China doesn't have to be USA v2.0 to lead the world. USA leads because they have the largest economy, the global reserve currency and military might. That's what China needs. Also the USA could just crumble all by itself leaving China as the new world leader.

China needs a lot of things. Staying out of others oceans is a start.

That plus this will make things interesting for financial markets:

Mitch McConnell says the GOP will vote for the US to default on its debt

Altho I imagine that GOP will back down once they've extracted their pound of flesh.

Amanda Gillies and Mark Richardson forced out as part of AM Show makeover

Perhaps Richardson could join Laws & Plunket on fringe radio?

Aussies have forgotten how to earthquake.

One hit Victoria a few min ago. Within 5 mins, several emergency services sirens going, some of my co-workers are freaking out (especially the Indian and Pakistani ones for some reason? <shrug>)

And then you see photos of the crowds of people that appear to be just having a nosy. Right next to more buildings that I am sure could easily collapse if another one hit.

Just like the tsunami watches that head to the beach.

HAH!

Aussie doesn't get earthquakes! Don't need to allow for that in the construction!

Plus a huge lump of the construction industry seems to be playing on the highways, holding up traffic over last few days.

~10% pretend tradies, but roughly equal Union/non-union - fucking idiots either way.

Fun sound-toy: Ambient Chaos
https://neal.fun/ambient-chaos/

I turned on rain and campfire quietly, then cued the lofi beats, then played with the other sounds to add texture.

Found from YouTuber Tom Scott's mailing list - https://www.tomscott.com/

nice one Madmax, now HR can tag you as “anger issues”, “opposes management directives”, and “not a team player”

Recommended corrective measures: Adele, Ed Sheeran

Ode to be a school leaver in today’s job market. Our grandparents would leave school and walk into where they wanted to work for a job

It’s a bit like that now with whole streets of businesses advertising with hiring signs out.

Sure, as long as you don't GAF that it's likely less than a living wage.

Cost of working is going up, more and more people preferring unemployment. There's a phrase that currently describes it as "The Great Resignation"

You know it’s a serious fault when Vodafone restarts “Core network component (routers and firewalls)” to no avail.

Avoided a scam today. Someone must have lifted my cell number off a package I was waiting for, sent me a text saying I needed to pay customs fees. Checked the tracking, it was in the last stage before delivered. The link in the text wasn't immediately suspect, until it requested my delivery details, which also included entering a competition for an iPhone.

I called the courier, they said the package had already been delivered, which it had been, it was just hidden away somewhere non-obvious.

Ever had a dog teach you a trick before?

So we’ve adopted a very good doggo and I’d already started some clicker training with her.

She seems to sit on command pretty well so thought I’d try moving on to lying down. I’m kneeling in front of her and already have her full attention with a couple of treats and a successful sit so tell her to lay down and gesture to the floor with treat in hand. Her study face can’t be hidden.

Instead she paws my hand and I’m thinking what on earth are you doing? You’re not scratching that out of my hand! Then it dawned on me and the instant I said shake she goes absolutely nuts.

So recently watched this vid on why Wes Anderson films look like they do.

Then shortly after I was Rick Rolled.

I woke this morning wondering what a Wes Anderson music video would look like.
