Labor supports Ukraine, I'll still vote Labor

It's what US Presidents do. aje.io/l1o36e

On #CharlesDarwin's 216th birthday, it's worth reflecting that he recognized the threat of species invasions at a time when very few other scientists did. [a thread 🧵...] #invasivespecies #bioinvasions

The number of threatened animal species in Australia continues to increase. www.abs.gov.au/statistics/e... 🌏🌐 #bioinvasions

This short video on the false promise of using AI for climate is brilliant. The speaker worked years at Microsoft and resigned over the AI's broken promise. It's only 5 minutes, but a high quality 5 minutes:

Remember when Sam Dastyari paid back $1600 loan he shouldn’t have taken and mainstream media went *berserk* for months? ABC730 & Leigh Sales even took THREE camera crews to his presser to nail him. #Dutton’s “lucky” bank share purchases day before govt bailout hardly causes tiny ripples? Why? How?

NEW: The new spillovers in Nevada and Arizona cows are making experts rethink how H5N1 spreads to cows — with implications for how to contain it. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Standing up to TWO dictators now.

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.

Wait for the ears 😊 Releasing a Greater Bilby (Macrotis lagotis) back into the wild after we caught it as part of a monitoring survey earlier this week. 📍Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, Badimia Country #WildOz

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02... ABC Australia finally gets round to a story that is typical of why so many are angry with Israel atm instead of its usual head in the sand ‘it’s all antisemitism’ stance

it is concerning that both the leader of the Liberal Party and the federal Nationals director have both pedaled the claim that Labor is speeding up giving citizenship to immigrants because they'll vote for them. This is dangerously close to Great Replacement theory imo

I still don't understand how this isn't huge news. This is absolutely iconic Tasmanian alpine vegetation — around Cradle Mountain ffs — about to be burnt and killed, TONIGHT.

Are snakebites on the rise in Australia? Here’s my live ABC news TV interview on the subject. youtu.be/zH7DT0HnOj0

‘Rio Tinto’s aluminium boss says its smelters in NSW & QLD are doomed if they rely on coal-fired power stations, as cheaper battery storage for green energy becomes more viable.’ Well that’s inconvenient, Mr Dutton #auspol #AusVotes25 #energy #Climate www.theaustralian.com.au/business/min...

Niece cinematographer record from yesterday, Antartic peninsular. You only get one chance to do this.

Feral cat research continues in Australia.

So how’s it going USA?

Regular reminder to Australians that if you vote LNP, this is what you’ll get 👇

I’m with Grace. Murdoch is one of Australia’s most powerful unelected, anti-science climate-change deniers. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

The US is showing clear signs of true fascism. We in Aust should remain very aware of who the true enemy is. bsky.app/profile/john... @euanritchie.bsky.social

Even if there’s no acute crisis of trust in science, we shouldn’t minimise the disproportionate impact vocal minorities who distrust science may have on policy and society.
