Which of my Australian SW friends would be keen to be on a panel talking about age verification software and AI?

Nice wheels! 👍

I have one. It’s very good. A little cumbersome in design – not the most manoeuvrable beast – but I can’t fault its suction and cleaning ability. Good for pet hair too.

Hey Melbourne peeps! Does anyone have a recommendation for an end of lease cleaner who works in the inner northern suburbs? Thank you! 💕

I would pay good cash money to see you beat Pam Bondi into the dirt.

Welcome back!

Awesome news, Alice! Welcome to the tribe of Waiting For the RBA to Raise Interest Rates and Then Swearing Vehemently and Magnificently!

I’m still shocked by the warm reception this received! There’s about half of these items remaining, including some vintage AP pieces, if anyone is interested.

Link is in my linktree.

🥰

I hear you! 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, yeah, I know all about the ridiculousness of the skimpy ‘armour’, and how unfeasible it is, but … godDAMN! I love me some Red Sonja art! I would polish her sword any day of the week! 😍

True. But then a locked box in the captain’s safe on the Titanic will be seen by more people than the Melania movie.

Anyone prepared to argue that not aborting Mike Johnson was the right thing to do? Besides Mike Johnson, I mean.

😂

No more hate unless it’s directed at people he thinks deserve hatred. Seriously, how has this prick still got a job in the ‘entertainment’ industry?

Also: welcome back to the blue skies. 👋

That. Is. AWESOME! 🤓😮

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

*yell* dammit …

This is outrageous. There was absolutely no need for that Ford worker to tell that second word.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Ah! My favourite Iain Banks book. Sheer genius! 🤯

I left Twitter (I refuse to call it X; Musk can go f himself) over a year ago and my mental health is much better for it!

Sometimes you post something incendiary about someone who absolutely deserves the heat (okay, it was about Trump), but you go too far and make comparisons that risk undermining your point rather than emphasising it. If this happens and an older, wiser friend gently corrects you: listen.

Someone asked me for suggestions on how we can work together to leave X behind and bring our clients over to Bluesky. I wrote a few ideas below.
Please feel free to repost, and reshare on any social media platforms:

Holding an entire population responsible for the acts of their government has always been a childish attitude. In the current environment of partisan-siloed news, corrupt big-tech oligarchy, entrenched power structures, disinformation and weaponised social media, it’s positively embarrassing.

Seconded!

I heard they’re phasing them out. 😶

Guilty: I’m a bookshelf perv! 😂

The Culture is an awesome series. I love how you can pick up any one in any order and it makes complete sense. And those ship names … 🤯

Lovely to see you here again, Holly. Love your bookshelf! I heartily approve of a shelf full of Asimov, Banks, Clarke and Corey! 🚀 🤖 🤓

“Not Sherilyn Fenn” would be bad enough; “someone you’re related to” takes it to a whole new level.

So, fun story: over Christmas a male cousin put a cherry in his mouth, ate the cherry, then tied the stalk in a knot with his tongue, and now I will never find that scene in Twin Peaks erotic again. ☹️
