Show me a phrase more cursed than “HR is thrilled to launch Workday for Microsoft Teams to all employees”.

@jpm Not when you can't afford to do anything because the budget has been cut to pay for it.

Australian billionaires are pretty shithouse compared to their foreign counterparts. We have a billionaire that pays people to swim in shallow water and complain about art.

In other countries they to go to the depths of the ocean in carbon fibre submersibles and never return.

If you elect me, I will tear down the fence preventing Australians from taking their rightful place atop the Australian parliament house. And then I'm going to replace the flag pole with a big dunny.

This is my election promise.

@Taco_lad I feel that this may be an accessibility issue, but, yes.

@allrite@allrite.at avatar

@Taco_lad Okay, a compromise. We put the toilet at roof level, but use the flagpole as a launch mechanism to send the existing pollies into space.

Australia needs a human spaceflight capability.

Putting several men and women on the Moon (permanently) is another of my electoral promises.

On a train from Bendigo back to the metrop. Is this the most Aussie railway station name? #Train #Trains

it would be cool to have one of those radio controlled watches that automatically syncs time to an atomic clock, but they don't work in australia :(

@decryption We have a Japanese alarm clock that seems to occasionally pick up the signal in Sydney, to the extent that we've given up adjusting the local time.

@decryption Exactly.

When Iived in Australia, I realised that we Malaysians had access to more advanced tech. Our laptops, smartphones etc were more advanced.
When I was a journalist who would travel overseas to interview people - Asian journalists always had the slickest voice recorders. We were using MP3 recorders while the Western journos were still using tape.
I don't think it's because we r smarter; I think we dare to copy & improve while co's in the West are more protective & possessive of their #tech. 1/2

@liztai What annoyed me was the disdainful attitude that "You are stupid wasting time creating your own thing. You should just copy someone else." Forgetting that someone has to put the time and effort into creating it in the first place.

It's very disheartening.

@liztai It's certainly not a uniquely Asian thing. In fact, it reminds me of the promoters of generative AI, built on ingesting the works of others.

Organisation wants to "remove duplication and silos" and I'm dealing with a massive one right now.

Not sure whether I should point this out to management.

@jpm I was in that silo 20 years ago. I think we've waited long enough.

Dear Kid's School,

I am distinctly unexcited that you have decided to partner with the Salvation Army to raise funds for charity and question how this complies with the school's attempts to support a culture of diversity and tolerance.

Regards,

Me.

Damn, now I have to look up examples of this behaviour rather than just file under "Don't donate to the Salvos".

We're mostly vegetarian at home, but I've long since given up ordering the vegetarian option on planes. Too much of a risky dice-throw.

‘One word – disgusting!’ The sad, sorry state of airline vegetarian meals

@timrichards Last couple of Jetstar flights I ordered the vegetarian quiche instead of the meat pie option because it is better (and probably better than all the other hot options based on our limited testing).

What would concern me most is if the wellness and vegan options had any joy added to them, because the passengers definitely don't want that.

Furiosa was partly filmed in the Sutherland Shire (we saw them from a distance). It should feature a vehicle stuck on Audley Weir.

Furiosa should also feature a scene where she says her name is "It's FurioSAH, not FurioSER" in a posh English accent and then strikes a Queen Terf dead.

Reconsidering my proposed talk title for WordCamp Sydney. Now tempted to go with: "My readers are morons and I'm lazy: Why I use AI to drive traffic to my worthless website."

Not so catchy and I don't actually do this, but I feel like lots are. Also, I don't have cool hair and cool tatts so may not come across as "authentic".

I've got an apocalypse scheduled at 10.30, but I'm free after lunch. Want to meet up then?

"But I'll be dead!"

Yes, but it's a zombie apocalypse, so you'll likely still be moving.
