Some fire stuff, some transport stuff, some climate stuff. Some other random science stuff. Probably too much of the one you’re not into.

Except the planned replacement for the XPT currently lacks sleeping accommodation, destroying its potential to deliver you to your destination fresh from a night curled up in bed.

"The XPT (Express Passenger Train) services the regional NSW network, travelling as far as Brisbane and Melbourne. These are regular regional services but offer on-train sleeping accommodation."

This is a very dangerous time for the US. Hopefully, it can be drawn back from that precipice. What is needed now is for a president to show real leadership and quickly reduce the heat underneath a country fast approaching boiling point. Does Donald Trump have the inclination, or ability, to do that?

Cartoon of three men sitting around a table. A man with dark skin has nothing in front of him. A fairer skin man with hard hat and hi-viz vest has a plate with one cookie in front of him. The third man is wearing a suit and has a plate piled high with cookies. He is reminiscent of Rupert Murdoch. While pointing at the man with no cookies, the man with lots of cookies looks at the man with one cookie and says "Careful mate... That foreigner wants your cookie!"

Wait until he sees what Israeli bombs have done to apartment buildings in Gaza. He’s going to be outraged.
X post from @TimWilsonMP saying: Front page images of destroyed Israeli apartment buildings hit by Iranian bombs should horrify us all, and remind us of the importance of an enduring peace and the need to end all civilian casualties.

"Motivated sellers"
Last week, we reported new incentives that Tesla is offering in Australia to help it boost its sales this quarter. This includes an incentive for interested buyers of a new or demo Model Y who will receive an additional $2,000 off the price of that car when trading in a used vehicle. This is available until 30 September 2025.

No direct causal link obviously, but the fact these were consecutive in my feed is somewhat poignant.

Not a huge fan of him either, but I think being liked by Drumpf should be immediately disqualifying for the role.

Which Todd mentions in his paper:
(Altough I'd note "suburban" means quite different things in North America compared to Australia, etc)
Some people advocate fare-free transit for affordability’s sake, but most experts caution against it. It may be appropriate in rural and suburban areas, but not in cities where transit vehicles are often crowded and fares pay a major portion of costs. To maintain current service levels without fares would require 40-60% more subsidies; most travellers would be better off if that additional funding was instead used to improve transit service, with targetted fare discounts for lower-income travellers.
