I suspect this has something to do with it. My goodness, you can buy the #ALP for cheap. Actually, this may even be BOGOF territory, if the silence of the LNP is any indication.

Oh #arse.
I have double-booked myself for a #Greens meeting and also for the Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band fillum.
I buggered up my calendar for last month's Greens meeting too, so regrettably, no Conway brothers for me.
Poo.
Does anyone want my two #tickets? It is at 1pm, National Film and Sound Archive. (I imagine it is BYO rubber chicken / kazoo)

My grandmother's arthritis medication came in a plastic bottle with a 'child'-proof cap that required her to grab forcefully, squeeze and twist.
When people put the "It is more likely a mistake than an intention to harm you" thing to me, I always remember my grandmothers arthritis medication.
The designer of that bottle is old now and I hope hope hope they have an arthritis of their own and have been forced, literally, to take their own medicine.
Still makes me white hot angry. It is fifty years ago now.

#ev people, I am after something #notACar that can:
Take me the 7km to Bungendore and back with shopping. (There's 100kmph roads on the way, and no safe verge to retreat to.)
Get me out of my house with the cat and the 'go' boxes in the event of a bushfire.
Carry firewood during the winter over a not-great "road".
Is this a thing that might do those jobs?
I saw a postie riding something very much like it on Friday. Any mastodontists used one?

Another day, another disappointment.
Deciding not to punitively tax superannuations greater than $3M?
Evidence mounting that it is Albanese personally stepping in to make sure the government does nothing 'contentious'. Chalmers, not known for his rabid communism, had his chain yanked. For the heinous crime of? Taxing rich people. Yep. That one.
I will guess that Albanese said:
"It's dead, Jim. The focus groups smell franking credits wafting around. Remember, the great party elders, Howard and Menzies. They *never* spooked the focus groups."
#ALP would the last one of you out turn off the light on the hill? Ta.

If you want different, vote #Greens

Dear Support@spatulacity.com
Regarding your question "Could you go to the depot to pick up the spatulas?"
The spatulas are apparently in #Sydney (according to Random Courier Company, that you employed, I have no relationship with RCC, and they certainly don't care about my needs very much.)
Please google "Sydney".
I am in #Bywong.
Please google "Bywong".
Isn't it lovely? Just outside our capital.
The trip from Bywong to Sydney and back takes six hours, with the necessary breaks for; micturation, hydrocarbon injection and dealing with the almost inevitable kangaroo death.
No, I will not pick up the spatulas.

there was a kanji cp/m or ?mp/m? I am going back too far in my grey squishy memory, but let me try some free association meditation and I'll get back to you if something floats up....

My mum, who is 83, was called "by a nice man from [the ISP] who told me my bank account had been attacked. It's OK, he fixed my computer. He told me there's no need to talk to the bank, he'd stopped the attack".
Oh mum. That nice man, he wasn't nice. Not at all.
My mother is now being taken to a physical branch, to see exactly how bad the loss is
I do hope, when they stole her money, that they saw the only deposits are; every fortnight, labelled 'old age pension', and tiny.
I do hope these fuckers have mothers too, and that one day they will have the same conversation with her that I just had with mine.
[It looks like the fuckers spent 4 hours trying to install their windows rootkit on her Chromebook. Maybe those wasted hours protected some other target little old lady by keeping the fuckers busy. A small positive?]

I'm not sure it is a problem. I needed an easy way in. I had to scratch the 'gah, no more twitter' itch, not analyse the breadth of options.
Once in, and comfortable, then the rest of the fediwhatsit opened up.
I think mastodon.social is an important thing for the same reasons. 'Start Here' clearly marked. Then wander off into the hills.
