So we lost the coolstore, which will affect nearly every local business that produces food or drink. And we’ve lost the broadcast towers (for a little while), which will impact the entire local media sector. 2026 is not starting out well for Central Victoria.

C’mon, guys. Obviously Sandilands was legally obligated to do this as part of his community service hours. [Link]

Man. I’ll be making it a point to get out there and buy a Harcourt juice or cider this week if I can find one.

I love the ‘pre-2010s internet’ vibe the Fediverse gives off, but I’m frustrated with how impenetrable it seems for a non-tech person. If I want a community of like-minded people anywhere near there it seems like I’ll have to build it from scratch.

Hades, and some of my favourite builds: https://mikegorrie.micro.blog/2026/01/04/hades-and-some-of-my.html

I’ve been playing Hades a lot lately. Here’re some errant thoughts about that, and some short gameplay clips.

Mario Kart World’s photo mode is pretty great actually.

Good news: Mario Kart World’s knockout mode absolutely slaps.

Here's a rule you can apply to almost everything:

If you're applying the rules "because they're the rules", then you don't understand the rules well enough to apply them.

Treating the lesser of two evils like it's The Good Guys Won, Things Will Be Fine Now is absolutely unhinged behaviour honestly

Australian Federal Election advertising in 2025 is absolutely unhinged the way it leans on things like Oblivion memes and DJing, but the Greens talk about the importance of The Work while putting deliberate, cultivated moments of joy and whimsy front and center, and they're so real for that.

Rareware DK looks like he belongs on Baywatch. New DK looks like he's voiced by both Seth Rogen and Patrick Warburton.

Whoa. In a single moment — not even a 30-second scene! — they just showed us how the galactic senate is dissolved by ANH (only 3 years later). This is Sidious's influence to the core, and a deliciously relevant audiovisual bite of the Empire's fascism.

Fun Daredevil drinking game (also applies to Born Again): anytime you hear the words 'this city' or 'the city', take a shot.

RIP your liver.

Weather at home: 8°c in the morning, and again around the time you come home

Weather in Melbourne, where I'm going: 35°c

Me, trying to dress for the weather: 😐

It was a house of cruelty
A house of vanity
Of pride
