Yes. And I found that funny more than anything else.

I scored the delightful* RSV infection from him back in May. That was quite very disruptive.

So, if the Sydney Metro Southwest doesn’t open by 25 October, WSI will have a very embarrassing transport drama, and the government won’t want that. But the Sydney Metro Southwest opening data depends on regulatory approval. Watch this space. 2/2

Sydney Transport Rumours: So, there’s speculation that the Sydney Metro Southwest will open Sun 18 or maybe 25 October. Western Sydney International Airport opens for passengers 25 October, a fact. The latter will need the pink Metro replacement buses because their metro won’t be open yet. 1/2

They're just a square-ish block key common to all trains. Easy peasy.

@decryption.bsky.social May I just say, I've really enjoyed your story choices recently for @thesizzle.beehiiv.com.web.brid.gy. Five stars.

Actually I may be wrong there. Inter-car doors are escape routes, but maybe not out through cabs. Because they're locked.

That would've been problematic too lol.

As I get older I'm increasingly disappointed with people who have a sook about what other people choose to do with their lives when it has no effect on them.

Also, whatever. Put a sign up saying it's their responsibility and let them be.

Because these are 40-year-old stock and past their use-by date. It's only the T-set Tangara stock and they're next to be replaced. Also, you can't totally lock the cabs becaus they're also an emergency escape route.

If you are wondering why the rear carriages of Sydney trains are closed ATM, it's because idiotic video shorts popularised people breaking into the unmanned drivers cab - and apparently closing the whole carriage even in rush hours is the only way to deal with this 🙄 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Why passengers are being barred from rear carriages on these Sydney trains

After multiple security breaches, the back carriage has been closed off on many Tangara trains.

In today's neighbourhood news, a multi-storey furniture store in Lakemba has been burning since 4.30am yesterday. A suspicious fire, you'll be shocked to hear. www.news.com.au/technology/m...

Yeah there's nothing new here. The only difference is that some local drama in Henley Beach gets national coverage and hand-wringing.

I was waiting for this post. :)

Tbf, the Cronulla Riot radio shit did lead to a lettuce leaf slap and a sternly worded press release.

So sorry. As you were.

Also, Henley Beach lol.

But can he herd the disparate weird cats of the Greens into some sort of coherent battle group?

You watch. This will somehow be "social media's fault" rather that "call your mates".

He's had the techbros showing him demos so he's definitely swallowed the hype. Also 35% of his personal* investment is in the AI bubble. * Definitely an independent trust or something.

Well if they want to keep their jobs, yes.

Like so much of the “AI will improve everything” hype, there’s very, very little evidence it actually does that.
