Thanks for sharing that!

Two totally different incidents - same priest though. I hope more priests show up.

Just putting this out into the world. Come March next year I’ll be looking for #PostDoc research assistant work in Sydney (or remote). Please keep me in mind and send any ideas my way. Looking for projects in one or any of #EnergyTransitions #Decarbonisation #EnvironmentalPlanning #HumanGeography

Well, most of what he says is lies so the overlap with the accordion hands is going to be high.

You couldn't have a podcast with me and @sladner.bsky.social without talking about...interviewing. Here's Sam talking about talking about interviewing --- or interviewing about talking? We don't know! 🤪 Episodes of "Off the Path with Sam and Steve" come out **this Friday** so find out for yourself!

I'm excited to officially share that I'll be joining UNSW Canberra as a Lecturer in International and Political Studies in January 2026!

Senator Price was quoted on 2GB this morning saying 'people are starting to say we're a clown show'.

I think we're way past the point where you'd call this a clown show. Barnum would be jealous.

Just to be clear: any argument along the lines of 'We can't change course now' is a process failure and a failure of decision-making.

If the cost of continuing outweighs the benefits of continuing: stop.

'Cannot turn back': Tasmanian government responds to scathing Hobart stadium report The state government response to last month's scathing report from the planning commission says that while "change can be challenging", the "dream of a Tasmanian team representing our state in the AFL...

File this under "Failures in government policy-making" for future reference. And, for the record, restating my opinion that this stadium will cost at least $1.5bn and not have a roof. Certainly not the roof pictured.

I hear it's two years away

Right? Kudos for going through the motions I guess

Seems obvious in hindsight

Nah. Blocked 🙂

There is no good justification for our Mutual Obligations scheme.

Successive reviews have determined that the systems underpinning it can't be trusted to make good decisions.

Participants continually call out its punitive, abusive nature.

Way past time to end it.

Let me know if he blocks you too :-)

Just mask up; who could tell

That really is disgraceful.

This isn't an insurance issue. That's a question of financial liability; not accountability.

UNSW Researchers Claim Solar Cell Breakthrough - CleanTechnica New research is making solar panels that have higher energy output and last longer that expected that help move the solar revolution forward.

UNSW researchers unlock singlet fission for silicon solar cells. 30%+ efficiency, cooler panels, and better EV rooftop potential.
This could lead to most of the worlds energy coming from #Solar. all we need now is storage. #auspol

No, it's a pretty straightforward question of accountability. Who is accountable for mistakes? In a vehicle, we hold the driver accountable - is that a person or the manufacturer? I don't care which, but you have to pick at least one.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Trump keeps tapping the Tariff button in order to get attention. It keeps working, and so he'll keep tapping.

At the end of this week @sladner.bsky.social and I will be sharing the first few episodes of "Off the Path with Sam and Steve." Here we're reflecting on a particular episode (Episode 2, "The Good Enough Career") but more specifically about our process in putting these conversations together.

The irony of this being a report into an IT system that automates welfare payment penalties and pauses shouldn't be lost on anyone.

I've also just clarified that the refund is partial, not the full $440,000.

It should be pretty clear: Greta Thunberg is not the bad guy

Everything I’ve heard from people about how they experience escalators tells me that State Library escalator will induce nausea in a significant group of people.
