The Conversation AU + NZSenior public servants no longer have secure positions, which has undermined their ability to give ‘fearless’ advice.
As @c_s_wallace (@UniCanberra) writes, the question facing the government now is how to make 'frank and fearless advice' the norm again. https://t.co/heSvuP2KWr
ThesiswhispererJust posted this on the bird site - what is the last straw people need to leave twitter completely? I found my limit. I'm leaving.
For me, paying nazi, misogynistic 'influencers' is too far. I've long been passive on Twitter, but used it to distribute content. I can't do it anymore. The values conflict is too much.
I'd love it if some academics took a stand with me. I'm going to delete my (50K+) follower account on the 13th of August. I'm staying for a month to do a count down and encourage others to #DeleteTwitter.
I don't have a recommendation of where is best to go. Anywhere is better than Twitter and its ocean of hate. Appreciate a boost to build a bit of momentum for this protest attempt

Excellent scale & street presence, balconies open to north, but shield western sun.
The type of density & quality of design we so need more of!

Lloyd AlterI have long been a proponent of what I called "dumb buildings" that didn't use much energy (like Passivhaus) and worked like thermal batteries, staying warm or cool in the face of intermittent or variable sources of power. But after reading an Australian study showing how much energy could be saved simply by controlling water heaters and using them as thermal storage, I am beginning to rethink my aversion to smart tech. https://lloydalter.substack.com/p/why-we-should-be-designing-for-intermittency
Sometimes as an architect, you go looking for something on your server & discover some beautiful, but sadly ignored, past scheme.
Here a project from a decade ago for new student housing in & behind a street of terraces houses, punctuated by courtyards.
Low rise, high density
