ARC says they’ll announce DECRA and LIEF outcomes tomorrow (Tuesday 25th Nov). In recent times these announcements have been around 11am Canberra time. With 2 schemes on the same day, I assume they’ll announce one of them later in the day (probably DECRA first).

Hind Khoudary reports that Israel is using explosive robots to demolish entire residential areas in Gaza city.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

A fantastic first week of research collaboration at the "Combinatorics of McKay and Wormald" research program. www.matrix-inst.org.au/events/combi... It's a real privilege to have both Brendan McKay and Nick Wormald present—two pioneers whose foundational work continues to shape the field.

There is a straight line from when people started decrying diversity statements as "political tests" to now replacing them with actual political tests.

So it’s a problem for conservative media when our missile parts are used by Russia but not by Israel???? You cannot make this shit up. It is so incredibly racist.

. @jessielilley.bsky.social Got in before me! I'm launching a new independent media outlet with Antoun Issa, formerly of the Guardian and Al-Monitor. If you want journalism that's not afraid of the Zionist lobby, consider becoming a founding subscriber: www.deepcutnews.com

Earlier today, I was leaked a copy of the Executive Secretariat Style Guide for the US State Department. The new guide included a new section requiring that all trans State employees must be misgendered in all official communications. www.patreon.com/posts/new-st...

Crazy that this is the first piece that decided to actually examine if Gaza “cost the Greens votes”. If the party ever wants to get outside the white enclaves of Sydney and Melbourne this kind of campaigning is what they need to do, and it pays off? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Y'all ICE just arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for "trespassing" at one of their black site detention centers. www.insidernj.com/baraka-arres...

This is pretty much all we get from the media, a constant message of how extreme we are for wanting Australia to stop breaching international law and actually sanction Israel which is carrying out daily massacres and starving kids to death. None of our many other policies are mentioned.

It’s a very dark reflection on the state of Australian politics that Labor (including Albanese) seem more satisfied with defeating Bandt than Dutton. Progressive voters are tricking themselves into thinking this election was a great result, but Australia’s centre of gravity keeps going right.

A thing media outlets could do to improve their credibility is to cease the practice by which the body of the article is attributed to a real person, but the headline, social media posts and push notifications linking to the article and placement of the article are all totally anonymously decided.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

BREAKING: Israeli ministers agree on plan to capture all of Gaza and remain there for an unspecified amount of time, two officials say.

As every election, worth pointing out that the Greens win 1-2 reps seats despite winning 12% of national vote, while the Nats win 10+ seats on just 4% of natl vote

“Two people have been arrested in connection with an alleged plot to detonate explosives at a free Lady Gaga concert in Rio de Janeiro, in what authorities believe was an attempt to target Brazil’s LGBTQ community. More than 2 million people were in attendance.”

Wow—15 international students at the University of Central Florida have had their visas revoked as a result of the school's signed partnership with ICE. One was detained. Literally handed over to immigration cops by their own university. Despicable.

As Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton repeatedly argued in court against providing life-saving medical care to lawful refugees and asylum seekers in Australia's care. Here's a list of just some of the lives he tried to subject to negligent care in 2018 alone. A significant trigger warning here.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

ICE kidnapped another student. This time a grad student at Tufts, Rumeysa Ozturk. Turkish national, in the United States on a student visa. Her lawyer does not know where she is being held. Rumeysa wrote op-eds criticizing the university's response to student demands on Gaza.

Her name is Rumeysa Ozturk, she's a student from Turkey, and even her lawyer doesn't know where she is right now.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY
