Seeing a band I've personally known for 22 years, their first gig in 10 years. Fun times in Fitzroy.

Being able to get to Melbourne Central Station via the State Library Station entrance, bypassing the shops, is worth all those billions imho
I'll try the new Metro to get to the library... No trains for 50 minutes? Cool.

The lineup for this years Christmas Special Marathon has been decided.

Let's see if I can keep myself from swapping more stuff around like I have while compiling this.

Visited the old Dancing Dog (now Mamma Chen's) in Footscray to see Anouk Ely's album launch, followed by Regurgitator in never before duo mode (with occasional drum machine).

Anouk was fantastic: consumevalve.bandcamp.com/album/hunter...

Occasional visits to the city to go to State Library Victoria also means fancy breakfast

So @alexvitale.bsky.social, who wrote THE END OF POLICING (which I cite heavily in my forthcoming book THE OVERSEER CLASS), has been tapped to join Mayor-Elect Mamdani’s Transition Team to work on “community safety issues.”

This is an extremely promising development.

The State Library of Victoria’s ‘major’ proposed cuts include slashing the number of reference librarians and free computers for public access. Some staff are shocked.
Proposed cuts at State Library of Victoria go against its mission – and will hurt the disadvantaged

I've visited the SLV many times in the last few months to view some magazine collections. It's always packed. It makes no sense they'd cut services. Only people left will be security.

Finally saw this. It was self indulgent, cheesy as frig, but I really enjoyed it. Bananas.
I want to see the Robbie Williams monkey movie - I'd even pay to rent it, I'm just not going to go to the cinema to see it. Figure it'll do well on streaming.

Fun blog post from a friend demonstrating the Earth's curvature with photos across Port Phillip Bay:

Which way is up 2 by Matthew Coad on Exposure
Pretty soon after I received my first drone I spent considerable time thinking about how I could use it to provide evidence of the curvature of the earth. Photograph tall towers near and far maybe? Go...

Roddy's book is fantastic. It's full of shocking revelations, incredible honesty, and helps us understand the man he was and is today. More than ever Imperial Teen's Seasick needs a reissue.

Incidentally it leaves the two Kurt Cobain biographies we've read severely lacking.
Be right back, we have some words to devour

Luigi and Tyler's lawyers when the charges are read out in court
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Listening to some The Cruel Sea and hearing this in Tex's voice now too. Thanks for ruining music for me Mick.
I think the Slow Horses theme "Strange Game" upsets me so much because it sounds like a drunk Peter Garrett, and now I'm wondering has PG always sounded like Mick Jagger doing a funny voice?

This whole AI scam is just a way for people to convince someone to build massive data centres, and the power plants to supply them, only to turn around and use it all to mine bitcoin.

Really wanted to see Amyl and the Sniffers at Fed Squared today but caught a cold going to gigs :(
