“Let’s see the Kennedy Curse try to take down a man with 92 billion lumens of photonic goodness surging into his taint,” the pantsless HHS secretary said as he triumphantly spread his legs from his perch on the tower’s boiler in conditions so hot a passing barn swallow was seen bursting into flames.

Thou shalt not whitewash a Senator’s lifelong racism and warmongering. You will all be remembered accordingly for your words and deeds.

I mean, sure, if you’re a fan of it, but there’s a time and a place.

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: Open Letter to Ed Smelt. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/op...

Here is a horror story. The most destructive bauxite miner taking over an only slightly less destructive bauxite miner. Bye-bye Northern Jarrah forest ecosystems. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

I have gotten to the point of I don't care. The mine should close sooner. If the workers cannot find alternative skill sets/employment in the next 2 years then tough. All the trades should be able to move on and get a job. Those who moved to the area for work, they will just have to move again.

Baffle no more. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Looking for some help. I remember seeing a #field #notebook product which was set up for primarily #fauna field #observations. Each page required basic #data (date, time, location, weather?) but was ruled ready for notes. Can anyone point me in the right direction. PS #Australia.

If confirmed, this is very sad news. We have a lot of critically threatened bird and mammal species in WA and this could decimate them. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Let's hope they did a #pre-impact study for #comparative purposes. Let's hope they did a #road-kill study for #comparative purposes. Let's hope it is not all based on #subsampling of the #data set as that could be highly #misleading. Let's hope... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Where have we seen this before? My @smh cartoon.

Who is not surprised One Nation is a cesspit for nazis, fascists, racists, rapist, DV abusers, etc in this country? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

That indigenous bushcraft is taught to ADF personnel for survival training is well documented. But Pauline is the pet of the MAGA Hag Gina, who is the daughter of a monster who thought poisoning indigenous people was a solution. They all swim in the same sewer. thenightly.com.au/politics/pau...

I've been using this method of cooking as a replacement for aluminium foil. Wet scrunched up baking paper. It works well with everything I've attempted so far, including baked sweet potato. Now to fund a baking paper that is recycled and recyclable.

“The shower is completely broken, the windows hardly even open … and we’re still paying almost a million dollars … it’s wild,” For what looks like a boring thin-walled 1980s apartment in Ashfield 😳 Anyone who complains that the housing market has stalled because of tax changes can just f**k off!

We can't let Roger Cook, Murray Watt, and their fossil fuel industry corporate sponsors destroy the Kimberley www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh9I... - @thejuicemedia.com

A couple of pallet fauna refuges. The top has slices of tree trunk offering partial protection and the bottom uses hessian sacks aa the protection prior to placing wood mulch and soil over the pallet. Eventually, planting will be carried out around and on these mounds.

More than 400 scientists, young people, Indigenous leaders, and conservation experts have written collectively to @albomp.bsky.social and @jimchalmers.bsky.social, pleading for adequate $ to protect and restore nature biodiversitycouncil.org.au/news/scienti... - @biodivcouncil.bsky.social

Invasive species management requires constant attention. If the NSW government wants to maintain 3000 feral horses in Kosci (a holdover from repealed legislation), that means removing over 1000 animals every two years indefinitely. theconversation.com/feral-horse-...

Being in the historic position is one thing, but a beige Democratic party is unlikely to take full advantage of their advantage. Sound familiar? We have a beige party led by a very innocuous ineffective beige man in government who promised everything, but is scared of doing anything.

I was just informed the errant #Egerniakingii record from Qld was likely to be an escape. It only goes to feed my disrespect and disdain for those who keep birds, reptiles, whatever, as some sort of toy they can #crossbreed for different shapes and colours. 1/3

For the #herpetologist twitchers. I came across a record for #Egerniakingii in #Qld on #ALA from #iNaturalist. Yes...Qld. a few thousand km out of its range. There is a photo which looks like a huge juvenile from the patterning. Can anyone confirm it? Theres also a record from Sydney.(??)

Yep, it is very much a wadjela driven week. It should be every day of every year of every century.

I think we call this degenerativeAI.

This is a good story and reminder that spending 5min or a lifetime in the bush does not make you a "bushy" (christ, I hate people who claim to be/know everything about being a bushys). Planning is the greatest skill to learn, and that includes communicating your plans www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

I always hold on to what was once conveyed to me when analysing data - "What is #statistically #significant may not be a reflection of the #reality".

We have seen the collapse of groundwater systems in the Pilbara following intense lobbying from the pastoral and mining sectors for greater levels of abstraction. The level of subterfuge driven by self_interest has decimated the Pilbara as a bioregion. 1/6 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The stunning incompetence of the sycophantic political cadre is here for all to see. The man should never have been charged. At least now he will have reason to put Minns, dressed accordingly, in his posters.

This week I'm surveying for toxic cane toads around and behind the invasion front line. Here's some nightmare fuel for you- with up to 8 small toads in every cow hoofprint. #wildoz #tcz

Interestingly I have noticed quite a few "female" bots spouting extremist and racist drivel in support of One Nation and Taylor use the #MeToo in their posts. I wonder if they are trying hard to encourage more women to become handmaidens to their men folk?

My good friend and colleague @yungenchee.bsky.social and I penned an Op Ed for @australia.theguardian.com about @australianlabor.bsky.social's failure to deliver on their promise to voters of 'ending environmental neglect' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Apparently, it's everyone elses fault they could not retain a conservative seat and lost it to another conservative group. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Larry Marshall, under the previous govt, oversaw the expansion of areas within CSIRO that dealt with the fossil fuel and resource industry sectors. He also dismantled the climate change and environment research areas. So where is this cash going? To the perpetrators of the problems we face?

Interesting that Larry Marshall is now interim Chancellor - the person that gutted CSIRO and turned it into a shadow of its former self. The ANU executive is more of a kakistocracy than a functional unit.

I can only laugh at such Colossal announcements. It is nothing more than fantasy. All you get is a poor reproduction of a breed of sp displaying some characters but unviable and incapable of filling the ecological gap left by the original sp. This is nothing but Shonky Alchemy.

Very important article and read academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Canavan, who is only Australian because post-WW2 immigration, says there’s ‘too much talk of diversity’ in address to Canberra anti-immigration rally. He’s dumber than I thought. #auspol

Australia's PM, @albomp.bsky.social, would rather help his mates (donors) in the gas industry continue to reap obscene profits from our resources while many Australians languish with a cost-of-living crisis. Remember this when you next vote, that includes you, rusties.

Let us pray. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Just a misogynistic political enterprise? They could add racism and nationalist religious fundamentalism to the mix and still have room for other bigotries and extremist ideologies.

Fixed it. #DonaldTrump

I also live in a regional town where homelessness is rife and there is a shirt-load of holiday homes that spend most of the year empty (not to mention too many exorbitantly priced short-term stays, land-banking, property-banking, minimal land releases and a 2 year wait for construction).

WTF? 'Girly Jobs'? Who is that idiot economist?

Today marks 78 years since the massacre of Deir Yassin, an atrocity that came to define the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 to establish the state of Israel on stolen Palestinian land.
