if you didn't know what Salvos is, secret defence documents being found by the Hutt Valley Salvation Army sounds like one of @drdrehistorian.bsky.social 's Hutt Republics is experiencing a guerilla conflict

I lived in fear of this day, and it’s here. I finally got called out by The Onion

make sure to double up on your antihistamines today folks

so looking at the info released about the "big switch" on 1 Feb 2026, and we get 2 quite different headlines from this morning's press release, the big build website/a Jacinta Allan post on twitter at earlier tonight. is it 6tph Watergardens - Dandenong, or just West Footscray - Dandenong? (1/5)

ahahahahaha fucks sake they actually are only opening it between 10am and 3pm and only running trains every 20 minutes to start. talk about an own goal. at least February is better news

get out your antihistamines folks

When someone who doesn’t follow me likes a rt from pretty far down my page that is great. Didn’t see anything else you liked huh. Thank you for your honesty

also just to be clear, while I'm having a big whinge today about the lack of info re. metro tunnel timetables, I'm still going to be absolutely fucken ecstatic when it opens. will definitely improve my regular commutes a huge amount. I just want it to be as good as possible

I don't know why the age didn't bother to include these quotes, but it's good to see my assumptions about ONRSR approvals being the last stumbling block vindicated. but if the rewriting of the timetables isn't even done yet, you've got to wonder what the hell has been happening the last 4 years

Good to have options I guess

making my annual pilgrimage to one of the most objectionable road signs in the country, which is also responsible for the one and only time I "went viral" on the other site

choosing to believe "emergency services electric trolley" is a PCC streetcar painted up to look like a fire engine or police car

putting on my assumption hat: the flurry of media about the metro tunnel this weekend is a sign the government is pretty ready to open the tunnel, but they won't commit to a date until they get ONRSR approvals. they need to quash this idea of an off-peak only launch immediately though, it is awful

this meeting could have been an email? buddy, the email could have been a phone call. or a telegram. or the electricity powering a neon sign. a quasar shining 500 trillion times as bright as the sun

Some stuff is duly noted

when all you can think about at work is the public holiday tomorrow

I love beautiful map

in today's instalment of Victoria's abysmal public transport information and comms experience: for some reason the PTV journey planner shows *almost every disruption in the state* for any train based trip. 59 (fifty nine!) disruption warnings for a 2 minute trip which was operating as normal

this morning they had to cancel my bus early "due to a traffic gonestion". whatever the gonestion is I hope it's resolved now

My doctor prescribed me being towed behind a boat

@fishttp.website didn't realise you were in town

Don't mind me, I'm just celebrating

best city in da world

I can't use dark mode on bluesky, it reminds me of twitter. Let's get a new colour. Let's do a dark burgundy felt, with a mahogany wood trim. There could be a candlelight effect that flickers and is brighter in the middle of the screen. You could click on a wee dagger or guild crest for group chats.

sorry i was late. i encountered adversity.

the State Electricity Commission of Victoria MUST commission a gigantic Yallourn hot air balloon. this is extremely important

reading a news article published 4 hours ago that reads almost exactly like half the news in 2020

Impression of you all: I love my cat or cats very much

my love language is you reading wikipedia articles to me until I fall asleep

I’m not sure this is an appropriate use of a semi-colon.
