Hi! My name is Josh, this me blog.
The dance of pleasing the social media algorithims of the world’s biggest companies, whilst being beat to death by strangers with their comments displeased me so now I’m here.
I wish I were the kind of person who could just live without broadcasting. But there’s an animal inside me — right down in the marrow — that keeps asking ‘can you see me?’ and silence has never once soothed it.
I just watched a retail worker wash her plastic gloved hands with hand sanitiser. Curve flattened!

For the first time in many years I took what I thought was common advice and wisdom and I've started using Mail.app on MacOS (Big Sur on Apple Silicon MBA). Three email accounts, one with 170,000 odd emails, another with 40,000 odd, and another with about 1000 emails. Mail.app is barely useable, so slow and it takes minutes to refresh when I change mailbox. Is this just Mail.app now or am I doing it wrong? Googling isn't helping as there are so many bland articles on speeding up Mail.app. I've rebuilt the mailboxes, and I've even done the deleting index thing. Any ideas?
Your stripper name is the first 16 digits of your credit card number, then the month the card expires, and then the year, and then the three digits on the back lol.

We decided to sell our Covid-escape-beach-unit in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast. If you’re currently looking to escape to a beachside apartment, I highly recommend it.
Why is it called a wedding tax when wedding vendors decide to not undercut each other, and instead focus on being profitable and sustainable?
Why are people in small businesses so afraid of making an profit, having a day off or even a holiday? Why is sustainability and profit demonised in our society?
Wedding planning pro tip: Choose a wedding vendor team, then a date, instead of spending your whole life trying to find a team available on your date.
If you inserted a MYST CD-ROM into your computer sometime in the early 90's and found yourself entrenched in the wonder that was MYST, then this Soundcloud is going to do something to your nostalgia.
John Mulaney getting getting divorced is the kind of celebrity news that makes me want to take the week off and empty some ice cream tubs whilst crying.

Don't forget that we're all competing in a game where if we hit the right keys on the keyboard in the right order at the right time we win money and get donuts.
The worst thing about having an AirTag in your luggage is that instead of guessing that your luggage is about to come out, it removes any doubt that it isn’t.

If you’ve ever wondered how weird you are, if you don’t eat the deceased at their own funeral, you’re not that weird.

Who would’ve ever imagined that the BBQ-lovin Covid guy was actually trying to buy the whole chain of Barbecue’s Galore stores!?
Just say that after the traumatic 14 months behind us, we were considering selling everything and travelling Australia in a caravan with a toddler and newborn and you had prescient advice, what exactly would that advice be?
An old friend of mine from like 20 years ago has released an album and I found out because someone had a typo in their email address which landed the newsletter intended for Paul Withers' into my old Hotmail. Serendipity 2.0?
I’m dying of dystentery over this announcement.
Photos from inside my house identify as photos taken at houses down the street, from a GPS angle I understand this, but my iPhone knows my home address, and the wifi SSID I’m connected to overnight every night, surely we could bring that data together and say “if he’s on this wifi SSID, and GPS is weak or non-existent, maybe the actual photo and AirTag location is ‘home’”?
I am going to move my personal/non-wedding email account away from Hey. I don’t want to go back to GMail for privacy reasons, no to Outlook because of UX, and I don’t want to go back to Fastmail because it feels like the 90s over there. Any recommendations?

I’m sitting opposite a person in the Qantas Lounge who is eating so violently. Like she’s abusing her mouth with her fork of food. I can’t help but watch and I wish you could all experience this passive aggressive treatment of a cake hole.

Name a more important Australian institution than the Great Regional Aussie Pub. Where would these acts play if not for the local?
You probably don't know this about me, but the main reason I'm a happily married man and wedding celebrant, and not a professional footballer is so I don't have to explain consensual threesomes to judges

“I’m studying to become a lawyer for my friend’s upcoming court case” said no-one ever.
So apart from “because Joey from Friends did it” why are people spending thousands of dollars and more than a year of their life becoming a celebrant instead of hiring a professional?
