Weekend in the country and I have a clear view of the Running Chicken Nebula.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
Yeah. Fair call. Perhaps I should have said that the madness level has just increased exponentially today.
The world has now officially gone mad.
Big shoutout to ‘March for Australia’ this weekend for reminding everyone why the rest of us support unity and are against racism.
It is going to be well... for inland Victoria, SA and NSW, a how should I put it...
Human sous vide kind of a week.
It will not be pretty.
A list of 21 debut authors who almost appeared at a writers’ festival.
Imagine you were about to appear at a writers' festival to talk about your first book... then the whole thing fell apart.
I wanted to find debut authors who almost talked at Adelaide Writers' Week. These are 21 folks I've identified so far but *please* let me know who I've missed or mixed up.
It’s been a while since I have done one of these.
Any donation of any size would be greatly appreciated.

My statement regarding my decision to withdraw from this year’s Adelaide Writers Festival.
Thank you @mrblackfrancis.bsky.social for bringing the Pixies to Melbourne. We thoroughly enjoyed both nights.
It’s funny how fear can keep us parked somewhere long after we’ve run out of fuel. Feels good to finally drive off, doesn’t it? Congrats Asher.
Congrats Ronni. I loved this read and cannot wait till your next one.
Python Software Foundation shows they have more principles than a huge number of much larger and more powerful institutions. Good stuff.

A humorous X post by @PaulleyTicks featuring a photo of a worker in a hard hat and blue overalls kneeling inside an escalator filled with boxes labeled "Epstein Files." The caption reads, "Well, there's your problem..." suggesting a playful take on the idea of the escalator malfunctioning due to the weight of the files. The image is set in a public transit environment with an escalator and signage visible.
Oh myyy!
Watching tonight’s episode of foreign correspondent is truly heartbreaking.
Hamas, the isreali government and the IDF are just pure evil.
