Temporary exclusion orders - didn’t know this was a thing in Australia (that an Australian citizen can be bared from re-entering the country if they’re a safety/terror threat). I can’t find a data on how often this has happened/happens. Anyone know if one can find said data anywhere?

Modernity as expressed in one powerful sign. (Source: HouseEurope!)
A sign that says both: “we’re fucked!” And “you can change it!”

Jane Jacobs - thank you for giving me the language to explain why I despised growing up in Mississauga and why I loved moving to Toronto (despite consecutive generations of city halls’ attempt to murder it).

Fellow Canadians: are you, too, disappointed about what’s *not* being talked about by our public broadcaster on its website? The absence is deafening (Or where it is mentioned, the headline reads insipidly. Like this…)

The statue of Macquarie on the north end of Hyde Park is a dead ringer for Michael Jackson. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Just saying… #Sydney

New paper where we describe the results of a two-day workshop on the role of coercion in public health. How we’re using the idea of coercion differs across disciplines, which means that we might not all mean the same thing when we invoke the notion of coercion! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

of Radbruch's interpretation of Germans dealing with Nazi law after 1945. I can barely get through the material, to be honest. Here's Hart's intro to that section. How the fuck are we back here? (I know how, but struggle to digest our collective indifference, stupidity, and callousness)

On a less serious note, look at how gorgeous the sky was this early morning over Sydney!

The electrical polls in Oxford (though I assume elsewhere in the UK, too) are just great to look at. Pleasing on the eye (maybe because I'm not used to them?)

I mean, I’m ok with cameras on buses. But this is comically, literally (creepily?) Orwellian.

For anyone who’s had the pleasure (no, seriously) of working with UN agencies know, “knee jerk” & “extreme” aren’t words you’d normally use to describe them. So for this statement to come out so unequivocally… man, that’s a loud warning
