Macquarie has a gorgeous campus and is one of Australia's largest centres for astronomy, with exoplanets, stars, and galaxy science; home to the @AAOMacquarie instrumentation & data science teams; and down the street from the radio teams at @CSIRO_ATNF. mq.edu.au/research/research-…

Never forget, a 13-year study found protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

the gaiman (and palmer tbh) stuff feels like yet another reminder that people who delude themselves that they’re just part of one big bohemian community with everyone they encounter, so that they couldn’t possible have power over others, are so dangerous

“We welcome the announcement about the ceasefire in #Gaza. Many have been hoping for this moment for the past 15 months.
This agreement will finally bring much needed respite for the people of Gaza and the release of hostages.
What’s needed now is rapid, unhindered and uninterrupted humanitarian access and supplies to respond to the tremendous suffering caused by this war."
– UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini

You’d think if Neil Gaiman sincerely thought everything was consensual he would at least be concerned that every woman who he has a sexual encounter with him describes it as the most terrifying thing they’ve ever experienced

There are blocks of lower Manhattan that are so devoid of cars now it’s wild.
