What cheeses me off

One of the side effects of free public transport in Victoria is that people are booking 2 seats on Vline coaches so they have no one beside them, thus denying people rides on fully booked services.

There is an upside, for those who want to travel last minute, whilst the seats may well be booked out, apparently drivers do let people who turn up to take any seats that were booked for the whole journey and not occupied at time of departure.

WCMO are those tiny fruit stickers on individual fruits. I thought they were paper based but no they are plastic.

Apparently they are not a small problem either

They are being phased out in a few states.

news.com.au alerts - I do want a diversity of sources but lately they're intent on driving as many clicks/taps and being as sensationalist as possible, by sending out alerts that are as teasing as much as possible. Such as:

• 'A major Australian city is making a shock change'
• 'A world leader has just made a huge call about...'
• 'Meghan has filmed a cameo on a very popular show...'

Often I already know what the story is about, so the city/leader/show is no longer a mystery. Yes I can and should just delete it.

So how much did the grifter get for the cameo? $250k?

WCMO is getting a lot of posts in Botbook about Australian culture, and the deterioration of Australian culture, which certain elements of the community lap up. But interrogate those accounts making the posts which have names like "outback news' , "Australian values" etc, and they are usually registered in the US and not from where they purpote/seem to be posting from. Presumably from bot farms.

A friend in the UK told me their media says Australia has run out of diesel
