Fun frustrating fact #quant #legalhistorians: Microsoft Excel’s date function only works for dates post-1 January 1900. So if you have just entered 700+ rows of court data from the 1800s ..... 🤯Hot tip: 🔥enter dates in reverse so you can sort numerically ie 18451103. 😭😀

Solidarity with Kuku Yalanji mob ✊🏾 They got rid of forest logging and now they're acknowledged as the legal custodians of the world’s oldest continually-surviving tropical rainforest #alwayswasalwayswillbe

The staggering unfairness that results when the Commissioner instructs police to ditch community policing and proactively enforce orders with unclear terms like “gathering” & “recreation”, combined with a lack of police training/ interpretative material, and expensive fixed fines

@CaitStorr Etymology nerd 🤓: from French sancire: to make inviolable. From Latin base sacer = sacred. old meaning was “a solemn oath. Later, binding force given to an oath; a thing which makes a law or oath binding”. (OED). So...? Sanction = to make x [permit] or y [proscribe] binding???

Good morning from #worimi country. What lands are you waking on today?

Platypus are making world news. An issue of international conservation significance. Charles Darwin met them on the Coxs River, near Lithgow, in 1836. That site is now polluted and impounded by power station cooling water. Yes, platypus are long gone.

It's been a dark day at the ABC, half way through a year that began with colleagues working overtime to aid local communities through the bushfires and then doing the same under straitened circumstances during Covid-19.

Good news guys, on Fox News they're saying racism doesn't exist. Woo hoo
