    @TheWonkaTonka Yikes. Hope you’re relaxing with a glass of wine at least!


    @drkknits Oh yeah, Malcolm made a statement. Going down tomorrow. Very exciting.


    @ingridjking @drkknits Yeah, I’ve read that Bishop would be Deputy. But that’s on Twitter; I can’t find confirmation anywhere.

    @TheWonkaTonka Australia just had a change of Prime Minister. The biggest conservative dickhead in the history of the world is gone!

    RT @TheRealBnut: @i386 lol, so good https://t.co/EcBYCoaODy


    @TheRealBnut @i386 Seriously? Fucking BRILLIANT.


    Okay, so next question: When do we get the bloody NBN in Chippendale? With a side of gay marriage and a republic?


    @katja_ghost *fist bump*


    AHHH, I made the same joke tonight! But @ToshGreenslade wins for making the effort of finding the clip. https://t.co/gIZk4xuxzZ


    RT @gtiso: A reminder that Australia getting a new prime minister is an ideal time to check your smoke alarms.


    @themaninblue Not on a Monday, with less than 4 hours notice. Sheesh.


    I may have just used the phrase “silver fox” in relation to our Prime Minister.

    I’ll show myself out.


    @developerjack I said I’m going to bed! 😛


    RT @rcsbaker: Great to announce we’ve raised our new fund at @blackbirdvc. $200m to back Aus founders attacking global markets.

    RT @i386: Last day @canva today. Going to miss the team 🎈😭


    @stevage1 @DamonOehlman Sadly, my response would’ve been, “Wow, not just Men’s XXL shirts!” Grateful to be remembered at all. 🙁


    Things I am inexplicably proud of: figuring out how to perform all the maintenance tasks for the office coffee machine.
