Did not realise we were missing out this bad.

Capital City Trail works @ Royal Park Bridge, Parkville btw late June to July 2026: 'Bike riders and pedestrians will detour via Manningham Street, Oak Street and Poplar Road' www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/capital-city...

this is so insane

Don’t think this would go down this way in Australia.

There’s something beautiful in the way we do it. It’s like an Attenborough documentary where a sick hartebeest limps down to the water and then is rent in twain simultaneously by both a cheetah and a crocodile.

Starmer being able to lay out his own departure timetable (potentially over months!) is silly. You don't give a PM a farewell tour, you do the numbers over the weekend, roll him at 10am, and tell the voters he's gone to live on a nice farm in the country. You amateurs. You absolute toddlers.

@drdrehistorian.bsky.social are they pulling ahead of us at our worst now?

How many votes are you getting folks? A little unclear but I think I'm on four.

They should make it illegal to murder someone even if they’re on a bike, imo

BBC News went live to Cabo Verde and then Cabo Verde scored a goal. Absolute scenes.

what do you think the news would have looked like if Joe Biden sent this many forces to Wyoming or something

President Trump is actually jealous of Belgium for at least getting a tie against Iran.

this "hard" word is in a YA book series that I read as a young adult, and I don't think I even looked it up! context was all that was needed! pillocks (word from Protector of the Small, Tamora Pierce)

fam, we are absolutely fucked

Yeah it’s not going great and it’s going to get worse because the media loves Hanson because Ha Ha Funni And Wacky just like with Trump

the right-wing populist mindvirus has basically hit every major Anglosphere nation besides Canada, and I suspect we're likely to get our own version if Pierre implodes in the next year or so

Smurfs are cute but I bet if you live in Australia you get used to seeing them get hit by cars

Good weather for a ride today.

This! If it's a word you don't know look it up and learn. You don't even need to own a dictionary any more. So tired of catering to people who avoid thinking.

Authors using words I don’t know is how I’ve learned many words.

Starmer is going to go down as the single most juiceless politician in history, imagine winning a national landslide and then being so bloody useless they threw you out a window less than halfway through the term

luckily for me spotlight is constantly failing to index anything at all and so this breaks at step 2 by searching in finder instead

found a guy on the local LLM subreddit who tests open source models running on his computer by asking the program to animate a doner kebab on a spit

These are beginning to annoy me.

Like the UK has spies and missiles and nuclear deterrents and shit, the range of options available to them to object to Musk’s actions are slightly broader than that of a elder millennial with a media job in NYC

The Russians entered this war on the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody and nobody was going to bomb them.

A power Moscow respects targeting the capital? Fair enough. They have lived under the fear of nuclear bombardment from the West for a very long time. A vassal they believe is a fake country doing it? It is humiliating and terrifying

Critical Mass: Moonee Valley, 5.30pm, Fri 26 June @ State Lib, Swanston St, Melb. Ride scoot skate for active transport infra in Moonee Valley & public housing in Flemington! 3 pick up points North Melb, Flemington & Moonee Ponds. Route + more details: criticalmass.melbourne

as a leading writer on Glonzo issues, i think it might be useful to draw a distinction between fake problems and merely bad solutions what i mean is that a "Glonzo issue" best describes a situation where the supposed problem *doesn't exist* and thus any supposed solution is pointless from the start

I encourage anyone who needs exposure therapy to this reality to get into parking reform

Greenland gotta be pissed we didn’t invade there, think of the deal they could have gotten

I grieve with thee, for we hardly knew her. The Golden Mile, 2026 ❤️

i've had enough. wellington, i'm starting an urbanist lobbying group. writing councillors, pushing for projects, pushing against the managed decline of the city. i already have a meeting place. all i need is you. will you join me?

Its incredible that Ukraine appears to be winning the conventional war with Russia

I feel like an important aspect of enshitification is that everything has autoplay now

these are the most fun parts of a chotiner interview

SA Labor politicians voting to restrict access to abortion - absolutely atrocious. These people are demonstrating in real time that they will not challenge the far right, but will instead take up their positions if and when it suits them.

If you think making people post under their real names will make them civil, I encourage you to attend an upzoning public comment meeting.

The most secure cryptographic protocol in the world will not stop the fed in your group chat from being a fed, or some guy from not putting a passcode on his phone and leaving it at the bar. This is not Signal’s fault and in fact has nothing to do with Signal at all

Look guys at a certain point, you need to realize theres no surer way to get views than saying "im surprised i loved america" in america and that includes farenheit. No one is stoked about farenheit

Ukrainian drones have hit the Moscow oil refinery. It’s burning. This is a big one - the refinery provides 40% of fuel for Moscow and the wider oblast. #explodey

You made sure not to publish our secret group of perverts right? Don’t worry boss it’s set to `display: none`

all the laid off coders mixing with perpetually laid off journalists might, one day, lead to the launch of a publication whose CMS doesn't suck shit to use

amazing that support is this low to a question framed like this really

What actual changes does this propose? These are already very heavily restricted.
