Every time I see rubbish like this I hang on to the Australian public's increasing support for Palestine and decrease in approval for Israel's actions towards Palestine and Palestinians.

A friend of mine was at a Skylab Party at his uni. They staked out (with her full consent), the daughter of a prominent Australian politician as a ‘human sacrifice’ for 15 minutes, then everyone got on with the drinking. Anyway, it worked. Nothing dropped in Queensland.

If Jared Kushner paid €110m to buy an island in Albania that has no fresh water from a guy who did not own it, it would help explain why his negotiations with Iran on behalf of the US have not been entirely successful

More women have been murdered since 2024 by men than all Australians killed by terrorism globally in the past 100 years. Yet there are no Royal Commission’s for women still. No emergency task forces.

Many people aren't aware that there is skiing in Australia. Unfortunately snow depth has been declining and the season has been shortening. Source: buff.ly/1OrMGcT

Intrepid Australian scientists dare to ask: How much farting is normal? 🧪 Researchers created an app (Chart Your Fart*) for participants to report their farts in real time, allowing them to collect data from nearly 6500 people (over 350,000 farts!) So what did they find??

Good read - nothing is free - even free hours from the grid. The new hunt for the lowest fixed charges. #Australia #renewables #solar #energysky

Congratulations Phil, well deserved. 🍾🥂

In a world where there seems to be constant change, it can be hard to keep up. So it can be reassuring to know that some things in society don't change. Tony Abbott is still a racist cunt.

"The fuel price spike triggered by the Iran war has made it clear just how much cheaper it can be to move freight with trucks that run on electricity instead of gasoline or diesel," reports @jeffstjohn.bsky.social: www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele... 🔌💡

#Insiders discussed Tony Abbott's spreading of the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory, a terrorist ideology which has lead to multiple mass shootings around the world. The AFP should arrest and deport Abbott to the UK before he incites another attack. #auspol #terrorism

I went to a small conference in DC way too soon after my husband died unexpectedly, decades early. To get me back on track for the PhD I’d started a week before he was hospitalised. & I thought it would be my last chance to see DC before Trump ban. The 250 loomed. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

For the Microsoft-averse. Open source MS Office developed by European Union. TLDR: V1.0 not ready for enterprise use just yet, however some serious money being pumped into this, and looks very promising. Requires services like Nextcloud, mail servers, and Identity/auth layers to fully replace…1/2

Excellent response to Murdoch media obfuscation. Favourite quote acknowledging that EV’s require initial manufacturing but don’t require a combustion subscription evermore: “Electric vehicles are not magic. They do not float out of a eucalyptus forest after being assembled by morally pure koalas.”

Neil hates Mondays

Less people than @tonymartin.bsky.social s pissweak world.

Baffle no more. My @smh @theage cartoon.

How is it the power grid couldn’t handle electric cars but it will be fine with all these data centers?

I especially love this diagram.

DON'T SHARE THIS, IT'S AI FABRICATED It's fake - the media outlet almost certainly used generative AI to write this and it pulled from a "parody" acct (www.instagram.com/p/DZu8trmR89Y/) The more you share this, the more you help the pro-AI bros say this is all fake www.youtube.com/live/ho_Zmwg...

Today, we saw Uluru at its most beautiful. Grateful to the Aṉangu, for welcoming us on Country.

Jane Fuvking Norman 🤦‍♀️ They hate journalism

Well done, @getup.org.au. Well done indeed. 👏🏻🥂 #auspol #npc

Anyone interested? The owner is my cousin and age and health means he’ll never get it restored so it’s for sale. Needs work obviously but all parts are there.

Pauline Hanson is long on grievance and short on answers. Labor is tackling housing, wages and cost of living. One Nation keeps choosing billionaires over battlers. https://www.andrewleigh.com/transcript_abc_afternoon_briefing_15_june_2026 #auspol

The far-right is rising, but so are the people who will stop it. I just pledged to never vote One Nation. Will you do the same? getup.to/w7kk83S9CkGpHw

French activists who took part in a Gaza-bound foreign aid flotilla accuse Israeli forces of abuse and torture.

Uber went from "we blew our AI budget" to "we need usage caps" in about six weeks. If that's happening at a company that size, what does Anthropic's S1 risk section look like? 🤔 We explore that and more in the latest episode of Equity: spr.ly/6006B8tXlY

This is Baby. She is celebrating her first ever International Corgi Day today. Personally thinks she should be celebrated every day, but this is a good start. 14/10 (IG: cooperandbaby_corgi)

Wonderful.

These laws were already a bad joke that hinted at the Queensland government’s incompetence and lack of understanding. The amendments confirmed this.

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Across the vast gulfs of time and geography, the human imagination keeps returning to the same stories. That convergence isn’t proof that all cultures are the same. It’s proof we are one species, dreaming the world into meaning. blakandblack.com/2026/06/03/t...

So if I got it right Charlie f..ing Pickering is hosting a Nazi who committed domestic violence (Avi Yemini), and the two of them are criticising a survivor of sexual abuse - great Charlie, well done, you must be proud
