Same for me. And then I jumped straight into Matrix and that was equally impactful... Groff's writing is unique and inspired and it's changed the way I think about novels...

New video shows full minute before Herzog protester punched by police A new video filmed by a bystander and shared with ABC NEWS Verify shows the full minute before two police officers began punching a protester, shedding light on the beginning of the altercation.

Here's your context @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social. Now it's time to investigate these police thugs. There must be consequences for police brutality. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

$30 billion for 6 submarines @albomp.bsky.social?!! I am so angry about this. I want my tax $ to pay for climate resilience, housing, FirstNations-led orgs that will close the gap, teacher training to get our public schools back on track, and healthcare. Not subs!!!! Labour WTF?!!!

Media challenge: Stop using the word "immigration" in phrases about abduction, assault, murder, and so on. Immigration means the movement of people into a country for purposes of residency. What's being "enforced" here is terror & crimes against humanity.

Inquiry finds British committed genocide on Indigenous Australians - BBC News It is the country's first formal "truth-telling" inquiry that ran for four years from 2021.

With over 400 documented massacres Australia-wide, this finding is appropriate. The brutality began with the first fleet and has continued for generations. The truth-telling process is difficult and vital, and it needs to happen in all states. Then, justice. #FirstNations www.bbc.com/news/article...

The soccer club, the influencer and the fight to save a beloved West Bank institution A campaign to save a West Bank football pitch from demolition has gone global. The sport's most powerful bodies, as well as social media influencers, have intervened to pressure Israeli authorities to...

Save the Aida, West Bank football pitch. All kids need a place to play.

Sure, but he committed to the full Uluru Statement and it's crickets on Treaty + Truth. Our First Nations communities are still reeling from the failed referendum and the impacts of the No campaign, and deaths in custody, kids in jail, all the disparities in education, health, opportunity deepen...

Shame on @albomp.bsky.social + @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social This is clearly police brutality. This is clearly an attack on our democracy and right to peaceful protest. These police were clearly emboldened by the overreach of the NSW Govt.

This is so great!

I am absolutely disgusted with @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social's "successful police operation" last night. State-sanctioned violence against peaceful protestors... what a disgrace. I call on the NSW Govt + NSW Police to investigate and prosecute the officers involved.

Read our advisory committee member, Josh Bornstein's important contribution in the ABC today (link in bio) about why Albanese should not have invited Herzog to Australia.

Rescind the invitation, now.

So the Australian govt does have "shared values" with the Trump regime after all. #auspol

Did these writers also pull out? Or did they just miss out? Just curious.

Why the US attacked Venezuela: Oil, sanctions and Maduro The US first framed its illegal Venezuela attack as an operation to oust authoritarian Maduro. But it didn't take long for Trump to reveal a more lucrative motive: oil

"A world dependent on fossil fuels is one that’s riven with conflict, instability & human rights abuses. Much of the oil & gas that the world uses is controlled by regimes that are undemocratic & systematically abuse human rights... the global addiction to fossil fuels entrenches that harmful power"

Doctors Without Borders among dozens of aid groups Israel moves to shut down in Gaza Allied nations condemned the decision, warning it could halt relief operations within weeks.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is far from over.

Today, the Israeli government announced that it would suspend the aid work of several humanitarian organizations that provide lifesaving aid to Palestinians in Gaza living through what Amnesty International and other groups labeled as a genocide.

Last week Macquarie received the biggest #climate vote against a bank in Australia’s history.

Investors want to see Macquarie do more – as do the 10,000+ people who signed an open letter calling on Macquarie to stop funding fracking.

So much power, AND lots and lots of water! Setting up new data centres in areas prone to drought and water shortages is a serious issue.

South Gaza: Tents, Food & Water **With Famine on the rise, we will significantly lower tent purchases and focus on food (rice and bread) and water over the next couple of weeks**

Temperatures are ~33°C, Gaza continues to be starved, the shortage of water and food is dire, governments continue to refuse to #SanctionIsrael

Help the Sameer project provide water & a little sustenance if you can

Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it.

We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

Critical minerals: The one issue COP has forgotten about To reverse the climate crisis, COP30 must address the unforeseen consequences of the critical mineral boom, which is adding more deforestation and CO2 emissions

Transition minerals are mined in deeply destructive ways, threatening Indigenous people, communities & ecosystems vital for carbon storage. The green transition must also be a just transition, one that protects people & the planet, not just profits.

Just listened to this interview and learned a lot - especially about the labour/exploitation that is so typical of empire. I'm looking at AI with a broader perspective now. Highly recommend this, and am adding Karen Hao's book to my must-read list www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
