The Climate Risk Assessment report predicts 1.5 million Australians will be affected by sea level rise within 25 years. Chief Economist Greg Jericho unpacks how the report predicts climate change will affect the economy: https://australiainstitute.org.au/news/category/podcasts/dollars-sense/

It must take an extraordinary feat of mental gymnastics for those who think of themselves as good people, let alone governments and businesses, to maintain a presence there. By buying into the product, they've tacitly bought into all of this.

You'd think the British government (and everyone else still using X for 'reach') would not want to be known to be frequenting a platform that carries and actually generates child porn. And yet they keep posting there.

There is a worrying amount of motherless children in Christmas movies. Is Hallmark going around bumping mothers off? Is David Walliams working now for Hallmark?

A quick google informs me that after this surge, Australia provides about 4% of our beef imports, and our beef imports are about 25% of our consumption. So this headline is basically saying “anger as 0.6% becomes 1% of total” and I’m not sure that’s particularly justifiable

Quick PSA for anyone not Australian talking about the Bondi massacre. It's pronounced Bon-dye,not Bon-dee. The guys that did this are scum of the earth cocksuckers - I think we all pronounce that the same way. ☮️

@riotgrlerin.bsky.social bringing joy to the world as usual! 🙌

This entire weekend

O, horrible, O, horrible, most horrible!

In a world where fewer and fewer people concern themselves with the plight of others, the loss of Rob Reiner, who cared deeply about humanitarian causes, feels that much more devastating. RIP: 1947-1925. [Selfie: July 2022, NYC]

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔 A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice. Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

A targeted attack on Jewish Australians at Bondi Beach on the first night of Chanukah kills at least 12 people. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-1...

2 shooters have attacked a Chanukah event near Bondi Beach in Sydney. News Corp reports 1 dead, 1 receiving medical attention in custody. Multiple casualties have been reported; their identities and status seem to be unknown at the moment. www.news.com.au/national/nsw...

Big fan of the accidental poetry of Prime's subtitles mistakes. This line was actually 'This is Silas; he's a new hire', but the subtitles wrote a much better, more mysterious version.

Blimey the supremely talented Stanley Baxter and Joanna Trollope in one day. The reaper works overtime at this time of year.

Have you taken a moment to think about Rowlf today?

Mel Brooks is a genius and this pairing is impeccable.

'Your Party' is going to go nowhere - why are they even bothering. He may be left wing and a one time cultural touchstone, but it's still just another traditional political party centred around an old white man.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

I’d like to share with you an excerpt from the book "Hemingway Knows Nothing" by Ukrainian Defender, poet, writer Artur Dron.

"However terrible the war and its consequent famine in Sudan is today, it can still get much worse" From Alex de Waal, who knows Sudan better than anyone www.foreignaffairs.com/guest-pass/r...

The strength and determination! Inspirational.

What is this dude on?

Iconic woman.

We’ve been warned about a possible missile attack tonight. I checked that everything is charged and have some food ready for breakfast. No. I’m not scared. You can’t stay scared for 1,344 days.

There is probably plenty going on inside Bill Gates' head, but I reckon one of the most parsimonious explanations of why he's sagely pronouncing that climate groups need to stop worrying about short-term emissions targets can be found in the sustainability reports of the company he founded.

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

Few things are as gross as someone throwing up all over the floor and nearby passengers in a packed tube. Although possibly rivalled by the girl who turned her head and threw up on the next seat - she managed to clear half the carriage. 🤢

NEW: Britain’s top libel firm, Carter-Ruck, acted for OneCoin - a $4bn crypto-fraud. The firm threatened whistleblowers, journalists, regulators, and even the police. Carter-Ruck's work helped the fraud continue as long as it did. Was that a crime?

In 2011, Petronas was warned its South Sudan oil wells may be causing congenital disease. Over a decade later, babies are still being born with serious deformities. Read more: https://bloom.bg/4quhd5g 📷: Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Elon Musk (the X-owner and advocate of pre-emptive political violence) is funding the legal fees of his ally Tommy Robinson (the activist who last month platformed Musk's call for civil war in Britain) www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Someone made a lot of money through insider trading. On the international betting site Polymarket, the eventual winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Maria Corina Machado went from rank outsider to 70% favourite in the early hours of Friday before the award was announced.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

We cannot accept this. news.sky.com/story/abject...

The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

Gary Neville, "Brexit has had a devastating impact on this country" "The messaging is getting dangerous" "All these idiots out there spreading hate speech in any form, abuse in any form, we must stop promoting them" "And get back to a country of love, peace and harmony" "And become a team again"

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny": Listen for dangerous words.

People really log the fuck onto the internet and post things when they could just buy a diary with a lock for $9.99 plus tax

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

Further reminder - some of those currently trying to weaponise yesterday’s tragedy to fuel Islamophobia have a documented history of antisemitism. As @zackpolanski.bsky.social says ‘Islamophobia and antisemitism are two sides of the same coin’.

If you believe the attack today in Manchester is somehow rationalized by the genocide in Gaza... If you believe the genocide in Gaza is somehow rationalized by the massacres of October 7... I've got news for you: you are two sides of the same ugly coin.
