It's the Winter Solstice and my baby mandarin tree has grown me its first fruit.
Along with my orange tree, it's great to have some bright colour and juicy fruit in winter

So the scuttlebutt at the dog park was that the fire last night at Off Track Cycles in Brunswick was an arson attack. I saw it on my ride home and was hoping it wasn't off-track or the charity next door. I mean I could understand if it was one of those carbon-fiber lycra loony places where they flog overpriced road bikes to mamils, but I can't see why anyone would want to firebomb a shop known for good repairs and selling reliable bike gear for commuters and bikepackers.
Of course there is just the tiniest chance that dog park randos are leaping to conclusions.

I need to believe that there are more good people in this world outweigh the bad.
Right now that feels like blind faith, needing to belive in a god who "works" in mysterious ways.#hopeso #mythoughtfortoday #BlindFaith #ANTIFA #organisenow #community #Naarm #ecoanarchy #NotAngryEnough #GetAngry #GetOrganised #humanrights #latestagecapitalsm #censorship #classwar

Have you read @karenhao book #EmpireOfAI, chronicling the rise of Sam Altman and #OpenAI?
Want to?
It's fantastic - meticulously researched, detailed and an incredible character analysis of one of the most influential people and companies of our time.
My favourite chapter is the last one - what would it take for the Empire of AI to fall?
In #Melbourne #Naarm?
Come see Karen in conversation with @Kobotic presented by #ReadingsBooks, this Friday night at #RMIT.
Entry is free, tix going fast though.

Public transport tram infrastructure in #Adelaide #SouthAustralia is abysmal.
Our neighbouring big city of #Melbourne #Naarm has the most incredible tram system by comparison.
When pressure came to remove the trams in Naarm, its recorded that Professional and friendly ticketeting staff on trams (and their strong union) were an important part of retaining the network as was a much earlier decision when Melbourne was first planned for major roads to be wide enough to 'be able to do a u-turn with a bullock cart".
Across in Adelaide, which was established by the South Australia Corporation (you heard that right), trams didnt go so well.
Aparently the tram network once established was somehow bought out by the largest Tire Manufactuer of the day and along with immense pressure applied by the car lobby, the tram tracks were ripped up.
Anyone know more detail on what exactly happened to the tram network in SA?
I'm wanting to look beyond car industry history that records that 'people just wanted to drive, so it was pulled out', which seems like an incomplete narrative to me. What folks just went oh well, rip my local tram out, no worries? What went down?
