A Gladiator Finds His Arena The ball soared over the towering fence and landed right in front of me as I walked down a pedestrian only cobblestone street in Abbesses. It was the size of a football (soccer, if you're basic) but ...

Absolutely fighting for my life outside a primary school in Paris trying to return a ball to the kids who kicked it over the Jurassic Park sized playground fence. Also: some shortlist admin and world is fuky. My newsletter this week. Sign up, si tu aimes. rick-morton.ghost.io/a-gladiator-...

ruddock's fantasy cabinet where every position is him

saw phillip ruddock on the street the other day, and it reminded me of the fantasy cabinet @nickevershed.bsky.social and i made almost 10 years ago for the guardian, where this was his selection: x.com/philipruddoc...

An incredible textbook cover:

it is my destiny to become the first person driven psychotic by the RBAPubChat

without active reinforcement of the identity I mean.

I think it reflects a deep anxiety that being ‘Australian’ is a very shallow and new thing and could float away easily over time.

I would be so pissed being the Brisbane Catholic Archbishop and knowing the Anglicans had a fancier cathedral than you. ‘That’s not even your thing!!!!!’

This bit was given the tick of approval from my Mum.

Book extract: ‘It is a sobering thing, at just thirty, to have outlived the landmarks of your youth. And to have them go, not in some violent cataclysm, an act of God, or under the fury of bombardment, but in the quiet way of our generation: by council ordinance and by-law; through shady land deals; in the name of order, and progress, and in contempt (or is it small-town embar-rassment?) of all that is untidy and shabbily individual. Brisbane was on the way to becoming a minor metropolis. In ten years it would look impressively like everywhere else. The thought must have depressed Johnno even more than it did me. There wasn't enough of the old Brisbane for him to hate even, let alone destroy. The others had got in before him.’

I was at the Gabba feeling sad about the bloody Olympics and flicked through some David Malouf realising nothing has changed. This despite the stories Brisbanites tell themselves about how they finally stopped the cult of development after the loss of the Bellevue Hotel and Cloudland.

Absolutely NO Sisyphian punishments

a. post from r/ grad school, asking "how to code a dream/hallucination in APA 7th?" and then someone comments "what?" and the OP replies "i want to include something that was revealed to me in a vision in one of my research papers. but i do not know how to cite it."

There are certain queer times in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke

the novelisation of the Bluey movie is just under 350 pages and has a long section about how the expansion of Brisbane's public transport for the 2032 olympics will raise the crime rate and sink the Heeler’s property value

Lots of great things in this book (one Kate Bush example: gaffa.org/intro/intro....)

Thanks PCPowerplay for that Cities in Motion review!

A screenshot from the transcript of the Movie Show review of 'The Replacements' from 2000

RIP the legendary David Stratton who not only was monitored by ASIO for suspected communist sympathies but also once gave a film - 'The Replacements' - zero stars because "It is a film which celebrates strike-breakers and scabs". Read the transcript here: letterboxd.com/margaret_dav...

A Wikipedia edit showing "very windy" being added as a kind of vandalism.

I mean they aren’t wrong.
