The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

Did someone mention food riots 🤔 (Back in 2018👀) ‘Tinderbox’ UK may be one shock away from food riots, experts say Weakened food security could tip into unrest after a cyber-attack, extreme weather or conflict, analysis finds www.theguardian.com/food/2026/fe...

Public surgery through the private system. Program spruiked to cut wait lists. Patients told it was “fully covered by Medicare”. But the allied health appointments post-op are in the private rather than public system and charged at full price www.smh.com.au/national/que...

Imagine being a low income patient and told you can skip a five or ten year surgery wait and it’s all covered by Medicare. Then discovering post-surgery your rehab isn’t covered by the public system and can cost thousands you can’t afford. And you won’t recover properly if you don’t get the rehab

hell yea!

I’m sorry this word hurts you and I couldn’t stop myself from saying it I’m sorry for the way the world diminishes your humanity I too am angry at the BBC for allowing the word to be broadcast around the world But he wasn’t sorry, empathetic or sympathetic at all

Even if you didn’t intend to hurt people, even if you didn’t have control over it, why not feel sorry that people were hurt? I think I am fundamentally confused by this allergy to empathizing enough to want to apologize and say I’m sorry you were hurt

Advance Australia purports to be 'grassroots' but the pro-fossil pro-Israel lobby group is actually funded by millionaires & billionaires such as Packer, Rinehart, Liebler. @sstephanietrann.bsky.social investigates. #auspol #AEC michaelwest.com.au/the-billiona...

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it. The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

Still learning things! bsky.app/profile/chim...

Anyway, on a related note: BAFTA chose not to nominate British-born Delroy Lindo for his performance in Sinners and that’s just straight up racist bullshit Nobody and no condition made them do it either

This was also an important part of what I learned, that usually the content of the outbursts involve words that upset the individual having the outbursts bsky.app/profile/alex...

Something I learned and did not previously understand is that these kinds of outbursts are specifically related to intrusive thoughts. so for the word to come out, the person has to have the word pop up in their head. So we need to ask, structurally, why this word remains there, in this context.

After I heard about the incident a few hours ago, I spent some time reading about N-word tics and intrusive thoughts and what I came away with was a feeling of deepened anger about the way white supremacist society has associated “Black person” with this word so it’s there, in people’s brains

Seriously you ever thought about why you would be looking everywhere online for people to bug over & over if you were starving & injured & living in rubble & bombs were falling all around you? People need to understand their online behavior is the exact evidence you need that they are who they say.

I hate being this stressed/depressed for so long 🥲

This is to say that if you become more unwell, it might be worth *carefully* revisiting supps/meds you've put aside in the past. There's a chance you might benefit from them now in a way that you didn't previously. ⚠️ Please be aware that some things could make your ME worse. 2/2

It’s a bit rich for a Prime Minister who won’t get Australia out of AUKUS to talk about anyone else’s poor choices

This is an experience every single member of Parliament should have to make before starting their week's work on doing legislation. Immediately after each such routine they should look at this graph, write down what it means and how many people they like to kill or protect that week. Stream that.

Recommended watch: A Guardian video explored the “unbearable experience of walking in a heatwave in the future”.

The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) said it was forced to close the East West rail line because of "track washaways of up to 100 metres in some locations" between McLeay and Bookaloo, north-west of Port Augusta.

Terrifying scenes captured by my camera: the sea swallowed the tents and those inside them. Children woke up choking on seawater, left without shelter or safety. This is not a passing tragedy it is a crime before the world. Share the video. Silence is complicity.

The children in the camp asked me to share this photo for them, and they confidently said, “We will reach 5 million views because we are beautiful no matter what!” I laughed and accepted the challenge with all my love.

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good. Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies. So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

'The pictures depict the men walking into the firing range in Athens, their heads held high as they stare, seemingly unafraid, into the camera. Famously, they went to their deaths chanting partisan songs in a final act of resistance.' www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

The government could start by formally responding to the National Anti-Racism Framework delivered by the Australian Human Rights Commission over a year ago. If they are serious about tackling racism, that work cannot sit on a shelf.

It is absolutely shocking that years after threats against First Peoples and Muslim communities were first reported, no one has been held accountable. How many warnings does this country need? White supremacy is not fringe. It is organised, persistent and escalating.

Edward Norton. still hot (I know I skeeted this before but I guess now that he seems to be appearing on screen a bit more, it’s gonna be a more regular theme)

The fact that the ABC is mentioning the verboten NAIRU (non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment) is a headline of its own. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

And a few people, including writers, who were not involved in that shameful incident, reached out to offer me support. I'm also grateful to them. PS Mean girl shit won't stop me from speaking up, standing with others. But I also refuse to be used as a doormat

Recently, a publisher and some writers fucked up in a way that was harmful and insensitive towards me. This was a form of lateral violence. Only two people apologised and expressed accountability. A Palestinian author and an Aboriginal poet. I'm grateful to both of them ❤️

Many disabled and chronically ill people are demonized for not working full-time jobs, when the truth is they can be forced out due to inaccessible policies. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Of course being the nephew of the Attorney General has nothing to do with getting no jail sentence for killing an Aboriginal person and showing absolutely no remorse only further racism. None at all. They said so. 🤬

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨 NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space. The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

sitting on my back steps enjoying the patter of rain, jumble of bird song and petrichor feels like it’s been a while since we’ve had this kind of gentle rain during daytime hours, where I am I miss what we had. I hate that the west has destroyed us this way

In case anybody might think that he has a point: The energy it takes to train a human is food. That carbon is already part of the carbon cycle. The energy that AI runs on is fossil fuel. That carbon has been sequestered for millions of years and we are digging it up and pumping it back into the air.

Disgusting way to talk about your fellow humans. Silicon Valley needs to be quarantined for an indefinite period of time until the nazi mad scientist fever is cured.
