If you want to show some support, make the top three on your ballot in the Vic election in November be (in whichever order you want): Labor, Greens, Independent. Don’t vote for the people who associate with these people. Don’t vote for people who’ll remove Treaty.

Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

Heatwaves kill more Australians than floods, fires and cyclones combined. If we named them, we could treat them as the public health emergencies they are. Should we name them after the fossil fuel companies that contribute to them? Tell me here: www.moniqueryan.com.au/heatwave_pet...

SWPC has only ever issued a handful of G4 watches, and we have now for Nov 12 due to three incoming CMEs. Storming may begin on Nov 11 with the impact of the first CME with two more close behind it. If the forecast verifies, much of the U.S. may see the aurora Tue/Wed nights.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

There's no place in Australian electoral campaigns for violence and aggression. In many instances the language used against female candidates is gendered and misogynistic. The video circulating this week of a man violently destroying political signage in Kooyong is deeply concerning.
