Dujuan sounds very dangerous!

The new traffic bridge,replacing the original, a walk across maybe an experience.

Exciting news for Fremantle.

The iconic new Fremantle Traffic Bridge will open on 1 November 2026, three months ahead of schedule.

To celebrate this historic milestone, the community is invited to be part of a special event and walk across the new bridge before it officially opens to traffic later that evening.

As Australia's first extradosed bridge, features include programmable lighting, wider and safer paths for pedestrians and cyclists, and a wider navigational channel for commercial and recreational river users, including ferries travelling along the Swan River to Rottnest.

Thank you for sharing Jordan Garcia.
Just thinking about all the bottled I drank in Vietnam 🇻🇳 recently.

A groundbreaking study revealed that a single liter of bottled water can contain between 110,000 and 370,000 tiny plastic particles, far exceeding earlier estimates.

Using an advanced imaging technique called stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, researchers from Columbia University and Rutgers University analyzed samples from three popular brands sold in the United States.

They detected an average of approximately 240,000 particles per liter, with about 90 percent classified as nanoplastics smaller than one micrometer.

These ultrafine fragments had largely escaped previous detection methods that focused mainly on larger microplastics.

The particles originated from multiple sources, including polyethylene terephthalate shed from the bottles themselves and polyamide from the filters used during water purification.

Other common plastics such as polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride were also identified, though roughly 90 percent of the nanoparticles remained chemically unidentified.

Nanoplastics raise particular concern because their minute size allows them to cross biological barriers, potentially entering blood, cells, organs and even the placenta.

While the long-term health effects of chronic exposure remain under investigation, the findings suggest that earlier assessments of plastic pollution in drinking water substantially underestimated the true scale of contamination.

The research highlights how manufacturing and packaging processes introduce these particles and underscores the need for improved filtration technologies and alternative packaging to reduce human intake of microscopic plastics.

Rowing can be a dangerous sport.

The Fitzroy River in Rockhampton, Queensland, is home to about 500 saltwater crocodiles, some of which can grow more than six metres long. This river has now been officially approved to host Olympic and Paralympic rowing and canoeing events for the 2032 Brisbane Games.

The decision follows an independent technical assessment commissioned by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority. While the report evaluated water levels, flood risk, and weather patterns to ensure fair competition, it did not factor in the presence of these apex predators. The Fitzroy River Flatwater Facility already supports local regattas and training camps, and officials point to existing contingency plans for crocodile sightings as evidence of safety.

World Rowing President Jean-Christophe Rolland and Paddle Worldwide President Thomas Konietzko have endorsed the course, citing the quality of technical work. However, the choice has sparked debate. Three-time Olympic gold medalist Drew Ginn expressed concerns regarding athlete safety and the integrity of the competition, questioning the wisdom of hosting events in a river that is the natural habitat of these powerful animals.

Brisbane 2032 President Andrew Liveris has encouraged a mindset shift, comparing the situation to surfing in the ocean among sharks.

Rhonda and Kadek a big romance. Australia 🇦🇺

Remember when Australia became emotionally invested in the holiday romance between Rhonda and Ketut via freaking ads lol?
These ads started in 2011 and went through to 2014.

It all started when safe driver Rhonda used her insurance savings to head to Bali, get her hair braided and catch the eye of Ketut, who delivered one of the smoothest lines in Australian advertising history

“You look so hot today, Rhonda. Like a sunrise.”

Honestly, Shakespeare could never.

From there, Australians followed their romance like it was a prime-time drama. Would Rhonda return to Bali? Would Ketut find her? Would she finally stop talking about brake-foot Rhonda?

The ads became so popular that people wore Rhonda and Ketut T-shirts, repeated the lines at school and work, and turned “hot like a sunrise” into a genuine Aussie compliment. Some of our followers have noted just how permanently the campaign lodged itself in people’s memories. Even those who found the ads annoying somehow still remember every word.

Mandy McElhinney played Rhonda, while Kadek Mahardika played the impossibly smooth Ketut. Their advertising love story ran until 2014, but in the minds of Australians, they are presumably still together somewhere in Bali, enjoying cocktails while Rhonda tells everyone about her safe-driving record.

Be honest: did you secretly want Rhonda and Ketut to end up together?

Intelligent Canada 🇨🇦

🏬➡️🏠 CANADA IS TURNING EMPTY MALLS INTO HOMES

Across Canada, struggling shopping centers are being reimagined as housing communities.

Instead of letting huge retail spaces sit empty, developers are exploring apartments, senior housing and shared community spaces—sometimes even transforming old food courts into communal dining areas.

And malls already have a major advantage: roads, parking, transit access and utilities are often already there.

As Canada faces a housing shortage and traditional malls battle vacancies, these massive properties could get an entirely new purpose.

Less empty retail. More places to live. 🏠🇨🇦

Thailand 🇹🇭

Thailand's Prime Minister used language on Thursday morning that no one in his position usually uses.

Speaking at an Interior Ministry briefing, Anutin Charnvirakul addressed foreigners accused of breaking Thai laws or exploiting Thai people. Then came the line now circulating worldwide.

"If you're going to die, go die back home."
Khaosod English

Context matters here, so here it is in full. He was responding to requests from foreigners to establish private cemeteries in Thailand, and to cases of religious sites being set up without approval. One property, he said, was registered as a restaurant but contained a religious site. On the cemetery request, his verdict was "that is going too far."
Thaiger

He also drew a line most coverage is leaving out. Foreigners who earn an honest living and don't exploit Thai people are welcome to stay. His anger was aimed at those who act aggressively, threaten or intimidate.

What sits underneath the quote is policy, and it's moving fast. He confirmed he has signed the Interior Ministry deportation order, and told officials not to delay removals over the cost of an air ticket. He instructed provincial governors to use their powers fully, naming Phuket and Surat Thani specifically. And he ordered investigations into foreigners using Thai nominees, holding land illegally, working without permits, or basing criminal activity here.

For anyone following the last month, none of this is new. The deportation rules, the nominee sweeps across Samui, Phangan and Pattaya, the shorter visas. What's new is the tone.

The message to foreign residents is now impossible to misread. Come, work honestly, respect the culture. Anything else, and the state has both the tools and the appetite.

Blunt truth, or a line a prime minister shouldn't cross?
