Amsterdam police checking if an e-bike has had its limiter removed - Australia, especially Victoria, is struggling with electric motorcycles posing as e-bikes and cheap poorly-regulated components spontaneously catching fire.

The default like button was interpreted as support for Jeremy Rockliff 😒

I think we've collected too many glasses. My wife thinks we have the right glasses for the right occasion.

Who doesn’t love this toxic cutie? Just keep your dogs clear! I love vistiting Mahon pool when I’m in Sydney- it actually has a very friendly vibe and I usually see something cool. #marinebiology #seahare #seaslug #sydneybeaches #maroubra #science #kean4sci #wildoz

A huge tree branch went down this afternoon behind my house. Turn sound on to hear it CRACK.

Thank you @fullersbookshop for the super quick and friendly service! The cashier (who's name I didn't get 🤦) recognised me from Kingston Park Parkrun 😂

I'd just gotten out of a delicious lunch meeting at @littlelotuscafe and needed to zoom back to my office in Salamanca.

Busses delayed 25 minutes in Hobart's afternoon traffic today!

Bus lanes on Davey and Macquarie Streets would help!

The X01 from Hobart to Huntingfield takes 20 minutes. It was delayed 25 minutes today 🤦‍♂️

I'm looking for Hobart based people to follow on Bluesky. Any recommendations?

At the end of 2023, I gave up drinking alcohol, started riding my e-bike to work a little more and kept my Saturday morning Kingston Park parkrun habit. It was a long road, but I've made it a whole year. I'm less grumpy, less tired, a better father, 15% lighter and 11% faster.

2025 LETS GOOO!!!
