My choice of trusted media outlets means that I usually find the outrage-provoking headlines here. While I understand the human impulse to share the sort of stuff that raises one&#39;s blood pressure, I&#39;d like people to think twice about posting it. Agitprop is a terrible thing, even on the side of the angels. 2025-12-02T17:43:34Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspf58sun4u78qjygwtrwu6w4ck0evr4zayshdmkknnhclam9870sgzyrjd08uxx9mzpv3j6rhmly9dwf9ffamgnsthm5za3q72cptfg822uswat87 9:30am. Oh no. I&#39;ve just stumbled across a post with a news item that could have been specially curated to give me the absolute screaming shits. I don&#39;t want to do that. I want a calm day.

Australia Post delivered a thing, on a Sunday, and the delivery bloke - the usual one - rang my doorbell! He got right into it. Almost a jazz solo on the clangy brass bell. All it took was waiting most of a year, repeated complaints to Auspost, and a grumpy lecture to the delivery bloke a few months back, but he finally understood how to use a bell. 2025-11-30T19:53:30Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqvmpenu40magmlrwlr2qz3ass9p9cjn603ykxlpj9fjyygxp5ypczyrjd08uxx9mzpv3j6rhmly9dwf9ffamgnsthm5za3q72cptfg822uayc0h8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8h9tg653n4njyxzeqcykrxk6jwdhqhrx4dv74zhnusm3d3qr9wxqjl64km'>nevent1q…64km</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>There are a few things that make me want to run away screaming.

Opened a bottle of fizzy sugarless caffeine at the bus stop. Drew a Pavlovian respone from the shabby bloke in a shabby suit who was already there. He perked up at the hissing sound but lost interest almost immediately when he saw what it was. He was drinking Heineken. There&#39;s a novella lurking here.

The perfect day for a pissweak adventure. I&#39;ll pick up a few things in town before I head to The Good Supermarket. Perversely, this means catching a later bus than usual. How to fill in the time?

Remove from heat and leave to reconstitute while you go into town and back.<br/><br/>Once home again, chop up the three or four rashers of bacon you found in the freezer and fry them in just enough olive oil to get them started. Add in the bunches of asparagus (currently $1.50 each, have fun) that have been in the crisper since last Thursday week. Push it all around in the pan until the spears get slightly wilty and no more. Remove from heat.<br/><br/>While doing that, you&#39;ve reheated yesterday&#39;s basmati rice in the wet tomato shards. Dollop rice onto a plate or bowl or whatever, put asparagus and bacon on top, dust with parmesan, or maybe it&#39;s grana padano, I can&#39;t remember, it doesn&#39;t matter at all.<br/><br/>Eat. 2025-11-24T01:12:29Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8403q5v4x7uz6wpnn3vca626awg7ardacsxyenv020sc9t9ranzczyrjd08uxx9mzpv3j6rhmly9dwf9ffamgnsthm5za3q72cptfg822udsmh4d Happy Bin Day, if that&#39;s as relevant to your life as it is to mine. 2025-11-23T20:34:53Z
