In which you have to meet things halfway, the slide didn’t look big enough, and I temporarily felt like the god of an extremely small universe. dylangoestothemovies.wordpress.com/2025/07/20/d...

Dylan Goes To Village Plenty Valley.

I am pleased to report that the new Living End album “I Only Trust Rock N Roll” does indeed rock and roll.

And even if it does service a private school, good for the students and staff to have another transport option.

Shrine of Remembrance, apartment/office buildings on St Kilda Rd and surrounds, the Alfred hospital.

I think we’re all glad the CEO of Western Sydney Women can give her take on laws which will affect Victorians.

Next, I look forward to the Parramatta Eels providing feedback to the AFL on how they should run the sport.

No word of a lie. It was lead item in the 7am news on the radio station I listen to in the morning.

“Defund the police” was such a trite slogan, but this is exactly it, isn’t it? Reallocation of resources to where they’ll do the most societal good, rather than just locking everyone up again and again.

Last I saw of MFW, they were still trying to take credit for the ratings of Kyle & Jackie O being in the toilet here. And as a Melburnian, talk about stolen valour!

The famous line about Jean-Luc Picard being a bald man in the 24th Century always comes to mind. “The point is not that we will have cured baldness. The point is that people will not care.”

Josh Gondelman @joshgondelman.bsky.social · 19d

I was asked by @gqmagazine.bsky.social to write a little bit about just going bald in the age of widespread head-shaving and affordable, believable hair transplants...so I did!

Nothing Looks Cooler Than Not Caring You’re Balding

In a polarized culture that demands balding men pick a side, opting for the follicular middle ground is a refreshing act of honesty.

The performative mourning driven by social media, was from blueprints sitting there in large conservative think-tanks like the Heritage Foundation, waiting to be deployed

The alleged outrage was at its core, manufactured recreational grief-bait

When Zack de la Rocha told you to rage against the machine, he didn’t mean take it literally. Agitprop. Fury bait. Yes, you feed it too.

It’s the same as the difference between ‘famous’ and ‘infamous.’

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

“Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?”

Dylan Walton 🔴⚪️⚫️ @iamdwalt.bsky.social · Sep 12

It’s the greatest, isn’t it?

I don’t have kids, but seeing my dad do play-doh and colouring with my brother’s young ‘un is the most heartwarming.

Has King got what It takes to coach? How does he feel about The Stand rule? Is this Christian Salem’s Lot in life now? Can he do the Needful Things to adjust the game plan if required, or will he succumb to Desperation? Does he prefer coaching at the MCG, or Under The Dome?
