Melbourne's laneways really are fantastic, and on a warmish summer night have so much atmosphere. And the restaurants and food are great too!

Well that's quite a description of your blocklist, and never mind that I'm not a "Democrat" since I'm Australian, and I challenge anybody to find anything that I've posted that would make me a "genocide enthusiast" either.

My very last film of 2024 was the absolutely astonishing performance by Angelina Jolie as Maria Callas in the biopic about the last part of her life. And Angelina Jolie trained in opera for six months to sing the older Maria! 🤯 She's sure to be nominated for an Oscar.

I have nothing against EVs, they're nice to drive and it's inevitable that as the technology continues to improve, the vehicle fleet will transition to electric, but replacing the engine in an original MX-5 with an electric motor is automotive murder. www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/maz...

Saw the Rene Magritte exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW last night. They've really put together an impressive collection of his work from a range of sources, spanning his whole career. See it if you get a chance!

This is a good tip that somebody gave me years ago. Keep your seatbelt fastened on the outside of your blanket so you don't have to be woken up by the crew in case the seatbelt light comes on.

Trucks have been getting bigger, more energy & space consuming, more polluting, and much deadlier to everyone around them including kids. Not because most of us actually need bigger vehicles, but as ego boosts, status symbols & “indicators of male virility.” Note the truck bed is basically the same.
