They are such badasses.
They will sometimes wear seagull faces on their beaks.

The Bondi attack shows that while Islamic State is no longer a territorial force in Asia, its ideology persists online, continues to radicalize individuals and still poses a deadly threat. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/28/world/asia-islamic-state-not-back-but-endures/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #islamicstate #is #terrorism #australia #bondibeach #islam #philippines #religion #jamaahansharutdaulah

Asia’s economic growth in 2025 was sluggish, central banks acted cautiously amid low inflation and political pressures and the full impact of U.S. tariffs and policy choices will become clearer in 2026. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/25/world/2025-easy-money-defined-asia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #monetarypolice #inflation #us #asia #china #thailand #indonesia #australia #govkazuoueda #boj

I switched our energy retailer from Amber Electric to Localvolts, and I've started to play with their pricing API. Fun stuff! I recorded a quick video showing some interesting subtleties in how pricing is different between the AEMO wholesale price, amber and localvolts.
Let me know if you have any questions, and I can make a follow-up video.
As always: This is a solo mastodon instance, so boosts = ❤️
