gretchenmcc.bsky.social which I've wanted to read for literally years. It is fascinating how much has changed since it was published, and how tiny the internet pocket I grew up in really was.
Thanks Torhi for buying me the book!

My favourite auspol social media human is on Bluesky now!
As we near an election it's important to understand how your member/senators have voted and if that reflects your values. Here's a handy resource for summarising voting records: theyvoteforyou.org.au
How does your MP vote on the issues that matter to you?
Forget what politicians say. What truly matters is what they do. And what they do is vote, to write our laws which affect us all.

I'm opening because I want to be in the bar anyway to make sure we're not leaking!
The windy bit of Alfred has passed!
Our coastal and southern pals had a very hard night, we were lucky!
We are tentatively opening for drinks and chat.
We're monitoring the river and our ceiling, and you should do the same.
If it's flooded, forget it. But if you're going stir crazy come visit!

A cyclone on the forecast isn't something you see every day. I've never seen it before! It'll be an interesting week at work. Wed-Sat is when we are open 👀🌀

The Queensland music industry is perhaps beyond asking and into begging people to preorder tickets to shows. Or come to them at all.

Well now I'm following Mark Hamill here.
After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.
Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

Real talk.
Every day there is a new email. I reply, and I receive another email. The cycle never ends.

I need activities on my days off or I will end up working or doomscrolling instead of having a day off. However, I am too tired for activities. Halp.

The number of "friends" I have on FB keeps dropping.
I wonder if that's because I'm being loudly left in a right leaning world, or because folks are leaving the platform for good.
