Google AI should be put back into testing for a decade, so embarrassing. The wombats in the Swan St Park are sculptures.

Delivering on an election promise by handing over my 2008-2025 election night tie to the Museum of Australian Democracy, Old Parliament House, Canberra. When I paid $20 for it in 2008, never thought it would end up in a museum.

loving this suggestion to remove the donkey vote advantage by printing ballots on round paper with a centre hole, and installing spindles into ballot booths to "facilitate spinning if needed". i suspect it will be deemed logistically impractical, but it would certainly make voting more whimsical

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

I got Old World on sale and it’s great, but none of the symbols for the attributes make sense! Charisma is a brown heart? Only wisdom being an owl makes sense, but the icon just looks like an evil guy!!
