With ers Without You

One month ago, on the 28th of February we enjoyed 268mm of rain and our pool and lawn met for the first time.

Today’s brought 168mm so far, enough to bring the lawn and pool back together again.

That’s after I released about 4000L onto the lawn earlier today.

It wet.

Free business idea: software that monitors your email and to-do list and tells a stranger to call you when you get through all your emails and tasks - like, just doing your job - to let you know they’re proud of you.

Hearing about Chris Rock and his mate today reminded me to watch Bel Air, the modern remake of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It pushes The Batman way down the list in the gritty remake championships.

There was a really well known wedding photographer who was talking to Britt about shooting for The Elopement Collective, and on the phone to her (my wife) he told her that he hopes she fails in business along with some other rude things.

Not long after that phone call there was a dress up wedding industry Halloween party that I knew he would be going to, so I attended in the hopes of confronting him at the event, possibly even punching him.

The good news for all is that not only do I not really punch people, but on arrival to the event I realised how stupid it would be to publicly assault someone to defend my wife’s honour.

He is still a douche - always will be - and my wife is always worth protecting, defending, fighting for. But assaulting him isn’t the answer.

Instead we send him glitter in the mail every now and then. Plus when people want to hire him I tell them how mean and horrible he is and he doesn’t get the booking.

What Chris Rock said was horrible. What Will Smith did was worse.

“Cinematic drone, standard. Polestar O₂ doesn’t just elevate the driving experience. It also allows you to record it. Housed in the rear is a cinematic drone that can lift off and land while the car is in motion. It operates autonomously, allowing the driver to select atmospheric or action-filled sequences. When the O₂ is parked, videos can be edited and shared directly from the centre display. Deploy the drone. Document the drive. And capture the fun of premium electric performance.”

The most unforgiving part of password parenting is needing to take your passwords to the gym so the other passwords don’t bully it for being weak.

That, plus the brutal murder you have to commit when someone else sees your offspring and you must change it.

Against Right Liberalism, Adrian Vermeule:

“The old right liberalism finds itself short on fresh ideas but very long on donors, dollars, second-tier publications, and institutional control.”

A tourist is driving on the wrong side of the road on the Gold Coast Highway. It’s so beautiful now that the international borders are open again, nature is healing.

100% Bruce Wayne was influenced by “Son, when you grow up, would you be, the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?” in 2006 when My Chemical Romance dropped the The Black Parade and he was about 14 and decided to become the Batman we’re seeing in cinemas today.

In light of the Hillsong news getting around, I’ve been reading Beyond Belief: How Pentecostal Christianity Is Taking Over the World by Elle Hardy on Pentecostal faith:

“A powerful and globally connected religious movement, its resurgence in the twenty-first century also represents a crisis of spirituality in today’s world—one founded on consumption and individualism that replicates the social and political chaos of our time.”
