What the fuck? We have seemingly replaced one dodgy bureaucrat with another! "Dr [Margot] McNeill resigned from TAFE NSW, where she was chief product and quality officer, in May last year, and was announced as the new CIT chief executive in June." The position in Canberra was vacant after the institute's former chief executive, Leanne Cover, was found to have engaged in serious corrupt conduct by the ACT Integrity Commission. ... That investigation concluded late last year, finding that Dr McNeill had breached TAFE NSW's code of conduct, and that her employment file would be updated to reflect a "termination" in place of a resignation." #Canberra https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-19/cit-unaware-of-misconduct-investigation-into-ceo-chair-says/106472468

@imalcolm@mastodon.social Youngest here has been talking up a watching for a while. Apparently some of their friends at school have committed. I've really enjoyed the live action series, and I must say Sanji is probably my favourite character. Mostly because of his rivalry with Zoro and his commitment to making stylish dishes. Also his awesome high kicks!

I have a little voice in my head telling me I need to get back into drawing regularly. I'm particularly proud of 'Noirwhal'.

One thing the kids used to do is try and tell what their birthday presents were by looking through the (admittedly) cheap wrapping paper. So I used to make fake videogame covers, and wrap their actual presents in that, to confuse them. Past me was such a joker.

RE: https://theblower.au/@troberts/116191938663833169 No votes for The World's End? Hot Fuzz is my favourite, but The World's End is very clever in a lot of ways, and tackles some serious themes. Plus some of the fight scenes are amazing. #CornettoTrilogy
