We have two mass gun killers in Australia on the run right now and neither killed due to antisemitic reasons. And neither are immigrants.

It’s January 3rd. Why hasn’t the Sydney test started? #ashes

The Boxing Day test must be given to Adelaide. It’s the only thing that makes sense. Melbourne have lost the right. www.espncricinfo.com/story/ashes-...

The story of inequality is unmissably generational: young Australians today face a tougher reality than their parents and grandparents.

How Wealth Inequality Affects You

Yesterday, when Richard Boyle received ‘no conviction’, the judiciary gave whistleblowers a little bit of hope. Today the Labor Party and the Coalition hit back to ensure potential whistleblowers understand they won’t be supported if they tell the truth. #shameful #auspol

Jon asks why the GOP's "one is too many" logic applies only to immigrants and not mass shootings

They’re building rainbow cycle tunnels in Norway. With no cars. Nice video by Critical Mass Bergen.

. @albomp.bsky.social’s Govt says shop around for cheaper power. What a joke! Energy costs are through the roof because the ALP/LNP duopoly won’t rein in the gas cartel that owns them. If you’ve had enough, ditch the duopoly and shop around for independents. #auspol

!content warning! I really hope the seven high court justices who unanimously quashed Pell’s conviction in a properly constituted criminal court - the guilty verdict was upheld on appeal by the Vic Supreme Court - are having a good long think today.

Did you see this news!? Heather Ruddock, the wife of former attorney-general Philip Ruddock, has quit the Liberal Party. She said an unnamed federal Coalition MP told her that tertiary-educated women were “not the demographic we’re going for” So she's voting independent🔥

Australia is increasingly criminalising peaceful protests while allowing corporate lobbying to thrive. As @jack-thrower.bsky.social writes - Protesting fines are expensive; lobbying is cheap. #OffTheCharts australiainstitute.org.au/post/compare...

What a coincidence! I built my very own Large Hadron Collider after a week in Geneva! Thanks Ben English!

Please help pushback against Dutton and News Corp’s nuclear disinformation by sharing these very simple FACTS which show nuclear power is more expensive, slower and will contribute a tiny share of power generation as compared to renewables. The nuclear campaign is designed to undermine renewables👇🏻

Should I tell Twitter I’m here? I don’t want to inadvertently cause an influx of all the worst accounts on the internet.

I may be in the minority but I thought Sam Harris’ review of the US election was pretty good. open.spotify.com/episode/0S93...
