T shirt that, the commentators mentioned, when I found this German website, which I thought was odd.

It's an Australian designer on an Australian website that the Australian website has mirrored a German language website to take advantage of different search engine tricks etc. - nothing special about that

Hi all, long time listener first time caller to this thread (I think?).

Quick question, my wife and I have an interstate membership, and can't make it to the Gabba game in a couple months time. I have a mate who's going to Brisbane that weekend and would love to catch the game, but will have the wife and 3 kids in tow.

Does our 2 interstate membership barcodes only give them access to two "member tickets" that go on sale on Wednesday and they'd have to buy 3 GA tickets when they go on sale the next day?

TIA...

Okay, whose plates are these?

Remember when Dogs fans didn’t want other punters to bag Ward because he was coming back one day

Losers.

Old Footscray , new Footscray . Railway place. The new apartments look so close you feel you could touch them, though they're over the railway line.

Yuk. Urban dissonance.

Yeah……… beat that Geelong

Putting the usual NYMBY moaning aside. Infill of redundant industrial land in the inner and middle suburbs is a good thing and better than more urban sprawl into the wastelands of the outer suburbs. Where every activity is car dependant and where it can take a decade or more for services like shopping, schools, health and public transport to catch up to the lofty promises of developers, who walk away the moment the development is finished. Leaving residents with no recourse but to look to government to rectify the issue that was apparent for all the world to see when they signed on the dotted line.

These are issues that the people in these build to rent apartments will never face. Given the inner suburbs are well served by schools transport and government services. Indeed the people of these apartments are about too have a brand new $1.5 billion hospital open less than 2km away from them

I do agree with this, but a range of different housing types, not just these glass skyscrapers.

Development takes the path of least resistance tough. Of course there should be more medium density, 3-6 story apartment complexes and townhouses, but the gamut of regulation and red tape at local and state level makes it far easier for those wanting to develop either building either urban sprawl or skyscrapers (urban sprawl is the worst but obviously everyone would love an appropriate balance of the 3 with not enough townhouses/medium density apartment building being built).

There's a lot I don't like about modern politics, and a lot of it is words and not action, but the problem is laid out pretty bare and correctly by Andrew Leigh in a speech he gave to a Labor think tank a couple of days ago:

I was disturbed to find just now that when I typed "Bontempelli" into BF that it came up with the red squiggly underline, meaning the word is not recognised.

WTF? Who curates these feckin dictionaries? Surely Bontempelli is now as much a part of the English language as Churchill, Michelangelo, Putin or Mozart? None of whom get the squiggly line treatment.

To compound the insult, when you right click on it, the suggested correction is "contemptible".

I demand a ... a ... I dunno, something. But it needs to fkg happen NOW.

There's your problem. He's in the bible not the dictionary

I miss the thread that cannot be named. The Trump Musk implosion was as predictable as it is entertaining. Sigh.

Probably not the right thread for it but I just read this on Reddit. This is an email sent to parents of children from the childcare centre at Whitten Oval. Not sure of the reasoning behind the Club’s decision but it would likely result in a significantly inferior centre. Disappointing that the Club would go down this path.

——————

We've emailed you today regarding a potential change that may impact our wonderful centre, and ECMS as a sub-tenant of the Western Bulldogs. The Western Bulldogs have requested that the Council vary the terms of the lease to allow a for-profit provider to operate it.


On 17 June, the Council approved this recommendation, and there is now a 28-day communication engagement window where families can let the Council and councilors know what they think about this proposed change.


Please read the email, and we'd really appreciate it if you raised your voice in support of the amazing community we've built together over the last 15 years.
