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.

The first issue a Josh Withers presidency will address is this crap with health balls looking like rum balls. These two things need to be kept separate and sacred.

When John McCain lost the presidential election to Barack Obama, he made this humble speech. Humility is an attractive element of any person, especially a leader.

Netflix staffer: so, it’s like Netflix, but you don’t get to choose what you watch, it just shows up automatically.
Netflix execs: wow
Rest of humanity: are you just describing TV?

"Social media encourages the myth that who we are is defined by the opinions we type. But the older I get, the less interested I am in how well people can script their beliefs in front of a computer and the more interested I am in how tenaciously they go about grinding out their moral existence. I’m impressed when someone can get up every single day, determined to be a better human being than he or she was yesterday. Typing out what we “stand for” is easy. But loving well isn’t. I am not down on typing out our opinions—clearly. I’m only down on thinking that typing in and of itself constitutes an ethical life. May we stop thinking that becoming the kind of person we want to be is as easy as typing “me too” at those we agree with and “stupid people” at those we don’t. That’s a distraction from the real work of being human. And I’m ready to work."

Trying to run a non-local business in 2020 = early grave, silver hair, deep familiarity with how Australian governance works, looking forward to a future of never hearing the words Annastacia Palaszczuk again, regrettable subscription to the Courier Mail.

As a wedding celebrant, this is my 2020 email template:
Hi! We start the email with factual text that sucks because COVID is ruining more wedding plans. But then conclude with a sentence ending with an exclamation mark & a smiley face so we still seem like nice people! :)

When Australia elects me as its president, the first item on my agenda will be outlawing the use of the term “The Coast” in regards to anything else but the Gold Coast.
No other coasts will be “The Coast”.
Vote 1 me.

US news today via #thesizzle & I thought it was interesting to read that the use of a risk algorithim to determine bail was rejected. This issue was covered in Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Talking To Strangers, and overwhelmingly the algorithim made better decisions than people.

Six years ago, on this day in 2014, I saw the most and best American thing outside the White House, with my own eyes. Nothing that happens in America today will trump this performance.

When Fox News references problems with Mainstream Media you know the phrase, and the conversation, is broken. Fox is MSM. They are part of the problem.

”A crisis doesn’t have to be a negative event. A wedding is a crisis–one ceremony, one day, over and done. All eyes, all attention, all on this moment. That’s why we do it–even though the chronic condition of the marriage itself is always more important.”

It's that time of year agin for me to be that wet paper bag of a man I am and say that Melbourne Cup, horse racing, gambling, and the entire culture in Australia that supports and celebrates the three is embarrassing and sad.
Please continue eating your roast chicken and drinking your wine knowing that I like wine and chicken, but don't like what gambling or horse racing does.

Nerding out on putting a MagSafe case on an iPhone 12. It’s a peach case and obviously that’s communicated to the phone so it does this cool animation.

Going through old files and I found a 2009 iPhone 3GS rumour mock-up and I thought it would be interesting to see it next to an iPhone 12 rumour infographic

I don't like to get political on here, but how have we let butterflies be called butterflies for so long when they have nothing to do with butter, it's just an amalgamation of flutterby and buttorfleoge and boterflye.

I wanted to see how much the iPhone camera had changed between the iPhone 6 and iPhone 12, so I took the same nine photos with four different iPhones, and blogged the results

This really good report from El Pais not only tells you how coronavirus spreads through the air, but thanks to ther interwebs and computers, it shows you. This is a really good and informing read.
