The @australia.theguardian.com provides this excellent video on why people (incl. many Jewish Australians) oppose the visit by Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia. #auspol #nswpol #IsraeliTerrorState #GazaGenocide #CancelHerzog #FreePalestine

Came out to see a fire burning on the other side of town. Strong winds and hot weather have provided some serious challenges to getting it under control. This one started as a result of a battery in the waste management centre. Took the big bike to get up some big hills. #bikesky #cargobike

I’ve definitely found the limit of ‘there’s no bad weather for cycling, just bad clothing’. With this heatwave I reached my limit early in the week. The bike is parked. It reached 41 today and was still 39.2 at 8pm this evening. Two more days of above 40 degrees to go. #bikesky

A reminder that you may not need an e-cargo bike, but I can attest to them being fun, practical and somewhat life changing.

Some excellent alternatives for tech in 2026. Food for thought.
If this year was about getting off US tech, 2026 is the year to reassess the digital revolution — what works, what doesn’t; what to keep, and what to reject.
I’ve only just started to consider what needs to change about how I use digital technology, but I’m excited to learn more next year.

Getting off US tech led me to a wider questioning of digital convenience

Hyperwealthy pedophilic genocidal dickweeds versus the rest of humanity - The Shot
It really is the 1% versus the rest of us. The stakes couldn't be higher. And the enemy could not be more depraved. Still, we'll win.

Your choice is quite literally a bipartisan cabal of pedophilic drone-wielding genocidal oligarchs that suck each other off in depraved games of domination and blackmail, or, socialism and a habitable planet, and you're struggling with that choice?! Dafuq is wrong you?

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river.

TV show where illegal immigrants hunt down Republican sex offenders for a chance at citizenship - call it “Alien vs. Predator.”

TV show where illegal immigrants hunt down Republican sex offenders for a chance at citizenship - call it “Alien vs. Predator.”
This is dark. Actually, unhinged.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.
