RT @NewtonMark: @stilgherrian Vote tomorrow, then tune the rest of it out. [I think I may do just that. Or Tuesday, when I’m in Sydney.]
RT @thedippaeffect: @stilgherrian That’s like saying “this tequila is going to get me drunkâ€. [Point taken.]
I’m going to get so annoyed with this week’s NSW election news, aren’t I.
There’s not a lot of Sunday left, really.
@erkpod No, no #purpletrain for me today. Though I did briefly have a #greentrain earlier, when I went shopping.
@juhasaarinen I thought I was already doing that?
@SnarkyPlatypus @kcarruthers Yeah I don’t think Wahroonga is on my short list somehow.
@JonoH I’ve no idea, I haven’t looked.
@SnarkyPlatypus @BundyB Oh there could be a dozen species of critters out there right now and I’d never know.
Oh well, it looks like I’ll have to significantly increase my income before I can move anywhere in Sydney.
@SnarkyPlatypus @BundyB Did you see that a new species of antechinus was discovered recently?
@MadScotty Well, it’d be crazy to buy when prices are so high.
@staticsan Well I haven’t been looking at prices up here. I don’t pay rent here@bunjareearee, but provide alleged minor services.
@vealmince @kcarruthers “Abstract impressionism� That was all part of a CIA operation.
I’ve just been looking at Sydney rental prices for the first time in ages. They’re… insane.
@BundyB @SnarkyPlatypus Yeah maybe there’s some mutant antechinus up there. I live in fear.
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: Antechinus? [It sounds bigger than an antechinus. It might be a possum.]
There is the sound of some sort of animal trying to dismantle the ceiling.
I’ll be at the Rewind / Fast Forward conference on Wednesday, should anyone carerewindfastforward.com.au/2015/program/XV
@kcarruthers Well I have based my life around it.
@kcarruthers Oh dear. You make it sound like I’m obsessed.
@kcarruthers No, certain people of our mutual acquaintance were talking about the Poles. For some reason.
I’m not sure what the Poles have got to do with it.
Monday I’m doing most of the work on an episode of “The 9pm Edictâ€, posting Tuesday. Wondering how much NSW election to include.
Pondering the busy week ahead, at least until Thursday.
@NuclearAnthro Yes, I think this is an excellent idea.
@Get_Shortened @SBS It’s certainly painting her as an astounding figure.
Look, be honest. Who amongst us hasn’t wanted to nuke Denmark at one time or another?
@Wyld @kcarruthers It’s all about pissing out the thought bubbles.
RT @kcarruthers: Is a soda stream good value? [Yes, should make an excellent Prime Minister.]
@PitcherJenna Ah that’d be right@juhasaarinenen seems to have dedicated half his life to causing me grief.
At 1730, @SBS has a doco on a brilliant woman, “Nancy Wake: Gestapo’s Most Wantedâ€en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Wake9u
@SnarkyPlatypus Yeah I don’t think she’s quite got the hang of it there.
@SnarkyPlatypus You completely fail at Middle Class.
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: Why can’t there be a spell to clean one’s bathroom. [They’re called “cleanersâ€.]
Oh look what I found. I believe this is @PitcherJenna’s work. From 2012pic.twitter.com/Rx7T9vMIA1A1
@kcarruthers @purserj You can away steely me any time.
RT @semibogan: Everything is a fucking opinion piece. [Well that’s your opinion…]
@kcarruthers @purserj What you need is a Samsung SGR-1. https://t.co/Ww9mPR363w
Both @SydneyTom_ and @k_morrissey have just had disturbing thoughts.
Stallman in Stallman being an arsehat shock.
@JanJoostBouwman The latter. I was just doing the shopping in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, where it’s a dull, rainy day.
@JanJoostBouwman I do, but it was not conveniently to hand.
@oberonsghost That is indeed quite dreadful.
Being pleuted upon. Merde.
@jeamland No we shouldn’t. I have nowhere to put such things.
#greentrain again, briefly.
Disappointingly, a #greentrain, briefly.
RT @glengyron I just ate Masala Dosa so nothing phases me. #Yum [Not even the knowledge that the spelling is “fazes”?]
@BundyB @kcarruthers Clearly we need to add more spikes to more things.
RT @kcarruthers: Really we should do more wishing of peace to each other here on Twitter [With baseball bats with added spikes.]
@christopherneal @latingle There’s only one way to find out.
Sun plan: A little blogging (done); a little paperwork (mostly done); Sunday lunch, Katoomba; shopping; a few chores; quiet evening.
@christopherneal @latingle Maybe if we just set fire to everything. Maybe that would help.
Finally reading @latingle’s “Being governed by fools is not funnyâ€. It’s scathing. http://t.co/XmfwFTNyxG
@GowerGelid @warisboring Yes. The RAAF F-35A is essentially the same as the one for the USAF. I presume some minor differences in avionics.
Me at @zdnetaustralia Wed: “Australia’s data-retention debate hits Derpcon Zeroâ€, written before the bill passed. http://t.co/fs6z9QyEBI

The next episode of “The 9pm Edict†will (mostly) be recorded on Monday, and will be wrapped up and posted on Tuesday.
@SnarkyPlatypus Not really. It just helps compensate for the usual summer revenue shortfall in Jan-Feb. The wine budget is still dismal.
Well I’m rather pleased with this recent little burst of one-off contributions. Thank you, folkspic.twitter.com/jh81ofjZ9898
Sun plan, draft: A little blogging; a little paperwork; Sunday lunch, Katoomba; shopping; a few chores; quiet evening.
@NicholasFryer Yes, urinary tract infections should generally be kept personal.
Sunday. That slow, regular dripping noise is the sound of your dignity dribbling away. Sunday.
