Stasera, carbonara tradizionale.

I've only limited empathy for graziers. The headline photo does not reflect the true story: millions of hectares cleared, turned into grasslands for the industry. Floodplains are meant to flood and native vegetation is meant to slow waters down. This is the result of poor land management.

It is amazing what you can learn by listening to those who spend live on country. Ecology is 99.9% observation and awareness. Great article and a credit to all those involved. #NorthernQuoll #Martu #Wiminyji connectsci.au/wr/article/5...

Nazism/fascism is not about skin colour or cultural background. It is a broad church that opens its arms and invites the most evil and insidiously vile examples of humanity.

For my friends in #Perth, has there been an update? The report mentions an arrest, but not further details. I hope everyone is OK. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Without a chin we would never have "The Thinker".

What a pig-ignorant moronic response from the government - it just highlights what garbage can get voted into office.

It doesn’t take a lot of words to explain why the Coalition is imploding. Just one. Queensland. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Godsmackingly huge area of Fitzgerald River NP has been burnt

We all knew he is a delusional insane conspiracy theorist living in an anoxic rabbit hole. It is good to see he is not afraid of letting everyone else know.

1/ The #EPA is not as independent as they would like you to think. The board is made up of people too closely aligned with the resource industries or beholden to the industry for funding (especially true of academia). www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

The brevity of #socialmedia cannot ever adequately espouse the nuance of #ideas or #concepts. People, made simpletons by #socialmedia or just intellectually lazy, are the present and future core of society. That's why #AI is on the rise - no thought required. "Stupid is as Stupid does."

"As a wildlife ecologist and conservation expert, these fires bring an unwelcome but familiar mixture of deep sadness and intense frustration. As the climate gets hotter, such events will only become more likely and more severe." My article about Victoria's fires theconversation.com/in-the-most-...

And, as mentioned in my article, high rainfall after fire can be diabolical for freshwater and marine ecosystems. And sadly, right on cue... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... #ClimateChaos

Fire events like these, and the harm they cause to people, communities, and nature, will only become more likely and more diabolical as long as our governments keep supporting the fossil fuel industry. What will be your legacy, @albomp.bsky.social? Source 👉 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Malinauskus again trying to make it all about Dr. Abdel-Fattah to deflect from the reason behind the failure of AWW: i.e, they are forums for the exchange of ideas, not the selective appeasement of an extremist minority - that is never ever going to work out well www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Happy Days.

She was painted into the corner by the #antisemitic Zionist #rightwing #Ultraconservatives of the Jillian Segals of this world. #Zionists use the label "antisemitism" to attack those Jews they hate because they are both Jews but not Zionists and bring a mirror to their Zionist extremist ideology.

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has pulled out of the Adelaide Writers' Week, joining a mass boycott of speakers and board resignations that threatens to cripple the event altogether. Daanyal Saeed reports.

The utter stupidity of this proposal is next level.

This headline is blatant misinformation. One guy quit because of Adler’s “anti-Zionist” program and zero people noticed or cared. The Board then acted against Adler and Randa, the whole festival collapsed and 4 board members quit rather than fix the mess they made. This upheaval is solely theirs.

This is just utterly insane. It is demented. It is the lowest common denominator. It is typical of anthropocentric "solutions". It attempts to resolve one problem by creating another, when all it needs is the swift and concerted move away from #fossilfuels.

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

I have seen lots of similar extremely upsetting posts lately. How is it possible to deny cancer treatment? Isn't that homicide by this corporation? The American system of health insurance by profit-making companies is entirely broken

It's time progressives leave the conservatives behind. No ALP, LNP, PHONE, etc. They're the source of hatred & division. They're exclusive & intolerant. They deal in intellectually bereft ideologies. They're the face of #antisemitism, #islamophobia, #racism, #fascism, #nazism, #zionism, #islamists.

I don't know anyone who dislikes or hates Jewish people, I do know people who dislike Zionists and the Israeli government, me being one of them. They like to conflate the issues, I really think most people have worked it out.

I have been sent a copy of Adelaide Festival's response to the letter raising concerns about Thomas Friedman's participating in Adelaide Writers Week. The response says that Friedman could not participate due to "last minute scheduling issues".

Again, the advantage of not eating lunch because you're too busy cooking. Zucchini and mint pasta.

Forgot to mention afternoon snacks. Recipe from Instagram "Boyja's Buns"???? One cup self-raising flour, one cup grated cheese (we used pizza mix), 3/4 cup of milk. Mix with wooden spoon. Place spoonfuls on baking paper...in the air fryer. Did one batch 180C, one batch 200C...prefer 200C...10 mins.

I begin work next week and was thinking of lunches. I'm not a fan of junk food, so I thought I would make myself some Caponata. It's difficult dish to explain to non-Italians, but believe me it is delicious and so very colourful. I would recommend looking up 1 of the million variations of this dish.

There has been nearly 100 withdrawals including sponsors. It is a good reaction. For those that remain, I hope they are given the chance to put their reasoning/logic forwards and not censured. After all, it is the spirit of the Writer's Festival across the country (or should be).

I hope AUS PM Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns realise that MANY Australians DO NOT want "social cohesion" with neo-nazis and Zionist bigots. That sort of "social cohesion" sounds a lot like condoning anti-Palestinian racism and complicity in genocide. #auspol #nswpol #FreePalestine

You know, another aspect on the issue of social cohesion is the response by so many authors, participants and financial supporters from so many backgrounds to withdraw from the festival as a result of this petty baseless censorship by a collection of sanctimonious book burners.

name a better woman, you simply cannot 🖤

This is my president

A #boycott of the #FIFA #WorldCup is the go.

I'm not staunchly for or against a Royal Commission into anti-semitism. But what I DO strongly believe is that many of the loudest agitators for it (looking at you yet again MPs & media) are clearly doing so primarily for political mileage and/or easy 'content'. Pretty sickening.

I wrote a follow-up to my essay on the Bondi shooting. sakr.substack.com/p/arming-the...

Well that is pretty shitty. Thank goodness it has nothing to do with climate change and warming oceans. 🤦 Nothing at all. 🤦🤦 www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/Articles/A_E...

One time PR did good. For the international audience, Australian Neo Nazis (NSN) have been wearing Helly Hanson jackets because of the initials. So local HH office signed on as a major sponsor of the Pride Regatta in Sydney & Aussies are getting around this meme: #NSNTasteTheRainbow 🤣 #auspol
