Found some old hard drives and was extremely chuffed to locate some old photos I thought had been lost to the data worms long ago.

Peak FAFO from Drew. Yeah if you deliberately cultivate an online persona as someone who is an insufferable pest, donโ€™t get upset when people believe that you are one.

Went to put the recycling in the bin. Discovered a Tawny Frogmouth.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

Letter from the AFP:

Dear Mr Taylor,

I'm writing in regards to your role in the Cayman Island company which received $80 million from the Federal Government as part of a water rights buyback that occurred without tender in 2017 when Barnaby Joyce was agriculture minister. 

Even though you were director of Eastern Australian Agriculture and have said "I was a consultant" of the company, here at the AFP we can't find any evidence at all that you're in anyway dodgy or corrupt. In fact, it's surprising that anyone brought it up. You are hereby completely exonerated of everything.

Good on you. Keep it up. You're a legend.

Yours sincerely,
Reece Kershaw

Support every trans, non-binary or questioning person you know. Speak out for those you donโ€™t. Vote for politicians who want to expand humanity, not shrink it. And for godโ€™s sake, stop buying Harry Potter or the works of those who want to ruin the lives of our loved ones out of their own ignorance.

Taylor says thereโ€™s โ€œgood migration and bad migrationโ€. Heโ€™s right - the Liberals are not One Nation lite. Theyโ€™re One Nation full cream milk. Abhorrent, nasty, divisive, racist politics. Shame on all the Liberals.

Just saw a report on ABC News 24 - they show none of the footage of police punching people, or Police pulling people away as theyโ€™re in prayer. They just show police and protestors scuffling - saying Police used pepper spray. Thatโ€™s how you get away with it. NewsCorp etc will be worse #auspol

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the world's richest men didnโ€™t even ensure they got home.

A 2 panel sketch disgram of a 1 meter tall pod. in the second panel, an oval section pops off and a demonic little face with short tentacles flies out, crudely drawn.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

The radical and unrealistic position of "no concentration camps"

The reasonable moderate position of "some concentration camps in certain circumstances"

This is a case of two things being true: raising children with high support needs can be indescribably challenging, especially with limited resources. Also, that does not in any way justify murder. 4/4

What people are saying is that none of these reasons should be used to justify or soften the severity of filicide.

And, yes, I have absolutely seen that happen. People have called the murders an act of "love" and "care", even calling the parents "courageous" for this. 3/

But this is carers projecting their own baggage onto the scenario. Nobody is suggesting that carers can't experience extraordinary difficulty, especially when support systems are non-existent or fail. Nobody is saying they don't have a right to feel distress, or any other emotions... 2/

I have been seeing a lot more discourse re: Leon and Otis Clune's murder and I've noticed a pattern.

Many parents and carers of disabled people are interpreting comments rightfully pointing out that extreme psychological distress is not a justification for filicide as denial of their experiences.1/

I have seen several people now state that the parents of Leon and Otis Clune were justified in killing their children because children in care are more likely to be sexually abused.

Somehow they managed to mock the inherent right to life of both disabled people *and* survivors of sexual violence.

Still seeing this, and am especially disgusted when itโ€™s from groups and pages that are ostensibly advocating for disability rights.
