I saw a video this week of someone travelling in Argentina and he referred to meals out costing hundreds of thousands of pesos if not millions for a larger group. Didnt seem right. Ok wow they had inflation, checking back in 2009 airport taxi cost 120 pesos now it’s 38,000. That’s some inflation.

Seems very legit! Came from Canada apparently, but with a French stamp on the envelope to an address I moved out of 8 years ago. The convenience of a QR code too! So if you need me, I’ve quit my job I’ll be living on a beach somewhere.

When I was a yoof Triple J was too cool for me. Now they play Zara Larsson and gush about her upcoming tour. Has Triple J become a teenie-bopper station with occasional death metal thrown in?

Boomer brain moments from dad this week (radicalised by Facebook and Sky news): thinks governments selling off assets is a left wing agenda. Was not willing to accept actually quite the opposite, Thatcher, Reagan etc. Choosing to ensure the free education from Gough Whitlam is worth what he paid.

I’ve turned off Siri always listening and you know actually the apparently failing battery life on this 22 month old phone has improved.

Idea: if Penny Wong says something like Ed Milliband did, the embassy will probably close up shop and she won’t have to kick out the ambassador (although she should) over them killing Zomi Francombe. It’ll make a change from him being in the Parliament House members dining room unaccompanied tho.

Deliver Us, Lord, From Ridicule
On Friday, Defence deputy secretary Celia Perkins began her evidence before a senate inquiry into asset sales by the department and Australian military with an embarrassing manoeuvre.

They say the live arts are in trouble. When it’s $219-359 per seat (+bf) to go to My Fair Lady, yeah, it’s in trouble.

The new scoundrel’s lair? ‘My job is too hard and I don’t like that in a public role I have to be subject to scrutiny to be accountable, it’s just so distressing when mean senators ask hard questions’.
Extraordinary. Defence’s Celia Perkins says she refused to answer questions on selling off police-used Defence land—despite knowing the answer, coz Shoebridge’s questions are “distressing”🤦♂️
Shoebridge “This isn’t dental surgery! You’re meant to give the answers you know!”🔥 ffs

I think in the supermarket wars, Coles wins the week for apparently cancelling Palentir. Meanwhile Woolworths is in the shit zone, just cancelling Tasmanian meat and yoghurt. They’re now going to import it into Tasmania because…you can just put it on a boat from the big island.

Despite my dire predictions earlier today, I think there’s very much a market for companies to promote the fact that they only use ethical data centres powered with renewable energy. Consumers are glad to choose green electricity or ethically sourced products, why not also non-earth frying AI bots.

This sounds harsh but having just watched some video about yet another $527bn American data centre project completely run on fossil fuels, I reisterate my expectation that humanity will not make it past 2100. I guess to summon some boomer energy, I don’t need to worry because nor will I.

All these memes about a good night out in 2007…reminds me that the high point for humanity was like the late 90s early 2000s. It’s been downhill since there. We didn’t know how good we had it.

My daughter, who is seven, just asked me what Elon Musk's job is, and whether he has one. Jokingly, I answered, "Musk's only job is convincing people that what he owns is worth a trillion dollars," but once I started thinking about it, I actually think that's a reasonably good explanation
