@EmilyfGates @AKarbabian @Tiffany7001 @tgarchibald How exciting. Well done.

I have travelled this line many times, it is a gorgeous trip even in other months.

This is stunning!

To allow riders to better view autumn leaves, the driver of this Eizan Electric Railway train on the Kurama Line switches off the lights so passengers can better view this "Maple Tunnel" outside #Kyoto.

Another reason to love #Japan's rail culture.

@SiouxsieW @marcdaalder Does Marc ever sleep, or has he discovered the multiverse? He churns out diverse high quality stories like some kind of journalistic moving carpet

@bapeterj @DrAlexPenn @cecanexus @CecanLimited Oh that's always such a great stage! Well done. Glad to see the 'causal' qualification in the subtitle. As we've discussed, there are many system diagram traditions that do not illustrate 'causal' links.

Extraordinary letter in @ft from former UK defence attaché at Moscow embassy - we warned you about Putin but you listened to the City instead

@domesticanimal @DomPost @NZStuff This is another of Sharon’s nailed-it cartoons

The word from the Russian Embassy is that New Zealanders deserve to know an alternative viewpoint.

Nice thread on the research process

Originally the distinction between simple/complicated/complex was epistemological. A way of categorising problems (ie constructs). Mistakenly people have applied this to ontological reality. Many complexity people consider reality is never simple or complicated

Without taking anything away from Zoe’s amazing performance, Adam Hall won our first winter Olympic gold.  In the winter Paralympics.  Twice.

@MatthewHootonNZ I don't get the point. Models are models. They are simplifications of reality. Thus we have to be skeptical about them; it would be unscientific and poor policy analysis not to be. But being skeptical about something doesn't mean we don't believe in it being useful.

[Bob Williams @boblwill]

@class_maori @domesticanimal @nzlabour It's nuts and is yet another example of New Zealanders' deluding themselves that we have a free health service. We pay for physios, GP visits, prescriptions, dentists and more. Poor people use hospital emergency departments because they cannot afford our 'free' health system.

@domesticanimal @Pno_nwa Exactly my sense.

[Bob Williams @boblwill]

@domesticanimal @DomPost @NZStuff Pretty good thanks. Argentina has got its rate down from 30,000 per day to about 1000. People take mask wearing very seriously here. Getting warm. Other day 35C. Jacarandas in bloom. Very pretty. BsAs is a city of trees. How are you guys. Your cartons rock atm

[Bob Williams @boblwill]

@gcnp58 @_david_ho_ That misrepresents and misunderstands science. Science is about peeling back levels of uncertainty - often revealing more uncertainty. It's non-scientists that demand certainty from science and get angry when they don't get it. So scientists have learned to shut up.
