Reopen the Glebe Island Bridge
Sign our petition: Restore and reopen the Glebe Island Bridge

Aw yeah, petition to re-open the Glebe Island Bridge for walking and cycling! I think this is a huge opportunity to ease traffic and encourage active transport around the awful WestConnex/Rozelle interchange. It's just bumper to bumper every day at rush hour.

So the owners and landlords of all these Chinese Noodle House/Restaurant ... restaurants, seem to all be related, yet stabbing one another in the back?
This is like Game of Thrones level stuff, honestly I'd watch Game of Chinese Noodle if anyone made that. How did this all go down?

Customers have been swarming Chinese Noodle House in Haymarket, famed for its hand-pulled noodles and and cafeteria-style outdoor seating, to say farewell ahead of the cult favourite’s closure on 12 December.
The landlords, who ran the eatery until 2016, plan to move into the existing venue on Thomas Street with a new restaurant – called Chinese Noodle House. Continue reading...

Today we had @bicyclensw.bsky.social join us on the Balmain Bike Bus, who politely listened to all our excited plans and wishlists for improved infrastructure in the area, including a shortcut through the power station, widened shared paths and of course the Glebe Island Bridge.

Super nice that this Wednesday is World Sustainable Transport Day, but it's also the 1st birthday of the Balmain Bike Bus 🥳
I've been told by a couple of attendees that this has inspired them to choose bike over car more often than they used to. Small wins, but still important I think.

Woah, super cool to see a bunch of our games front and centre when opening Steam today.
I know PlayStation is a large company, but the Nixxes port teams are not huge, so it's still really cool to see our titles appear so prominently like this.

ok wtf, my phone is one of the affected ones and apparently this was caused by the 3G shut down. Which happened in November last year. So.. I have been without the ability to call 000 for an entire year?!
Surely more than one person died in that time because of this..

Had all my three newbies from Ride 2 Work day last month, all back again on the bike bus today! Makes me happy 😊
There were so many weeks over the last year where it was just me cycling to work alone after waiting and no one showing up. I guess stubborn persistence finally paid off.

5 pedestrians (and an unborn child) were killed by motor vehicles across NSW just in the last week. Now is the time to lower speeds and claw our public safety back again.

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?

On Thursday I attended the reading of a bill to reduce speed limits in residential areas to 30km/h. Cue the online outrage about how this will ruin lives.
Not a single day later a pedestrian is killed in a shopping area where the speed limit is 60km/h. And commenters call it a "tragic accident"

Well done to @kobishettymp.bsky.social who just did a phenomenal reading for her bill to introduce a 30km/h limit on local, residential streets across NSW. Hopefully we can catch up with the international standards for safe streets, and allow people to choose sustainable transport options 💚

Opinion | You don’t accidentally allow 60 black-clad Nazis to parade in front of Parliament House holding an antisemitic banner. You allow it because you want to, @marquelawyers.com.au writes.
It's no accident that Nazis rallied in Sydney. Police waved them through — and now Minns wants to punish us all
The existing law in NSW is more than adequate to have avoided the images of Nazis outside state parliament over the weekend.

Not sure I even still know anyone at Square Enix after all the studio sales and previous layoffs, but my thoughts go out to all those affected. I worked together with some good people across Square Enix on Tomb Raider and The Avengers, makes me sad to see this happen 😔
Square Enix has announced mass layoffs, potentially impacting over 100 individuals, alongside a broader effort to consolidate its publishing organization and focus its development work in Japan.

OK wtf, so we get pepper sprayed by police on Tuesday for peacefully protesting against *checks notes* a weapons convention with companies that are making money from genocide.
And then on Saturday literal Nazis are allowed to stand like this in front of parliament house unbothered by cops.

That was an eventful morning. Went out to join the protest against the weapons conference because 🤢😡, (or as Hannah said "this event is fucked").
Things got a bit spicy and police overreacted and pepper spayed the whole protest. I only got a small amount, but ugh, not a fun experience.
