Speaking of Minns, turns out his own security expert, Alexandra Caples warned that expanding police powers and restricting protest rights could “increase radicalisation”. She was promptly ignored

To clarify, according to the latest from the President: the US did not attack Iran because it anticipated Iran would attack it because Israel was going to attack Iran. The US attacked Iran because it forced Israel to attack Iran because Iran was going to attack Israel after the US attacked Iran.
Khamenei Senior is being replaced by Khamenei Junior, remarkable progress on the regime change front.
Cut-price Costello Tim Wilson on Sky just now: "It’s very clear to me that when there’s an increase in petrol prices, Jim Chalmers collects more excise revenue."
Excise is not based on price changes. It's indexed twice a year in line with inflation.
Is this good

How is it helpful to collapse data from 29 countries as varied as India to Belgium, and say it represents the beliefs of a universal, amorphous Gen Z man?
That big scary survey about Gen Z men being more regressive than Boomers is so flawed. An image of young men is being manufactured in the media and we should be very concerned about that.
Why do pollsters keep doing this???
A potential point of discussion for political/media/industry/diplomatic/kitchen table/whatever debate here. Likely to be relevant to most things. Evidence is pretty compelling. But who’s to say really. Carry on.

scholars Andreas Malm and Alf Hornborg, among others, highlight the manner in which the current framing of the Anthropocene blunts the distinctions between the people, nations, and collectives who drive the fossil-fuel economy and those who do not. The complex and paradoxical experiences of diverse people as humans-in-the-world, including the ongoing damage of colonial and imperialist agendas, can be lost when the narrative is collapsed to a universalizing species paradigm. As Malm and Hornborg state, "a clique of white British men literally pointed steam-power as a weapon—on sea and land, boats and rails—against the best part of human-kind, from the Niger delta to the Yangzi delta, the Levant to Latin America." Not all humans are equally implicated in the forces that created the disasters driving contemporary human-environmental crises, and I argue that not all humans are equally invited into the conceptual spaces where these disasters are theorized or responses to disaster formulated.
written a decade ago, I still set this piece (Todd 2017) in a class on decolonial futures because it remains so very disturbingly relevant.
its not “humanity” dropping the bombs and setting the oil fields on fire tho is it. Repeatedly launching shonky rockets to explode mid-air is a pretty exclusive hobby. Most people are not abusive image generator enthusiasts.

The University Antisemitism Report Card project by Czar Segal is not new.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in America run a similar process and have done so since circa 2024.
V2.0 of the ADL report card came out in March 2025.
Coincidentally Segal was in the US at the same time.

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.
