I agree, it is time for a nap
Oreo agrees 👍
Awwwwww man I love the facepaw, every time I see a kitty do it my heart melts. So cute.
Naaaaaaw
She reminds me so much of one of my long departed buzz slugs. 🖤
Good idea Gibson!
If Pilk is reading just want to send him some love and hugs.
🥹 Thank you
I bought 3 big sacks of dry cat food yesterday but since I can’t lift heavy objects they haven’t been put away.
Bill and Ted have been guarding the sacks all night. 😺
They didn’t gnaw their way in?
too lazy
Oh my god go to sleep child. I love you, but go to f’ing sleep!
Someone called me “responsible” today. Rude….
FF 7 Rebirth disc is in and installing/updating. PS5 ran out of space so I nuked a couple of my games for her. Should have a very impressed wife this evening.
Ah that’s true love!
I’m hoping we can get the last game in the not too distant future to finish it off.
Hope you have a lot of fun with it.
I need to wait to get it because I’m picking up Unicorn Overlord next week
Bad case of the CBF’s today. I think I might “not be feeling well” and take the rest of the day off.
You deserve it
Aaaand I’m done. Wasn’t as taxing as I expected! Still pretty warm out too. Gonna be a nice scoot home.
Hmmm, so Police can’t march in the pride parade but they are expected to show up to maintain law and order. Interesting.
The parade board uninvited the police, who usually march in their uniforms, because it was deemed to be insensitive following the murder of a gay couple by one of their colleagues (with a police issue revolver no less). Individuals who happen to be police were still allowed to march just like anyone else. Now an agreement has been reached that police can be in the parade as a representative group, but in plain clothes.
As for the police that are maintaining law and order, that’s their job, as it is for any large scale public event.
There’s questions to be answered about the gun situation but I do think it’s heavy handed to un-invite the police as a group in the way that they have. After all they didn’t instruct or condone it. In this situation someone killed someone that just happened to be employed by Police, it wasn’t a Policeman acting as Police who killed. And the guy is obviously not all there. Sounds like he would have killed anyway through some other method eventually.
Would they uninvite Qantas as a corporate sponsor if one of their employees murdered someone? What about Optus, or Coles?
Personally I don’t care for virtue signalling, which is what it looks like when Police march. But then again there’s virtue signalling all around. Those big corporate sponsors would drop Pride faster than you could blink if it seriously hurt their financial bottom line.

But isn’t it just as triggering to have police in uniform maintaining law and order?
( but are people going to be triggered? Who said they will be triggered? What do the families and friends of the victims say? )
Yes I thought the same tbh. If their mere presence repulses them why have them show up at all in their uniform? At face value this seems inconsistent.
The arrogance also bothers me. I read the articles and no where does it say the board consulted family and friends of the victims. The board also assumes the public and family and friends would be triggered and assume they know best how to handle the situation.
Which of the articles you’ve read use the word “triggered”, because none that I’ve read say that. Isn’t it also an assumption to say the families weren’t consulted? None of us know that, but it should be kept in mind that at the time the request for police not to march in uniform, the victims’ bodies had not yet been found which you’d imagine would have amplified the hurt for the families and in the wider community.
I have no skin in this game, the only reason I replied to OP was because I happened to be reading this article about it.
From reading that article, “Pride in Protest” don’t want any police there at all, in uniform or plain clothes. That position at the very least is consistent. But it seems the board are sort of half in and half out by letting them attend in plain clothes, but then the cops are also presumably turning up in uniform to maintain law and order.
You can’t have your cake and eat it is my view. If you want to ban police outright no matter their dress, well ok I think that’s shitty and very hard to police pardon the pun, but as I say it’s consistent. But it seems silly to me to say, we don’t like you and don’t want you to march, but also we are happy take from you something that suits us, and it smacks of hypocrisy.
It feels … punitive. We are going to punish police for what happened. Feels very misguided to me since the alleged killer was acting alone. Some people are upset obviously, but punishing the police force is not going to bring back dead people. And of course it raises the question as to what is the criteria to let police back into the march? Who sets the criteria ? On whose authority? And is the criteria realistic?
Oh piss off with that bait
Hello possums
Hello and good day to you too.
Slept well, got up to the alarm easy, not too hot for my run - doggo was good company - new PB. Felt pretty good Side note - if i was to compete against the 4 minute mile record holder, they would beat me by almost exactly 4 minutes.
I’m going out to the Bendigo Hotel Saturday night. Am in desperate need of drunk convos with random people lol
Sorry, booked for Syd Rd Fest next day. Too old to double 😜
Oooo free music for me!
Oh shit thanks for the reminder! Been ages since I’ve been.
Do you mean people you know, or you go alone and talk to strangers?
Go alone and talk to strangers. Its great fun if you’re self aware.
I hate traffic. Spent way too much time waiting to get onto the Ring Road this morning, then way too much time waiting to get off it this afternoon. It’s been a long day in general with way too much driving for my tastes, so I’m glad to be home on the couch now.
I know it’s not super popular these days, but the crypto space is back in its “exciting enough to keep people awake watching charts” phase. It has been quite a while since it was going as hard as it is at the moment and my modest portfolio is doing quite well.
This means the market will likely die in the arse tomorrow or Friday because that’s just how it goes. I’d love to live in fantasy land where it just keeps going like it has been and I end up buying a house in cash but the world just isn’t good to me like that.
Yeh ive been watching my portfolio slowly climb over the last couple months. Lets see if i actually attempt to sell off somewhere near the top this time or if i just keep everything and watch it drop down to barely anything again :P
