@0xAli Oh! You’re probably right.
RT @swearyanthony: uber’s business model isn’t that original worksite.econ.usyd.edu.au/fairwear.html [Well indeed.]

RT @SwiftOnSecurity: We should start telling people they need to have mineral rights to mine Bitcoin. [We should. Good idea.]
@SnarkyPlatypus That sounds about right.
I wonder whether Startuplanderas who claim to be building the “The Uber of <X>†realise that many of us hear that as “The Arseholes of <X>â€.
“Uber and Its Shady Partners Are Pushing Drivers into Subprime Loans.†Of course they are. http://t.co/UW875cfwEy HT @NGruen1
@AB_Mycroft @amworldtodaypm Well, supply demand etc. And I agree with @riskybusiness, it’s very early days in this arena.
@0xAli True. But in combat zones, things get smashed up. Depleted uranium shot causes enough lingering problems. This could be “funâ€. :/
@paulwallbank What the fuck is a “Bohemian fascist� Who is this arsehat?

@SnarkyPlatypus @rpy All time are wondrous times, actually.
@rpy Well that’s pretty important stuff. I hope you added a digit. Because if you didn’t, I can’t talk to you any more.
@xntrik “Cautiouslyâ€, I suspect.
@rpy “Including 8 hours free internet access†is a bit special.
@kcarruthers He is so screwed.
@SnarkyPlatypus @MarkDiStef That’s a bit cruel. BuzzFeed does some fine original journalism these days.

@NickBryantNY The pleasure is all mine, Nick.
@riskybusiness @matthew_d_green That’s the noted Australian trait of understatement, right?
@MarkDiStef @SnarkyPlatypus Actually you’re right. It’s the PowerPoint of job applications. Oh. I feel sick now.
@hughstephens @SnarkyPlatypus That’s cool. I know a guy at the FBI who can make that happen. No wait. Maybe I don’t want that.
@MarkDiStef @SnarkyPlatypus Yes, you did. For a job at BuzzFeed. [Thwap!] I don’t think that counts.
@Omshadiddle @SatPaper Why thank you.
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: *ponders structuring CV like a Buzzfeed list* [Do it.]

@mccarroll573 Indeed, Australia’s median illegal immigrant is a 26yo Irish male. That’s perhaps not what you mean. Oh well.
@SnarkyPlatypus That’d make a great splash screen for my website.
RT @JZdziarski: DOXBIN has been seized. pic.twitter.com/5edDdwcWRE [Add it to the list…]
@kcarruthers @Epigrammist @SatPaper I saw that story here. http://t.co/jZtTSwn8Ov That reminds me to get the full paper from JSTOR.
@mccarroll573 Given that I’m in the Australian context, it isn’t as sharp. As far as I know, Australians never served in Norther Ireland.
@juhasaarinen Worst. Dinner. Party. Ever.
@Epigrammist @kcarruthers @SatPaper Indeed. I just re-read it. There’s really quit a disturbing mindset in there.
@Epigrammist @kcarruthers @SatPaper Maybe. Maybe not.
Edna_Jans Based on the rate of sagging pants, it is predicted that by 2017, people will just pull their pants behind them with a rope.
@kcarruthers @SatPaper Ta. I suspect most women would agree with the sentiment, if perhaps not with the way it’s expressed.
@feed_the_chooks @SnarkyPlatypus As I’ve noted before, “A cunt or two cuts through.” https://t.co/d3fPLNAJT9
@kcarruthers You may therefore appreciate my comments on men in today’s @SatPaper. http://t.co/rDGCX6RD3t
@feed_the_chooks @SnarkyPlatypus Do let me know if you get any complaints. I suspect @SatPaper’s readers aren’t too delicate though.
@feed_the_chooks @SnarkyPlatypus I agree 100%. I let the first unbleeped f-bomb go live on Adelaide daytime radio back in the late 1980s.
@feed_the_chooks @SnarkyPlatypus It’s not cheating to use the tools provided.
@feed_the_chooks But I was just telling @SnarkyPlatypus that you’re to thank for bringing my words of wisdom to the leafy suburbs. (2/2)
@feed_the_chooks @SnarkyPlatypus Neither’s mine. I use Google Translate, and there’s a translate button in my Twitter client. (1/2)
@clothedvillainy Oh I say, that’s Orwelly good, old chap.
@SnarkyPlatypus Vous pouvez remercier @feed_the_chooks pour amener mes paroles de sagesse de la banlieue verdoyante.
@mccarroll573 And all this is fair. But there doesn’t seem to be a way to show solidarity in another well-recognised way. Dilemma.
I’ve been reading @NickBryantNY’s “The Rise and Fall of Australiaâ€. It’s very good. http://t.co/y3zcMFsM7n

@TwitWhatter @Colvinius @onemorepost It’s called the Moon Illusion, in fact. http://t.co/DxXFGCbxS4
@TwitWhatter @Colvinius @onemorepost Rubbish. It’s a visual illusion. Same effect applies to the Sun. They’re almost the same apparent size.
oberonsghost OH: so where does the ship stop to visit the Grand Canyon?
@Raphaelite_Girl @johnthelutheran Oh, I was thinking we’d found a great new marketing strategy.
@PogonophileMelb @SatPaper Bold, yes, but accurate.
@cheshireb @JulianBurnside True. But to see it presented as reality, the Sun and Moon not even close to the same apparent size, it so funny.

RT @BruceHore: When I build public key infrastructures, I drop the C word all the time. Or did you mean KPI. [Oh. Yeah. @SatPaper]
@R_Chirgwin @Colvinius @onemorepost @PicPedant We sorted that out last night, Richard. Do try to keep up.
@feed_the_chooks He needs to see a doctor?
So, my very first sentence in @SatPaper drops the c-word. That’s gotta be a PKI achieved, or something.
@feed_the_chooks “Cracking yarn,†as the old folks say, Martin.
@feed_the_chooks @glengyron Indeed, it does sum up the situation quite neatly. And that, in a nutshell, is the problem.
In which I seem to have dropped the c-word in @SatPaper, in a piece about aggression to women online. Irony. http://t.co/rDGCX6RD3t
@glengyron @SatPaper Uhoh. I knew that quote would run as soon as I sent it to @feed_the_chooks, because he’s like that.

@dufussy True enough.
@jeffsonstein Is there a “far too many†in this context? Anyway, that’s some food for thought. Cheers.
@jeffsonstein Yes, but they also have multiple people and high volume. Individuals can concentrate one one aspect, e.g. web item from radio.
@jeffsonstein Indeed they are. Yet I’ve been looking at the inefficiencies of having to maintain too many different workflows and topics.

@jeffsonstein That’s an interesting framing, and more strategic than how I was looking at it. I was working bottom-up#notaeuphemismsm
Uhoh. @NewtonMark has discovered the cyber-missile. This will not end well.
@jeffsonstein I really do need to simplify and consolidate the various media things I do. They’re too scattered and unproductive again.
SwiftOnSecurity PGP is the reason we don’t have encrypted email.

There is no PGP email day 3.
@jeffsonstein Indeed. It’ll be fun watching that one play out.
