Here's me. "Trump wants to turn Gaza into a casino resort. Ita Buttrose thinks only an ‘activist’ could object"

Tech bros cheering on the cuts to grant funding built businesses and wealth on the back of decades of university R&D work. Much of that knowledge was given away to the public. This is basic pulling-up-the-ladder nonsense via rewriting history. They owe the public, not the other way around.

A talent for following the ways of yesterday is not sufficient to improve the world of today. (King Wu-ling, 307 BC) So here's to a 2025 of new ways and a better world for all, not just ourselves.

I have heard it said that Far UVC “may lead to a future free from Covid,” and while I suppose this is a hopeful finding, we are yet again placing our hopes on a technological solution in the future, to make up for our inability to take care of each other in the present.

My how backwards we’ve landed. Shifting guidance once again to align with desires instead of data. This is outrageous for a virus that can do what it does, but go ahead and celebrate this. It actually fits BSL-4 criteria so this is ludicrous.

What a disgusting MAGA take on the Canberra Times 🤢 How nice that this journo can laugh at women getting "hysterical" over *checks notes* losing their right to bodily autonomy. Obviously these women are just "hysterical" "harpies" 🫠

Why can you still #smell things wearing an effective #mask? You can smell some nasty things like smoke and rotten eggs even with fit tested #N95 #respirators which block tiny viruses/bacteria because the smell molecules have atomic masses that are 17 million times less than a #virus. 🧪🧵1/ #COVID

ABC's Four Corners have handed over its footage to WA Police. For what it's worth, this sets a unsettling new precedent for media in Australia. ABC sets the standard. Now it can do this to everyone, it will.

Dutton has given us a clear picture of what Australians could expect from a Dutton prime ministership. The picture is an alarming collage of Trumpian disregard for truth, dignity and decency and Morrison level self belief, overlaid by a non functioning national interest filter
