incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Two things wrong with this page about EV's... First, there is an extra word in the article title about standardised range testing for cars (...'fixed that for you'). Second - are we still saying 'self-charging hybrids' about 100% ICE cars? That is as silly as saying 'self-licking ice-cream'.

Big question mark over the veracity of the texts that the SMH claims were sent by Mahmood Fazal. If the SMH can't verify them and they're false (as Fazal said), they have defamed him terribly.

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city. So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

With an ageing population how long before the media’s “30 under 30” lists become “30 with a biological age under 30” list? How long before the ’young entrepreneurs awards’ become ‘young-at-heart awards’? I’m here for it!

I feel sorry for The Block contestants… if they wanted to work on a TV show for months and not getting rich… they’d work at the ABC

A statement from me, on behalf of the Australian Cartoonists Association:

Labor wants to maintain Australia's status as a fossil fuel superpower. That's why it's not interested in a serious overhaul of our environment laws, writes Bernard Keane.

Domestic airport bar. Stacked with jacked blokes. Breakfast beer banter. Friday sickies. Weekend of Potential ahead.

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes. When govts want to do something, they do it. When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse. No one here should fall for it

Victorian Liberal Party leader Brad Battin has condemned today's 'March for Australia' protesters as racists, Nine reports "Any person who is protesting in Melbourne, who is there for the reason of saying that 'we are anti-immigration'...they are just racists", Battin said

This piece is so good that I feel weird and kind of gross for both discovering it four days after the fact and sharing it after midnight. But anyway this is an exceptionally affecting piece of writing and @roycerk2.bsky.social is a very good journalist. But you all already knew that. Didn't you?

Cyclists, don't forget to wear hi viz!

So......... exactly how many blokes has Bob Katter punched in the mouth for asking if he's Lebanese?

Every commercial studio based news show cannot resist the inertia to become breakfast TV ….

The performative "Australian-ness" of Bob Khittar makes sense now. Desperate to appeal to Aussies to feel like he's part of something. But internalised racism prevents him from being whole. Not realising his Lebanese story is v͟e͟r͟y͟ Australian... 🧵

On Trump’s 10% stake in Intel — call it state capitalism à la neo-fascism, or a socialist-adjacent semi-SOE (state-owned enterprise, like stuff in China!), or something else. But I say: c’mon, you’re so close. Do it next for the healthcare system. 😉🙃🤫
