I love the idea of trams returning to Bendigo & Geelong & Ballarat and building up the density in their CBDs so it’s realistic to live there without a car - but a 1km long tram route is taking the piss. 10km, yes, not 1km. I can walk 1km in 15 min, what’s the fucken point

@decryption the original source of this article is AI slop posted 2 weeks ago by the CEO of Bendigo heritage. He should be embarrassed.
- Why does the map show the tram extending _across_ the railway to the joss house. This one aspect would cost hundreds of millions of $ for a bridge over/under, and isn't even mentioned in the slop
- Why does it need _one_ lane to be reallocated? The central median (and even the poles!) is still there from the old system. Single track & no poles is free. Or double track, but that's two lanes not one.

I got the same horrid ESPN commentator who appears to believe there is a Liverpool player named "Jacket".

In the summer I’m really not tempted to take outdoor breaks at the office, but today was gloriously cool, jacket weather in the morning, and still nice and breezy this afternoon. So I walked around and saw some cool stuff. This northern paper wasp has such lovely markings. To my eyes, it looked like that whole broad stripe was bronze, but zooming in, I see it’s just a small splotch of yellow and bronze.

@dillyd I really love northern paper wasps. And actually recently picked up some postal stamps featuring them!
@vruz it’s definitely something. I would be calling out in press conferences. Not like they’ll do worse by us.
Turns out that that teams earn the name "Dirty Leeds" even at U16 academy level ⚽
3 yellows and 1 red for the team my daughter was playing against today, egged on by their coach. Shocking.
Let's hope the girls who went off aren't seriously injured.

Had a lot of fun at the Geology Park 😊 Got to tell stories about flintstone giants, Vishnu raising the Earth from under the ocean, petrified fairy coins, and some more flint (the park has a flint quarry from prehistoric times). I also got to look at the layers of Triassic (Dachstein) and Jurasssic limestone, and the fossils in them. The cow hoof shaped shells are Megalodus shells; in folklore they are sometimes associated with Wild Women.

Good combinations, and Barcola looking consistently threatening. Isak still slow to react or make a difference.
Something a bit different today: I've written a book! It's nothing to do with the Fediverse, but the money from it keeps my Fediverse accounts and sites going.
It's about real life mysteries (so no UFOs, no ghosts, no conspiracy theories etc). The book is DRM-free, price is "Pay what you want, minimum 1 euro", find out more at:
It's 100% human-made, zero AI of any kind.
(If you need a free open source eBook reader app try Readest. The book also works with eReaders.)
@FediTips this is so awesome! I'm going to make a Payhip account just to buy.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Bridgewater’s CIO was on Odd Lots yesterday talking about AI risks and said, essentially, that if you want AI development to go at a safe space, make sure the AI companies are liable for harms. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/odd-lots/id1056200096?i=1000789010725

I felt like playing with color this evening, so I tried another version of my book-stack prints. They didn’t come out the way I want, but I had fun both with them and with using up some of the extra ink I’d mixed. #EntingPrints
