Kids today will never know the struggles of landing the stylus perfectly between 2 songs. 😂 #Truth

And tech companies are still posting record profits while doing it. They're not trimming fat – they're just realizing they can squeeze more output from fewer terrified people.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Finally got myself a full-body massage up at Carlingford Court. My glutes, hamstrings, and calves really needed it.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Rhye. Where have I been?

Sweet. Got DJ to play The Tron Song. Meow meow meow meow.

Getting Thundercat on at Deadwax.

Another three chillies are growing on my plant. Very happy with the ol’ balcony garden at the moment.

I reckon listening to some quality personal finance podcasters these last two years has saved my sanity.

Glebe Island Bridge - Last year I signed the petition to reopen the Glebe Island Bridge to bikes and pedestrians, and in a couple weeks on Feb. 21 there will be a free community BBQ to continue momentum.

The birds are always yelling about something.

Very lazy weekend for me, but S was constructing and installing combo light and ceiling fans for 4 bedrooms at his place. We did get our Star Trek fix though, and watched In The Shadow Of The Moon (2019) too.

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

White rabbits!!!

Is that cicadas? Or just my tinnitus?

Put that hold music on the speaker and DANCE!

Finished up my MadPaws booking for the day, and came home. Lots of barking and restlessness last night so a nice nap is in order.

End of day decompression by watch videos of annoyed frogs doing their little annoyed noise.

Got tickets and events booked in for the next couple of months thankfully because Big Corp just sent me an invoice.

Landman’s done, now on to The Night Manager.

Every call centre I ever call is experiencing 'unprecedented demand'. Perhaps you have unprecedentedly low staffing levels? anon_opin GOLD from 10th August 2024

If there’s anyone that can teach you (millennials and Gen X’s) about to have a phone call (vomit), it’s Tommy Norris. #landman

At the start of a #RTO day, I thought “What’s going to break or not work today?” with a sense of cynicism reflecting the trust I have in corporate infrastructure.

Of course, I was right. Lucky I took in my own tech to do the job.

Landman asking me if I’m an appropriate age. Tsk.

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

It's a good day to line the attic with earth wool. 3 layers apparently.

didn't feel like calling today, which is even more reason to do it anyway. it took me two minutes to leave a message for my congresswoman; I want her to understand that the harm inflicted by ICE is manifold, that Renee Good should still be alive, that no one should live in terror on American soil.

If I watch too much Landman, my inner voice gets a Texan twang.

ICE agents are fucking stealing and selling peoples’ PHONES
