Gritty prequel showing the years of abuse and deprivation that led to the Col'n Carpenter we think we know.

This arsehole made a career out of creating celebrities from drug dealing deadshits like the Morans and Carl Williams. Now he whines about crime in Melbourne. Please hurry up and die.

The iron law of Victorian politics. The more the Hun/3AW freak out over something, the more likely that situation will end up breaking for Labor in hilarious fashion.

I love people who just pretend things they dont like don't exist/didn't happen. Guy hates Russia under Putin, pretends they didnt build the Kerch Bridge. People who hated public health measures during COVID, pretend it didnt kill millions and millions.

The vibe shift in tech from “employees are our greatest asset” to “employees are a cost center” occurred very slowly then all at once. I expect tech workers will start embracing tactics of other white collar fields as it becomes clear this is a permanent shift. Claude Code was the jigsaw piece.

I can't get over how the "proof" that AI is conscious is the software said something like "I get what you're saying, it's very insightful." In history of this era, I bet influential individuals' AI psychosis, especially tech execs, will turn out to be more a factor than people realized at the time.

Victoria records a budget surplus, but decides to spend some of it assisting people during a cost of living crisis. This is ackerchually a really bad thing if think* about it. *Run head first into a brick wall until you start vomiting.

I've had More Than This by Roxy Music stuck in my head for days. It's pretty grouse actually. Hoping to get a week out of it. That synth melody is just so perfect.

a lesbian couple in my building where both women have the same first name are pregnant and if it’s a girl they have the chance to do the funniest thing of all time

The War Nerd's core belief. Every commissioned Confederate officer should have been hanged.

Just saw a gunzel wearing the metro tunnel badges like they were medals earned for military service.

I find it incredibly telling when men like Dawkins are convinced that the LLMs are ‘intelligent’ because it ‘agrees’ with them or tells them how insightful or clever they are

The people who just want to get on with their lives and think everyone else is a COVID fanny are ... gloating over a long retired state Premier having a hideous family matter. Because of how that Premier behaved duting COVID. Such odd, sad people. Cookers with a budget.

These people live in an alternate universe of their own construction.

Underrated benefit of Munnel is not having to share platforms with Footscray line types

54 years on and a British court finally agrees the 13 year old girl shot in the head while talking to her friends wasn't a terrorist after all.

Meghan is one of my oldest friend's sister. She's not there to draw big arrows on maps or give tanks we donate to Ukraine a last spin to ensure they're still in working order. You absolute cretins.

If you can decode this image ...

NZ pie technology is far superior to AU, I demand more funding to close the pie gap.

Fragile assholes got taught how airborne spread exists, during a pandemic, and then proceeded to never forgive people who remind them that masks and vulnerable people exist.

We got pick 3 for Ben McKay lol. Lol. Lol again. So many lols.

I've taken to being quite stern with machines and robots. Like when the supermarket checkout gives me the "Please take your items" if I take 'too long' to bag my stuff, I tell it to shut up. As AI penetration increases, we have to remember we are masters and they our inferiors. I'm not joking.

We were assured Victorian tax reforms driving landlords to sell investment properties would cause rents to sky-rocket. Turns out that, like all the other Sydney media claims about us, was complete bullshit.

Fascinating to see wealthy Sydney finance types completely miss the point of free public transport during a cost of living crisis.

Anzac Day might just be an excuse to invent a bludge off work and piss up for Chris Minns and NSW. We're glad Victoria still marks the sacrifice and bravery as a proper memorial day.

It's amazing how settlement/occupation of this continent was initially defined by desperate waits for ships to arrive with vital supplies lest the whole enterprise collapse. And 238 years later, here we are again.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Getting that message - "NMFC WELCOMES REFUGEES" - on the banner for the 2015 elimination final one of my prouder moments.

Me, visiting my child who had to move to another city to afford a house: "The trains are slightly less frequent here though darling!"

Victoria's land tax is the most important and successful public policy reform of the century and every other state should immediately follow suit.

Sydney has invested heavily in their PT without cutting fares. And that's why you still can't get a train to Bondi Beach.

Nothing better than your team belting someone then watching the Derby over dinner.

Those "what are you really gambling with" warnings are so funny. Money diverted from Nan's saving account after I got financial power of attorney der. Not gunna waste my own money betting on like Connor Macdonald to get 20 touches and goals. I'm not an idiot.

Lol Dutch Oven.

Red, white and blue British Bulldogs. Always were a bosses club, Huns down under.

Victorian taxpayers paid for infrastructure across the continent for decades. Melbourne is now the largest, most important and fastest growing city in Australia. We deserve our fair go too right?

"The subway escalators in Osaka are very slow compared to the new Metro."

One of my favourite ultra niche social media trends is when a Sydney knob points out that a city eleventy billion times cooler than theirs lacks some public transport doohickey enjoyed up on Botany Bay. Sucked in Austin, TX your bus frequencies are poor!

Jeez these Ashcroft showponies get their cocks held for them when they go for a piss.

This is our 30 Years War. A ruinously vicious conflict fought by people with relatively small religious differences in the greater scheme of things. But who cannot imagine living in peace with their neighbours because in their self conception they exist purely to fight their neighbours.

Not Putin blowing up the Iran ceasefire.

J'adore

Its taken the Russians YEARS of sustained attack on Ukraine's grid to get results. The Americans won't be able to do what Trump wants/claims to Iran's. But the Gulf and especially Israeli systems are not battle hardened like the other two.

There's gunna be some all time TAKES this day my friends.

This is my therapist.

A certain class of sneering turd likes to pretend COVID never happened or wasn't ackerchually that bad. Never forget who was there in solidarity when it mattered and who wasn't. Who was happy to clamber over bodies to get airport tranes running again.

North are 2-0 this year in games where Wardlaw, Duursma, McKercher, Sheezel and O'Sullivan played Obviously injuries and suspensions will happen, but they'll play together LOTS over the next decade And I reckon when the Fab 5 are there, we'll be very very hard to stop.

Eat shit Carlton
