I couldn't imagine the ignominy of being a law-enforcement employee who spends years investigating a felon only to have the felon become your boss and fires you.

Just did 8 hours work so that my 4 x 3.30am-11am next week doesn't prevent me from getting all the other work done I need to get done next week. So, how was your Saturday?

It's no surprise Peter Dutton is channeling Trump with all the attacks on DEI initiatives.

I may just have to temporarily re-sign up to Stan to watch Black Snow. Love Travis Fimmel's acting, and the trailer looks amazing.

Definitely getting the hang of raindrop.io as a bookmark manager. The UX is much better than Pocket – way less clunky. Can see myself going for a paid subscription.
