R.I.P. Patrick Stewart I met him once at a convention at his autograph booth. Jean-Luc Picard impacted a whole generation. I grew up with TNG. But he was so much more. I’m in shock. 😮😔
Patrick Stewart, an actor known for his roles in "Star Trek" and the "X-Men" film franchise, has died at the age of 86, his family announced Thursday. abcnews.visitlink.me/QeN9ea

“Right In Two” Crazy. I was always so mesmerised by the guitar intro and forgot to stop to check the lyrics in detail. They make the song EVEN better. Brilliant. And so true. We humans are barbarians - never happy with what we have… open.spotify.com/track/0NLDZ… @Tool

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I purchased these tickets. 😮 #TheOdyssey web.imaxmelbourne.com.au/fil…

.@museband’s new album “The Wow! Signal” is out now, and it’s fantastic - as usual. Favourite song so far: “Cryogen” open.spotify.com/track/7vZ9v…

This is what happens when you try to silence Stephen Colbert. He’s the absolute boss. Trump picked the wrong guy for a fight. 😂 youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4?si=D0Z5…

Can’t wait for what Colbert has in store for us.

The world has gone absolutely insane. THE ROYAL POP IS NOT A LIMITED EDITION. Please don’t ever buy this anywhere else but in store. It’ll be readily available in three months time when the hype is over - just like it was with the #Moonswatch. #RoyalPop #Swatch #AP #collaboration

Replying to @Telstra
@Telstra nbn outage this morning, since then internet dropouts every two minutes. Called Telstra support 3x today - they all went through the script. I told them it was definitely a Telstra issue since this happened before and was fixed by Telstra externally. (1/n)

#AvatarFireAndAsh is another masterpiece. @JimCameron is a wizard. #Avata3

The new Apple cases for the iPhone 17 Pro are underwhelming - guess I’ll go with @dbrand again. Grip case it is. dbrand.com/shop/grip/iphone-…

If your Telstra SmartModem constantly restarts, it might not have to be a faulty modem. I have a router running in AP Mode connected to the modem, and it happened after power cycling. Didn’t happen when I changed back to Router Mode (but gave me double NAT). (1/3)

Called the Telstra Hotline, and it turned out to be an issue with the NBN. I assume the modem had issues retrieving the IPs and therefore restarted to re-establish the connection. I guess with the secondary router in Router Mode, it kind of circumvented that issue. (2/3)

Hey @madebygoogle, I had a lamp called “Lounge Lamp” assigned to the living room and could control it separately from the “TV Backlight”. However, since yesterday, it has started changing both lights when I address the “Lounge Lamp”. (1/3)

Did you recently make lounge = living room (as is usual in AU)? That is the only thing that makes sense: Google Assistant now thinks I want to turn on all lights in the “Lounge” = “Living Room”. I changed the lamp to “Floor Lamp” and now it works separately like before. (2/3)

Silly me thought the @IMAX_Melbourne was selling advance screenings of Christopher Nolan’s “Odyssey”, but I actually bought a ticket for the session that is showing in a year from now. My brain is fried. Well, at least I have tickets for the 1570 film. It’s as good as sold out.

We live in the Age of Disinformation. Critical thinking is dying out. It’s sad to see that, instead of using the incredible tools we have at our fingertips to educate and improve ourselves, they are being used more than ever to spread lies... and people readily drink them up. 😢

Thanks to the staff member at the @Telstra shop at Westfield Doncaster who showed the Telstra Hotline how to do it. Desperately needed help and instantly got it in the right way. Work day tomorrow saved! 👍🙌 That’s the second time that store saved me over the useless hotline.

.@HansZimmer’s shows are always a celebration of life. What a humble man. What an artist. What great music. What incredible talent on stage. You’ll have to love it. Come back soon! 👏 #HansZimmerLive @Melbourne

Here’s hoping that @Metallica play this gem of a song in Melbourne on their forthcoming AU tour in November. 🤞 #ToLiveIsToDie

There is two conclusions for me: 1. People want to be lied to. 2 Critical thinking has no place in politics. #USAElection2024
