If you think public transportation is a money-loser, wait til I show you the spreadsheet on car culture.

You will probably want to be sitting down for this.

Elon and Jack will work together to shut down the existing Twitter tech stack and move it to Bluesky. Anyone paying attention would know this. That’s why he’s freezing development on the existing platform. It will take a little time, but this is what they’re up to. Watch.

What Joe Biden did today with marijuana possession is going to lead to a massive expansion in the number of jam bands. It sounds harmless now until you've been subjected to a 23-minute bass solo

The Brazilian elections are full of lessons for people who care about democracy (anywhere on earth):
1) Don’t assume the far right will be devastated at the ballot box when it does a horrible job of governing.

Today’s class was about determinism and free will. So, I ask my students to recount a moral decision they made, good or bad, why they made it, and explain what they conclude from it.

One student told us how earlier this year, on the train, a guy went into cardiac arrest…

'In the modern era (dating back to 1980 so as not to include the stagflation of the 1970s), once advanced economies have allowed inflation to exceed 5%, it has invariably taken years to bring it down all the way to 2%.' https://t.co/hbI2rgYogJ

When more of the benefits of the Stage 3 tax cuts goes to those earning over $120,000 than is spent on JobSeeker, you know they are not fair or good budget management. @ElizaLittleton with the numbers #OffTheCharts

Do something that will give you joy today instead of doomscrolling. Support a small business! Write a letter to a friend! Walk outside and spot cute dogs. Buy a pound of prosciutto if you feel like it. Lots of options!

The media are disgusting at the moment. The constant stream of propaganda for the monarchy encourages mindless servility. Our world is troubled by many serious issues that demand urgent action and this media spectacle is diverting attention away from matters we should not forget

Just incredible how inequitable the energy transition continues to be. Who can install solar, switch to gas, afford an electric vehicle? Homeowners and those with highly disposable incomes. And who is insulated from the worst of rising fossil fuel prices...
