The random musings of a second-rate mind trapped in a third-rate body. Finance, Tech, Pensions, Housing. Constant observer, occasional scribe. Somewhat prone to #goodtrouble. Probably out riding. π² π΅ββοΈ
Starts Googling 'Nuclear Winter'... for no particular reason.
A meme set in a service (gas) station. The attendant asks a person "Regular or premium?" to which the person answers "I'm just looking, thanks".
As Brent Crude surges past USD $100/barrel, here's one from the vault.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
I saw a bumper sticker with this on it about 20 years ago and have thought about it when I am in/ am being traffic ever since
The Farquad-Trump convergence is complete.
Also a big shout out to the lady with three terriers off the leash.
You can thank my metal disc brake pads for that one little floofie not being pole-axed. π€¬
Cycling pet peeve:
Dog walkers who (correctly) have their dog on a leash to their left (Down Under).
Who, when they hear my bell, wheel around to see what's approaching, their pooch dutifully following, to now face me while blocking my path. π€¬
Stay your course, we'll take care of the rest. π΅ββοΈ
Rubio: βLet me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.β
Very well phrased. π―
A sign in a bookshop that reads "Please note: The post-apocalyptical fiction section has been moved to Current Affairs."
Public Service Announcement.
(Thank you for your attention to this matter!)
Looks like they learned nothing from the Adelaide Writers' Week fiasco.
Slightly worrying for an evidence-based institution. Just sayin'. π
Every time Marc Andreessen emerges to surface some profound tech insight (i.e. to push a16z talking points) I can't help but think of the 1993 movie 'Coneheads'.
Middle-aged dude with a knee brace casually doing chin-ups on a tram this morning is the kind of GenX energy I'm here for!
Kyle Sandilans is the Howard Stern of Joe Rogans.
She didn't recognise the leopard in the room, and its face feasting predeliction, until it was hers being chomped.
Eh, Atlas shrugged... and decided to target a bayside electorate instead. π€·ββοΈ
The world will be a lesser place without their rapier wit. π
That's cos they are. Cha-ching!!
They went to the boss.
Ah well, it's been a good run.
Looking forward to being racially profiled at airport security once again. Sigh.

In this particular case it's called 'The Epstein Files'.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentβs repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
Also, waiting for a 'what the attack on Iran could mean for interest rates and your mortgage repayments' piece to drop in 3..2...
Always interesting when a seismic event occurs on a weekend and the Australian equity market has to kick off proceedings on Monday, with no directional steer from Wall Street.
Looking forward to the Bahrain Grand Prix on 12 April.
Should add a new twist to the Netflix series 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive'.
MarΓa Corina Machado must be feeling like a bit of a goose at the moment.
No Nobel Peace Prize, and not anointed as Venezuelan leader by the bloke who has her prize and just started a war.
