Operational Incident

I could probably waste 4-5 days of my life if someone was able to produce these diagrams from Victorian GTFS.

Possibly the most tiresome thing about these people who’ve decided to imagine they live in a siege situation is how witty they all think they are.

The relocated Bay 13ers finally get a wave going after an hour of trying and Boland gets a wicket. Something in that

Green also getting himself run out and then trying to do it again and getting spooked a highlight.

What an absolute batting shitshow. Curator is taking way too much of the heat for this nonsense

Great to see the Australian openers out in perfect batting conditions to start the Boxing Day Te— I am being handed a note

There’s a fairly obvious solution to this that none of the hand wringers are very interested in talking about.

In any case the Jack Lang episode was much much worse but that doesn’t feature in the boomer nostalgiascape so we don’t hear much about it.

As I’ve said for a long time, the fact the “worst constitutional crisis in Australian history” resulted in… a slightly early election makes it very hard to make a compelling case for change.

Had some bizarre mangled quote on the news about “do crime do time”

🚨Ben Carroll Clumsy Hatchet Job Klaxon🚨

Another victim of the global credit card tap on scam.

3,000 passengers a day lmao. Projected cost US$12.4 billion. Diabolical

Terrible what’s happening in America. Now to turn on my favourite Melbourne radio station and see what the cops have to say about the centre-left government

That the inventor of the computer mouse in recent weeks earned himself an indefinite site ban after a two-decade crusade against such sins as capitalising “draft” in “NFL Draft” speaks volumes about the bizarro world social system that underpins the place.

So much of Wikipedia is, like this, enforced essentially by one frighteningly dedicated individual without any reference to norms and practices in the real world.

lol I saw those absolute peanuts try to rehash it at AN - you’re doing the lord’s work there

I think if Britain colonised your country of origin you should get free BBC iplayer.

YIMBY community win!

ah

It’s pretty disturbing how the right of Victorian politics, having spent the better part of a decade radicalising its base, gets to repeatedly turn around and pretend Nazis are not their problem. Disturbing because it’s not clear where this leads.

Actually they’re all chronically online anti-Labor NIMBYs, apart from the council and golf club reps. Literally zero point to this.

I genuinely feel sorry for the SRL staff who have to spend two hours a month answering absolutely insane questions from Heatherton QAnon with a straight face.

Meanwhile in Melbourne we have the entire establishment trying to radicalise outer suburban voters into January 6ing railway tunnels.

Interested by your take that it’s likely not a final timetable. I find it hard to see Wefo/Westall shorts through the day given the relatively modest overall funding

I wouldn’t describe this as a community group so much as a one-personal political project of incredible intensity.

FIVE escalators DISGRACE

I suppose the counter argument to breaking at Ararat vs Ballarat is that a BOG means the expense of a new depot and transfers to Melbourne etc. committing at Ballarat would at least open the possibility of extensions towards Geelong and Mildura at a future point

Made even more explicit by a 3% swing towards Labor!

Either put more trams up Elizabeth St or start shooting tourists for catching trams from Melbourne Central to the market.
