Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan. His performance is wasted on those movies, but still. https://t.co/UgYgz8w1OB


TIL Crown Street Grocer in @surry_hills makes a bulletproof coffee. It ain’t cheap, but it’s good.


@TheRealBnut Yep. Seriously, the duel between the Jedi and Darth Maul is amazing.


@TheRealBnut I mean, not amazing enough to counteract all the other awfulness, but still.


@chrisgander Where has that been suggested? Are you talking about the Dutton thing?


@chrisgander True. I married a co-worker. But I didn’t ask him out on live TV and refer to him as “baby” in front of thousands of people.


@chrisgander And context matters. She’s a woman in an industry with very few women, and things like that are why.


@chrisgander Basically, I don’t think he showed her respect. If he really liked her, he could’ve asked her out off-camera.


@chrisgander I still don’t think you can say that 100%. You can’t ask out someone who reports to you at work.


@chrisgander I also think that if you want to ask out a co-worker, you don’t do it when they’re giving a big presentation.


@chrisgander Preferably not in the office at all. I think you’re speaking from a position of male privilege a little bit, not understanding


@chrisgander how women have to deal with this stuff all. the. time. Being in a pub or having drinks, sure. But doing your job is different.


@chrisgander It’s a very easy thing to say when you’re in the gender that does 98% of the asking. The other side gets tired sometimes.


@chrisgander But I’m not really arguing. I’m just overcaffeinated. 🙂


@TheRealBnut @tinypang WHAT IS THIS AND WHY WASN’T I A PART OF IT? (I’m always cold, and I sleep surrounded by three very warm mammals.)


@TheRealBnut @tinypang I have a White Noise app on my iPhone and have worked out that – oddly and grossly enough – “Brown Noise” works best.


@boundvariable Someone who works at Google once speculated to me that the point of self-driving cars is actually to stream more YouTube ads.


On the upside, @the_snook said yest “Hey, that box of 50c stamps you’ve had forever are finally useful again!” https://t.co/sknvtK1DM3


Sometimes I can’t believe I married such an introvert. You’re all so WEIRD!


@Xavier_Ho He knows he’s weird. 🙂


@mobywhale @mitchelmore_j WHEN THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?!
