Private equity: an entire industry of Bond villains.

And we were all saying we should pump money in to get the scientists that the US isn’t funding. Seriously, @albomp.bsky.social

Thinking about how this could apply to writing.

I hope you made it back okay.

Coast view in morning. Dirt leading to rocky shore.

Hopefully, not for long.

💯 but, maybe take a broader picture as well. HECS is too large across the board. Shouldn’t be indexed. It’s an investment in our economy. And throw in that the leaching bureaucracy running universities needs to be reined in so that the overblown costs are a thing of the past.

If they win government, they promise they will begin research in magic wands to wave. All research funds going to a newly created company with 2 employees and an address listed as a beachside shack, while the company is incorporated in a tax haven.

Might as well register their party as a lobby group.

I think it means: claim you were part of it despite doing nothing or actively working against it.

And buy from more places than scholastic to support an Aussie industry. Indie authors for example…

See you at Bowerbird 21-23 November, Adelaide showgrounds.

Spending the morning prepping some display items for Bowerbird, an absolutely huge gift market in the Adelaide showgrounds. 21-23 November. If you don't know me, I'm an indie author. Drop by, say hi, and tell me what you like to read.

I view it as a reminder to always be vigilant.

Though in Australia a conservative government privatised it ,and it had to be set up a second time as a public system.

When can we launch him into space? One way.

This is terrible.

All I see is triffids at the door.

I think there’s a close connection between the overcapitalisation of Tesla and that of AI companies. Tulip syndrome.

My guess: they’re afraid that any friction will collapse the fever dream.

I’ve found this hard to follow. What is the new law changing? I read something about giving some kind of national interest exemption, but I’ve not seen much on the positive side.

Playing with technique I learnt from rapier. Off hand on the blade allows for some interesting flicking forward. It works well in sabre, though it also offers no threat with the point. This kind of variation is perfect for writing a sword fight.

I’ve heard several of my younger friends say so, and I can’t argue with their logic. Funny that those so wanting to make people poor are the same ones wanting them to have endless streams of babies.

I’d prefer reason and evidence guided the politicians, but I think it’s ultimately money that does.
