One can both acknowledge under this Australian Government there is hope for positive change for people seeking asylum unlike the previous one and yet call out each day it’s failure to deliver on what it promised in opposition. People can’t just stay in limbo & poverty forever.

I'm not crying... you're crying!
@Patty_Mills & @Joeingles7 are living their dreams... and every Aussie hoops fan's... but more importantly they're giving dreams to all the Aussie kids who just watched what they did. Thank you both for everything 🙏🏻
Joe Ingles and Patty Mills used to drive around Canberra in Joe's second-hand car and dream about their careers. Today Ingles put a bronze medal around Mills' neck. #Tokyo2020 #basketball

FIBA PATTY | Our flag bearer put his country on his shoulders and delivered with one of the greatest individual performances by an Australian on the biggest stage in winning bronze. Take a bow @Patty_Mills 🏀🇦🇺🙌

Not only an inspiration, but a genuine lifesaver. Thank you @Kon__K
I started the @ASRC1 20 years ago this June with no more than the kindness of my friend Pablo donating rent free a 5m x 4m shopfront, some tables & chairs from my mum, a few hundred dollars of savings & my students. Never let anyone set limits on your dreams & what you can create
I'm unreasonably overjoyed that a recent Google Calendar change means meetings shorter than 30mins no longer visually take up the whole slot. Hurrah!
Has WFH been doing your head in? How about you try WFT (Work From Tent)... my good friend Toby Vidler pioneering the future of distributed teams!

Mark my words, today will be a big day for black hoodie, keyboard close-up, and green text stock photography.

Bemused that @Atlassian's permission system for Confluence is egregiously broken, and they're trying to turn that into money. "Don’t #@!% the customer"

There is no conscience in our treatment of these people. It is passionless, gruesome officiousness, grinding them to dust in the name of the rule of a law that is bad. buff.ly/2xOkcjc
I don't like to complain on social media much, but... Amen!

On the one hand, I’m reticent to criticise a service bringing people together in such a difficult time. On the other hand, holy shit! “Ex-NSA hacker finds new Zoom flaws to takeover Macs again, including webcam, mic, and root access” 9to5mac.com/2020/04/01/new-z…

NZ: We're going into lockdown. You'll hear from me a lot.
AUS: Going to the footy. Wait, why are you at the beach?! Go get haircuts. Schools are clopen. We need to help essential workers, which is everyone. Unleash the plague ship! Parliament is closed. Mining CEO in charge now.

I love love love it when I’m showing my @csinschools classes some code and I screw it up. I do it on purpose, I ask them to help me debug it. I tell them my mates who are highly paid professionals write bugs all day long. 🐛 💻
