David Attenborough [whispering]:

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Just as well they blew up all Iran's' facilities several months ago and won't have to go to war...

Good one, Cathy, as usual.

Conversely, when your average worker retires after spending their entire adult life paying their social security premiums, they will receive an age pension somewhere between $30,646 per annum (singles) and $46,202 per annum (couples combined). Confined to living out their lives in poverty. 🙌🏻 #auspol

I feel this was a very poor reading of the room from Albanese and co.
Nobody wants us involved in another war.
Nobody especially wants us involved in another Middle East War.
Nobody wants Australians dying because an orange corrupt American criminal is trying to distract attention away from himself

Your constitutional rights cannot carry price tags. The SAVE Act attaches price tags anyway. Republicans in Congress are trying to monetize your participation. This commodification corrupts democracy.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

The rise of the far right across the Global North follows a consistent pattern: decades of worsening living standards overseen by a captured political establishment whose role is to manage decline while transferring state assets and wealth into the hands of an untouchable elite.

I’ll proudly be attending the Sydney Mardi Gras parade this weekend.

We honour the queer pioneers who were brutalised for protesting in 1978 and paved the Oxford St route.

Sadly, in 2026 the community faces ongoing attacks.

We will always fight for queer joy & liberation.

Children, when you hear their voices, are just that, children with hopes, dreams and rights. This is true in Syria or Sydney. We need to bring these Australian children home to let them live lives filled with hope and promise.

So sorry to hear this, Sandy. I hope it works out as well as possible. Thinking of you.

It is hard to be so powerless as things like this work through.

If you take over a social media platform for the purpose of creating a safe space for white nationalism, you're not a free speech hero, you're a white nationalist.

Oh my.

Way too many NASA disasters have been due in some part to faulty communication and a culture of pushing too hard. It's very troubling this is still happening, long after the lessons of Challenger were so tragically taught.

Single frame. Angus Taylor at table with generic colleague at whiteboard holding marker. On whiteboard, two headings: “GOOD IMMIGRANTS” and “BAD IMMIGRANTS”. Under first: “# People like us; # Business people; # Wealthy people; # Cheap labour”. Nothing yet under second. Taylor says: “Well, we DON’T want the kinds of people that come from repressive terrorist regimes…” Colleague says: “You mean, the people most likely to need somewhere safe to flee to?”

This inability is so prevalent that I've coined the term The Kangaroo Effect: an AI being unable to deal with something that acts in a manner that is not in the model it has been trained on. Some systems deny that kangaroos exist...
