Not sure how you can oppose something as a matter of principle, but support it if Russia were to vote in favour of it 🤷♂️

1/x In the 1840s, a lame American naval officer, grounded at a desk in Washington, cut weeks off the world's ocean voyages without inventing a single machine. His raw material: a warehouse of logbooks nobody had ever read. Matthew Fontaine Maury, Pathfinder of the Seas. A 🧵 #maritimehistory

My upgraded #Vodafone internet is glacial (4G backup). Talk to chatbot on my PC and it's useless, with an idée fixe I must be asking for a refund. Later decide to try again, happen to connect from my phone. Chatbot is helpful, quickly finds correct human, problem fixed. Wondering why the difference.

Not sure if someone's said this but Vance's criticism of Pope Francis is more interesting and less crazy than it's been reported. Francis' statement was the sort of thing Jesus would have said but not the basis of anything the church has believed, ever. Vance was right to say the pope should ...

There's much discussion as to how many seats Pauline Hanson's One Nation will get in the South Australian election. But nearly all PHON senators have been opportunists who abandoned the party during their first term. The time to worry might be when that stops happening.

Just had the classic Australian arachnophobe experience - a spider landed on me when I was lying in bed. It was a daddy long legs which on a fear scale of 0 to 10 is I guess about a 3? Didn't think to get a photo.

The Trump battleship plan is obviously insane but I'm wondering whether there's any way to justify a surface combatant substantially larger than Ticonderoga class, say 20,000 tons.
We'd need to identify a capability it's hard to fit on a smaller vessel. ...

Got a fever. Had a brilliant plan: steal @davidbofinger.bsky.social's identity, including his Blue Sky account. Told concierge at my block of units I'd left my keys and ID inside, social engineered her into letting me in. Not much to steal, the guy lives like a pig...

When I read the script for #shakespeare 's #MuchAdoAboutNothing I now hear Benedick's lines in #MattBerry's voice. I think #Krapopolis is principally to blame.

Australia didn't become independent all at once. But the single most important event was ratification of the Westminster conference, 73 years ago today. After this Britain can't make legislation for Australia, and Australia has its own ambassadors and foreign policy. #notfederation

Trump thinks he can do any job better than experts, whether that's medicine or economics or golf. Essentially he thinks he's Barbie.

People who think Israel's bombing of Qatar is a mistake have I think forgotten that Israel's interests and Netanyahu's interests don't align. The moment the emergency ends Netanyahu is off to court and then prison.
