"... Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Having grown up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of my life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and spent most of my career researching and writing on war crimes and the Holocaust..."

I've never admired Harvard before. Just another elite University. But now I do.

Fossil fuel arseholes have known climate change was real for decades. Now that everyone knows its real, they've simppy moved on to the next chapter in their strategy - oppose renewables and let the planet burn www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

What you're seeing are wet microbursts—intense downdrafts from thunderstorms that slam rain into the ground, creating those stunning lobes. Like a reverse explosion from the sky. Captured in Perth, #Australia

Woke up early in airport hotel & realised I'd left tablet on plane last night. Rush to airport & ask Thai Airways for help. This starts an adventure through Bangkok Airport that takes me airside with an escort, & return of tablet! Cleaners found it, handed it in. Staff were awesome. Huge thanks.

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIDAtyB...

Trump Informs Nation They Better Start Liking Those Little Canned Wieners

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

How long before Australia wakes and realises that the world has changed? AUKUS is dead. We need to be independent.

Love this. First episode out now.

This seems to sum up 2025 quite well. Self-help Individualism fuelled by mass idiocy. Mind you, I haven't even opened the front page, so this is all purely wild opinion and unsubstantiated assumptions. Very 2025.

Couldn't agree more. Massively overpaid executive cutting budgets, retrenching staff, dropping subjects with no accountability.

Big thanks to everyone involved for this huge book, and our chapter on Security Cooperation and Fisheries in the Pacific oceanequityresearch.org/fisheries-go...

Very cool sign on a public toilet in Japan

Thank you Tokyo for a wonderful few days of thoughtful discussions and workshops. Have much to think about. And perfect blue skies :)

Trump plays Nero's violin while Musk and friends destroy the joint. How long until the states (i.e California, New York, etc) refuse to cooperate with the big steal? Months or years?

Its hard to see how the USA could do more to destroy its influence and undermine its own interests, but I guess there is always tomorrow. Trump plays a loud violin while Musk rips out the gold. www.smh.com.au/world/asia/a...

Busy Friday night in circular Quay, Sydney.

Weekend at Elon's: FUCK YOURSELF in the face / Please post a bit more positive

Hi. I’m the LNP. You might remember me from my other well thought out and successful economic plans such as: Making The NBN Cheaper Snowy 2.0 A Gas Fired Recovery and AUKUS. Today we’re here to talk to you again about Nuclear Energy…

Negotiating tuna in Suva at the WCPFC - first time back since covid. One of my favourite Pacific cities.

Nerdy moment - Love this map published today in the SMH. Maps out car registrations. Western Sydney likes utes, Inner Sydney likes corollas and golfs.

Could everybody please stop fucking around with the university sector like it's going to solve the housing crisis. If you're serious about fixing housing, then build more houses. The only thing worse than the foreign student cap is the Ministerial directive - that's death for regional universities.

It’s a shame that we don’t have a recent example of a global superpower that rapidly dismantled the apparatus of the state and became controlled by kleptocrats, leading to a Hobbesian State Of Nature where life is nasty brutish and short. That would be worth learning from.

Whoohoo - very happy to be a co-author on one of these chapters. Big thanks to @joannewallis.bsky.social and everyone.
