Something above all else that sucks about getting older: the inability to sleep in.
Compounded with turning the TV on to watch the Wallabies limp to another crushing defeat. It is hard to be a rugby supporter in this nation when we are so poor at it.

Totally fucking believable, despite an opportunity to kick the shit out of Trump's political cadaver.
Like the supposed "left" in Australia, they're absolutely spineless simps for their opponents on policy.
And the reason? They will protect The Political Class before literally everyone else. #auspol

Speaking to someone at work today after they asked how I was doing. It turned into a long chat about my long slide into quiet quitting and I was reminded of three quotes:
1) Graveyards are filled with indispensable people
2) Nobody on their deathbed ever said "I wish I'd worked more"

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand)
Results:
Last week: 100.0% RE
Last 219 weeks: 98.6% RE (1/5)

Perfection. No Notes.
Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'.

Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy.

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....

This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

Universities across the world seeing this:

Lets buy free licenses for our students, staff and faculty!!
Lets lock into contracts with rapacious predatory AI companies with shitty technofascist politics, sucking up water and jacking up electricity prices!!"
