WHAT? Just discovered that NSW gov intends to ban bicycles down George St once light rail work is finished. This is ridiculous. @GladysB please rethink! https://t.co/isfng8IpOd 🚴♀️❤️

@thisismywww And yet somehow people cycle all over Melbourne right now.
@tommyjowitt @GladysB Riding on the pavement is illegal. We’re talking about a big wide street here!
So far arguments in support of banning bikes on George St are because A) some cyclists illegally ride on the footpath (even though we aren’t talking about a footpath), and B) they might hurt themselves on tram tracks (as opposed to sharing a road with speeding cars). 😐
Hay St tram tracks are a recommended cycling route in Sydney *today*. So the only valid argument against it is pedestrians wandering about, but they deal with that on Pyrmont Bridge with a speed limit.

The Snook and I have a rule that the only time we ever call each other “babe” is to signal that we’re being held hostage over the telephone. https://t.co/rwJVVgwJCr
@lgarvey Exactly!
@TheRealBnut @The_McJones There are home brewers’ clubs, definitely. The Snook used to participate in a now defunct one in Sydney called “Brewshare” IIRC. They’d pick a theme each quarter, brew that style, and then meet up to taste/rate them.
@TheRealBnut @The_McJones But it’s not really, like, a “take a beer/leave a beer” situation. 😂

@gilmae Were you already playing it? (I blew up the sun. Next is an endless black hole.) 😳
@FakeSamRitchie SUPER CUTE 😍 What’s the pattern??
@j_houg SAME. Which we then followed with the first ep of “Consumed,” which is even WORSE. (At one point I advised the woman on TV to “dump the motherf*cker already”.) What is it with cleaning shows and USELESS MEN?
@mattdelves @joneaves Maybe some of them would ride bikes if Sydney wasn’t so damn hostile to them.
A heart-racing true story, that just happened in my house:
“I think there’s a big-ass spider on the loose,” said the Snook.
Me: “How do you know?”
“Because he’s molted and his old shell’s hanging above the medicine cabinet.” 1/n 🕷 https://t.co/QilKuL3jCZ
Me: “Oh neat! Go get a box and I’ll climb up on the toilet to take a closer look….” 2/n 🕷 https://t.co/xMgzpU1rYw
“Uhhhhh… there’s too many legs. And… it’s still moving.” 3/n 🕷 https://t.co/4GYAyPFjrb
We caught him mid-molt, it seems. The Snook returned with a bucket, and I carefully trapped him in it against the ceiling. 4/n 🕷 https://t.co/sHSx15XOWz
The shock seemed to have shaken him loose from his old shell. He wasn’t happy. 5/n 🕷 https://t.co/mHKhsUgZcv
Neither was the Snook. 6/n 🕷 https://t.co/T5pLsc3Ch7
We used a bit of plastic to cover the bucket, carried him to the door, and flung him (and his old shell) out into the garden. Thanks for the adrenaline, Mr. Spider! 👋🕷 7/7 THE END
@Ducky_Tape I thought it was neat! The cats and the Snook, not so much.
