Just a reminder that the ABC could have settled the Antoinette Lattouf case a long time ago, for a few dollars and an agreement to let Antoinette serve out her final two shifts www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

What impact does this case have on every single journalist who relies on an employer? What does it tell us about what we’re consuming and where we’re getting our information? It’s such a dark moment for Australia.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Federal government should initiate a wholesale review of ABC governance, charter, complaints process, independence etc. What’s been revealed in the past week is an indictment on basically every layer of management. And it’s only been revealed by this case. Imagine what we don’t know.

For decades Australians have been told a lie. We’ve been told that only the major parties can govern. But do you feel like they’ve been solving the problems we face? As a voter said, “It’s a choice between sht, and shtter.” #auspol #IndependenceWorks #ZoeDaniel

Google has renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America in its Maps application for users in the U.S. People located in Mexico will still see the name Gulf of Mexico, while international users will see both names, the company said. The change follows an executive order from President Trump.

1. Here are just a few of the ways in which Starmer’s Labour Party seems determined to alienate its voters and lose the next election. As they pile up, you have to keep pinching yourself and asking, “what the hell is it playing at?” 🧵

With the snow and ice, I couldn't get my car out of the driveway last night. I tried everything for traction: pieces of cardboard, cat litter, sand. In the end, what worked best was disengaging the emergency brake.

Just saw a no-longer relevant evacuation notice on instagram from five hours ago and remembered — that’s right, due to hyper-monetization every major social network no longer shows you life-saving breaking news as it happens. They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed “he likes fire.”

Confidence burst into the room and boldly sat in capability’s chair. He put his feet up on the table and dared us to say something. We glanced furtively at one another, but said nothing, because we didn’t know what capability looked like.
