What Westpac does

He can't seem to log in.

• The person on the roof is homeless. The bank is rescuing the homeless person. That is what banks do, they rescue homeless people. 
• The person was made homeless by a natural disaster, a massive chocolate milk-coloured flood. Global warming increases the risk of floods. This is what banks do, they save us from global warming.
• Westpac is helping save the homeless and fight global warming.
• This poster is everywhere in wake of the Banking Royal Commission. 
• If I was a graffitiing man I’d write, I feel sorry for you. Or, You don't have to lie anymore, or Fair enough, you deserve a tax cut, or Save the Homeless Helicopters.

donut hypocrisy

At Southland, the day after I said I would never eat a donette ever, I took at least one bite out of each of these little donuts. The Aussie yellow one tasted of pineapple flavour, the purple one of grape. This was the Donut King's doing.

This is a picture of a Donette, a Crunch Donette, lifted from the Hostess Cakes website. I saw my first packet of these yesterday at the counter of Ripponlea IGA upon a box of Twinkies. I remember Twinkies from ads in Mickey Mouse comics, trying to work out what they were, something mysterious and creme-filled. When I went to the internet I searched for Donutettes, which exist as a word on bulimia sites, but Google corrected me and directed me to the right product. I will never buy these ever.

Year of the blog

Here's a fun game, type a word, any word, into an address bar and add the extension .blogspot.com

For example, "horse" = http://horse.blogspot.com.au/. The blog's name is Horse. The first and last post is: Horse. And it was posted by Jeanette, October 20, 2000, year of the blog.

Or try ice cream, http://icecream.blogspot.com.au/
Or Erik's two-poster http://famous.blogspot.com.au/
Or http://rockmusic.blogspot.com.au/ as curated by "The Janitor" (his follow up blog, I like cheese, was hijacked by porn).
For a calmer introduction to cheese, be sure to visit http://cheese.blogspot.com.au/.

Teens of the early 2000s, this is your legacy. From the bedrooms and high school computer labs of America you colonised the blogosphere, driven to complete your English assignment to 'start your own blog' and in so doing stake the online foundations of your generation.
