Tim Dunlop: “..stop thinking about Australian democratic politics as something that happens between political parties and instead internalise idea—really internalise it—that politics is meant to be about running the country in the interests of the people.” tdunlop.substack.com/p/memories-o....

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Tomorrow morning I'll be speaking with Sally Sara on ABC's Radio National Breakfast, about QLD’s proposal to reclassify dingoes as domestic dogs. It's not a good idea, and I'll explain why.

The Israeli army carried out 1,584 assaults, while settlers committed 766, the majority of which were concentrated in the governorates of Ramallah (542), Nablus (412), and Hebron (401). www.newarab.com/news/west-ba...

On Thursday, the former chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno Ocampo, told the BBC the U.S. attacks on civilian vessels would be treated as crimes against humanity under international law.

I was at the pub where Watson and Crick celebrated in Cambridge last year, and today when I searched for my photo of the historical marker, I realized someone had slapped a picture of Rosalind Franklin onto it.

The former health minister Neal Blewett described him as an “Antipodean Machivaelli” and “the arch proponent of vested interests”. How times have changed. Now, from the PM down, we have a whole Cabinet that works for vested interests. #auspol

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11... #NSW police approved a rally by these Nazis after they submitted a Form 1 calling themselves “White Australia” - NSW premier should sack the police who approved it. #Racists #Nazis #NotAustralian

Out of nine million people in NSW these sad racists managed to find sixty supporters. Some probably travelled from Victoria. Then they went home to tell their wives how cool they were. Pathetic. #AusPol

He spent Biden’s entire presidency calling him ‘Sleepy Joe’. Still does. But this guy nods off in the middle of the day in meetings almost every day. Fell asleep in court all the time too.

Francesca Albanese from the other place.

Every time I start feeling I’m possibly being too harsh on Albanese he does something like singing the praises of Graham Richardson and I realise he’s worse than any of us suspected. #AusPol

Sad, but that’s the reality in the U.S.

I hope they back together soon 😉

You know who's flights aren't getting canceled? Rich folks with private planes They could stop half of the private planes and not have to eliminate any commercial flights Once again, it's us vs them

Good morning with good news: Global renewable additions in 2025 will be another record high of 793 GW, a rise of 11% compared to 717 GW in 2024. Solar additions will rise ~9% & wind 21%. 2025 will be record high years for both new wind & solar. ember-energy.org/latest-insig... #energysky

I have zero expectations for LNP - and they exceed those expectations every day. I did however have some expectations for Labor - and I now feel completely betrayed. I truly didn’t think they would be this bad. Could and should be so different 😞😞 #auspol

Harry Truman: If it benefits all the people, they call it socialism.

With the government shut down, flights cancelled, and hungry people going without SNAP benefits, Trump leaves his newly gilded palace for another weekend of golf and parties in Palm Beach.

So the one to 25,000 bad apples in the NYPD are "self-deporting?" What a great way to weed out the most prejudiced assholes. Congratulations, New York City!

"Australian politics is now descending into a theatre of science-denying absurdity. A mainstream party is now embedded in denial of clear scientific evidence that renewables are the lowest cost option for Australia through to 2050." #ClimateCrisis #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11...

A stock dip comes after Reuters reported Meta estimated a chunk of revenue would come from running fraudulent ads.

Every child shot at, starved or blown up, was a victim of Israel and its colonial benefactor, the American Empire. In every sense, this is an all-American genocide.

I will reiterate what I have said before many times. I am heartily disappointed and dissatisfied with Albanese’s labor party. He is a weak PM who is in thrall to the lobbies. Whether it be fossil fuel, gambling, defence (war) or anyone else who waves a quid in front his face. Shameful.

Venezuelan oil reserves are estimated at $31.0T. Any questions?

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Quit Amazon and all of their affiliates now! They have already started replacing workers with robots. Their goal is to replace half a million workers with robots. Their reason? Humans are inefficient and cutting into their bottom line. But they need humans to buy their products so stop buying them!

Well over half of the 2 million+ New Yorkers who voted in the mayoral race were younger than 55, with a significant share of them being Millennials and Gen Zers — a reversal of typical age-based turnout patterns fueled by enthusiasm around Zohran Mamdani. www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/07/m...

"In the weeks before Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral dream went up in smoke on election night, a handful of independent spending groups backed by New York City’s oligarchy spent more than $55 million supporting the ex-governor or attacking his ultimately victorious rival, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani."

AI is unsustainable. BloombergNEF forecasts data centres will account for 9% of energy demand in US by 2035. Globally rank as fourth-largest user of electricity behind China, the US & India... doesn’t include vast pools of water needed to cool these data centres. www.theage.com.au/business/com...
