I don't know how, but we've got to get better at supporting people's mental health.

The world we live in with numbers of clicks, likes and shallow interactions is the exact opposite of a supportive environment for mental health.

Danny Tran on ABCTV News (Victoria) just stated "traffic lights were on the fritz".

I suspect that isn't in their style guide.

When the designer and builder don't talk, you end up with holes in the fence so air intake requirements can be met.....

Was the reason for the #BRS trial really about defamation, or was it find out what evidence is in existence with a view to a potential criminal trial?

Was checking definition of "pansexual" just because, and a Wikipedia article listing "famous" pansexuals was a result.

Either I'm out of touch, or the definition of famous has moved on.

TBF, probably both. :Pooh_wave:

It's 530am, I'm awake, with the open balcony door letting bird songs through and the cool night air is washing in, allowing me to snuggle into my doona.

Conversely, I wish I was asleep, rolling through a final hour or two of dreams as I mentally prepare for a new week (and new job).

I just got woken by another #earthquake in #melbourne

Edit - Magnitude 5.1, near Apollo bay @2.11am.

Just had a phone call calling me "Andrew... mate", explaining that the Victorian government has a rebate on heat pump hot water systems, asking what me existing system was.

He hung up when I said I didn't have hot water and just used a hose.

Will the Gods of procrastination take my phone away from me so I can finish these meeting minutes, shut the laptop and commence my weekend?

Good morning.

A journalist proving #Perth is nothing but a regional country town?

I'm sure "Over east" isn't in the style guide.

@melissabeartrix don't forget the frownies are in the breezer.

I win the crappy #Christmas present of the year this time around.

Started watching "Welcome to Wrexham", which is storyboarded so well to steer it in the human direction rather than make it a vehicle to promote the club (which arguably is its primary purpose).

I'm tempted to show it to Mr 8 & 11, although the number of F bombs is excessive.

What strategies do other parents use around swearing? I know they'll hear far worse, and I try and not swear at home, as well as explain that just because other people swear doesn't make it acceptable. Any other strategies other than avoid?

@melissabeartrix Don't forget the brownies are in the freezer.

If the Australian #tax office can fudge it's call waiting times by hanging up on 1 in 4 calls so they hit a desired wait time, I'm allowed to under report my salary by a quarter to hit a desired tax rate? #ATO

The things you do at family day at a #cycling club. The additional belly made things slightly less aero. @cycling

Any article which includes the phrase "first dropped their dacks" has to be worth reading, let alone one about mooning a train.

It's Thursday, and I've quadrupled the time between longest visits to the toilet since Sunday by hitting 8 hours.

Yes, it's been a shitty week.
