In a normal severe storm. I've gone nearly 40 hours without power. This is is the first time. I've had a power black out during a catastrophic fire warning. THIS. THIS right here. Should never have hapoened!

Remember when Barnaby Joyce voted against this? If you don’t, here’s a reminder that HE FUCKING VOTED AGAINST THIS #Auspol

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Frikkin amazing stuff.

Spending the morning virtually in Darwin via ABC radio, listening everyone being told to stay home, and to extensive discussions of chainsaws.

This week’s #SundayShot has @drdemography.com and @eddyjokovich.bsky.social plus an interview with @seankelly.bsky.social on the Quarterly Essay that’s got everyone talking. What’s not to love? Join us! And subscribe to us! youtube.com/@thesundayshot

#ashes I don't know what this is but it wasn't test cricket. It's the shitification of a once great game through the dumbing down of society and ever increasing need for instant gratification. The fact anyone would laud this as a great test represents a failure of society. T20 dross.

Thoughtful journey. radioinfo.com.au/news/wisdom-...

This morning at #COP30 in Belém, Australian joined a group led by Colombia that will plan a fossil fuel phaseout outside the UN process, with the first meeting to be held next year in Santa Marta. It is the most significant statement AUS has made on future of fossil fuels to date. Story to come.

😡 A drone flew right into the window of a new building in Odesa. UAVs are attacking the city at very low altitudes, invisible to air defenses.

#Ashes Years ago, before we lost Phil Hughes, one of the Chappell brothers wrote a newspaper article saying modern players need to be taught to bat as if they're not wearing a helmet. Watch the ball at all times as players now turn their head away and take hits to the helmet. I think he is correct

Oh dog, how many more Liberal and National leaning staff will come out of the bloody ABC? The latest is Kellie Sloane, Liberal leader NSW. What’s in the water at Aunty that employs so many conservatives? Disgraceful. 🤪

Ethnic cleansing, torture, oppression, dispossession, slavery will continue, as it has since 1948. Palestine is not the threat…Isreal is the threat.

@albomp.bsky.social and foreign minister #pennywong seem to have been outplayed by Türkiye. They were so confident Mali in SA was already spending money. It’s embarrassing. #auspol

@olivia-reingold.bsky.social adds a new lie to her pile here, claiming that "multiple outlets had to issue corrections" based on her "reporting." Her own outlet disproves that.

The plan would even demand that Russian be recognised as an official state language in Ukraine and that the local branch of the Russian Orthodox Church receive official status, echoing long standing Kremlin political goals. That is going to be a no.

After Trump (again) pushes Ukraine to surrender to Russia, and it predictably fails (again), then he tries saving face (again), will media subject us to another round of "changed tone" and "getting tough on Putin" headlines? Was Trump rolling out a literal red carpet for Putin not enough?

In Ternopil the number of wounded has risen to 92, including 18 children. Authorities also confirm 25 killed. Emergency crews are still working at the site as rescue operations continue through the night.

Moreover, with only a couple of days to go, almost all of the main issues are yet to be agreed, notably including which country will host the next COP31 talks in 2026… www.carbonbrief.org/... 2/2

She said this is not a ceasefire. It is just a continuation of the genocide as usual. Israel is only referring to it as a ceasefire to appease its western allies.

❗️In Ternopil, ten people have been killed and dozens injured as a result of the Russian attack. People may still be trapped under the rubble, – Zelenskyy. The President emphasized that every such attack proves that the pressure on Russia is still insufficient.

I hate gambling, but why would Glenn McGrath get dumped from #ABC cricket commentary? He’s not staff, he would only be required not to mention the sponsorship, or talk odds. I’m betting on another timid and out of order, AbC Manager.

Affordable housing, Adelaide style. 20 min from cbd, 3 br but a yard! With a deposit of, say, 5%, repayments would be almost $40k a year! Deposit if 100k reduces payments to about $35k year. www.realestate.com.au/property-hou...

@davemilbo.bsky.social Congratulations Dave - and to @jodyer.bsky.social - on how well the "Sunday Shot" is going. Lots of backroom effort, but tremendously well worthwhile. Good guests; always stimulating discussion. Enjoyed seeing @antounissa.bsky.social yesterday. Also discussion re young people.

Kate Hore #aflw Melb Dees is a really terrific footballer. Just saying!

If you aren’t watching #AFLW semi final Melb v Adelaide, you’re missing out on a great game.

IDF soldiers escorted settlers into a Palestinian olive grove in the West Bank and detained the resident who called police to report them – as another settler broke into a cemetery and defiled graves

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

I am still shaking my head that NSW allows Nazi march but fined people in environment March. The nSW police are the people who strip search kids.

I'll have a beer on the deck and watch this noisy weather system do its thing. #weather #radelaide

#BREAKING | Israel is preventing the entry of essential baby supplies to Gaza, per UNICEF A total of 938,000 ready-to-use infant formula bottles have been held back since last August which means nearly one million bottles of milk that could reach children suffering remain blocked.

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

2/"The military had to do this from the areas of Novouspenivske, Nove, Okhotniche, Uspenivka, and Novomykolaivka due to massive enemy assaults, over 400 artillery strikes per day, and the destruction of shelters." Fierce battles continue for Rivnopillia, Solodke, and Yablukove.

My mom is running late to her friend’s surgery because her commuter ferry is surrounded by orcas. Seattle problems!

Had a breast exam today. After being contorted & smushed into a glass shield, then gracelessly crushed w/ a vice, the tech asked if I was okay. I said my neck was stiff. She replied, “And you’re only 50. I put 80-year olds in this thing.” My one thought: No way this device was designed by women.

Screw it, the BBC should go back to an older model reach out to its commonwealth sister corporations the ABC here in Australia and the CBC in Canada to fund/create #DoctorWho. I’d be happy with some of my tax money going towards it, and for the ABC to get the Australian distribution rights again.

And when Trump says he "will not allow" trans athletes to compete in the Los Angeles Olympics, which I'm just hearing reported, how does he have the authority to decide any such thing? Or is he just mouthing off in his presumption of absolute monarchy again? #USPolitics

This bloke in line for state funeral ffs!

So here's the favour I want to ask: if this post crosses your feed, please take this chance to support the Gitxsan and Gitanyow by watching our latest HGA and passing it on. Help us put Ksi Lisims and PRGT on the map 🙏

So I feel honoured to lend them a hand by using our platform to help shine a spotlight on Ksi Lisims and PRGT. But they need the help, as Canadian media has been virtually silent about this story and thus most Canadians know absolutely nothing about what's going down here.

Not to mention….

RBA chokes growth by keeping interest rates high. It worries about non-existent inflation than says we might be trapped in slow growth for years! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11... #releasetherates #auspol

I must have missed this in mainstream media.

Or 600,000 cattle die in QLD and nothing is done. It’s now been seven years. Tens of thousands more died in similar events ever since.
