Incredible footage from a United Airlines flight of the Artemis II launch.

it's really hard to see all of the space cheerleading right now when this admin sees the moon missions as a stepping stone for space colonization while at the same time it's doing it's best to gut everything that makes the Earth habitable

'A PHONy candidate in the South Australian election was accused of domestic abuse, bullying & harassment, while another made racist, antisemitic & homophobic social media posts, raising fresh questions about the party's vetting processes as it surges in popularity.' www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Foreign-run Facebook pages are posing as Australian news publications to spread political disinformation and get clicks to ad-laden websites. https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/vietnam-disinformation-pages-masquerade-as-australian-news-sites/

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

A reminder that fossil fuel companies are long-term strategic thinkers (not in a good way) and realise better than even some in the climate space that the lull in public climate focus is temporary, so it's good to keep those greenwashing muscles trained up. Now, they just add "data centres" in there

Your April Fools' Day Reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

people simply love it when you storm out of the gates to support an illegal war, then lecture them about personal responsibility after it makes their lives worse

Okay, well lets hear them out on this

If the govt had brought in a 25% tax on gas exports when it came to power in 2022 it would have raised $68bn by now and the missed revenue is growing every second. Check out our gas tracker gas.australiainstitute.org.au

Have I missed this year’s Easter-inspired culture war? Are Woolies selling eggs or not?

The stupidest war in history, being waged by the stupidest president in history.

“15-minute cities are open-air prisons.” “There’s a war on cars.” “Homelessness has nothing to do with housing.” Cities are flooded with myths like these. The Urban Truth Collective is pushing back with facts and better storytelling. usa.streetsblog.org/2026/03/05/u...

And I am so, so, so angry at the stupid culture wars and deliberate blocks put in place to the nation being able to have energy sovereignty. That any chance we had of transitioning the energy economy was derailed decades ago by fu*kers simping for fossil fuel. Energy security IS national security

Just checking in again on how Woodside and Santos are going

A hacking tool called DarkSword has leaked online, putting millions of iPhones and iPads running out-of-date software at risk of data-theft attacks, simply by visiting a malicious website. You've probably got a lot of questions. We have some answers, including what you can do to stay protected.

No really, I am not kidding when I say that the data broker industry must be destroyed: www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

Sovereignty overboard

The Greens sometimes cop flak for saying there's no meaningful difference between Labor and the Libs. Well here they are voting - together- against lifting welfare payments above the poverty line and abolishing the parental and partner income tests. Maybe we're onto something?

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power. They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals. Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

Fancy that. A gas station. Where no car is tanking gas - but the EV chargring units are fully occupied. The stone age didn’t end because we ran out of stones – and the fossil‑fuel age won’t end because we run out of oil. It will end because better, more reliable technologies take over.

NEW: Our study discovers that companies boost their profits up to 200% by making it harder for you to cancel subscriptions. Your exhaustion & frustration is what makes these companies profitable. @julianakaplan.bsky.social breaks it down & how it's costing us $165B a year in wasted time & money.

Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could bring in $17 BILLION a year – funding the essential services Australians rely on. Meanwhile, big gas keeps cashing in while everyday Australians pay the price. ✍️ Sign the petition: https://theaus.in/4sPXvlj

Part 2 in "Just how big is the oil and gas industry". The private adult education sector pays almost as much in wages as does the gas industry. Profits are a tad different. live.thepoint.com.au/2026/03/the-...

Because too much public money goes to private schools?

Schools ask parents to contribute to basic supplies such as stationery and first aid supplies. The price tag can be four figures per child, per year. 👉 Read the full story: theconversation.com/why-are...

The unmitigated gall of the Murdochs. To personally lobby Trump to start an illegal war. And then turn round & act cute on their front pages like this. The scale of hurt & pain they cause ordinary people worldwide is staggering.

Because of the way generative AI works, there is no real way to prevent false information being presented as truth – or to correct it permanently.

Absolutely chilling 4Corners / Panorama special on Trump & his trillionaire tech henchmen, out for themselves at the expense of Government, society & the wellbeing of the planet. Everyone needs to do everything they can to impede them

Meanwhile the war blows the work we have been doing to curb carbon emissions. #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Which in part explains this data of course. Americans are in a polluting league of their own!

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

This isn’t 2020 as we can’t just turn the global economy off and then on like what happened with Covid - the level of capital destruction that is happening at the moment means there is no switch to turn back on. 2020 doesn’t apply here. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Amy Remeikis:"Because of the way we treat politics, and how dedicated so many of our institutions, including the media, are to maintaining the status quo, the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians and the destruction of international law didn’t matter until fuel prices went up..."

Wild what you can get away with in articles about cycling. This is objectively false! A city with less driving and more biking is far safer for pedestrians. Hate cyclists all you want but that’s an empirical fact

Grégoire says he's riding to city hall on a bike as a "homage to this mobility revolution that brings to much. And, ultimately, it's nicer to do this by biking than by driving."

Why are our roads full of bros in mega-utes and not cars like these? 😭

How's everyone else's scams going? My scam is parked in the driveway and just started charging off solar power for $0.

Did she not get this message after the last federal election? #auspol

I understand ON have done well in the votes but there’s a long way to go before the orange girl gets any real electoral success so let’s not start deferring to her as some kind of legitimate political authority thank you very much

Why is Alpecin pushing so hard? #couchpeloton #MilanSanRemo

One Nation is simultaneously working to clean their image to sucker in old Libs, propagandise the volatile state of the world to sucker in young idiots, and shift even further right to satisfy their increasingly deranged base. All bankrolled by fossil fuel billionaires. It's a nightmare come true.

There is no solar power crisis. No wind power crisis. No insulation crisis. No heat pump crisis. No e-bike crisis. No electric bus crisis. But there is a #fossilfuel crisis. And a #climatecrisis.

Is the media’s ongoing ‘Rise of One Nation’ actually based on anything?
