My new favourite fast-food burger. Plant based angry whopper. Hungry Jacks (Burger King). A$11.30 / £5.92. We NEED this in the UK.
Awful news from Greece as two helicopters collide whilst fighting wildfires. Also just noticed slightly weird SEO wording here from the BBC: "as British pilot survives"... ok?

Why is Apple’s Podcast app so bad at downloads? I have been trying to download a couple of episodes for days. Instead, it insists on automatically downloading random episodes from random shows I don’t actively listen to and conveniently forgetting to complete what I requested.

Another day of being pleasantly surprised, shocked even, by how good Brisbane’s public transport is. Why are bus stations here like full on train stations? Why am I getting everywhere, far, scenic-route or super fast for 25p???

There is something so unbelievably cool about an aircraft that came from Australia flying near Nottingham. To think this will be normal in October 2027!
Wikihow reels are annoying me so much. They are not the gospel 😭

Cities that call a bus network a metro 🥴… looking at you Brisbane
Thinking a lot about the trope of parents “not loving their children” because they can’t afford to financially or economically support them, and how heartbreakingly wrong it is. Feeling this strange, familiar discomfort being back in a major city and hearing constant classism 🫠

The last time I was properly sick was in Sydney a year ago. Here I am again, in Sydney, sick. Yet claiming to love it here. My immune system doesn’t yet
