“[M]ost cyclists were also motorists and so already funded the TAC through car registration fees. … [I]f non-drivers were asked to provide TAC funding then it would have to extend to pedestrians and public transport users, because they were also at risk of being injured by a car.” Harry Barber poking holes in a few of motorists’ favourite arguments for bicycle ‘registration’.

semisetadrift: buyhercandy: The awesome poster for Matt & Kim’s upcoming Australian tour. Popfrenzy always have the best posters. They help restore my faith in Australian gig poster design. I like this poster. But nothing can repair the damage done by years of Streetparty.

kristenisfornerd: walpaper: tumbl-me: walpaper: This is an awesome timeline theory for Primer (2004). Primer is one of the best films I’ve seen in the last five years. I do love time travel. Click for the readable version. via kottke This whole Primer business has blown up all over the place recently, so I decided to check it out myself a few weeks ago since it is about something that I am interested in. I did watch it twice in two days just like everyone else on earth seemingly has, but only to clear up one scene in the film. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about exactly why my mind was not blown by this movie like everybody else’s was. I thought maybe I wasn’t ‘getting it’. I found this chart online, and realized that no, I did understand perfectly, except the timelines I had in my head were much simpler and less redundant (nine timelines not counting the perfecting of the shotgun situation? More like 6! AmIRiteLadies?). I don’t know, maybe it’s because I read too much theory on actual time travel and paradoxes that it just didn’t phase me. Also, their boxes worked much better as cloning machines than time machines. Agreed. I don’t think it works perfectly as a film. Everything needed to tell the story and solve the puzzle is NOT on screen. My enthusiasm and admiration come more from its low budget filmmaking and the process in which it was made. But that’s the reason it DOES work perfectly.  It confuses, challenges and makes its viewers think.  How many films do that nowadays?  I’ve seen it close to 10 times and I’m still confused.  I love that.  I respect that. Same goes for Darko- Time travel, alternative universes, wormholes, Christ-figure, superhero? I like any movie that requires a blow-up timeline diagram like this — maybe I should see Primer? It did feature in that list of mindfuck movies afterall…

mburke8: dylicious: Does anybody else think that this “New Facebook Home Page” thing looks a bit like Tumblr? Yeah, down to the rounded avatar corners.  You know they’ll find a way to screw even that up. Facebook are turning into the Microsoft of social networking (if that’s possible). Basically they’ll do as many revisions as it takes to incorporate MySpace, Twitter, Tumblr and anything else they think is worthwhile into their site. Forgetting, in the process, that what makes each of these sites work (except MySpace, which doesn’t work), is that they have something unique and don’t try to be everything to everyone. Remember when ease of use was Facebook’s thing?

Company of Thieves - Oscar Wilde.

Perhaps the band have been keeping company with thieves for too long as it seems they entirely ripped off Wes Anderson’s Rushmore in this clip. Well, that’s ok. We all know Wes loves a good homage or two.
