just saw the most amazing piece of standup comedy ever, Nanette by Hanna Gadsby. I cried of joy and sadness at the same time. Not even sure how that was possible.

the electoral college is the real elephant in the room here.

Joe Biden is leading Donald Trump by 3,940,934 votes. He has the most votes of any presidential candidate in history. In almost any other democracy, Joe Biden would have been the clear winner days ago. The Electoral College is a sham.

My recent pic showing the spectra of light pollution is featured in the Aperture section of the latest @newscientist issue, together with some brief quotes on why we should protect the night sky.

I dream of a world where I don’t have to worry about the climate any more. #cop25 #climatechange
Waking up to the frightening news of #COP25 failing to deliver any committment. I’ll keep some hope until it’s over but I feel like we’re literally witnessing the end of our civilization. Hollywood had it wrong, the bad guys won.
Santiago: it’s completely ridiculous how we can hardly breathe anymore from the smog yet the city and police are out there to personally attack and discourage the very few brave bikers on the road!!! Get real and point your hatred at the cars!

I'd give my life if it would save this forest. I'd give my life if it would stop climate breakdown. I've felt this for a while but I've been too afraid to say it. It stems from my love for my sons. It is what it is. #ClimateTruth theguardian.com/world/2019/a…

Bolsonaro has blessed ‘brutal' assault on Amazon, sacked scientist warns

In interview with the Guardian, Ricardo Galvão says if the far-right leader doesn’t change tack the Amazon will be ruined

In Santiago, they are asking us bikers to go on the road with cars. Just this morning I was scared to death, cars racing past me almost touching! If there is no respect for bikers and no controls we can’t be asked to put our lives at risk! #bikesonsidewalks
Thank you @LeoBurtscher for sharing this great resource!

Two weeks ago, @AstroWilliamson, Travis A. Rector and James Lowenthal published a really good #Astro2020 white paper on "Embedding climate change engagement in astronomy eduction and research". I wanted to summarise the main points here. H/T @sarahkendrew arxiv.org/abs/1907.08043
