Made it!

Phew! Just Madeira.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

So very, very sad.

Love it!

So good!

If the truth pains you, @sydmorningherald.bsky.social, you are the problem. Not the truth. #auspol #IStandWithCathyWilcox

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

Thank you to Ian Smith, everyone’s favourite TV neighbour, Harold Bishop. Ian is voting 1 Zoe Daniel with what may be his last ever vote. I'm so grateful for his belief in me, his belief that keeping Goldstein independent is exactly what the parliament needs.

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

Clive’s world.

Sydney caravan a ‘fake terrorism plot’ and antisemitic attacks a scheme to divert police resources, authorities allege ‘The caravan plot was an elaborate scheme contrived by organised criminals domestically and from offshore,’ AFP deputy commissioner Krissy Barrett says

We have new laws with seriously dangerous consequences in response to what was a fake plot police believe was designed to divert attention and resources to enable other criminal acts. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Jacinta Price has had to repay expenses she improperly claimed from the taxpayer 13 TIMES!!! And she is under investigation for a 14th breach! And Dutton has appointed her in charge of reducing govt waste! The incompetent corrupt Coalition is just trolling Australian voters now. #auspol #AusVotes25

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Barnaby Joyce and others say you can’t recycle wind turbines.

Well - these surfboards are made from recycled wind blades from Victoria.

More than 85% of what is in a wind turbine can be recycled.

So let’s just get on with delivering cleaner, cheaper electricity.

The difference between Labor & Liberal/ Nationals.

I find it interesting that the media in QLD have swapped out their “youth crime” mantra to the generic reporting of “home invasions”, “robberies” & “assaults”

“Youth crime” has mysteriously disappeared off the media radar since the QLD election.

It’s either a fkn miracle or it was a fkn lie.

I’d actually forgotten this. Suspect others may have too. Can as many people as possible please share this so we never forget?

......and a record percent of Australian voters won't hear about it.

This morning on ABC RN Breakfast, Sally Sara's first qn to Treasurer @jimchalmers.bsky.social was this: "Will this rate cut get Labor over the line at the election?" srsly. Yet Sara failed to even mention THIS 👇 fun fact. #auspol #ausecon #AusVotes2025

Get this shared please

Dear ABC Mgmt,
People read, watch & listen to ABC News bc they want intelligent, informed, nuanced reporting, interviews, commentary & analysis of world events, politics, news. Rptedly platforming & pushing the tabloid news media's narrative on a story is insulting to your audience. 😔 #journalism

AUS mainstream news media:
If a lesbian couple feel unsafe bc of the actions of a male cabbie or a white policeman ignoring their complaint, the reporting will focus on criticising the words of the non-white member of the couple, rather than on the fact the women felt unsafe. #sexism #racism 😔

According to the Bureau of Statistics, electricity prices fell 17.9% in the year to December 2024 and 21.5% annual fall to November.

So where did The Thug get his figure from?

More than a little ironic that the “Coalition warns” about this - the Coalition is in this up to its neck in the paid, targeted use it makes of social media to stir up culture wars and misinformation.

Every time Trump or an acolyte blames ‘diversity’ for something, he’s being racist/homophobic/transphobic/xenophobic…the list goes on. Call it what it is
