I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

This morning I noticed the interview Nasser Mashni gave to ABC yesterday was quietly pulled from the ABC website without explanation. As the horror in Gaza escalates, it looks like ABC has chosen to supress a crucial Palestinian voice. The ABC should explain why. www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/27/n...

52years ago today, Virgin Records rolled the dice on their very first release: Tubular Bells by 19-year-old Mike Oldfield. One haunting melody, one fearless debut, and one label launched into the stratosphere.

My theory is that we are soon going to achieve artificial human-level intelligence, partly by making machines smarter but mainly by making people dumber.

🧵 I’ve talked a lot about disordered discourse, conspiracies, polarisation, denialism. But maybe the better question is: why does this keep happening? Why does our shared reality keep fracturing? What are the drivers I talk about as a dimension of disordered discourse?

Each election, Australia's National Library collects materials from every candidate, party and group involved. It's one blind spot? Social media. The NLA can't archive content from platforms like TikTok which "risks a lot of it ending up missing in our collective memory" www.crikey.com.au/20...

Omg, ABC is demonising the tax on millionaires super. These extremely wealthy individuals have options. Most people don't. Stop being greedy. ABC, please stop shilling for the rich man. You're beginning to sound like Tim Wilson #auspol

It’s important to pay attention to the fact that there are simultaneous efforts to criminalize mask-wearing by citizens and to standardize the wearing of face-obscuring gaiters by people purporting to be law enforcement.

This is a relief, but it will only really matter if there's a new focus on holding Labor to account - in much higher resolution and at a much higher frequency. Renewables, transport and heavy industry progress should all be tracked without bias. "Give them more time" is no excuse, now.

Voting in Australia is a joy. It's on a Saturday, you can support a local school on the day, or you can vote early, too. No one was angry, everyone respectful. And yes, #DemocracySausage. I won't say who I voted for, but the ballot this year was as tall as Ms 3. #ausvotes

Australia has compulsory voting; I made this video to explain why: it’s not about forcing us to vote, it’s about forcing governments to ensure a ballot reaches EVERY CITIZEN’S HAND, & we owe it to conservative, rural Tasmanian Senator Herbert Payne in 1924 for making that argument. #auspol
