#RIP Angry Anderson, 79. The Rose Tattoo frontman, he wrote and sang the wedding song for Scott and Charlene on Neighbours. But for footy fans he will always be remembered for belting out Bound for Glory - from the Batmobile! - at the 1991 Grand Final. youtu.be/R0UAZlObzN4?...

It’s really quite awful riding Melbourne’s old Comeng trains now. Many of them have a whining noise that just blasts constantly in the carriages. Just measured this one at 80dB

Why hasn’t generative AI in advertising been banned yet? Just saw a pop up ad on YouTube for some Tai chi exercise thing that had “before” and “after” images of two AI women showing how much weight they apparently lost. These people don’t exist. How is this acceptable?

Transferring some old home videos for a friend. The VHS tapes from the 90s are in much better shape than the DVDs from the 00s. People think discs last longer. They don’t.
