@violetblue Visiting AU while you're over this way?

Great news: Max cat and Sam cat have landed safely. I got an email from their quarantine caretaker and the whisker duo are now settling into a shared cattery space at the quarantine facility. PHEW.

@T1SydneyTrains It's now 3 hours later and everyone heading home from the Rugby match tonight are finding many the trains on the north shore are cancelled. Surely the emergency was cleared hours ago?

#NorthShoreLine Allow extra travel time due to an incident requiring emergency services at Town Hall. Trains may stop on platforms or between stations for longer than normal while the incident is ongoing. For service updates, check transport apps and listen to announcements.

@T1SydneyTrains Stuck at Woolstonecraft - how long till we can get moving?

⚠️ #NorthShoreLine & #WesternLine allow extra travel time due to animals in the rail corridor. Stops may change at short notice. Please listen for announcements and check information screens before getting on trains. Please allow extra travel time.

@POTUS So why doesn't it?

Our economy should be one that helps to fill up kitchen cabinets, not the pockets of the ultra-wealthy.

@violetblue Huntsman spiders (Cane spiders) make great pets. We name them all Neil as it saves confusion. Had one run across my face once while I was sleeping. He didn't mean to wake me. Cute little buggers.

We are safe in a hotel now (thank you everyone who is helping!) and please enjoy these resilient travel cats already asking for room service 😂

@HoneyBadger3743 @EM_RESUS How about old age...

@EM_RESUS @charlesarthur I have you tweeting this at the same time I have Obama tweeting that guns are the leading cause of death in kids, and all I want to know is, in a perfect world, what would you prefer the leading cause of death for kids is? If deaths are >1 it has to be something.

Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young girl suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S. What’s the diagnosis?

@ForTexasHoujami @POTUS Then prove him wrong. What is the real number, and where is your evidence? Don't respond with hearsay - respond with facts.

@POTUS Mr President, You're MISLEADING and Not telling the Correct numbers 😆

If you live in a major city, you can pay more than $17,000 a year per child for child care. For many families, that’s more than you pay for a mortgage or a college education. It’s overwhelming. That’s why today I'm signing an Executive Order to make child care more affordable.

Attending #ACS #ThinkTank talking about information security. Very interesting!

@violetblue I'm sorry, I missed that - your president said what?

Images from today's #MillionsMissing #LongCovid protests and civil disobedience in Washington DC calling out the President's statement that "the pandemic is over."

@T1SydneyTrains Why is there no resilience? How can a single signalling fault takes out a critical segment of the rail network?

⚠ #NorthShoreLine Trains heading towards Central are running late due to urgent signal repairs at Milsons Point. Please allow extra travel time.

@cantrell Does this mean more books? I really hope so!

I'm hiring for the best job in the world: Mine! After 20 years at Adobe, I've decided to pursue my own creative passions, but I would love to hire my replacement. adobe.design/jobs/job-posts…

@mdmcholet What the f... I swear the USA seems to be getting weirder every day.

Heartbreaking

@jonoxer Add in one or two of these and you’ve got your self a good room for a bargain. philips.com.au/c-p/DE5205_70/…

Behold the $112 cleanroom!

@dontattempt Loved the SMH article. "Next" is easy. If I catch the "next train" would I let one go by? I don't think so. Weekends are the same.

The entire east coast of Australia is under immediate threat from blackouts due to dangerously low reserves of electricity. Queenslanders are tonight being asked to conserve power, by turning off their appliances and New South Wales is next. @CUhlmann #9News

@mariehjohnson Welcome to the new world. People will have their expectations constantly reset as technology flows through our daily lives.

@22JMW @SandraRPearce1 Same here

@SandraRPearce1 This just came up on my Twitter feed. I’m not familiar with you, but I couldn’t just scroll past. I’m so very sorry. Please know there is someone here,unknown to you, who is sending heartfelt condolences and love.

Friends, my daughter died today. We are not supposed to bury our children.

@mariehjohnson @billshortenmp @criprights When I first started in IT, decades ago, the effort to produce "expert systems" mainly revealed that it's very difficult to build a system that replaces an expert. Seems we haven't learnt that lesson yet. Use algorithms to assist humans in making decisions, not to replace them.

The Hunger Games created by #NDIS #Algorithms #Algorithms unleashed as roboplanning. ‘Do no harm’ is not possible. Access to justice is affected. Think this just affects folks on #NDIS? You’re in for a shock. #DefendOurNDIS @billshortenmp @criprights innovationaus.com/the-hunger-gam…

@CheriJacobus I thought America prided itself on being "the land of freedom"? What's happening over there?

Holy sh**
