Brunswick station was quite moody at about 11.30pm last night. #Melbourne #TrainStation
Brunswick railway station at night, viewed from POV of someone standing between two sets of train tracks. The platforms either side are illuminated by yellowish lights, and no-one is visible. Not pictured: my partner saying, "You do know there's a train coming behind you, right?"

✋Op shop lover here. May even be an addict as I struggle to go past without a cruise by the racks. Today I saw these three Australiana creamer jugs - two koalas and a kookaburra. They just look very happy to BE, with joyful innocence and wonder. Milk pouring out of them would be a little odd.

Feel I haven’t been around Bluesky much lately. Here’s a picture of my dog fishing at Hampton Beach, #Melbourne. It was overcast and quiet - mostly collies and working dogs doing their kms - and so calm. The water was NOT warm but my Goldie did not care. (BEST veg Guru Burgers at beach shack here.)

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

This is a sad story, setting some of the record straight.

I wrote earlier about the catastrophic effects of pro-Israel pressure campaigns on our cultural institutions, but it seems no lessons have been learned open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik...
On the other hand, the organised pro-Israel groups backgrounding journalists or haranguing ministers or board members have faced no consequences, despite the chaos they’ve caused. They haven’t been named or called to account in any way. It’s a perverse effect of the pressure-campaign tactics: only the victims of these attacks (the pro-Palestinian artists, writers, presenters) are put on public trial.
More significantly, the damage to the institutions – the damage they have done to themselves in wronging these individuals – is not being discussed.
There is a common fallacy that these institutions are protecting themselves when they hang individuals out to dry. Pressure campaigns rely on this notion when in fact the opposite is true: board members and chief executives made knee-jerk decisions under the pressure of a news deadline, thinking they’d dampen the threat, only to find the repercussions were much greater. Catastrophic, in fact.
