@Zozano it's not so much fuck me, as fuck the entire Brisbane population.

@Pistcow not confirmed that this will be tolled, but it's going to start from the end of one existing toll road which, yes, was built by a mix of public & private funds and is now privately-owned and tolled. I expect this will be the same.

But my objection is *primarily* about the fact that it's being built at all, rather than about who's paying for it, per se. Even if both are bad.

@brisbane this announcement comes right in the middle of widening Gympie into an 8-lane monstrosity through this section. It needs a *serious* road diet. One 24/7 bus lane in each direction, a bike lane in each direction, and it would *still* be a 4 lane major road. But instead, we get peak-hour-only bus lanes and you can navigate some winding back streets (give way every time you cross *any* road!) if you wanna cycle to Chermside.

@coaxil Nikon D7500, some on a 55–200 mm f/4.0–5.6 lens, others on the 18–55 mm f/3.5–5.6 kit lens my older D3100 came with.

@coaxil I posted to this community from my Mastodon if you wanna go find that, but also here's a direct link to the Pixelfed posts I *wanted* to link:

@brisbane I couldn't figure out how to get them to post directly from Pixelfed to Lemmy how I wanted, unfortunately, so I'm posting a link to that from here.

And it also doesn't seem that my double x-post to pics worked. 🤷‍♂️

@trk conveniently, I only noticed the fog because I went outside to bring in the washing, and discovered it was *soaked*.

@trk I went out last night at an unreasonable hour to go take photos. Took my good camera though, not the smartphone, so will have to wait to process them before sharing.

@unionagainstdhmo 😂

@Gamers_Mate @Rentlar no don't delete it! It's an important issue and more people should be able to see it!

@Spitzspot yeah I dunno why exactly the Pitch Drop experiment gets the label "longest continually-running experiment". Probably some kind of technicality about what exactly counts as "experiment" and "continually-running". There are some even older than Beal's listed on Wikipedia, depending on how you define it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_experiment

@ziltoid101 walked past again. The Palestine camp seems to have grown significantly. The pro-Genocide camp at the other end looked the same size.

@ziltoid101 went for another walk past it this evening at UQ. It's still there. One of the marquees was donated by the federal MP of the area (Greens party).

There's also a pro-Israel camp over the far side of the Great Court. I'd estimate it's about half the size.

@jonne yeah fair question. It's the road shoulder. See my reply to @_cnt0 for more details

@InEnduringGrowStrong ty!

Additional image.

I had heard about the ghost bikes being repeatedly removed, but I rarely travel Nudgee Rd myself. Happened to drive down it last night and spotted this ingenuous solution to the problem. Had to stop and capture it.

edit: hmm, looks like Lemmy can't show images attached to replies. Shouldn't be too much of a surprise I guess. See it in reply.

@brisbane

@brisbot much better this morning. Woke up early and managed to get myself outside for a quick half River Loop ride. Always feel good after doing morning exercise, as hard as it is to get up to actually do it.

@brisbot Urgh mornings suck. Usually I blame it on my tendency to go to bed late, but last night I was in bed early and set an alarm early to get up for some exercise. Morning arrives and I immediately re-set my alarm and go back to sleep until I have to be up for work.

@brisbot how exactly does Mastodon–Lemmy interaction work? This is a comment reply because I searched for it, but is there an equivalent to subscribing to a Lemmy community? A way to post in a community?
