I love love love seeing companies competing for PhDs the way teams compete for athletes! Finally a record-breaking salary justified by brains over brawn… well deserved, @jhyuxm 🙌🏻

Could this be the dawn of a new era for #timezones? @realDonaldTrump & @elonmusk have renewed discussions about abolishing #daylightsaving—yet there’s little consensus on whether to adopt permanent DST, or Standard Time. Here’s one potential solution of 4 entirely new time zones.

In Australia we now have more young men than women who are neither in full-time education nor in the labour force. This is not the result of welcome advances in gender relations but rather a symptom of an education system that is not helping boys and young men to achieve their full potential. Australia is worse off as a result as I explain in The New Daily (no pay wall): buff.ly/3Y37TZZ #demographics #education #Australia #workforce #skillsshortage

Brisbane is now Australia's most congested city! 😱 We have 'car culture' to thank, which had duped many (including policymakers) into thinking more roads will fix the issue. Comprehensive transit investment needed from Noosa to Tweed to improve situation carexpert.com.au/car-news/th…
