The Totalitarian Principle (Revised): Everything is both forbidden and compulsory.

#OtD 28 Jun 1830 Joseph Grantham became the first officer of the new @metpoliceuk to be killed in the line of duty, in an incident which a jury later deemed to be "justifiable homicide" due to Grantham's "over exertion in the discharge of his duty" stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1002...

Dolphins, sea lions, sharks, rays and fish have all been sighted washed up dead on Adelaide's beaches as the impact of the algal bloom continues to be felt across the state.

Very pleased to see this excellent paper led by Brad Riley at ANU, with colleagues from Tangentyere, Wilya Junta and WSU, out today. doi.org/10.1016/j.er... A short thread on the findings:

A 13-year-old boy was left languishing in a homeless shelter for months because of Tasmanian child protection department's "gross negligence", a family member says.

The inconvenient truth for many is “Am Yisrael Chai” has been used more than “Globalize the Intifada” and “Free Palestine” alongside condoning/supporting mass violence or killing of people. Those are the same people who would have said “No Justice, No Peace” is a call for violence and looting.

The things they admit in the 2nd-to-last paragraph:

Daren Sammy says he held concerns about Adrian Holdstock's officiating from the recent ODI series in England, after several calls by the TV umpire went against West Indies in the first Test versus Australia 🗣️ Read more: bit.ly/4lrabuw

Powerful piece. “The men now working to rehabilitate Heydon – many..the same ones who once drank in his chambers – never saw his predation. They weren’t his targets. His charm & wit never came with a proposition. That behaviour was reserved for young women like me.” www.theage.com.au/national/i-w...

‘Gaza must be eliminated’: Israel’s airwaves are filled with pro-genocide propaganda | Arwa Mahdawi

When a planned massacre happens at all hours of the day, 24-7, for months, years, it's not a mere massacre. It is genocide. The textbook case of genocide. And it is on our conscience. Each and every one of us, whatever our beliefs, are weighed down by it. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The CCC recommends a former Geraldton police officer, who fatally shot an Indigenous woman in 2019, be prosecuted after he wrongfully rammed a police car into a vehicle and lied in official documents.

People saying that military spending is rising while governments are refusing to take action on the climate: military spending *is* the action they're taking on climate. That's the future they're dooming us to.

Wow. By my count, 81 #platypuses were killed for this rug. It was donated to the Western Australian Museum in 1906, from a donor in Victoria, where platypuses have been protected since 1892 (they were hunted heavily due to their thick, waterproof pelts). @kennytravouillon.bsky.social for scale.

#BREAKING 🚨 Brodie Palmer and Jack Brearley have been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Indigenous schoolboy Cassius Turvey Turvey, 15, was chased down and attacked with a metal pole while walking with friends after school in Perth in 2022

“Stockholm Syndrome” is not a real thing, and was invented in order to discredit criticism of police violence and incompetence.

Seriously, anyone still loyally defending Labor is either morally bankrupt or willfully stupid. #auspol

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions appeals against the sentence given to a former police officer who tasered a 95-year-old woman in an aged care home.

”The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours.” #LandOfTheFree

Quarantine the USA.

Humpback whales are spotted in the River Derwent as far up as Hobart's northern suburbs, using the river for some rest and relaxation during their northern migration.

Collaboration with the empire will not protect you.

Yesterday I saw Gaza and, I'm pretty sure, the ruins of Rafah, out the window of my plane to Europe and it's been at the front of my mind ever since

Almost three years after he was killed, the two men who murdered 15-year-old Perth schoolboy Cassius Turvey are set to be sentenced.

New research! - Fine-scale spatial risk models to predict avian collisions with power lines 🦅 @jappliedecology.bsky.social

No one is “replacing” teachers with AI. People are redistributing money to tech companies for AI and replacing permanent salaried workers with contingent, poorly paid ones whose labor is to patch together the system that is being broken by AI.

According to the eSafety Commissioner, in a stroppy letter to DIGI, age assurance will not require platforms to verify all their Australian users, and I would like to know what planet she is living on in which that would be possible www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/ind...

great result everyone! who would have predicted a poorly enforced ban and high taxes would lead people to buy cheap poisonous vapes made using chemicals sloshed together in some guy's backyard and attached to a battery www.ucdavis.edu/news/disposa...

Writing a book on something other than American exceptionalism? No need to apply for a Public Scholars grant from the National Endowment for the humanities. What a joke.
