Bring back the SLV gong!!!
The horrendous staffing cuts proposal must be rescinded and replaced with a new proposal to add a position and bring back this gong
Brass gong with wooden striker (State Library of Victoria)
Every day from the 1850s to the mid-1990s a librarian at Melbourne's State Library of Victoria would circle the reading room, striking this brass gong to mark closing time. In the 1990s the gong was replaced by a pre-recorded announcement.

People laugh that at business schools you’ll have a room full of people feverishly taking notes when the whiteboard just says “profit = revenue - expenses” but every day I encounter people who need to be told this when I’m at work

A weird and somewhat startling realisation I’ve had recently is that every girlfriend I’ve ever had was left handed.

Saw Opeth perform live today - 17 year old me would be beyond excited. 35 year old me was also beyond excited.

Did the chaos god Nurgle from the Warhammer 40k franchise get elected in the US?
The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.
Period.
This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

This was one of the most invigorating books I’ve read in a while - glad I got the whole series. Turns out if someone who knows a lot about a topic writes about it in an engaging way, then the book is real easy to get absorbed in.

Deleted Instagram for the rest of the year, and also no more tv shows - mostly because I’ve been getting too enthusiastic and binging on one show after another and not doing other stuff. I’ll get back to it when I finish my leave from work in January

Set aside the morning to do a bit of recording and post a new video on youtube. Put a new set of strings on my classical guitar, so I'd sound good. Looks like one of the strings is faulty. It makes a sound it shouldn't be making. My whole day is in the gutter now. 11.20am, I'm done. Over the edge.

I was gonna crack a joke but this is just such a bad plan that I can’t. Why are Australian politicians so obsessed with imprisoning children?

The views of the average pro-Palestinian student broadly match what the academic literature says, what international courts say, what the relavant UN officials & orgs say and what the relevant NGOs say. It is views of Clinton and her peers in Western capitals which are largely divorced from reality.
What Hillary is saying here is a conspiracy theory and not even a tame, silly one, but a whopper. A more balefully consequential and widespread one than e.g. Trump complaining that the media lied about his crowds being big.

Made for the Disquiet Junto. The theme this week was Spook Street, spook being taken either as scare or spy or anything in between. Mine is very much inspired by John Carpenter's soundtracks to his ow
