Hope it stays open source going forward, especially given how it's built on the back of decades of hard work in x-ray crystallography.

Referendums generally fail, people don't like changing the constitution full stop. I know quite a few left-leaning people that voted no because they wanted the voice to he legislated but not constitutionally enshrined.

I thought a labor supermajority would be able to actually be slightly progressive without the fear of being voted out. Just goes to show how far they've drifted from their roots.

I've visited Carnac, it's true that these snakes are surprisingly placid! Such an interesting population - iirc David Attenborough filmed a segment about them about 20 years ago.

Amazing effort from Brisbane, well deserved!! First quarter was great as a neutral too.

He/she came right up to me! I was having lunch by the river and the little fella just ran up to me and started singing. They eat bugs and don't really scavenge off people so I don't think he was even after my food. He even hopped on my foot briefly!

 

Looking perpetually angry 😠

Trees. Please, please, please... trees.

Right?? It's so tone deaf. The only people I've seen in support of live exports are farmers... the one group with a vested financial interest in maintaining these exports.

So, the government's picking up the funding slack... right?

... right?

This album came out yesterday! All the music is written by Arjen Lucassen so it should be of interest to Ayreon fans.

 
 

I often go for date night around Freo and we're getting sick of going to the same places over and over (Frida Mexicana, Gage Roads, Mexican Kitchen, and Spice Market). If you have any favourite places around Freo to dine, I'd love to hear them! (Especially if you can walk away from them feeling like you didn't just get ripped off - a very difficult task in 2024!)

 

(Sorry Sydney fans) What an amazing finish by Freo. I was so sure it was going to be a draw.

 

The Haken thread I posted a while ago generated a bit of activity so I might try it again from time to time. Let's rank Leprous' albums in anticipation for Melodies of Atonement. Feel free to include their two demos if you know them (I do not)!

  1. Coal
  2. The Congregation
  3. Bilateral
  4. Pitfalls
  5. Malina
  6. Aphelion
  7. Tall Poppy Syndrome
 

Holocene is a slow burn but it's really been clicking for me after seeing these guys live. This was perhaps the highlight of the whole show.
