@BENCHPR Ah yes, the headline is also mine, thank you.
So, um, I wrote this at @zdnetaustralia today: “Enjoy your Ubergasm, but don’t expect respect in the morning” zdnet.com/enjoy-your-ube…
@R_Chirgwin After one hour of burning dinosaur juice, there is 50.4V in the cupboard.
@SnarkyPlatypus C’est la vidéo finale de La Résurrection. Je n’ai pas de vie.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Le jour est plein de libertaires et fantasmes sexuels inadéquats. J’édite une vidéo. Et vous?
@R_Chirgwin Plus it’s going down to 6C tonight.
R_Chirgwin Battery is delivering 48.0V, but it’ll be a cloudy morning and I’ll be rushing around, so I’m running the generator for an hour.

@dobes Oh dear God, don’t encourage @swearyanthony.
RT @jeamland: Prime Minister The Honorable Neo-con Sex Kitten? [You got it in one, Supercuddles.]
Pyne? No, that’s laughable. A Queenslander? Yeah nah. So that leaves only one choice. Prime Minister Julie Bishop. You know it makes sense.
Things are so toxic in NSW politics that the next PM can’t possibly be from NSW, so no Hockey, no Turnbull, not even Morrison…
I have just been given a theory, which may perhaps come to pass if the “Dinner w Abbott” thing at iCAC takes down the PM…
GeorgeBludger Oh boy “@davrosz:AWH receipt for $2650 for “Dinner w Abbott” emerges at #ICAC afr.com/p/national/und… Abbott denied ever meeting di Giranomo”

@R_Chirgwin It’s been cloudy, but the battery is still delivering 47.1V, so with a “mostly sunny” afternoon we should be good for tonight.

@MickWest @NewtonMark Good lord, it takes a particular kind of willful ignorance to do that, doesn’t it. Sigh. They’re a weird bunch.
SnarkyPlatypus Miranda’s turned on Tones. IT’S ON.
@MickWest @NewtonMark Look, we’re “helping”… ;)
RT @PeteDotAscian: @stilgherrian @NewtonMark Using SHOUTY CAPS always makes things more true. [YES I KNOW THAT WHY THEY’RE SO GOOD.]
GonzoHacker There is also a sizable idiot market that you can sell to, but then you’re the asshole
@call_me_tomasso @NewtonMark It’s beautiful, isn’t it. A very fine example indeed.
GonzoHacker The hard part of monetization is that people with money to spend are assholes, so you have to cater to assholes or sell your users to them.

One day Mr Rabbit will actually take responsibility for something that comes out of his mouth. rather that dribbling endless excuses.
“The Prime Minister says he doesn’t think it’s a broken promise,” Yes, that’s the basic problem with the Prime Minister.
@umairh So many people say things like this.
@kcarruthers Something is very wrong with @umairh. I think we should send him a care package.
RT @umairh By 2032, American “news” consisted of 27,000 men competing to explain the single piece of journalism that was published annually.
RT @umairh: The 2000s were more innocent times. For example, we never knew goatse was actually a map of the future.

@R_Chirgwin It was sunny most of yesterday, didn’t run the generator last night, the battery is still delivering 47.5V right now. Sweet.
@rebeccacaroe I assume the rowing is at Penrith? Or have I misunderstood?

@patrickgjackson @cward1e That’s lovely stuff, Patrick. I always enjoy these glimpses beyond the formal news stories.

And with one phone call to The America I have significantly reduced my stress levels. Whew.
@kjmci I shall send you an appropriate* message at an appropriate* time.
Spam just arrived: “Have you noticed how you have become so fat and hopeless?” Gosh, thanks.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je me sens terrible. Je n’ai pas eu assez de sommeil. Et il est humide et venteux là-bas. Et vous?
Well here we are then, people, it’s Wednesday. I hope you’re satisfied.
