Kudos to @jdmunday.bsky.social & other authors of this really elegant study of viral transmission in schools. 👇 Indoor air quality is very important, something we on @independentsage.bsky.social argued strongly during pandemic. Ventilation matters.

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

Once I started becoming more politically active.. people would often say “oh, a data scientist, you’re smart, you should run for office” and honestly intelligence (in the way that they mean) isn’t even in the top 3 characteristics you need/want in a politician

Why would anyone ever need a thousand Mozarts? Surely at some point we can collectively say “enough, that’s enough Mozarts”.

Cynicism is born of fear. Fear turns to anger; and, anger needs a target; which, in turn becomes hate. I have heard far too many of these excuses, just about boycotts. Don't do this. #TheAlliedForces

Labor has now received two mandates to transition to renewable energy. This one bigger than the last. That means more solar, more wind and more storage to firm it up. Bring it on #auspol
