It was a rare audience for the Taliban minister representing an all-male government that over four years has slowly suffocated the freedoms and dreams of Afghan women and girls. https://cnn.it/4h9enhH

If you ever end up recording a final message, ensure you dedicate a good chunk of it to roasting your nemeses, like Jane Goodall did futurism.com/future-socie...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

So this happened. 🥰

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

Hundreds of people are caring for cuttings from Tasmania's unique alpine plants in their backyards, as part of a biobanking project. The idea is to create an urban climate refuge, which can be used to restock wild populations of the plants in the wake of a bushfire. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

It’s always in the details.

And I worked with her in the late 80s - Ali at MTV, me at CBS/Sony. Vale, wonderful Ali Drower - Queen of 80s big hair (which we were cackling about not so long ago). 😞

Re: politicians and comedy. Well remember Andrew Peacock (then Opp Leader) being mercilessly pilloried on the "Gillies Report" - way back on the ABC in the mid- 80s Still have a copy of our "almanac" signed by him: "Wendy, keep up the good work! A. Peacock" That's the way we do it!
