This is supercool, a real-world validation of the Belyayev Russian Fox experiments. But also the raccoons at my house seem to be getting more and more thuggish, so I dunno. www.scientificamerican.com/article/racc...

hard to believe but i can imagine a day i'll remember when mosquitos used to exist, the way i think of bugs on car windows i don't think young people today can conceive of how many bugs you used to get on your car during a drive in the country

i searched mosquito season dates because i'm confused i haven't seen one in months. the lack of shelter in hyde park ponds might mean the wrigglers are being eaten more but i don't know about the rest of perth

The weather is definitely heating up in Perth ☀️ Which means wildlife starting to look for water. Had to rescue this lovely Bobtail lizard from the backyard pool today. He’s currently at a wildlife rescue centre for a checkup and will hopefully be back home soon🤞 #ausreptiles #wildoz #reptiles

#ClimateActionNow Solar panels are often now elevated so that sheep can graze underneath them. Dew runs off them, making the paddocks more drought resistant. The sheep get shade underneath them. Productivity of both wool and meat is increased, farmers get static income from the lease. Win win!!😍

are we abundant yet?

Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist social media personality, seems to be everywhere in the press these days. A lot of coverage suggests his audience is growing, but our read of the data is giving us some serious doubts whether that’s really the case. openmeasures.io/nick-fuentes...

Every dollar that the Feds refuse to spend on their primary health, aged care and NDIS responsibilities leads to somewhere between $1.40 and $7.50 of expenditure required in the hospital system because of that $1.00 decision, depending upon the hospital. This is not new. We already know this.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

There's an 11year old girl sitting in adult cells in Perth lockup because she got caught shoplifting a drink and a pastry from Coles.worth less than $10

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

Yes, stripping already poor people of their last remaining assets is a very helpful********** thing to do. Very humanitarian.

This is a very bad sign. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Australia is full of dodgy leaners making money off the backs of other people; whether it’s property or crypto or drop shipping or the disadvantaged. Prove me wrong. Australia has become an ugly place. #auspol

White House aggressively posting “trump is straight” content amid the blow job e-mail

Preparing the justification. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will designate Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation. “Headed by the illegitimate Nicolás Maduro, the group has corrupted the institutions of government in Venezuela and is responsible for terrorist violence…”

British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo #ShareGoodNewsToo

An abundance of green in the rain-drenched Wye Valley today.

An impish - if not to say devilish - door knocker I spotted in Mdina, Malta. It was pretty big, about 8" long if I remember correctly, and obviously of some age considering the verdigris on the bronze. #AdoorableThursday #devil #goat #pagan #magick #Malta

Lobster fishery off Bruny Island in TAS closed on eve of the opening of fishing season due to antibiotic use by the salmon farms. No indication of how long for. Must be a devastating blow for fishermen approaching Xmas.

Temptation of St Anthony

In Scottish folklore, if a house goblin such as a brownie is treated with disrespect, it can transform into a "bogle." This nasty goblin will devote itself to vandalizing the house and tormenting its inhabitants with the same dedication that the brownie kept things neat and tidy. #FolkloreSunday

I honestly can’t process how they see this as something new. It’s his whole deal! Always has been!

Climate reporting deluged by high carbon adverts. “I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies. And I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising.” theecologist.org/2025/nov/08/...

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
