The Australian government playing Hearts of Iron 2025, sees the Welcome American refugees button, +5% research speed, their mouse hovers… -1% stability… they click on coal mine subsidies instead.

Suddenly “eSafety” doesn’t seem quite so important to the government.

I'm just a boy, standing in front of fldigi, wondering what led me to this windows 95 hell in 2025.

Save the settings. Ok. Restart... where'd the settings go? Can you see the radio? Yes. Change the frequency. On what radio? Arghhhhhhh...

Disappointed the Snopes account didn’t turn out to be a fake. That’d be funnier.

The (all too predictable) banning of DeepSeek begins. (As predicted.)

Dutton will mention it here as yet another thing Albo’s weak about. Albo will dither about waiting for advice from our security officials. Three different ministers will say at least three different things. After a few days of looking weak the official advice will be magicked up & poof, banned on official devices. The caravan will roll on to the next thing.

Was going to say Victorian fires & slipped. But it’s more on brand this way.

Is there a pool going yet on how long until DeepSeek’s banned?

“Trump also spoke to the Danish prime minister… last week in which he insisted he was serious in his determination to take over Greenland

…a call that was described as “fiery”

…The conversation between the two went very badly, the officials said…”

Package is in Singapore.

I could pop over & get it. Get some noodles on the way. No-one would mind. A short trip.

My new QSL card!

Inspired by Dieter Rams' RT20 radio, but a few steps starker than that. White instead of cream, the red frequency indicator but no soft green buttons. I was trying for the minimum number of lines that still suggested a radio, while still having the info I wanted on there.

Haven't done a back. The cost of postage means this would likely only ever be emailed, but you never know. I used metric A6 dimensions in case I ever afford to print & post it.

I used to go to YouTube to look at upcoming movie trailers, but half of what’s on there now’s fake.

I went looking to see if there’s ever going to be a final part of Stranger Things & the trailer I found there’s so bad it could be real or fake, I can’t even tell.

Well done to the AI shysters. One more simple pleasure gone.

Ali express is offering me MAGA red caps (now only Aus$1.62!)

Came up looking at radios, which is both totally unsurprising & depressing at the same time.
