theguardian.com/australia-newsβ¦
I heard from my sources that approximately 2/3 of international postal votes are for Teal independent Zoe Daniel. She needs just 258 votes to beat smarmy RWNJ candidate Tim "Freedom Boy" Wilson. 474 votes are yet to be counted, plus 50-100 estimated to arrive before the cutoff midnight tonight.

#NIH are still terminating grants, cancelling expected renewals, zeroing out budgets and issuing stop-work orders. And reporting less and less of this to avoid scrutiny and accountability.
A friend called it their "quiet quitting" of science funding
So please REPORT NIH funded projects that have been stopped in any way so we can report the real picture of what is going on: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.html

Here's a #foodporn tip for ya: If you ever blow thru #Eugene, #Oregon and want a seriously incredible sandwich, look up Scribles Bistro and Deli on Monroe Street. It is a little hole-in-the-wall tucked in a residential neighborhood, really #PNW vibe, and their Pastrami Sandwich (which I had today) is 12 on the 10 scale.
I would have taken a pic but when the food came, but did not want to waste time before devouring.

Favorite comments (from well meaning cycle club members): "you are just supposed to use the lane like you are a car" (or something to that effect)
My replies: "You are probably going 45. I am going 10 or 15 miles an hour, maybe slower uphill! You think a 10 year old bicycling to school could use a sharrow?"
(Yes, I was probably being a PITA).
I do feel like I am not enough of a cyclist to qualify for the "bicycle advisory group" we currently have if they took applications for "bcicyling experience", ha ha, everywhere there apparently has decades of road racing experience, LOL. (with the exception of @technotion, who I appreciate as a fellow "use cycling to get around" person)
Mostly feels like: retired, have been cycling all of their life, probably competitive cyclist of one form or another, at the amateur level at least... part of an organized club. I'm sure good folks if I got to know them better... (a few folks here! Hi guys!) But I think the considerations for road bicycling with a club (and experience level of "real" cyclists) can be dramatically different than "would like to see more people bicycling to the store/work/school". There is a segment that are cyclists who also are urban planners/transportation background professionally (who do seem to understand the "not an old road cyclist in a club" issues a LOT BETTER). And surprisingly, almost no MTB representation, except the folks from the bike team there (hi all!)... maybe they just don't have a lot to say about roads....
