Please. This country has fumbled and fucked its way through cyber security since the internet became a thing.

The fact that our Minister of Cyber Security has Arts and Law degrees and not a day of experience in cyber security or networking says it all.

"We do not, and have never, approved the killing of dingoes. Killing dingoes is killing family.

Except for the dingo pups that were captured and ritualistically eaten for thousands of years?

I used to overthink travel to the point where I just wouldn’t do it, and had never left my country. My ex just used to see a deal online, book it for 6 months in the future regardless of cost or details, and work it out later. I used to have meltdowns. But with her, I visited 5 countries on 2 continents.

It’s been 7 years since we split and I’ve continued on on with her carefree style of organising travel. I just see shit, throw it on the credit card, and make my life align to it. I’ve since visited another 7 countries across 3 more continents.

You sound like someone who would yell out “inappropriate”.

I was recently invited to be a co-organiser of a stand-up comedy festival. I’d never done one before so I was given the rundown before we got to work.

The first thing they told me is that over the past ten(ish) years, comedy festival audiences had completely changed from people coming out to laugh, to people coming out to find ways to be offended, like people who once rode roller coasters for the fear and thrill, now riding them to see how much they could sue for being intentionally frightened.

And it’s true. I saw it actually happening. Every night of comedy two or three people would yell out “inappropriate” or “intolerant” instead of just laughing at what were essentially jokes told in a place centred around joking.

People are dogshit now. We’ve lost our fucking way. We’ve actually gone to war with humour and laughter.

Same with the Google Nest Hub.

It cost me around $600 and has a known splash-screen issue which I just woke up to one morning.

No fix available when it happens. Nothing I did caused it. I just had to bin it.

It’s either planned obsolescence or just shitty design.

Oh shit.

I deserve this.

Enceladus for me.

I’d be pretty happy to put $100 right now on life being found on almost every planet and moon throughout the galaxy where liquid water exists.

Time for a new version of the Bible. The Adam and Eve thing is about to look pretty silly.

Oooh, a vague headline. I can’t wait to click. I won’t believe what happens next.
