Hey Melbournians! There's a neo4j meetup tomorrow night. One talk on graphs and AI, and me on some cool research on scalable transactions for graphs. Sign up here: www.meetup.com/graphdb-melb...

On the 57 tram. Chariot of the gods

LOL, the Age has fought tooth and nail against building the public transport infrastructure.

Channel 7 news just described the Metro tunnel as a ‘political mess’. These utter shitgibbons…

People say they want to manufacture real things in America again BUT they complain that it’s “inappropriate” and “not productive” to talk about how we need lots of guillotines. Like make up your minds!

The print edition is splashing a nice positive JESS WE CAN with smiley pic. Which will be seen by a tiny number of under 40s. And trusted by about ten per cent of them anyway.

I endorse this book(*). If you're into hunting, reading a book about how not to be killed by bears, written by a hallucination engine is definitely the approach to take. aus.social/@joannaholma...

New Victorian tourism campaign just dropped

I just found one of my favourite receipts.

I love living in the terrorised multicultural suburbs of Melbourne where neighbours have blocked off the street to traffic so they can set up tents and have this massive lunch all together.

Pretty detailed analysis. Worth a read 📚

Nods head.

Lol, someone has revived the Ansett name on a travel booking website. Good luck appealing only to anyone 45 and over who doesn't already know how to book a holiday.

what's that little robot? you want to go play with the dumped shopping trolleys and e-bikes in the nearest creek

Given how shit both the mainstream and ”independent” medias coverage is on anything Vic labor can you blame them?

See what happens when you dont have an airport rail!! Oh……

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I had no idea that growing up playing those “find 10 things wrong with this picture” games in kids’ magazines would leave me with such maladaptive skills later in life 🫠

It should be legal to turn these upside down drop a cinder block on them.

Good to see the fed Greens following vic labors lead. This should be law and it probably will be soon enough.

IDK @theconversation.com, does it mean the same racist dogwhistle bullshit as every time anyone else has brought it up in any country in the past three decades?

I'm way ahead of them.

Resign, Jacinta!

@davehitchcock.bsky.social thoughts? going-medieval.com/2025/11/25/o...

Shocked and surprised. Fucking idiot politicians. Every fucking single time. This shit isn't your job, how about raising the rate on all forms of monetary assistance rather than these foolish, wasteful distractions.

I'm surprised he lets his turkey get even that brown

When the stress of hunger and traffic trigger their prey drive, even domesticated buses revert to their primal hunting strategy. Working in packs, they encircle smaller, fuel-rich vehicles and extract their nutrients.

Victorians reading this are going to find various aspects strange. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/crime-n...

There’ll be a lot of dead whales washing up on the beaches

Keen to analyse this belter at length with like minds. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

If this bullshit was done in any other workplace in Australia the person doing it would be out of a job. The same should 100% apply to politicians.

Hello solar power

The AI bubble will burst, you’ll lose your job and more, but the folks responsible won’t. They’ll get bailed out by taxpayer money, and no one will go to jail. 50/50 chance there won’t even be an investigation at all, as long as the perps donated to the gilded ballroom fund.

Still, the economy is doing better than their men's Test cricket team.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

This country would be much better for everyone if we had more class traitors like David Pocock...and fewer like Albanese. #Auspol

One upside of when Nvidia crashes is that a lot of people are going to learn the word 'invidious' courtesy of pun-chasing headline writers

Pauline Hanson's contribution to public life is to give disgruntled rednecks someone to blame for the unhappiness caused by their pre-existing ignorance.

Shocked* to learn that the worst examples of election day intimidation came from the good* christian blow-ins supporting the worst elements of the coalition. #Auspol

There really are no consequences for wealthy white people in this country

But on issues such as respectability and morality, I think you should judge people by their deeper, more important actions. That doesn't mean how they dress, but how they treat others on a more meaningful level. I will end with something I wrote five years ago about the messy nature of dress codes.

Some owner-occupiers just bought the mirror version of our townhouse for an amount that (adjusted for inflation) is about what we paid 8 years ago. Victoria gets shit done.

An apartment similar to mine just sold in my building for the exact same price i paid 2.5 years ago. Dont let grifters convince you that lmi waivers for 1st homeowners are pushing prices up. 5 apartments have sold in my 10 apartment building in the last 2.5 years - all of them are now owner occs

Religious extremists working at religious extremist institution doing religious extremism shock!

A really good thing about this is that it's the sort of defeat that the touring side carry around with them for the rest of the series like a bucket of cold sick in the corner of the dressing room.

I wonder if England might consider actually pitching the ball up. Seems like the short stuff is being carted.
