Is there a lot of money to be made in podcasting? Seems every niche now has one. But at some point it’ll be at saturation.

This sun looks like it’s about to step out from the hot water unit and stab you in the back. Very menacing.

I once went to a job interview that had been advertised as a “media relations” or something job, entry level.
Once I was in the room being interviewed I realised it was for a call centre. And spent the rest of the interview trying to sabotage it.

Watching Black Sails, haven’t watched it in many years. I’d forgotten how many of them sound Australian. And how many of them are hot.

I’d forgotten how “The Americans” ends. It’s such a fitting end to the series. Just ending in the cold.
I think were it made now they’d have done a flash forward to the end of USSR.
But it just ends.

Is there such a thing as fancy Bailey’s, or other brand? My grandma has developed a taste for it. As she’s in aged care I’ve been buying consumable Xmas gifts for the last 2 or so years. But am not really au fait with alcohol.

Spent most of today going through my photos library to try and reduce my iCloud storage usage. Had 180GB of 200GB. Ideally I’d like 500GB. 2TB is too much cost wise. Managed through exporting originals and then deleting to get it down to 171GB.

I just don’t think I’ll ever be a collared shirt guy.

This is a very nothing story from the ABC. There’s also no authorial attribution. I’m not suggesting it’s AI, there’s nothing that stands out as AI text. But it’s got a very flat, almost generic tone.
