Uhoh.
@SnarkyPlatypus Well that’s your problem.
@SnarkyPlatypus BECAUSE YOU ARE AN ARSEHAT.
This will end well.
@drearyclocks This sounds excellent. In two minutes I will be scratching at the door of your office.
Nothing is complete without a cyber, @rashasman.
@drearyclocks Sold. I can even managed to pay for my own drinks when with a colleague. See you soon.
Does anyone want to buy me a drink, or even a bite, before I head back up the hill? Bidding is now open.
What I’ve just been doing on Twitter goes totally against what I’m saying on ABC TV’s Lateline tonight. Do not try this at home.

@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog Oh how very fucking dare you.
@BrigadierSlog @the_cheshirekat Well of course it does. The thing to be outraged about was just on television. Later, it won’t be.
@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog And how utterly arrogant for you to imagine that you, separately, know what unscrewed-up priorities are.
@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog You, too, are part of “the Australian peopleâ€. The Australian people is not the other. It is us. All of us.
@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog And my point is that “the Australian people, in general†is not an actual thing. It’s lazy thinking.
@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog “The public†is just a monolith eh? Who do you think went to those candlelight vigils if not “the public�
@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog So overall, I myself would like to know what your actual point is, apart from today’s unfocused frustration.
@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog And after that, you turned it into an argument about what “the general public†(a monolith?) thinks.
@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog After that, I’ve been trying to deconstruct some of the claims about relative outrage with facts.
@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog Well I began with a simple response to the false and offensive claim that there was “silence†on the issue.
Hold on. @bengrubb just rang my bell. #notaeuphemism
@BrigadierSlog I don’t think the previous lot cared either. Partisanship clouds perceptions. (As does everything else.)
Rob_Stott Race bronies instead
@BrigadierSlog @the_cheshirekat The stuff that works (contacting MPs, offering ways to win etc) is what really needs to happen. (2/2)
@BrigadierSlog @the_cheshirekat Also agreed. The core of my annoyance is the naivety that unfocussed buzz is all that’s needed. (1/2)
@BrigadierSlog @the_cheshirekat Agreed, but that’s still confusing buzz with political pressure.
@the_cheshirekat @BrigadierSlog “Outcry†isn’t the only variable. Suspending live exports had no electoral risk. Easy to do.
@BrigadierSlog @the_cheshirekat Fair point. The weekend then. Either way, I reckon Kehazaei’s story will have far more coverage by the end.
@BrigadierSlog @the_cheshirekat In the same way, people forget the huge blip around Kehazaei’s death, and think only that nothing changed.
@BrigadierSlog @the_cheshirekat I understand the point. I reckon the data doesn’t assert the claim. Today’s blip will be forgotten tomorrow.

@IRStrutt Oh yes.
@cathywilcox1 Doesn’t that put you in danger of becoming a hipster?
@rashasman Maybe I’ll do a sepia version for posting later then.
@jturner_ibrs Tempting. But I’ve found a quiet corner with 240V at the Palace Hotel in Haymarket, so I may stay here.
Oh, that photo is very much blurry. Sorry. I need a new phone. And a new camera.
