that was by far and away least engaged i've ever seen sydney in the melb's cup.
not even in an active "nup to the cup" way.
just complete disinterest. peddled through the city and didn't see a single messy cunt (bit early but still). pubs largely quiet.

LOL “The Victoria Racing Club argues active attempts were made to reduce crowd sizes after 2003, when it became clear that a crowd of over 120,000 people made for an uncomfortable day at the races.”
——-
things to loathe about the #MelbourneCup— animal cruelty
(yes, some horses naturally love to run, or even love to run faster than other horses, but i’ve never seen a horse in a paddock ask to be put down, whipped, have their tongue tied etc)
— drunks who inflict their yahoo behaviour on innocent bystanders
(no, i don’t mind people drinking, but it’s no excuse for bad behaviour)
— humourless wankers in ugly outfits
(i’m not naming names, but i bet you can think of some)
————-
and a special mention goes to the victoria racing club“The Flemington Racecourse flood wall could have increased water levels near homes by up to 3cm during floods in 2022. Melbourne Water says despite the impact, there is not enough evidence to remove the wall.”

Today is Victoria's second-most ridiculous public holiday (the most ridiculous is the day *before* the AFL Grand Final). Annoyingly the public hol also leaked into yesterday - it was a normal workday but the cafe I wanted to go to was closed. (Sigh) I hate public holidays.

It’s ‘Nup to the cup’ for me. It’s far more interesting to watch the National Party self-combust into a pretend reality with their rejection of net-zero, supported by a well rehearsed string of lies, even as tennis ball-sized hail smashes southern Queensland. But the greatest lie was hearing David ‘Spivweasel’ Littleproud smoothly claim the move would not put any pressure on his Liberal coalition leader Sussan Ley. The hail killed and injured many animals and birds as well as the usual homes, solar panels and cars. #auspol #climatechange #nuptothecup #MelbourneCup https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DSPgWgiL228

The #MelbourneCup track is going to be so heavy, making it even harder for those poor horses to carry jockeys over the huge 3.2kms race.
Stop this barbaric crap.

Another black coffee this morning has me feeling great. Ready for a 6:00 AM morning watch house shift, and then a day off for the #MelbourneCup public holiday. Bring it on!

Wow. #MelbourneCup brings such class to town. Walking in the CBD, I’ve already encountered well dressed drunk couple walking into traffic abusing cars honking at them.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@KatCopseyGreens/115455914502696087
Replace the horses with their millionaire and billionaire owners. Jockey on the back with a whip. Strict limits on the number of whippings the owner can receive during a race, say 50, we're not animals.
Same 3,200m distance, obviously allow a couple of hours for the race to complete.
Imagine the TV ratings, the size of the tote!

The Melbourne Cup is so much more than a public holiday and a horse race: it's a festival of cruelty to horses, gambling, family violence, and drink-driving.

Right, should get off Mastodon and move to the desk. In the usual freelancer way I'm working on todays's public holiday and complaining about the resulting surcharge at local cafes (if they're open).

168 horses died on Australian racetracks between 1/8/22 and 31/7/23 which was a 20% increase on the year before - it’s getting worse, not better.
Fuck the Melbourne Cup.

I always liked the Melbourne Cup as a big Melbourne cultural moment, but the animal deaths and the gambling has taken the shine off it.
(Though I do wonder about people worried about animal cruelty - who also eat meat. Just a thought.)

I think it's strange that people in the USA regard today — election day — as a regular workday, but here in Victoria we have a public holiday today for a horse race — Melbourne Cup.
