I missed a call, got a voicemail saying call ACT Government Shared Services about Customer <bunch of digits>. The phone number seems legit, but no idea what the f*ck is going on. I won't be calling.

@craigharvey Normalize scanning someone else’s face. Front cover of a magazine, billboard pic, photo in a newspaper, your mum, a statue, all kinds of things you can aim a camera at. The kids will figure it out.

Also - don't normalise scanning your face for some random fucking app / website

@davedave yeah I get that, but these AI slop generators aren't going to cut it.

@emmadavidson great job MCing tonight at the #RisingTide event, was a great evening. #canberra

Compiler telling me 'Success' may be null here. Damn straight, that's life.

Kind of shocked we don't have "Double or nothing?" gambling at Coles and Woolies checkouts already. Get on it Australia

A cartoon mirroring the Tiananmen Square Tank Man photo. There are four tanks moving down a street. They bear signs saying 'happy birthday mister president'. The last tank has a red balloon attached to it.

In the background is a prisoner transport bus with a sign that says ICE.

In front of the tanks stands Lady Liberty holding shopping bags just as Tiananmen Square Tank Man did.

@luciedigitalni crikey. As if the world didn't have enough chaos, now this!

Absolutely excited to enter my Bitlocker recovery key ... because updates?
