Melbourne's only got one major rail line with frequent service all day every day. Sydney has seven.
Frequent services get more people on board public transport more often.

Hey fronds 🌿

My lovely friend @SeaFury is approaching the PhD finish line and her earning capacity is a bit limited right now.

Maybe you could check out her Ko-Fi and pick out some zines and stickers? They are beautiful and thoughtful ecofuturist interventions that reflect SeaFury's talent as a designer and a scientist.

Here's the link: https://ko-fi.com/seafuryandpete/shop

I've opened a shop. Come take a look!

Asking for uh some interested people: how do streetside and public charging stations for electric vehicles perform in flooding? Are there cutoffs or do the stations stay live in floodwater?

What an amazing Day 1 for the #MetroTunnel !

Thousands of people showed up to see the new stations, ride the trains and have a look around.

Everyone I've spoken to had lots of good things to say, with hopes for the improved public transport services that this can enable.

Thanks to everyone who said hello too. I will be doing a video on this, but maybe in a little while when the hype has died down a bit and I have more time to properly put it together.

#Melbourne Metro Tunnel first day! Huge numbers of people despite the weather. Some delays but looking great - just a shame they only ran trains every 20 minutes - some long waits and very crowded trains. But great to see this opened. Bring on the full timetable!

this is a very impressive analysis of some of the statistical "oddities" in Pielke Jr's analysis that normalized climate impacts are declining. Everyone should read this. economicsfromthetopdown.com/2025/10/26/r...

Roger Pielke Jr.’s Appallingly Bad Analysis of Billion Dollar Disasters – Economics from the Top Down

In a recent paper called Scientific integrity and U.S. “Billion Dollar Disasters”, Roger Pielke Jr. published a chart that's so bad I've devoted a whole essay to debunking it.

So Broadsheet released this article on the death of the Melbourne brunch scene - ok maybe that's a bit dramatic, but the vibe is that it's not as hot as it used to be.

As a chef that has worked in some of the 'hottest' cafes at the peak of this era (late 2000s to 2010s), and who used to own/run a cafe that was in the Good Food Guide's top 50 from 2016-2018, I feel like I have some clout to say a few things about this.
