The vandalism and racism across Sydney over the past week, from Wiley Park to Dover Heights, and now the appalling attack on a childcare centre in Maroubra, have no place in our community.

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. @streetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…

We’re going to fix it – by bringing our planning laws up to date. The draft bill proposes to establish a Vehicle Parking Scheme, which will specify the minimum number of carparks that must be provided for new dwellings based on the number of bedrooms.

South Australians are sick of seeing their suburbs being over-run by cars often double parked on otherwise quiet streets. It is ridiculous that many modern garages are not built big enough to fit the most popular cars sold in our country, from dual-cab utes right down to SUVs.

@clarejtbirch I think there’s a lot of engagement which is superficial, artistic use of the aesthetics of scientific and tech images, but not often much conceptual engagement with what they represent

I think we are more likely to see a Romantic reactivity from thoughtful "insiders" to technocracy than we are from reactive outsiders. Creating good art from a relationship, even in reaction, requires knowing and loving the subject intimately---with the critical pain of knowing and loving the thing closely. else what is made is shallow critique.

“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 #ceasefire

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
