Really cool tram thing just happened. There was some kind of malfunction that meant the tram had to go the other way. But instead of turning around, two trams stopped next to each other in the middle of the road and we all just stepped from tram 1 across to tram 2

Hi
@melbconnect
just wondering how you feel about these signs visible through the kitchen door on the mezzanine? They've got your logo but don't feel very leverage research and emerging technologies to disrupt and transform our society to me
Told my cop relative I don't have fingerprint unlock in case cops make me use it to open my phone and she was just like "we would simply get a warrant and say unlock your phone or I am charging you with an indictable offence" ok go off cop queen
My (33F) cat (6M) asked to be allowed out to murder native animals and I said no. He's now hiding under a chair, refusing to come to bed, and saying I don't respect his needs. AITA?
Sitting outside the MCG feeling something that might be described as civic pride... All the American stadiums were surrounded by parking lots and we have grass and gum trees
They're sending in medical choppers to Burning Man for the people who got the flesh eating parasites from the flesh eating shrimp that are hatching in the mud. The parasites in the shrimp burrow into the human brain and cause self-centredness and delusions of grandeur

@shadenfrau
that was badly phrased by me so for the benefit of anyone reading this who's confused: I know people who always drive and the only time they take the train is when they go to events at big stadiums such as the football
An assortment of truly fucked forks have weaselled their way into our neurodivergent household and I'm going to hide them somewhere we'll never have to see them again
Hi
@yarratrams
has anyone told you that your inspectors are very aggressive and disrespectful?? As a fare-paying customer I am quite distressed to witness their behaviour

I TayGated for the first night of Taylor Swift in Melbourne and compared the experience favourably to what I've seen of the US tradition

several guys moved in next door, students I guess. and I've gotten two confused doordash drivers for them in the last week, and their trash can was completely overflowing with pizza boxes. i don't think they cook. i am feeling such a strange motherly urge to feed these boys
Fun fact! The flinders/elizabeth street tram terminus (the Sir Robert Risson terminus) used to be BETTER than it is now. More space for people to alight their tram and wait for one, fully covered, beautiful architecture, how lovely!! What a shame we lost this.
Last time I told her I got arrested she sighed and said "I hope you were polite to the officers". Then she asked if I could introduce her to my criminal lawyer so she could ask some questions about how they do criminal law (I declined)

This is simply an extraordinary study. Researchers gave $7,500 (CAD) to homeless people in Vancouver. The result? The program *saved* money. It helped many of them to move into housing faster, which saved the shelter system $8,277 per person. 🧵👇
Some personal news: Unfortunately I have been let go from Monsanto, effective immediately. It was a privilege to serve as a STEM woman in corporate crop science communications, but ultimately not the right fit for either of us. Onto bigger and better girlbossing! RIP Holley 🌱✌️

RESEARCHER: No, Koko. You can’t have a Birkin bag.
KOKO: Good Birkin good Koko give beautiful Koko deserve gorilla
RESEARCHER: Koko, we simply can’t afford a Birkin bag. It is an unjustifiable expense.

To celebrate my contribution to the parking discourse—my screenshot collection ended up in local govt Teams chats and on r/fuckcars and in Fuck, And I Cannot Stress This Enough, Them Cars—here's a photo I snapped while walking to the MCG on Saturday

and join the fight for everyone to have enough money to exist, whether or not they have a silly little task to do for wages.
I was born in Western Australia. At night, if I lay still as a corpse, I hear the mines calling me. My bones vibrate to the thrum of an autonomous haulage system. The sand will claim me in the end.
omg 100,000 people related to this enough to press the heart button.
yes it did come from a deep well of executive dysfunction - i'm treated and medicated for depression and adhd but life is still so hard.
honestly the solidarity in all the quote tweets helps ✊
We haven't left the tent for over 24 hours because the people camped out next to us got flesh eating shrimp, but we're still having the best time. Burning Man 2023 is the best one yet
Here's a pattern you see again and again, after each time pedestrians are hit and killed by cars in Australia (this one was 9 year old girl).
Empty platitudes from police about "road safety", but absolutely no changes to the obviously unsafe roads that were responsible:
The car parks around the US stadiums are basically social infrastructure.
It's like looking at an aerial shot of Australian coastal towns and complaining that caravan parks are next to the beach. Why doesn't everyone catch the bus to the beach etc etc?
thinking about the nutrition assignment where we had to keep a food diary, calculate % calories from different macromolecules etc, and hand it in to be graded. as well as weighing ourselves in class and calculating our BMI. ED not mentioned that semester. nutrition class is wild
