Highly recommend an extremely enlightening analysis and opinion piece, ‘The Dark Heart of Trump’s Foreign Policy’ in the latest edition of The New York Times. It is a lengthy read but … it is Sunday! There is an audio version too. Many ramifications for Australia discernible.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Earth did not survive a collision with another planet, hundreds of asteroid and comet impacts, hundreds of millions of years of deadly radiation from space, five mass extinctions, and literally freezing solid for you to give up on her now.

Geez, I get sick of politicians, mainly majors, who constantly say "Australians are doing it tough" In a country as rich as ours, no Australian should be doing it tough. So, to say "Australians are doing it tough" it is a self-admission of long-term poor governance 🐝 #auspol

Two is a nice start. But it should be 100. Nothing about the role of Elon Musk in our society is normal or okay. And that was before he ran a fake federal Department with a basically unlimited budget and no Congressional oversight.

THanks, Steve. I shall have the manuscript of Weary Dunlop ready for you to read soon, and it is a long time since I have been so excited over a book. His story is a stunner, and I only hope I have done it justice.

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken: Vaccines are a miracle and amazing

Alexander Hamilton: Senate's power to approve/reject a president's top nominees “would tend greatly to prevent the appointment of unfit characters” including those “who had no other merit than that …of possessing the necessary… pliancy to render them obsequious instruments of [the POTUS’s] pleasure”

Eliminating the Department of Education will also eliminate Pell Grants. 34% of nursing students in the US use Pell Grants for their education. We need fewer healthcare workers, said no one ever.

Yes…. “research”

A thorough explosive article by Anthony Klan .. 💥💥 It’s not only Robodebt .. it’s the #NACC that continues a lack of governance, transparency, honesty & integrity. Brereton has been found to have engaged in ‘Officer Misconduct’ .. yet this is only the tip of the Iceberg. #auspol #AusCorruption

If you like it here, remember that others made it this way by making conscious decisions to not make it like Twitter. By not engaging with those who are just attention seeking, the “owning” people, we prevent the spread of that nonsense and bore them off the site.

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

It is sickening to see ABC News trudging doggedly along in the rear of the Murdochracy fatwah on Kevin Rudd. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

I'm going to start working on this, and will add to it as more major media outlets join Bluesky. I expect the pace to pick up very soon and very significantly. Major media has let us down significantly over the last ten years, but it's still vital to know what's being reported. go.bsky.app/2JyEju6

Having in the 1990s focussed on flatulance for my PhD, I’m requesting fellow Aussies to download the app Chart your Fart - CSIRO is conducting confidential research on bowel health in Australia. This may make us smile, even laugh, but actually serious stuff! Flatus can indicate a lot about biome etc

hey fellow aussies— *we’re* not going back! #auspol (posted from south australia, the worlds’ renewables superpower)

It has been two weeks since Gail Furness released her NACC Robodebt 6 report that rendered Commissioner Brereton's position untenable. That he continues to cling to power and further undermine the already cratering public confidence in the NACC is bizarre and, hopefully, temporary. #auspol

Engravings on 15,800 year old plaquettes from Germany reveal that Paleolithic societies used advanced fishing techniques & viewed fishing as both survival & cultural practice. These findings showcase the adaptability of Magdalenian communities & deepen our understanding of Upper Paleolithic culture.
