Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I don't want business people running my country, I want humanitarians and service providers. Housing, healthcare, food, water, education are not business ventures but essential services. There should never be profit to be made on providing essential services, these are human rights. #Auspol

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the #SundayShot this morning! For those who slept in (or struggle to break their #insiders addiction!), the livestream recording will be up shortly on YouTube for catch-up viewing of our great discussion with @joshbornstein.bsky.social and @janecaro.bsky.social.

Terrific from James Curran AFR & Mick Ryan SMH today. - The US cannot be relied on. - We have to face this & establish real defence self-reliance. (Me: AUKUS, a rubbish Morrison thought bubble unwisely embraced by Albo & Marles, can’t survive this.) #auspol

Joe Gebbia has joined #Musk #DOGE team. I won't be using AirBnB anymore!!! #JoeGebbia #AirBnB

I asked grok to make a picture with all the shapes with between 2 and 7 sides, and to label the shapes. Tag yourself. I'm deludion. AI is awesome.

The PM is making an extraordinary intervention to protect foreign-owned salmon farming companies, driving an endangered species to extinction. He's ignoring the science & torpedoing a long-awaited review of the damage being wreaked upon Macquarie Harbour. @eloise-carr.bsky.social on ABC News:

I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue. www.the-reframe.com/the/

10 people died after welfare payments wrongly cut off due to IT bugs in employment services system, discovered then ignored for 3 years. Ombo investigating. Govt won't turn off 'penalty zone' because private job agencies would lose profit briefings reveal. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

LNP or ALP? It’s like the choice between Woolies or Coles : no choice at all they’re in cahoots. #auspol

Have just deleted my #Google account and will be using another search engine. They can’t just accept Trump’s stupid edicts, rename seas, insult our friends & expect to use us or our data. As we say in Australia, do, please, get entirely rooted.

"DOGE is not about efficiency. It is about erasure. Democracy is being deleted in slow motion, replaced by proprietary technology and AI models. It is a coup, executed not with guns, but with backend migrations and database wipes." @brockm.bsky.social www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

If you have a fucking sniffle and you’re getting in a plane, wear a fucking mask. Some people are taking chemotherapy. Anyone who says that masks don’t work will be summarily blocked. Thank you for your consideration.

Strong piece from Bernard Keane here, on the increasingly insane levels of censorship being applied to anyone who happens to disagree with the policies of the State of Israel

When do we get our AUKUS U-boats again?

Not even once.

"The Palestinian people have a right to their land, and they are not intruders or immigrants to it who can be expelled." Saudi Arabia has condemned Israeli PM Netanyahu’s suggestion that the kingdom’s land be used to establish a Palestinian state aje.io/hmqrjv

Think about it

Nikki Savva knows how politicians think, especially the Liberal party versions. She absolutely destroys #temuTrump Peter Dutton here and rightfully takes aim at our local media for the lack of scrutiny on the bloke. Fantastic column.

The new cover of TIME.

Particularly when you look at what’s happening in the US - it’s surreal that any sane person can think this is good for us. #auspol

Because who doesn't love a wombat, so have a pair of wombats...( I had a nap after seeing this)

Which Sydney do you live in? Struck by this story and the ways we need to make our cities more equitable - particularly in the face of extreme climate www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Oh dear www.news.com.au/technology/m...

The United States is the only country on Earth where they have enough guns for a revolution, but they will never have one because they believe slavery is freedom.

The sacking of Peter Lalor over pro-Palestine social media posts has sparked a boycott from journalists. That's great. But what we also need from journalists is more focus on the lobby groups who appear to be in charge of staffing decisions at media bodies. www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/05/p...

This is the article that sums up the ridiculous state we now find ourselves in. Only Zionists have rights. No one feels safe in Zionist Australia theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Today I Learned that you can receive calls at Telstra public phones. I was playing with one and sent a free SMS to my mobile. To my surprise it had a call back number. I rang the number, and the public phone rang. Never knew they'd done that now that calls are free from public phones.
