- Reposted by Fletcher Thompson (🔬+🐝)Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files. It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.
- Listen to this and weep with joy you godless heathens. ‘Conversations’ followed by ‘Reanimation’ is about as close to a religious experience as I think I may ever get. music.apple.com/ie/album/in-...
- “You there, boy, what day is it?!” “Why, it’s ‘Voolsmas, sir!” “Hurry boy, run around the corner and buy every copy of In Verses from your local record shop!!” *flings credit card in joyous abandon* So keen to listen, got my headphones charged and cosy chair at the ready. Thanks #karnivool.

- Reposted by Fletcher Thompson (🔬+🐝)unbelievably grim to see Valve announce a delightful and exciting compact Linux box approximately 15 seconds before RAM became the more expensive material in the known universe.
- Valve’s Steam Machine has been delayed, and the RAM crisis will impact pricing. Valve is now aiming to launch its Steam Machine in the first half of 2026, rather than early 2026. How much will it cost, though? www.theverge.com/games/874196...

- While I’d still prefer that we change the date, in the meantime: Happy Australia Day to Aussies far and wide.
- I’ve long since aged out of musical relevance, so this is just a fluff in the wind, but the top end of this #Hottest100 is all feeling a bit Easy Listening. Like, it’s nice. I don’t mind it. Could go for a nap.
- FFS. New iPhone (yay!) -> once again asked my preferred browser, choose safari (eh, whatever) -> sync enables and overwrites my profiles and tab groups on other devices with new, blank phone. Thanks EU, really glad I had to tell you for the 50th time that I use and want to use safari. Cool.

- Back home for a visit for one more week and contending with juggling friend visits, trying to do new and interesting things my partner hasn’t done, relax, sort out mum’s birthday and… contending with the complexity of ripping many ISOs of 90’s era dual format CD-ROMs. I think I might drop the last.

- Back in Australia, sitting on the back deck of my sister’s place at 5:30 AM listening to the dawn chorus and cicadas to deal with the jet lag and I couldn’t be happier. Merry Christmas, may you all get to spend enough time with family and friends in the year to come.

- Netanyahu can absolutely go and get fucked. Or, y’know, go to The Hague. For all the war crimes.
- Israel’s PM Netanyahu heralded Ahmed al-Ahmed for showing “Jewish heroism” before learning the Bondi Beach “hero” is Muslim. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/th4zuo
