Rome is clearly making an effort to encourage cycling and make it safer and more comfortable.

Hello from the Testaccio neighbourhood in Rome.

A Melbourne vs Penrith grand final would be incredibly dull. A Melbourne vs Broncos grand final would be less dull. A Sharks vs Penrith grand final less dull again. A Sharks vs Broncos grand final least dull. First title for 9 or 19 years. Do the right thing, footy gods #nrl

It's the old right-wing playbook of demonizing the homeless, gutting programs and essential services that eradicate homelessness, then further demonizing them as a drain on resources and a threat to social cohesion. You can always judge a society on how they treat their most vulnerable citizens.

Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage? BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country. Lib Dems: So you're putting their people and policies under scrutiny, right? BBC: Lib Dems: Right?

Bulldogs running it close to being ruled out of the premiership conceding 46 points.

I mean the Panthers are the Collingwood of the NRL. Even their own fans secretly hate them #nrlfinals

It will be so sweet for the Broncos to end the Panthers' illegitimate rein #nrlfinals

Uh oh. Found a Collingwood fan

Raiders are Bernard Tomic. Out in straight sets. #nrlraiderssharks

Seeing Collingwood fans sad delights me

Did a free health check yesterday. Good news is my blood pressure is great. I'm fit. I am however carrying too much weight. I kinda knew that... but given the stress I'm feeling, and just losing my mum to heart disease, the heart health is welcome.

It's amazing how enthusiastic MAGA folks are about cancel culture these days...

My mum left us this week. I am heartbroken. But I'm also so filled with joy from all the memories and stories people have shared with me about her. She touched so many lives, as a friend, a teacher, a writer. Her celebration of life will be so colourful and joyful. Thanks for being you, Judi. ❤️

Madge Maguire did the meme. #NRLRaidersBroncos

It's yelling into the void but something tell me it just needs to kept being said: if you are still posting, RTing, or lurking on X, you are helping keep users there and you are helping this guy pull in advertising revenue. You are a volunteer worker for a slobbering, drug-addled white supremacist

Mum 💔 I'm going to miss you so much.

this is inciting violence

This is Musk actively inciting political violence.

"Your mum was unconscious and non responsive" is not the call you want to get from the nursing home... thankfully she is conscious again and going to hospital for tests and observations. Hopefully she'll be ok.

100x more death and injury from SUVs and cars - but we don’t see BBC articles on it, with quotes from surgeons - because sadly it has been normalised We need to talk about this much more

Donald Trump calming things down after the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

Really annoying hearing fence sitting centrist radio announcers like Ellen Fanning trying to sanitise Charlie Kirk's divisive legacy. Clearly unaware of the tolerance paradox.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

This chart from @safeclimate.bsky.social ate.bsky.social is a beautiful work of art — and a horrifying observation of our warming planet 🧪

Spain, Ireland and now Slovenia saying they will not participate in Eurovision this year if Isreal remains a participant

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

This is awful. Worst gun violence news out of America today

Vehicular Cycling is what you do survive Safe Streets is what we do to thrive

These people genuinely know nothing of the history—white conservative state & vigilante violence has been arguably *the defining feature* of U.S. history. They apparently also know very little of the present, in which, again, the very opposite is the case.

lmao holy shit

Guess Charlie Kirk found out. No loss.

Evolution (abridged)

You can put up signs saying BUS ONLY You can write BUS ONLY on the pavement You can paint the pavement RED Nothing short of physical barriers will prevent drivers from using the bus only turn lane anyway. The only solution is automated enforcement, or perhaps some sort of car crushing machine.

Australia would be a better place had Howard never been born. A contemptible human who will not deserve any of the bullshit fawning eulogies he will get.

Raiders can't win the title. The race is down to 6. #nrldolphinsraiders

Motor vehicles have killed more people than any other non-weapon invented by mankind. It fits Dexter Morgan's code.

If you want a barometer of the average Australian driver's attitude to cyclists, take a ride in Camira on the border of Brisbane/Ipswich. Riding primary on approach to a roundabout with pinch points was met with rage. Nearly being run off the road overtaken downhill on a corner was also fun.

Hi all my new followers. Can you tell me which starter pack recommended me? I'm flattered people are interested in the rantings of a Brisbane rugby league fan with an urbanist twist!
