@iain_chalmers I don’t think it’s even POSSIBLE to take things out of context when they involve #fisting, is it?
@wolfcat The #fisting wager has been paid. @mpesce’s honour is intact. Photographic evidence at http://bit.ly/ERhOU
@courtney_gibson Oh course, I missed the obvious joke: “I didn’t know Harold Bishop was a dentist!” Le Sigh.
@courtney_gibson Oh touché! But surely we shouldn’t be making fun of The Logies? THEY will com and spank us?
Mon plan: A longish day at my desk to sort out the billion loose ends that threaten to choke our city’s water supplies. Also, coffee.
Which leak has most impact on our democracy? ACMA blacklist? http://bit.ly/7HX55 The Logies? http://bit.ly/vgQlR Discuss.
@maenad_au That is a whole different world of dots. http://tinyurl.com/37dcb5 I know not that world.
@Yin_0x7f Isn’t it curious? Computers are “everywhere”, and yet MSM reportage still treats it as jolly-superficial. Politicians too.
@SnarkyPlatypus Also, dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. http://bit.ly/dhhiX
@SnarkyPlatypus S’il vous plaît ne les avertir! Ces tentacules sont super-puissant, comme elles ont été faites par un artiste japonais.
@SnarkyPlatypus Les tentacules sont inévitables. http://bit.ly/2LYX6s

@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. J’ai été passer trop de temps avec les tentacules. http://bit.ly/elgMH Et vous?
Emerges. Dots. More dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots. Dots.

I think Crikey’s last piece on Victorian ALP factions was this one from January. http://bit.ly/vQieA
@chaosboi Ta for those links. Going back even further, to 2004, we have this profile of Stephen Conroy: http://bit.ly/Wd2wF
@andrewbarnett Nah the Filter was never intended to be a factional thing. It was a preferences-winner for Family First.
@maenad_au Conroy is Victorian Catholic Conservative Right of the ALP, but my knowledge of those machinations is… limited.
@maenad_au “Why would Conroy be set up to fail?” Any number of people would want his job, or he or his faction to look bad. You choose!
@simontsmall But one’s view of Twitter is defined by who you FOLLOW, i.e. who you choose to see. [shrugs] Too hard to explain briefly. ;)
@simontsmall Twitter has “followers” as a metric on display, yes, so (some) people will see that as the goal. They are losers.
@SnarkyPlatypus Oh, I like “tonally-challenged alpaca”! You know that means I have to play the song, though. http://bit.ly/79C7g
