I was going to say that Albo's address could have been an email, but honestly it could have been a text.

the australian tradition of calling your best mate a cunt and your worst enemy mate has no american equivalent and this explains a lot of the miscommunication

BREAKING: Labor is halving the fuel excise which will reduce the cost of petrol and diesel by 26.3c per litre. The Albanese Government will halve the fuel excise for three months from April and cut the Heavy Vehicle Road User Charge to zero to help with the cost of living.

I want to give a big shout out to researchers at @latrobe.edu.au who are working hard on #longcovid. But they still need a few more people for this study!! Please, please, get in touch using the details on this flyer.

Being huge on Sky Noos isn't really life, many such cases.

“Vice President JD Vance thinks aliens are visiting earth and that they are Demons” is the most “I wish Carl Sagan were alive” moment I’ve had in a while.

Some free communication advice: this argument doesn't work when mortgages are plural.

Dramatically complaining of drama is quite the headline.

Do I have any academics on my feed who would be interested in contributing a chapter to a hypothetical book on AI slop? #academicsky

What I'm discovering during this war is that it's pointless to be a strategy expert if the main belligerent is not using strategy

ABC News: "We understand Pauline Hanson has been speaking at the One Nation event. Let's bring you some of that now." Pauline Hanson: [incomprehensible swamp monster noises] Yeah, sounds about right to be honest... #AusPol #SAParli #SAVotes

🚨 I have a new article in @theconversation.com with Jordan McSwiney on One Nation’s policy positions theconversation.com/what-does-on...

South Australian One Nation candidate Aoi Baxter has a warrant for his arrest in the UK after he failed to show up to court to face a charge of sexually touching a woman without consent.

If the conflict in Iran escalates into a nuclear war, the Democrats who pushed for the release of the Epstein files will have blood on their hands.

This comes as Australia surpasses the milestone of 51 per cent renewable electricity in the National Electricity Market for the first time. Renewables are the cheapest form of energy.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Get ready for the Kyle Sandilands manosphere podcast show.

Not really a surprise, but the V-Dem annual report for 2026 makes it official: US no longer a liberal democracy and heading for dictatorship: www.theguardian.com/... 1/2

I've covered big wars and little wars. Ones that have been well organised (thought some ultimately not very successful) and shit shows. My jaw is still on the floor that a military as powerful and professional as the US is in such utterly chaotic territory. This isn't mission creep ...

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

New Substack post is up! bit.ly/3NAO61k This one covers my new paper on measuring "Corporate BS Receptivity" (CBSR), including what BS actually is, how it spreads in the workplace, and what we can do about it. 🐂 💩

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

“We need more Australian humour, more Australian jokes…”

“The problem with setting objectives before a war begins is that it requires thinking, which can be a real bore. We’ve found it’s best to keep things flexible and just make it up as we go. It keeps the narrative fresh,” a White House spokesperson said. theshovel.com.au/2026/03/11/w...

Matt Canavan has such a lofty vision for the education of Australia's next generation: "I want kids to be at school to learn about how you build a mine, how you do geology, how you drill for oil and gas..." www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11...

This is how all my nightmares begin now

Re. That trump statement about the British coming in only at the end of wars. Apart from being ironic on a potentially record breaking number of levels, this is what alliances mean to the Americans: little if anything. Australians need to understand this.

Ten different reasons except the real one.

Annabel Sutherland currently has a batting average higher than Bradman's. Oh my lordy. #Cricket 🏏

Trump: "A lot of our people were walking around without legs"

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

Especially amazing given that Trump completely “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities just eight months ago.

Canadian PM Mark Carney offers to team up with Australia as ‘strategic cousins’ to push back against dominant superpowers

What we need right now is global leadership that has experience in managing complex interrelated crises and oh my fucking WHAT

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

If measles vaccination rates continue to drop just 1% annually for the next five years, the cost to the U.S. could reach $1.5 billion a year, according to a new report from the Yale School of Public Health.

On days like today it's worth reading or listening again to Australian Opposition Leader Simon Crean's 2003 response to Prime Minister John Howard's decision to plunge Australia into conflict; the false war against weapons of mass destruction. #auspol australianpolitics.com/2003/03/20/w...

“You have got to be fucking kidding,” the Rest of the World has remarked, as the US entered yet another war in the Middle East without any clear motive, strategy, objectives, popular support, succession plan or exit arrangement, leading to suspicions it has no fucking idea what it is doing.

Related point, if you are in misinformation research and have been launching study after study to see what Uncle Fred thinks after seeing misinformation PLEASE listen to what @katestarbird.bsky.social and I have been saying for years: effects on elite and official action is what matters most.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter
