Let's seriously talk about whooping cough, because sanitised admin speak doesn't cut it. A baby or toddler. YOUR baby or toddler in hospital on oxygen, fighting for every breath. The heart wrenching whooping is the noise of her trying to breathe in. /2

A duopoly focus -ignoring a dominance of women teal independents and The Greens

NASA announced a week ago that fatty acids found in Martian soil appear to have been formed by something other than known natural processes. Investigation is still underway, but yes, this could mean evidence of past life on Mars. science.nasa.gov/blogs/scienc...

Senator Malcolm Roberts is not Atlas Network himself but he is part of the decades-long climate disinformation project. #Auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

This 👇🏽 Must read 👇🏽 Although Australian focused the message is global - the Epstein class is out to collapse/ break public things to make a profit and legacy media are clueless to the fact.

I hope that the ACCC wins because I’m sick of all these fake specials on stuff like chocolate and coffee, where the ‘special price’ is the non-rip off price www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Australia now has access to a new marine heatwave outlook tool that provides up to four months’ advance indication of the likelihood of ocean temperature extremes. Developed by @csiro.bsky.social and BoM, the tool is designed to support awareness and preparedness for marine heatwaves.

French agrivoltaics trials show crops under solar panels had up to 18% higher yields, far fewer heat-stress days, cooler soils, and better animal welfare — while generating clean power. This is a win-win governments should scale now.

A hard no. If you look at Ukraine and Europe, under persistent threat of a dirty bomb using Zaporizhzhia power plant , you realise that no amount of policy or international law protects. So even though nuclear power can produce a lot of energy, some humans can not be trusted to do the right thing.

#DailyGlimmer 👇🏽This thread and full YouTube vid too I’m not crying honest 🥹

on the NSW SC decision to not overturn Major Event declaration by NSW Tourism Minister. As Wendy Bacon shows, the decision turns on judicial deference to police (assumed officers act reasonably) and judicial interpretation of a political event as “cultural”. michaelwest.com.au/when-politic...

"The Southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to #climate change, new research shows."

Next time you hear someone ask how will the govt pay for <insert new spending on services> just remember right now the richest 10% get $27.5bn in tax breaks on just super, and negative gearing and the capital gains discount on housing www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Yes, our conservative party used to include conservationists who fought to establish national parks and nature reserves. Their ministers used to resign over matters of principle, such being against entry of our troops into the American war in Vietnam... all very hard to imagine now.

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

Just wrong- they want both

Oh so much to unpack here. I believe Tamar, that you are identifying a correlation not a causation. Research has shown that many traits required by scientists, open minded, curiosity, lack of fear of the unknown, collectivism ( i.e collaboration) also align with ‘old left leaning’ politics /1

Large electric powered container ships are already a reality. When posting about this 2 years ago the so-called “experts” said it is impossible. Can people stop listening to oil and gas “experts” soon?

There are so many creative brains in Australia. To under- utilise them is a crime against the nation. We can do better, but what is missing is a coherent vision of who we are.

Billions lost in revenue from the gas cartel, billions sent to two G7 nations to boost their submarine industrial capability, while we sabotage our future by starving CSIRO of funds. A 'dumb present' denying our children a 'smart future'. #auspol

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

AEC disclosures show more than $138 million in political funding in 2024–25 had no declared source under the current rules. When dark money & big donors shape our politics, public trust suffers. Australians deserve govts that are not fundraising from industries that profit when policy is weakened.

If Angus was the answer, what was the question?

🤞So there was a 10% drop last election from a safe seat to a comfortable lead, but an equal scale drop would flip to your independent. Note ON only on 6.6% Sounds like a reason to get out door knocking 😁

Fortunately, there’s a cracking independent candidate that we supported in the last election and stand ready to do so for this byelection. The winds of change are getting gusty! michellemilthorpe.com.au

Hurricanes are getting stronger: This study found from 1992-2021, Cat 1+ hurricanes globally intensified by 1.74 m/s (3.9 mph) over the 30-year period, and that a cold bias in IPCC climate models "probably contributes to an underestimate in projections of major hurricane frequency.”

GENOCIDAL STATES ARE NOT MATES #HerzogNotWelcome

Up to 2 years in prison for saying “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” - that’s the legislation currently before Queensland Parliament under the Crisafulli government. They’re going to have to build more prisons before we choose to be silent about genocide.

📢 Experts have pointed to new laws and increased police militarisation as factors leading to clashes in Sydney on Monday night.

Just thinking🤔 Wouldn’t it be a great tribute to Jon Farnham to have Two Strong Hearts chart through a Like a Version cover?

Would like to see a similar scheme in Australia. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

‘A cultural icon’: axed Australian literary journal Meanjin finds new life in Queensland

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Wtf? 😳

#DailyGlimmer - super hard to capture but nestled deep in our garden is a pademelon mum and a very large, way past pouch bub, cuddled up together 🥹. Our garden mob are very successful, maybe due to this extended maternal care. I’ve seen it multiple times now, possibly passed on thru generations ?

Putting Mandelson to one side, so much of what Jonathan Pie says about UK Labour applies equally to @australianlabor.bsky.social. It's enough to make one weep if only you weren't so angry. #auspol #ukpoli

maybe if the tributes keep flowing, they can help stave off comprehending the full magnitude of loss... "Kudelka’s contribution to Australian cartooning is larger than the cartoons he leaves behind. It lives in his willingness to think and reflect publicly about the profession..."

Gotta read to the end 👇🏽
