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.
Tue plan, amended again: I just figured out that I don’t need to run those errands at all today, so I only need to do the two things which aren’t porn. Though that means the cicadas will still be a thing. This is called “compromise”.
Tue plan, remainder: 1800 watch Mike Pezzullo speech mailchi.mp/anu/securing-a… (he’s the Home Affairs secretary so it might be interesting); tell you about my podcast plans; after that, a quiet evening.

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.
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.
BUDGET 2020: This is the start of my thread looking at Australia’s federal Budget, delayed from its usual deliver in May because of the ’flu or something. This is a very narrow look, so first some background. #Budget2020
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
