Hey, @greenleejw.bsky.social - c 1800, transportee to Oz: “… our voyage was at an end … came about two miles from what is now known as Point Lonsdale. The Natives call that place Koonan, which means eels, that fish being in great abundance in almost all the streams running into Port Phillip.”

After years of cross breeding I have created a camouflaged dog.

“Not supported by science” is a beat weak as a headline - Wakefield literally made it up. He paid random kids at a party for blood samples; science had nothing to do with it.

Went to a funeral on Friday. Woman in front of me had an oxygen tube and was in a wheelchair, adorned with a big badge saying Karma. That seemed a little harsh.

Just written a court case and said a woman was baled. Hay, that would probably stop her offending ….

No wonder some days are not productive. Go on Wikipedia for legit work question, scan deaths and find myself reading the obit of a dead Catholic I’ve no interest in (RIP to him and all that). Came on here to post that observation and end up reading @fesshole.bsky.social for five minutes.

when you're finally in bed after another exhausting day of pretending to be human:
a painting of a woman laying in a bed with a blue blanket and a white pillow
Alt: Gif with the painting of a woman laying in a bed with a blue blanket and a white pillow, there are three different cuts of the same painting, each getting closer to her face. She's seemingly exhausted and / or in distress.

Press release promoting a local talk: “No advance booing is required”. I think the only heading can be “Crap talk promise by history society”.

If only terrorists could be more like Pete Hegseth; it would make life a lot easier for security agencies. As it is, he just makes it easier for people who think the US government is run by idiots.

I’m looking forward to Trump dumping Musk with a comment about “he’s not very smart”. I’d pay for tickets for that one.

Another nice night to be out in the dark listening to vampire stories (while walking dog).

Walking the dog in the dark on the golf course listening to a story about vampires is fine, until you think a flag is a person.

For every 100 times the news happens 20 seconds after you went to press is the one time the air ambulance lands outside the office on deadline day.

It’s a beautiful morning; the dog walk has left me a little giddy with delight. I’m almost cheerful. Tempered the mood with some @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social
