Was just talking about election at a cafe & a guy said to me “they’re both as bad as each other, doesn’t matter how you vote.”

This couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s that attitude that will get us 3 more years of this nightmare

Please take your vote seriously #ausvotes

A bit of a thread about costings. Journalists love to write stories about costings, especially in election campaigns. But costings are almost always meaningless. Let me explain. 1/n

Sigh.

Yes, you can draw on your ballot paper. You can even draw the one picture EVERYONE asks us about.

Should you, though?

[Katina @mswebbau]

I feel this in my bones.

It’s very difficult being an introverted educator because you have to force yourself to be “on” every day. Almost every aspect of your work involves doing the thing that requires most of your energy - interacting with people.

@lisa_crofts @mareewhiteley @brettelockyer @KillenKirkham Stop motion apps are fantastic for anything where students are dealing with a change or movement or something (like urban sprawl or battlefield or economic data)

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

Memo to Dutton: So you think that, as one of the most senior ministers in this shambolic excuse for a govt, that launching a GoFundMe for local flood victims is appropriate? It’s the role of govt to act in natural disasters you fool. Not just subcontract out to the community.

[Andrew P Street, The @AndrewPStreet]

When a federal government minister responds to a natural disaster with a Gofundme rather than, say, deploying the disaster relief funding his government controls, would it be unkind to wonder if he sees this catastrophe as a nifty pre-election data harvesting opportunity? #auspol

If only there was some sort of centralised organisation that could collect money from people across the country and then allocate it in times of need

Residents in Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and the Lockyer Valley are being urged to conserve water. This extreme weather and heavy rain has impacted the Mt Crosby & North Pine Water Treatment Plants which both went offline in the early hours of this morning.

Most Australians think they can't do anything about Russia's invasion of Ukraine other than sit at home doomscrolling.

Not true. Here are 5 productive things you can do.

Just watched someone eat a meat pie by removing the top and eating that, followed by scooping out the meat with a fork and eating that, before finally eating the pastry cup that was left.

I don’t know how I feel about it, but I think I just witnessed a crime.

8. Noise Bottlenecks:
Consuming online content makes us feel like we're learning, but 90% of the content is useless junk: small talk, clickbait, marketing. We're filling our heads with noise, which is drowning out signal. As such, we feel we're getting smarter as we get stupider.

I hope PVO tells Kyle Sandilands that if he couldn’t be polite at work this morning, he should have just not shown up

@Freakonomics Teachers. Our student teacher ratios are crazy high. Demand is low in the sense that states aren’t motivated enough to raise pay enough to stimulate supply. IMO, there would be plenty of people lining up to be teachers if the pay was better.

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."
