I might just put a sticky dot over the camera lens, like people do with webcams etc when they’re not being used. If the camera in the checkout isn’t being used for anything anyway then it shouldn’t be a problem.
Yeah the explanation is pure bullshit. But of course that’s not down to the poor sod staffing the social media accounts, so don’t take it out on them.
This is kinda the point. Why should doing my shopping be accompanied by “a feeling that I’m being watched”? Supermarkets are already unpleasant enough. Meh. It’s no big deal but Woolworths evasive explanation isn’t doing them any favours.
Tue plan: Sort out some things for some videos*; errands and shopping, Katoomba; 1800 watch Mike Pezzullo speech** mailchi.mp/anu/securing-a…; quiet evening.
* They’re for @zdnetaustralia so not porn. Probably.
** Still not porn.
Tue plan, supplemental: I’m still so tired, even though I went to bed early last night. The dreams were particularly long and particularly intense. Annoying.
Tue plan, amended: I’ll do the Katoomba run first, and then the video prep. The sunlight will help wake me up, and I can escape the NOISY CICADAS for a while.
Sun plan: Slow start; shopping, Katoomba; confirm some plans; Weekly Wrap. I also need to ponder a few things that I’m not going to tell you about.
Meanwhile you might listen to the fifth episode of “The 9pm Edict” Spring Series 2020 with @FrKarlSinclair. Or the ones before that with other fine guests. the9pmedict.com and all* the podcast apps.

If you don’t know who I am and what I usually write about then check out stilgherrian.com and authory.com/Stilgherrian respectively. I’m mostly be staying in my lane because there will be plenty of other people doing the headlines. #Budget2020
The official Budget documents will appear at budget.gov.au at 7.30pm AEDT, and there will be links out to each department’s detailed number. There’s a lot of detail, so here’s how to approach it... #Budget2020
