Today's #TuneOfTheDay is a captivating, hypnotic, and sensuous song by Massive Attack from 2011. It's a collaboration with the lead singer of Mazzy Star.

I can never work out the timing of the song, it doesn't seem like it's 4/4 to me, but I can't work out what time it is. Anyway, it's proof that simplicity can be seductive.

Even though I'm purring in response to the scratchies, I refuse to look at you as it might imply some sort of ongoing relationship.

Further proof public private partnerships don't work, and result in buck passing which can cause death.

What about this quote "Releasing the documents would lead to a “trial by media” and cause “reputational, operational and financial” harm to them, including by damaging their ability to attract clients and staff, they said.".

So killing people is ok, as long as you doesn't hurt a business?

Called the car emergency road repair company and told them I had a flat battery and needed assistance.

They hung up when I told them it was a Tesla.

Started watching "Welcome to Wrexham", which is storyboarded so well to steer it in the human direction rather than make it a vehicle to promote the club (which arguably is its primary purpose).

I'm tempted to show it to Mr 8 & 11, although the number of F bombs is excessive.

What strategies do other parents use around swearing? I know they'll hear far worse, and I try and not swear at home, as well as explain that just because other people swear doesn't make it acceptable. Any other strategies other than avoid?

Further proof that #police #drug detection dogs are a tool used by police to enable them to search based on social profiles, rather than actually being effective.

Drugs should be dealt with as a public health issue, not a criminal issue.

Told Mr 11 I had peanut butter sandwiches just about everyday at school.

"What about the kids who got sick from peanuts?"

"I dunno!"

"Didn't you have ambulances turn up?

"I didn't see them!"

Interesting podcast on motor doping in cycling.

Like the host, I'm sceptical that at the absolute top end some riders don't motor dope.

Just had a phone call calling me "Andrew... mate", explaining that the Victorian government has a rebate on heat pump hot water systems, asking what me existing system was.

He hung up when I said I didn't have hot water and just used a hose.

In today's episode of "Don't trust Police", we find police describing a gun used by one of their own as a "projectile", and for it not to be known that he'd shot people with it until they checked it in the police stations gun safe.

Maybe I'm naive, but surely you have to account for bullets you've used at start/end of shift?

It's taken 3 months for me to require all 3 of the different Victorian container deposit applications.

Whoever thought that splitting #Melbourne up into 3 different regions with 3 different container recycling companies is a moron.

It's Thursday, and I've quadrupled the time between longest visits to the toilet since Sunday by hitting 8 hours.

Yes, it's been a shitty week.

Did they say this, and the media changed one word?

-or ?-
Did they write it like this, knowing everyone would read the one word differently?

'The Tasmanian Greens described the government's handling of the matter as a "cluster fiasco"'

If the Australian #tax office can fudge it's call waiting times by hanging up on 1 in 4 calls so they hit a desired wait time, I'm allowed to under report my salary by a quarter to hit a desired tax rate? #ATO
