Something has happened at Flinders Street. Cops everywhere. They've taped off Flinders between Elizabeth and Degraves, and they've erected some tents.

Someone bought a bass guitar that (1) I couldn't justify buying; (2) I don't really have space for; (3) was all the way in Bendigo; (4) in an evil Cash Converters. Absolutely gutted.

I'm looking to make a career pivot next year. Do you need an accreditation to lure sailors to their deaths through song or is it more about who you know

Remember, if you're about to share something that confirms your biases, take a few seconds to check it's actually true
Ok I checked and no, Andrew Tate hasn't posted that it's gay for straight men to have a girlfriend.
If you haven't seen the post about this that's doing the rounds, then this is not something you need to know about. Carry on.
