Ugh. There are a million things more interesting and enjoyable than writing a personal introduction. If you believe that every life is irreplaceable and deserves dignity and respect, then we're probably cool.

DOGE engineer Edward Coristine, 19, is the grandson of a notorious KGB spy.

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

The measles outbreak in West Texas is spreading because of low vaccine rates and undetected infections, health officials tell CBS.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

OMG everyone!! You won’t believe what I just caught! After 9 years on our property, the holy grail animal that I thought we had no chance of seeing just entered my cage trap that I use for rats. Meet the Chuditch (Western Quoll). Released safe and unharmed this morning. I am still in shock.

Curious how poison baiting for foxes on public land in northwest Victoria avoids killing threatened and protected wilkerr (dingoes) in the same area? The Unprotection Order for wilkerr in this region was recently removed. It is illegal to kill wilkerr unless a permit is issued.

In which I make a big mess visualising the DOGE cuts with large jars of water youtu.be/lG9pxvpGY-Q?...

Yeah, let's go to Mars ... you fucking idiot!! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Australien Government has made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

Dept of Social Services disclosed private legal letters with the Catholic Church which were then leaked to The Australian newspaper and used in concert to try and silence survivors of abuse by a senior Church member. Yeah, it's nuts. But they admitted it. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

I can’t pretend i’m not disappointed. 764 signatures and I am so thankful for every one and for all of the incredible Blue Sky peeps who have relentlessly shared & pushed. 24 days to go and we have to get a move on if parliament is to take this seriously #auspol www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

The Guardian Australia r now quoting “YouGov” polling in its latest report re “interest rate alone will not affect people’s vote” Why the fk are news sources -even supposedly credible news sources - quoting a substandard & proven biased poll? Particularly a poll privately owned in ANOTHER COUNTRY

After the most marginalised people in our community have had their humanity questioned and their protections removed, who's on the next rung of the ladder, and how precarious is their sense of comfort and wellbeing? #auspol #AustraliaVotes

I find it interesting that the media in QLD have swapped out their “youth crime” mantra to the generic reporting of “home invasions”, “robberies” & “assaults” “Youth crime” has mysteriously disappeared off the media radar since the QLD election. It’s either a fkn miracle or it was a fkn lie.

Another reminder of why Dutton is unfit to be the PM.. The list keeps on growing, now at 85. Pretty sure there are hundreds more reasons over this miscreant’s entire career in politics. & let’s not forget his stint in the QLD police force 💩 independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

It’s like the entire US is in a state of shock or something. Every moment like this looks and feels like a bad comedy sketch. But nobody will step up and even attempt to stop it.

Oh sod off. As if you guys really give a toss. She's just another easy target for your sad, bigoted readership.

Isn’t it interesting how the word “activist” is used as a put down against those who support marginalised people, but when billionaires like Gina Rinehart or Elon Musk are activists for more money and power, their behaviour is never talked about pejoratively as “activism”.

Spot on from Bernard Keane. Just about every mainstream media outlet, not to mention both major political parties, use fear, hate & division to get clicks or win votes. The cynicism & paucity of moral leadership in this country really sucks.

Excellent read by Ryan Broderick in today’s “Garbage Day” newsletter. Here’s an excerpt. The US context just as valid here. Very disturbing.

It makes so much sense that after decades of deregulating everything, unfettering markets, and absorbing reams of neoliberal indoctrination, that the richest person would be able to buy the US Presidency. You can't say it wasn't always coming.
