The universal truth of working any job involving humans is that people will fuck themselves over through poor planning and then get upset with you if you can't fix it for them

that’s why I’m optimistic in the long term, there’s something about this place that people when they get here don’t want to blow up, we’ve historically done cohesion really well (some paraphrasing) Maybe one of the most interesting interviews I’ve seen recently tbh youtu.be/I9OKBhmmeQQ?...

today in mastodon's amazing unrequested tech support: after I complained about how my ZSH was doing bad tab-completion, and 21 hours after I fixed it, someone showed up to link me to a video (!) of how tab completion works in general (!!) in Bash (!!!), a completely different shell (!!!!)

Rules for Left(ish) Mayors: Find comrades in the bureaucracy. You'll be judged by how well the city functions under your direct control. Smart & creative lower-level staff are bottled up by managers who got their positions by supporting the status quo. Find your people & elevate them when you win.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

Gods, Melbourne Central station’s design used to fuck so hard when it was first built. Integrating with the shopping centre really made it lose its identity a bit. The whole thing looks like cigarettes and sex, and it’s a pity we just don’t design shit with this much character anymore

Internal shot of Platform 1? In Melbourne Central Station from the 80s, which has a very red tiled subway feel. The seating is these individual wooden chair type benches, the whole thing looks like cigarettes and sex (metaphorically - it’s quite brown)

Honestly it’s pretty wild how many changes have happened over the last 5 years on the Melbourne Railways when you stack them up end to end. “We opened a new station”. “We opened a new station”. “We got new rolling stock”. “Metro fkn tunnel opened” Busy busy busy busy busy transport department

Wild day today, a car decided it wanted to be in the tram lane at the same time as the tram I was on. Which the tram naturally didn’t take too kindly to. Tram was barely scratched, car door no longer functions. (No injuries) I can’t help feel this says something about public transport yknow?

The MCG fascinates me conceptually, like it’s a stadium that’s several times a year at capacity (which is 95,000 and change for sports) And there’s minimal parking around - it’s almost entirely serviced by public transport and foot traffic Like it’s a logistical wonder IMO

TIL about the very sapphic birbs ☁️🪺🩵
SFW image. There's info in some boxes that says: "31% of the Laysan Albatross couples on Oahu, Hawaii are female-female pairs (wikipedia). These birds spend most of their lives flying over the sea, but they 're very likely to reunite with the same partner." We see two humanised versions of the bird sitting in their nest with an egg, one kind of straddling the other's lap. The one sitting on the lap says: "so how was the sea??" Her female partner says: "nice... but not nearly as nice as being with you."
