From Microsoft's recent filings and the hit it reported on its stake in OpenAI, it is fair to surmise that OpenAI lost around USD $12.5b in the last quarter. 🤷‍♂️

40 year mortgages are already a thing Down Under.

So I ran the numbers on a $678k (national av) P&I variable interest loan to calculate the interest repaid:

20 year: $535,000
30 year: $865,000
40 year: $1,200,000
50 year: $1,600,000

I would *love* to give a bank ~$1m of my hard earned. 🤗

This '50 year mortgage' idea Trump is pushing is generating some epic memes! 😂

“This man knows no beauty and his whole world has devolved into fights on the Internet.”

Man: “Liar. I will fight you on the Internet.”

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Forget the Dismissal, check out the wheels!! 🤩

In other words, give back some of the revenue raised from these very same people via tariffs; an economic sleight-of-hand.

From memory, 2 million men from the subcontinent volunteered for WWII, to fight with the Allies against the Axis powers.

The largest volunteer army in history. Now largely whitewashed from Western history books, an inconvenience to the narrative 'it was us wot won the War'.

'Incineration, you know what I mean'.

Goon a movie.

Goon in 60 seconds.

On that point, any sign of Jillian Segal?

Seems like an opportune time for her to step up and do that thingy that she was specifically appointed for.

I'm sorry but the fact that the NSW Police Commissioner is under the pump re the NSN rally at the steps of their Parliament has much to do with the slogan on display.

Had it said 'Migrants out' or 'Australia for the white man', he wouldn't be being grilled by Sarah Ferguson right now.

Uh, just found out that a former consulting colleague, who also happened to be a former Treasury Secretary, passed away over the weekend.

Vale T.C., a life of dutiful public service well lived.

Goon Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

You are the company you keep.

The first rule of 'milkshake in the middle of the day club' is that you don't talk about 'milkshake in the middle of the day club'.

If not all, then a substantial majority.

Because housing (alongside food and energy) are 'cradle to grave' basic needs (not wants).

'Vibe coding' named word of the year by Collins Dictionary.

Um, that's two words, which in my estimation makes it a phrase instead.

One in five Australian households 'severely food insecure', report finds A new report from Foodbank finds 20 per cent of Australian households have skipped meals or days of eating in the year to July.

When you get to the stage where 1 in 5 households are experiencing food insecurity, you've passed the cost-of-living 'crisis' stage and normalised cost-of-living precariousness.

Mamdani is going to implement Shakira law. Hips will no longer be able to lie.

Yeah, we've been here a minute. 😉

As to why so many people moved from the subcontinent to British colonies in the Caribbean, here's a hint... 1834.

So Zohran #Mamdani has forebears who left India 200 years ago for a British colony (Uganda), a few decades before mine.

A reminder, if it's needed, that people like us are here (in Western nations) because imperial colonisers were there (in Eastern ones).

And no, we're not 'fresh off the boat'. 🤷‍♂️

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Some exciting news from Jan Fran and I. We launched our independent media company Ette Media less than five months ago and we're taking our show on the road baby!

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Congrats to Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries for finding themselves on the wrong side of history. Quite the achievement. 👏
