So, so sad. One of the good ones. #JohnnyYoung deserves a state funeral.. I’ve written an email to the state government. See below, if you need inspiration…

Gen X-ers! icymi.. Stunning collab between #RobertSmith from #TheCure & #OliviaRodrigo. She’s been influenced by his work, a fan for life and this song works perfectly for both of them. It’s just like heaven (see what I did there?) #GenX @robert.thecure.com @thecure.com youtu.be/oOEGRpfitAg?...

Jacinta Allan says that “the state of our democracy” is “precarious” in 2026. “Social cohesion is under pressure.. difference is treated at danger.. anger is amplified, fiction becomes real before truth has had a chance.. fears are being manipulated.. we cannot let this happen..”
Feeling so sad about the death of #JohnnyYoung. Such a kind, gentle host, giving the Young Talent Time team members the supporting platform to shine, while us fans, glued to the telly, dreamt of being one of them. Alas, I only achieved studio audience status. #YTT: the backbone of my childhood.

And the same on the Hume between Tallarook and Euroa. Take care. 🙏🙏❤️💙
I don’t really understand how it has to be like that. I drove all over South Africa a few years ago, which is much poorer, has higher traffic volumes and there were zero potholes on major roads let alone the craters we have! It’s curious and very not ok.
Yep, was on the Goulburn Hwy between Shep and Seymour a month ago and there was a car with a flat tyre in the emergency lane every 10min of travel.
POTHOLES: Princes Fwy yesterday, The Calder today "Macedon Ranges resident John told ABC Central Victoria at least 7 cars with damaged tyres were lined up on the side of the Calder Fwy between Gisborne & Sunbury about 6.30am. Another 3 were pulled over on the off-ramp" www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
Potholes force cars off Calder Freeway as Victorian road anger rises

Yep Collingwood get the wildcard final, and WHAT A GAME! I enjoyed that. Some moments from the Eagles were impressive, while young players from the Pies did well. Also, Tongala’s own Harley Reid: Love his star power (draft pick 1, from northern Vic - 1 & 1/4 hours north of #Bendigo) #AFLEaglesPies
glassdarkly@dyode.bsky.social · last wk.Been entertaining match. A bit kick to kick at times but Eagles have fought valiantly. Reid a bit crippled. Schultz kamikaze always good. Pies lock in a top 10 spot now apparently. #AFLEaglesPies
Just found out Melbourne beat Freo by four points!! WOW! Highlights here we come #AFL
Without judgement either way… this is a good yarn from my boy Harrison Tippet.
