I had to laugh: “Pro-life leader dies, 94” So, that’s a fail. Perhaps the title should have been “anti-abortion activist dies”. Just saying.

Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Geneva ended abruptly on Wednesday after only two hours, with Zelenskiy saying that the discussions had been "difficult" and accusing Russia of deliberately seeking to delay progress toward a deal to end the four-year-old war www.reuters.com/business/aer...

And with that, Ukraine has just extended the 'kill zone' from the 15 kilometres between the front lines of the two sides to any where behind the Russian lines. And with that, Ukraine ushers in the collapse of the Russian front line. It's 1917 deja vu, all over again.

🇮🇪 National Transport Authority, justifying its support for a billion-Euro bridge to serve car commuters in Galway: 'bike lanes delay traffic, so motorists must be compensated with extra space'. NTA, cancelling a new bike bridge: “we no longer see the viability of another crossing over the Corrib.”

Canada is PROUD of its multiculturalism. Pauline is as wrong as she is stupid. And she knows NOTHING about Islam or about Muslims or about Gaza, going by her ignorant comments.

LOL. I too often say, "Do you know who I am?"

Titanium Tom visits Parliament in Melbourne

The Colbert interview that CBS preemptively blocked before the FCC could shut it down has already crossed 1.5 million views on YouTube.

Don Jr in another business venture?

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Was excited to see this story about Nick McKenzie who has 20 Walkley (Australian journalism) Awards. What a joke. I offered him a lead about Australian Federal Police corruption, but he told me that if no money changed hands then it wasn't corruption. What an idiot. youtu.be/COw5u6Ofd8I?...

I will never accept this language: pedestrian killed in “a collision with a semi”. No, the driver of the semi-trailer struck the pedestrian (person walking) with their semi.

Putin's forces at the front get hammered while Russian cities go dark. youtu.be/F34cOLzhdow

The world: “Secretary Rubio, do you support good or evil? Do you support a free and secure Ukraine 🇺🇦 or a murderous Russia?” Rubio: "All we're trying to do is play a role. We're not trying to force a deal on anyone.”

“A deal” is not the same as “a just peace”.

👇👇👇👇

Another classic!

LOL but also 'sad face emoji'.

Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

Yes, we all do this. LOL (true in theory however cars dumped in bike lanes never get towed because Victoria Police say "they aren't blocking traffic".)

"The training will involve ‘understanding of Jewish peoplehood, their attachment to Israel and identity beyond faith’ – the characteristically unclear phrasing of the government’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism Jillian Segal." No mention of genocide, ethnic cleansing or international law.

One Nation, Liberals, Labor, they are all the same. They refuse to take on corporate power, refuse to invest in public housing and essential public goods, then play politics with immigration to divide and distract us.

Ukraine's drones are flying all across Russia again tonight, completing a massive 24 hour attack. Monitors in the Terrorist State estimate almost 100 UAVs are in the Federation's air space already.

I don’t know how many people join Bluesky each day, but my sense is that more & more people are discovering the outstanding community/conversation here (best on social media) about better cities. I still think STARTER PACKS are a superpower. I’ve made many, but here’s my first again. Please share.

“… the Epstein class is out to collapse/ break public things to make a profit and legacy media are clueless to the fact.” Or, more accurately, legacy media are part of the Epstein class.

Bicycles will save the planet.

Trump is selling out our kids’ future so his fossil fuel billionaire friends can get even richer. The science is clear. Climate change is an existential threat to the planet. We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels and into sustainable energies.

We’ve all trained ourselves to see car infrastructure as “normal” — and therefore its costs as invisible. Roads aren’t expensive, they’re just there. Parking spaces aren’t subsidies, they’re just “necessary”. But a bus that runs on demand? That’s “spending taxpayer money”.

Sing it loud Cher!

Note also that it was the actions of the (irritated and impatient) drivers that was threatening to cause the accidents. Time for Australia to grow up.

Is he still alive? Or has an impatient or distracted driver liked him yet? Asking for a dead friend.

From pride to fear – how police violence changed how we see Australia johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

Watching online in Melbourne and realising this was actually filmed in Melbourne a few hours ago. This team is always worth a listen. youtu.be/L928ezytdz4?...

Ukrposhta has released a new stamp that pays tribute to Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych and his helmet of remembrance at the Milan/Cortina Olympic Games. The image takes us back to the start of the war when Ukrainian soldiers refused to abandon Zmiinyi (Snake) Island.

“We want people who come to this country to believe in our core WHITE values.” The wannabe racist who wants to be the next prime minister of Australia.

The man who wants to be the next Prime Minister of Australia hasn’t been convicted of 34 felonies … because Australia doesn’t even bother bringing charges against current/former/future politicians. At least that’s one thing America is better at than us.

“Maybe we should stop worrying about the screens kids are on, and start worrying about the screens adults are on.” Tom Flood

Well done to the Leicester Mercury for reporting the story with this angle.

Ukrainian 🇺🇦 lives are MUCH more important than any Olympics. No grey area here. Only blue and yellow.

The starter packs created by @brenttoderian.bsky.social are really excellent. They’re a great way to find leading voices and engage in thoughtful and creative discussions about better #PlacesForPeople

I tell Australians that we (and NZ) are the only country that allows drivers to drive without insurance. “…every other country in the world has mandatory driver insurance. The risk of increased premiums changes driver behaviour.” And they argue. So I move on. We are our own worst enemy.

Just how tall is he? Or is someone using AI to generate photos?

No. Wrong. Other than NZ, every other country in the world has mandatory driver insurance. The risk of increased premiums changes driver behaviour. EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS mandatory driver insurance.

1 safe drivers in 2 safe vehicles at 3 safe speeds on 4 safe streets Only 4 requires investment in infrastructure. And 1, 2 and 3 should already be in place under world’s best practice. Australia is doing safety and advocacy backwards.

FIXED IT FOR YOU: “There were roughly 500 ICE AGENTS deployed at Town Hall and an estimated 3,000 across the CBD. This scale was not accidental. It was a show of force. ICE AGENTS created the disorder they later claimed to suppress. This tactic is known. It is taught. It is deliberate.”

“This is about respect. When you welcome a guest, you try to meet them where they are. In this case, that means moving people out of areas they were previously allowed to exist in”.
