Proud to be one of 500+ Jews to sign this full page newspaper ad in SMH / the Age calling on Australia to reject calls for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. 1/4

In The Age today. If you can't get the editorial parts of the paper to acknowledge this reality, at least you can buy an ad.

Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders. The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it. Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Peter Lalor - who was sacked as a cricket commentator at SEN because the sound of his voice “made people feel unsafe” - donated his final pay cheque to UNICEF. Another decent person paying a high price for showing concern about children being bombed.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I get that the Melbourne Grammar rower’s death is devastating, I really do, but isn’t the breathless daily coverage by #TheAge on the main page, more than a little OTT? Not the crown prince of Melbs, not a public figure. Another young man with amazing prospects was murdered, but…

Even French far right politicians find this too awful - but have any of the Australian LNP attendees at the CPAC conference walked out, or even said a word, after a key note speaker gave a Nazi salute on stage?

Hard to see how Creative Australia is going to weather this. Lawyers now engaged. CA lost last year when Casey Jenkins sued after they withdrew an awarded grant after rightwing pressure, and this is - by several orders - a much worse decision. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/culture...

Blown away yet again by the quality of the journalism and commentary produced by independent news media - which I've gathered in one handy spot for you in TrueNorth. The difference between MSM & indie media is SO clear! Sign up here #auspol > truenorthnews.substack.com

The characters in Camus' The Plague spent (and wasted) a lot of energy and time debating whether the thing in front of them was, in fact, what it appeared to be. Castel put it best: "These little brutes always have an air of originality. But, at bottom, it’s always the same thing."

Curious about what happens to the ‘land of the free home of the brave’ narratives when the USA becomes a global pariah. A band of plucky young lawyers holds dogebags at bay to save the US from anarchy?? I expect writers of dystopia are working hard, but worried about publishers’/filmmakers’ courage

In Crikey, Catri Menzies-Pike and I wrote about Creative Australia's decision to drop Khaled Sabsabi from the Venice Biennale. If conservative media is going to dictate cultural policy, Creative Australia might as well pack up and call it a day www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/17/k...

One of the most odious politicians the LNP has ever produced, and that’s saying something. A media construct, and shame on them.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
