"These guidelines were written by almost-retired professors who never could have met these standards back in the 1980s, when all you needed for tenure was 1.5 publications and a bottle of scotch in your desk." buff.ly/TOh3MUc

One of the lessons of Liberal Party over my lifetime is that the next leader will be worse than you thought the last one was.

Love this response from Sally McManus. Going to university is not elitist. Getting educated and learning about the world is not elitist. Gaining skills that you contribute to society is not elitist. The Liberals’ anti-intellectualism anti-university “elitism” crap is totally Trumpist #DontRiskDutton

Peter Dutton made a new election ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

On the day of LNP’s big $21 Billion Defence package, Shadow Def Minister Andrew Hastie craps his pants & declines #abc730 interview. Ferguson “He declined” So weak, obviously scared of having to explain his policy & of being grilled on his misogynistic views against women in the ADF

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

"Propaganda during the 30s often showcased Hitler's private life in ways that softened his image. Stories depicted him playing with dogs, interacting with children & enjoying leisure activities. This made him seem a caring & gentle person, contrasting sharply with the realities of Nazi policies."

To the gross techno-fascist CEOS who stood at Trump's inauguration and are now about to suffer serious losses thanks to the tariffs, I say: suffer in your jocks

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world. 
I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

They're coming for the dissidents, the scholars, the lawyers, and the media first, which is what dictators often do. Shut up the loud opposition, shut up the people who know history best, shut up the tools of legal opposition, and shut up those trying to provide transparency.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
