Surely an Australian App, with an Australian founder, becoming the most downloaded app on Apple’s US app store, is a story worth telling? 4th most popular app on Google’s Play Store, 8th most popular free app on Apple’s App Store. That’s impressive company for a 7mth-old Australian start-up. 1/...

Women are supposed to disappear after 30. Sophia Chang does an excellent job explaining why style matters as we age. “You may not like what you see, but you *will* see me, motherfucker.”

Ben Phillips post- ( from X) “This is beautiful. The smiles! Bondi beach hero Ahmed Al-Ahmed with the doctors looking after him at the hospital in Sydney. And… The doctors are *also* Syrian! Tamer Al-Kahil from Homs. Anas Natfaji from Aleppo. *Three* heroes.”

Read the study and think about population level implications, remembering that the vast majority of people have been infected multiple times. What are the possible long-term neurological sequelae? What are the implications for societies now? news.griffith.edu.au/2025/12/16/c...

🚨Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal is being paid more than $1,000 a day and has appointed SIX taxpayer funded staffers. Investigations reveal the role is costing Australians well over $1 million a year... theklaxon.com.au/ezmq

This govt continues to disappoint but now, with Gaza and fossil fuels and this appalling decision, they go far beyond disappointing. Why are we paying for housing for Americans when there's a housing crisis among Australians!?!?

The last story in our deaths in custody series. “If he’d been assessed properly, they would have said, ‘Oh, this guy’s had some attempts in the past, brain injury’... He’d still be alive.” Annie says: “The system certainly failed him, and us as a family.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
