Just a friendly heads-up that if you’re using the Western Fwy in either direction between Ballan and Ballarat, put the phone down, watch your speed & get your log book ready. Just saw a posse of 4 VicPol Highway Pursuit vehicles parked up in the disused rest stop at Bungaree (Ballarat-bound).

Hoss: One of the all-time greatest bands ever to have soundchecked, then sonically demolished an entire room in less than 3 songs. All killer, no filler. No notes.

So looking at the actual SF chronicle article, the only place this song is accruing notice is on Spotify, which is easily gamed by bots. If I were an AI proponent who desperately needed to boost the validity of my investment, this is exactly what I’d do.

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

Going to be a big one for Melbourne CBD bar owners who claim Hoddle’s Grid is a lawless crime zone, then in the next sentence slam people for not venturing into that lawless crime zone to buy overpriced drinks at his shit hole of a venue
Melbourne media: everything is bad, Melbourne is scary.
Also Melbourne media: and who has got tickets to AC/DC tonight, going to be an amazing evening in the city, we’ll be there!! Rah rah…

I was going to reply to this with "biting the ends of Tim Tams off, and then sucking ice-cold milk through them" but, yeah, this is also a great way to take care of the time-honoured Orange Creams
Do you have a certain way of eating a particular style of biscuit?
For example, with Arnotts Orange Slice I like to twist apart the two biscuits, scrape out the orange cream centre into the bin, then hurl each biscuit part onto the roadway for passing cars to crush into a fine dust.

As the Liberal Party eats itself, a gentle reminder that it was the Abbott gummint wot signed the Paris Accord, and the Morrison gummint wot signed us up to Net Zero by 2050.
They’re at war with themselves because Abbott and Morrison both now oppose their own positions.
Delicious.

del Toro's Frankenstein is all kinds of brilliant.
Gonna put it out there: del Toro, Villeneuve and Peter Jackson should be the only filmmakers allowed to re-interpret/remake/reimagine existing classics of film and literature.

How's all of that "both sides" discourse working out for everyone, eh?! Still think we need to reconsider whether we'd all been a bit too judgey and close-minded about neo-fascism and neo-Nazism in the post-truth era?

The current AFL “administration” is unmatched in its lazer-like focus on bread and circuses, while putting the real issues affecting the code in the too hard basket
Oh FFS. Let's have 10 of 18 teams play finals. Well done guys, sensational way to reward mediocrity. But at least broadcasters can hyperventilate over some more "finals".🙄

Pains me to say it but I think this is true. Some of my colleagues in the media who’ve stayed on X don’t even realize how badly its noxious algorithm is skewing their perception of politics and reality.
Also, that place seems designed to make you miserable unless you’re a Nazi. It’s just wretched.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.
