Interesting data (from Waymo) showing that robotaxis are significantly safer than the average human driver. This is likely because they respect traffic rules. An NYT op-ed by a neurosurgeon calls for a broader adoption as a public health measure. Thoughts? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/o...

I’ve spent six years writing about environmental justice. The uncomfortable truth is that we’re not all in it together – but people power is reshaping the fight

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

Amazing turnout for Ben Smith for Flinders this weekend 🥰 A core issue in Flinders has been the decision to close Rosebud Hospital Sadly with the Dutton-led Liberald planning to axe govt services standing to only exacerbate the issues locals face, they’re rightly pissed!

“Tear down the dams, bring back the river: to me, an outsider, there doesn’t seem to be much not to like…” Brilliant @jbmackinnon.bsky.social account of the activism for & resistance to the biggest dam-removal project in US history. hakaimagazine.com/features/the...

Removing dams from the Klamath River in Northern California seems like a clear win for fish and rivers. Why do some locals hate it?

if you're a bit of an energy and climate geek and have an interest in the australian perspective, i can highly recommend @sdhamiltonvic.bsky.social's AUS energy & climate starter pack: bsky.app/start/did:pl... (yes, a few non-aussies there… but the more the merrier!)
