How am I supposed to drive five hours on an Ice Break
I’m sitting in row three - the last row - of business class on this flight from Canberra to Brisbane after being upgraded overnight and the Queensland Premier just walked past me to economy.

Cute. On the news that the leap second is being removed, Rev. Pavel Gabor, an astrophysicist and the vice director of the Vatican Observatory Research Group in Tucson, Arizona said that,
“atomic timekeeping was just one example of how the world was becoming incomprehensible to the average person, and that scientists had a responsibility to help people feel in control of their lives.”
And he went on to say,
“I think sensitivity to this mistrust of elites, mistrust of experts, mistrust of science and institutions, that’s something that’s a very real problem in today’s world,” he said. “And let’s not contribute to it.”
I’m so looking forward to the world returning to normalcy and peace in 2035 when the leap second is removed.

I don’t think Trump will even make it to the Republican Nomination for President, let alone the actual Presidency. The Trump voter hates losers more than lefties and abortions.
I’ve been talking about switching social networks for a decade now …
Having my first experience of Live Activities on the latest iOS software. The app that is “live” is Flighty, and I really like this. The only negative is that 4G/3G/wifi is terrible here.

Experiencing the weirdest vibe right now. I’m packing to leave home for a month, and the place I’m travelling to is Australia. I never thought Australia would be somewhere I travel to, only from.
