  • The amount of shit Leigh Sales cops for being a Liberal Party stooge is only equaled by the amount of shit she cops for being a Labor stooge. A journo has to be pretty good at their job to piss off everyone.

  • I keep reading the milk crate challenge uses 30 milk crates. This bothers me because THIRTY IS NOT A TRIANGULAR NUMBER.

  • One of the great things about my job is getting to work with both @jrf_nl and @hellofromTonya. Waking up to a code review request from one or the other is guaranteed to put me in a good mood for the day.

  • I’m quite enjoying journalists enjoying throwing around the phrase shitty choices with gay abandon while they can.

  • Stop @capitalp_dangit, just stop.

    The WordPress ecosystem’s obsession with case is one of the ugliest things about it. It’s unhelpful and unwelcoming and simply needs to stop.

  • The greatest compliment I have received in a professional setting is that I swear like a journalist. I should add this to my LinkedIn.

  • How newsreaders and reporters manage to avoid swearing when announcing shitty lockdowns are extended is a true sign of their professionalism/the Valium kicking in. Lockdowns are no less shitty for their necessity.

  • Weeks later this article still pisses me off. I know it’s meant to be light hearted but read the room, mate. https://www.theage.com.au/national/nsw/we-re-sorry-we-looked-down-on-you-victoria-see-you-on-the-other-side-of-lockdown-20210709-p588d8.html

  • I haven’t even finished the mixed dozen I ordered at the start of the last lockdown.

  • Odd that Australia Post never sends me satisfaction surveys when the contractor dumps the card in the letterbox without ringing the bell. You’d almost think someone was trying to rig the results.

    Cranky Peter is cranky.
