@AlexSaundersAU @NuggetsNewsAU Do you know Jacques Cousteau when they said on the radio
That he hears bells in random order, deep beneath the perfect water?
Love! That is frightening, but still so inviting.
To drown inside a sound that lay so far underground.
And to think... And to think:
This is perfect water

@AlexSaundersAU @NuggetsNewsAU The Blue Oyster Cult band is deep into this.
Perfect Water

Perfect water - the dark wind braids the waves that grays birds.
'Ware the tree. Is this our destiny?
To join our hands at sea - and slowly sink, and slowly think:
This is perfect water, passing over me.

@bowtiedstocks From Grok:
Uber AU reports | | Overall Australian Gig Economy | $6.3 bn (2019) → projected much higher | - | **18.9%** (2015–2023, highest globally). The broader gig platform economy grew at 18.9% CAGR – far outpacing traditional employment or GDP growth.

One of the biggest success stories of the past decade is DoorDash

We finally have the technology to make consumers pay $120 for a $78 meal that'll arrive in 53 minutes lukewarm

The enshittification of everything. It's hard to believe their was a time when the standard was free delivery, hot food, delivered in under 30 minutes, delivery driver was lucky to get 10% tip ($2 on a $20 order)

Now you get squeezed. You pay multiples more for food that isn't as good, service that isn't as good, an experience that isn't as good.

@puckrin November just took Bitcoin out back and beat it with a ugly stick -17%, worst since 2019. December’s walking in like “hold my eggnog, bro.”
Average +9-18% since 2014. Santa’s bringing gains or I’m eating the reindeer.

@rationalaussie Australia: “No worries” now means “worry, you’re absolutely rooted.”

Grab ya thongs & dignity. Rack off overseas before ya only asset is a Centrelink queue spot. Fair dinkum, RUN!

Melbourne’s “free PT” opening day just got Commonwealth Games’d 🌧️🎯

2022 precedent: 60k expected → 4am King Airs → biblical flash flood → event cancelled, headlines blame weather.

Today: 1.5M expected → same play!!

**Post 1/3**
Melbourne’s “perfect storm” thesis, part 1 🧵

They KNEW 1.5 million people would hit the Metro Tunnel opening + free PT today.
Internal PTV leak literally said: “expect absolute carnage”

So they did what they always do…

Metro Tunnel opening:
- 45 min queue to see escalators that are turned OFF 😂
- North Melbourne platform now officially a mosh pit 🍣🤘

John… out. 🇦🇺🚇🤡

[John the Wolfking of L.A @john_wolfking]

Metro Tunnel DAY ONE ABSOLUTE MAYHEM 🔥🚇

Anzac Station: 40-min queues just to ENTER 😱
North Melbourne: sardine-city platforms 🤯
Escalators OFF for “safety” while 1000s pile up 🫠

Free PT = biggest crowd EVER… and zero crowd plan 💥

Melbourne’s “free” weekend trains & trams (Nov–Feb)
Actual cost to taxpayers: $15M in lost fares 🚋💸

That’s $150k every weekend so the government can get a nice ribbon-cutting photo at the Metro Tunnel.

Your taxes, their PR.

[John the Wolfking of L.A @john_wolfking]

Melbourne just copped a proper rain flogging 🌧️💥
Roads underwater, free trams the only way out.

Funny how it started the exact second free public transport went live.

John… out. 🇦🇺
