I feel like the least realistic thing in Only Murders in the Building is how quickly the guys respond to Mabel's messages. I'm lucky if my cycling buddies respond within a week sometimes...

We know frontier artificial intelligence models could pose serious risks to the world - if you think the precautionary principle should apply here consider signing this petition: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

About time. This police officer who punched an unarmed, slight, non-violent woman has been still on the job for 3 months. Really makes you feel safe. Also probably would have gotten away with it if not for Hannah's high profile. How often do they get away with it??

This story is *wild*! Public servants in the roads arm of Sydney's transport authority admit they MISLED their Minister so they could quietly cut planned walking, cycling and safety improvements at a major city intersection:

Went out to the PM's house at Kirribilli to protest the rubbish climate "targets" the government announced last week. Great speech from @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social and a lot of amazing climate activists 💚 Protesting is scary, but 50 degree weather, floods and famine are scarier!

Just answered this one (tried to at least!) www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

I don't understand how this isn't bigger news. That the US is just straight up assassinating people on random boats and claiming they are drug traffickers? I mean, even if they were, jail time should be the answer, not murder?? Also.. no legal system involved here? Fucking terrifying!

Ok, that's enough internet for me today

OK I sat still long enough to come down a bit off my high from my good cycling week last week somehow. But I did go for nice walkies yesterday and found this beautiful wisteria in a park nearby. I moved at just the wrong time that I've not seen these flower for about 18 months #bloomscrolling

Only 4 days left before the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle sale ends, and about $8,000USD away from hitting $100k USD. Please RT and help push this as far and to as many people as possible for this last stretch. Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

Cities are for the people that live there! For decades we have designed and destroyed our cities for commuters. We cannot continue to double down on building for people only coming to work in our cities. We have to reorient our cities around those who live and work here!

I've been to so many places today around Sydney and honestly I could not have gone to all these and still had time for work if I'd driven (or caught public transport). Cycling to/from my appointments today has legit been the fastest way to get around without wasting time..

The SBS contact number is +61-1800-500-727

So much 💩 going on around the world lately. But.. I am having quite a good week. Getting so much work done, bunch of positive cycling/transport advocacy going well, and I *think* I just coordinated a way to (not stalkery) meet one of my fav metal singers when they tour here next year. So many wins!

Got home from an evening out and my cat smells oddly like perfume 🧐 This is really disconcerting

Well, honestly thought I'd get crowds of people on the bike bus today because we had permission to cycle through the old power station. Only a handful showed up *sigh* 🙃 Did get our MP though! Thanks @kobishettymp.bsky.social

If Labor fails to set a science-based climate target then it’s crystal clear: they have utterly prioritised coal and gas profits at the expense of community safety and nature.

Somehow I just noticed how trans-coloured the Beyond Compare merge tool is. Is this on purpose? Kinda cool

Cheery stuff. And yet we keep opening more coal mines and massive gas projects. I don't understand how money can be so much more important than lives.

The race is on, will I get back home from Kiama first, or will they get a new MP first??

OK I had 0% to do with the successful advocacy for this cycleway, I just showed up to the opening day out of curiosity, but made it into the video, lol. Good work to everyone who worked hard to get this bike path opened. www.youtube.com/shorts/HGmOl...

I have some regrets about agreeing to volunteer for the Kiama election before checking the state of the south coast trainline...

🇪🇸🥳💪 Come on Australia, you next.

Damn, no Evanescence side-show in Sydney for me, sold out in 90 seconds, while I'm stuck in the online queue for > 15 minutes..

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

YES! One of my favourite bands, who somehow just keep getting better over the decades. Loving this trend of my EU bands coming to Aus 🤘

Fantastic piece by @jasonhickel.bsky.social outlining the necessary socialist program for finally wrenching control of production away from capital and towards the needs of actual human beings and the planet that underwrites our survival. Absolutely essential stuff. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/can-...

Nice, at least one of the countries I'm a citizen of is acting with a conscience.

Yay Hannah!

I am clearly too old to drink more than a few drinks on a Sunday night. Today has been... not amazing.

FML, bike bus day (wednesday) is cursed. I really never expected to have to wear my wet weather cycling gear so much after returning from the Netherlands.

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

OK, I think I may have finally got the unpacking under control enough that my parents won't be super judgemental tomorrow (and they'll actually be able to fit down the corridor without tripping over boxes). Yuki is loving it all though.

OK WHAT. This is awesome! Teenage Rebecca was obsessed with Evanescence and then early twenties Rebecca worked as a film projectionist. It's like someone created this music video just for me 🖤🤘 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rS8...

Blood donation time again! And what a wholesome whiteboard in the snack room afterwards. It's so easy to give blood if you're eligible, and there's so many good snacks they give you after!

Lol, favourite thing about the new house is the way Yuki is able to glare at me demandingly from inside while I'm faffing about trying to lock up my bike after getting home.

I actually accidentally ran into/met Stephen this morning at the cafe where we were having our sustainable transport meeting (he then joined us, lol). Sounds like an interesting documentary and still lots of tickets left apparently.

Looks like Nixxes job security to me 😉

Every night I'm like - yes, tonight is the night I get time to play a video game. And instead here I am at 9pm sending emails about bike lanes..

Workers shouldn't have to beg for basic protections from AI displacement. I’m concerned that despite summits and roundtables with the ACTU and others, workers are still waiting for actual laws that guarantee consultation while job-destroying tech gets rolled out.

Yeah, posting this on the same day you approve a new coal mine is a great look, well done...

The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle is now live! Nearly 400 games from creators all around the world, with proceeds going directly to Gaza relief efforts. Bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... We made a launch trailer to celebrate this moment👇 Please RT.

In the midst of all the DEI rollbacks at US companies after Trump's 2nd term started, I'm really happy that Sony Interactive Entertainment is actually increasing their efforts instead. Makes me proud to work for PlayStation ☺️

Thoughts brought to you by me just cycling home and having to cross a massive highway - why on earth are the tunnels toll roads and not the above ground roads? There's a dedicated car-only space under my feet and yet all the cars are up here alongside my fragile self because it's cheaper..

Ok, living in the Prime Minister's electorate is weird

OK, not sure I've really nailed the new cycle route to work yet, since it involved a bit of a shit section of weaving between cars, but I do think I actually got to work faster than from my old place despite being slightly further away now.

I hate these headlines. This does Jack a terrible injustice. He was murdered by irresponsible road & vehicle infrastructure & policies. "Out of control" car, like it's a horse with a mind of it's own. Reducing car usage, especially SUVs like the weapon used to kill Jack, will do a lot to save lives.

ScreenNSW has opened up a GCAP travel support program to support up to 5 emerging to mid games practitioners with $1,000 to support their attendance. GCAP is happening from October 6 - October 8 www.screen.nsw.gov.au/funding-supp... The program opened today and will close on September 2nd at 2PM.

Time to troll the local Facebook group with this footage of overtaking the morning rush by bike, on the way to work last week

So unbelievably proud of TJ for sharing her story and becoming a champion in the fight against Rare and less common cancers. Such a staggering amount of bravery and fortitude. www.smh.com.au/national/ten...
