The 2026 #IWD motto was "give to gain". Minnie Chan is a Hong Kong-based reporter for SCMP who attended a conference in Beijing in November, 2023 and has not been seen or heard from since. Perhaps if #journalists give attention to Minnie Chan her family might gain her return. Hope persists.

4 artists & 3 scientists created a series of posters to communicate some of the science issues most important to us. These posters are made to be shared! We're selling them in 4-packs, so YOU can share them outside of the science circles where we hang out online. get 'em squidfacts.bigcartel.com

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

“A new study of early separated lane projects in the U.S. across six cities finds a rise of ridership between 21% and 171% after the lanes were installed.” The pretty strong and convincing case for protected bike-lane networks in cities. In @fastcompany.com

Giving cyclists their own space results in some pretty big benefits beyond just a lack of dead cyclists.

Also just going to leave this here. Remember Mr Bolt used his strange obsession with my journalism to retraumatise a vulnerable victim (Paris Street of St Kevin’s) of a convicted sexual offender? Bolt was later forced to apologise when Paris stood up for himself. www.theguardian.com/media/2020/f...

My experience at Canada/US border posts was that US border guards treated everyone entering the USA as a possible criminal. So if Canada is a source of illegal immigration as Trump suggests, isn't that a problem of the USA enforcing its own rules?

Within every challenge is an opportunity. Move quickly, Aussie wine makers ... Australia should ramp up its wine exports to #Canada. It would be a win for both countries. Canadians would drink much better wine, and Australian exports would grow. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

A reminder that AI large language models (LLMs) are built on the stolen IP of hundreds of thousands of journalists and authors. Every time you use Chat-GPT and its cousins, pay homage to those talented people whose work will never be recognised in the money-grabbing build of these enterprises.

THREAD: To the “rule of law” gang who somehow believe there is only one way (criminal conviction) to make a finding about allegations that happen to be criminal, do you seriously suggest the multiple forums on which we all report have no validity bc they don’t decide things beyond reasonable doubt?

One way to put away my concerns about modern #politics for a short time (here’s looking at you, USA) is to pull on one of my favourite cycling kits (Legenda, an #Australian maker) and ride. Only 100km and 1700m vertical today, in rain and hail. #cycling #wymtm #Sydney #training #fitness

The author looks into the camera. He is wearing cycling clothing - a black and white helmet, sunglasses with gold-tinted lenses, and a blue jersey with a white and red floral design. The background features the sea and an island.

White cycling socks are stained with dirt and grime following a ride on wet roads.
