Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Situation ongoing.

Musk is the living embodiment of AI: a broken, tech-bro tool that inserts itself into everyone's life unsolicited and makes everything worse.

On the ABC news tonight Jillian Segal, the Australia Government's Special Envoy on Anti-Semitism, said she thought Trump's idea of removing Palestinians from Palestine has merit. This is so bloody inappropriate.

The news out of South Australia that the SA Government has brought the state’s trains back to public hands is some excellent, genuinely exciting, news and governance in a deeply concerning time globally. Small, but good.

move over, lowering egg prices

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Not all heroes wear capes

The premise behind Dutton's statement is simply that women are inferior to men. If a man genuinely believe that and is concerned about being supplanted by an "inferior" woman, then perhaps he should try a bit harder to be better at his job? #auspol womensagenda.com.au/latest/peter...

Never again? My @smh @theage cartoon.

Old man yells at cloud

Social media is: "I HATE [NAME OF AWFUL PERSON]! HERE ARE FIFTY MEMES AND PICS ABOUT THEM! LIKE AND REPOST IF YOU ALSO HATE THEM BUT WANT TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP SEEING THEM!"

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

It's not fascism it's just an oligarchy is not the comforting "insight" some people seem to think it is.

We have to believe we are smart enough to vote in a strong cross bench and vote to keep Dutton out. We have to believe we can explain this clearly enough over the next few months. We have to believe we are up to taking this chance to change the country and succeeding. We have to believe.

The people wanting to invade Greenland say it's too cold to go outside for the inaugural.

The horror… #auspol #ausvotes2025

Burning. My @smh @theage cartoon.

This experiment with letting a small handful of people amass most of the wealth in a society and then inflict something devastating on the world when they reach middle age and realize no one likes them seems to have run its 5000-year course. We might not need to run additional trials.

The Coalition have also taken lessons from Trump and other nationalistic campaigns in recent years -claim time is 'running out' to 'save' the country. There's no substance behind any of it - you only need to read Boris Johnson's book to see how much of a joke so much of it is, but it will run

So many men in charge of information have constructed their world with as few women as possible (except mum & current wife). Tech bros, far right politicians, podcaster boys, media company execs. We’re decorative, or don’t register except as rich benefactors, citizens to be controlled or customers.

People believe all kinds of bullshit conspiracies but the actual conspiracy to cook the planet for profit is somehow not getting as much traction as some weird shit about cyanide in fruit or seed oils or whatever.

For a bunch of Twitter refugees y’all spend a lot of time talking about it.

What is less fun than covid is the rebound covid 10 days later. 😭

The theme song for RFK’s new health administration is just ‘Dumb Ways to Die’.

Covid update. I know you all know this already but it sucks.
