Ye Olde Palais Theatre seems a well run venue atm. Even a staff member directing people to empty toilet cubit in the interval, which I’ve never seen before and is an excellent idea when the queue is 30 people long.

Love that in Australia we measure our eskies in cans. And that it’s only November and Bunnings is sold out of the 30-cans….

I know that sometimes there’s an emergency like an international flight or an unscheduled meeting, but 99% of the time your baby does not need an iPhone. Or an Android. It needs to look at trees and make eye contact with strangers.

Moss is cool.
A team demonstrated that more than 80% of moss spores left on the outside of the ISS for nine months and brought back to Earth germinated normally. The findings confirm that moss spores, already known to be hardy, handily survive the stresses of near-Earth orbit. 🧪 👩🔬

Things there should be a word for: when someone you interact with regularly, say a barista, is short with you because busy or just grumpy, then they make a point of giving you
special attention five minutes later, without actually apologizing.

It’s true I hadn’t realized that the SLV no longer opened in the evenings. It’s also true that I spent many evening hours there researching a book that turned into my PhD: work I simply could not have done in the daytime with a small child at home. edition.theage.com.au/shortcode/TH...

Every now and then I think about the time I slapped a bloke who was groping me in a bar (it was a bar where everyone knew my name, so it was a safe thing for me to do), and I am less disappointed with my admittedly very flawed past self.

here's one for AU uni students and staff: NZ unis regularly publish at least part of their council minutes very soon after the meetings. along with their regular proactive release of cabinet docs, this is one area the Kiwis are leading us by miles...

I’ll rely on AI when it stops misspelling common words in live subtitles. When it’s Indigenous words and family/peoples’ names it’s a bit cringe.

At a high powered academic conference. There’s a nice lady on the auto check in booths claiming she’s not there to help boffins type in their own names, but rather to attach name tags to lanyards. Which is much less embarrassing for the Phds and uni vice chancellors who abound here.

Fair point. Maybe if someone puts the questions in writing, using his full title and respectful, appropriately subordinate language, on Buckingham Palace notepaper?
Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question
