Russians are freezing as Putin murders Ukrainian 🇺🇦 children. youtu.be/MTtJxGIzhWk?...

Trump again shows that he is working for Putin. But not even he and his corrupt regime can save the Putin regime.

The response of American Christians to the rise of MAGA fascism bears similarities to German Christians’ response to the rise of the Nazis. Some courageous German Christians confronted evil, but most went along. They attended church on Sunday while supporting the operators of the death camps. 🧵 1/

Poland just deployed 10,000 troops after Russia blew up a rail line carrying aid to Ukraine. The response marks a shift: Poland calls it "state terrorism," closes Russia's last consulate, and promises actions "more than just diplomatic" euromaidanpress.com/2025/11/20/p...

"The US and Russia are drafting a secret 28‑point peace plan to end the war in Ukraine — without Kyiv’s input." ... because Russia is losing.

Over my dead body.

I was happy to see “one trick pony” Brad Battin MP be deposed as Liberal leader because I believe in justice for victims, and not in spin from politicians about being “tough on crime”. Here’s the sequence of events that informed my view: …2 of 15

Brad Battin MP, former Victorian Liberal Party leader, declined to be interviewed by me for my forthcoming book about the hit-run attack in Rob Clarke in Apr 2023, and a subsequent knife attack in Feb 2024 while the person was on bail GRANTED BY POLICE not a magistrate. Post coming later today.

This is what happens when your staff keep evidence of an indictable offence from Victoria Police, where you used to work. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Looks like history caught up with Brad ...

I am watching this. With my justice hat on.

Wow. Just wow. So very powerful. And such courage. Standing up for others, and for what is right. Thank you.

Cars have rewired people's brains.

Someone’s getting deported to El Salvador …

Not just tragic but also preventable.

When more people cycle, it becomes relatively safer for each individual. Not necessarily fewer accidents overall, but the risk of accidents per person decreases. #MobilityIsEquity #PoliticalWill www.nrk.no/stor-oslo/os...

Corruption. I'm not afraid to say it.

The surviving Palestinians in the "red zone" will of course remain imprisoned—persecuted and tortured and starving and dying among the devastation—at the behest of their oppressor, and Israel will continue to murder and kidnap Palestinians at will. At least 680,000 dead, for this.

“What would Jesus buy?”

Once again, Australia lags so far behind Europe. I’d just be happy with safe drivers in safe vehicles at safe speeds on safe road infrastructure. But that’s just me. Bring on the birds!

More hard hitting journalism from the ABC in Australia. While this is a good human interest story, people are still starving in Gaza. And Russia is in economic collapse. And Trump is again being considered for impeachment. But a great story about vintage tractors.

Dress for the bike lanes you want, not the bike lanes you have 😎

“A 27-year-old speedway car driver had an on-track collision in the demolition derby before his vehicle crashed through the fence and into the crowd, NSW police said.” How the hell is a demolition derby allowed to take place with a fence that is not adequate to protect spectators? How the hell?

Me too.

I stopped reading at “country song”.

Victorian Opposition leader Brad Battin refuses to guarantee that he will be the leader of the Vic Liberals at the next state election. PK “you can’t guarantee it right?”💥 No he cannot. More #Libspills 🎪 on the way. #Abc

Watch this space ...

This is next level funny! youtu.be/hx-qKVVxGLw?...

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

After exactly a year in my new apartment, time for new laundry and washing up liquid bottles. Life sometimes has such symmetry.

“Your generosity will fund cardiology equipment that saves lives.” So will my taxes.

Almost a redundant sign when in the cardiac centre waiting room (just a checkup, no coughing involved I hope).

This is a Russian port near Crimea today.

🦩 BBC Earth presents: the migrating Ukrainian Flamingo, with David Attenborough. See a flock of Ukrainian Flamingos migrating east for the winter. They will nest in oil refineries, ammo depots, and other suddenly-warm places throughout the Russian swamps. Nature is beautiful🥹

It’s pretty depressing that the only reference many Americans have to a pedestrianized market street is Disneyland. You don't even need to look to other countries — we have examples of thriving pedestrian markets here in the USA, who happily shared their advice with us when we reached out to them

most electric SUVs can hit 30 mph in under 2 seconds

Oh. That’s an interesting Russian connection to Trump and to Epstein. I can’t wait for Putin to finish losing the war he started in Ukraine.

Yesterday I requested an interview with Brad Battin MP, leader of the Victorian Liberal Party and Opposition Leader in the Victorian Parliament. If I don't get to put my questions to him directly, then I will publish them here. @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @theguardian.com @bicyclensw.bsky.social

Walked home from the train station. Couldn’t see my cheap commuter bike in the courtyard. Then remembered that I had parked it at the train station. Oops.

This morning the prosecutor said the charges would be UPGRADED but they were then downgraded. A source informed me that “a POLICE SERGEANT INTERJECTED THEMSELVES INTO THE CASE”. Do not trust Victoria Police to adequately or fairly enforce the law.

If you run down a cyclist you’ll only get a slap on the wrist for dangerous driving and for not stopping. Today Leanne De Baize just got away with deliberately trying to kill cyclist Rob Clarke. The video link is www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04... /2

“Victoria Police works to keep you and your community safe ..” Let’s see if these are just hollow words, or a commitment to justice and the rule of law. Charge drivers with the actual crimes they commit, or resign and get an easier job.

Attending the 12th mention in the deliberate hit-run by driver Leanne De Baize of cyclist Rob Clarke over 2 1/2 years ago. She’s now in jail for stabbing her aunt while on bail. Let’s see if Victoria Police add driving while unlicensed and attempted murder to the charges.

The Lexus ad where they show a family over the years & their car goes from a reasonable sedan to a bloated SUV with oversized hood by the end. It accidentally tells the story of why pedestrian fatalities have been rising.

@annaholligan.bsky.social This may be of interest to the UK cycling community. The driver who was never charged after he killed Mike Hall in Australia on 31 Mar 2017 was just jailed for sexual assault and soliciting an 11yo girl 3 years later. Lack of consequences! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
