This is maybe the weakest broadcast of the Aus Open I can remember. More shots of Australian flags in the crowd then replays of tight points (yeah we get it, it’s Australia?), Woodbridge is constantly making mistakes and McEnroe chimes in once every hour to make a very obvious point.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

Across the country (at a state & federal level) the LNP have only one goal: protect the profits of their fossil fuels industry billionaire mates. To gain votes they offer nothing but racism, hatred, bigotry & fear-mongering division. And a complicit media rarely calls them out on it. #auspol #WApol

you absolutely should read the classics because they've endured through history for a reason and you ought to know how people who hadn't had their brains rotted by smart phones and internet thought and loved and worked. It will make you more interesting as a writer.

People keep saying we only need to eat one of the billionaires and the rest will fall in line, and that's probably true, but I think it's also worth remembering we COULD eat them all

Many Australian users on Threads WANT to move to BlueSky (especially today!) but lament lack of Australian content. Australian Bluesky don't just LIKE posts, repost and quote for more visibility with your followers and boost Australian issues and posts. Start with this one!!

Accused by a whistleblower of covering up an oil spill that killed dolphins and sea snakes, Santos get fined just $10k 🤯 Santos spends up to $US3.3m per year on a private jet for their executives so I don’t think AUD10k is going to hurt them. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

Santos has been fined just $10,000 for a huge oil spill off the coast of WA. That's less than the average Australian household paid for groceries last year. #auspol @markogge.bsky.social

Can you imagine the media coverage if gay men were murdering straight men in the numbers that Australian women are being murdered, mostly by straight men known to them? Yet this terrifying crisis is being mostly ignored. 😔 #VAW Data: @sherelemoody.bsky.social

A man killed a mum battling cancer. She died yesterday after he attacked her with an axe on Sunday. Her child was at home. She is the 100th Australian woman killed in 2024. #VAW #DV 😔 Data: @sherelemoody.bsky.social

The City of Moreton Bay has banned homeless people from keeping pets or sleeping in vans, or face fines of up to $8,065. Are they supposed to sleep rough, on the street?! Wouldn't a van be safer? Why are they persecuting the vulnerable?! 😔 #homelessness

I agree with @sherelemoody.bsky.social completely. TIME got it wrong making Trump TIME'S Person of the Year. Gisèle Pelicot deserves the cover. #TIME #PersonOfTheYear Image credit: Sherele Moody. 🎨

The absolute insanity of this - in terms of the slippery slope it creates. A motion to ban changes to a bill, as well as any debate on that bill. All because he doesn't trust his own party to not make it an issue? www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...
