Staggering more mainstream media outlets are covering a story where an autistic woman is hosting a podcast about autism — than this incredible yarn just sitting there about the silencing of their own industry: www.boganintel.com/p/bhp-tries-...

In the US at least, if you find one of our shark tags, you get a t-shirt from the lab! These devices broadcast some of their data, but recovering the physical tag lets you download all the data and is super useful! 🧪🌍🦑🦈

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

If gas taxes are for road maintenance and EV drivers should have to pay a similar fee, then gas drivers should also have to pay a separate carbon tax for their pollution.

Greg Bovino and the head of New York's Young Republicans were in Portugal this weekend for a neo-fascist summit on ethnic cleansing. So why didn't the press cover it? My latest for @theredoubt.net, on extremism, antisemitism and media double standards: www.theredoubt.net/why-did-the-...

Bluesky with its new moderation tool is purging sex workers from the platform. Im fully expecting to have my account yeeted into oblivion This is disgusting puritan bullshit

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

all public transit should be free. if you're worried there will be homeless people on it, i have a simple solution: house them.

@scidocmartin.bsky.social I have had my "heart age" calculated using a retinal camera, which can actually see your retinal blood vessels in vivo, at an optometry conference. They are finding the retinal imaging can diagnose all sorts of cardio vascular stuff with AI.

The ones who think people expect "participation trophies" these days are the same ones who think their uninformed opinions on everything should be heard and respected.

Hirdmentum! 🤷‍♂️

HOPE LABOUR my god i did thousands of hours of that shit.

We have just heard in Senate Estimates that the Attorney General's Department and Commissioner Brereton got a draft copy of the Inspector of the NACC's review of the multiple investigations Brereton was involved in weeks ago.

Here's my parenting tip: Stop making laws that hurt LGBTQ+ kids.

Inspired by the Enhanced Games I am launching NASCAR for drunk drivers

Courtside tickets for the Knicks-Cavs game are going for $139,000 each. Is there any greater indication that income inequality is out of control than one seat for a game selling for more than the average income inequality almost every state?

some photos from the Alister Clark Rose Garden in Bulla. Took these a while ago now, but worth a look I thought.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Time to roll out this evergreen message again.

The largest human trafficking operation in existence. . .

@scidocmartin.bsky.social, missed most of your Weird Science this morning. I honestly got distracted 😂. I think it might have been, because I was thinking that as someone with ADHD, this amateur can't tell me anything about being distracted🤷‍♂️

Always

Petition to change the name of the MCG to the NCG, the Naarm Cricket Ground. Just to fuck with the racists.

Spent a wonderful 3 days at the First Nations eye health conference & this is what, “just getting over it” looks like. It’s rebuilding culture & the health of communities . It’s activism & It’s sharing your culture & knowledge to solve problems to enable First Nations communities to thrive.

Dunno if he blocked me or deleted his post. Huh? Deleting his post suggests he has the capacity to think better of it…

Threads is a fucking cesspit. Very horrible. People who think the world gives a fuck if they think their wife should take their surname. Not surprisingly, this is completely hypothetical for them & likely always will be

Can someone tell why data centres don’t have closed cooling systems so the don’t waste so much water. Unless I’m just reading it wrong 🤷‍♂️

Google understated emissions for a huge UK project by a factor of five. These 3 data centres alone will account for the same emissions as Bristol (1% of UK's total GHGs). For what, exactly? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I'm going to say this in good faith, because most of the people saying it are well meaning, but please refrain from putting the work 'our' in front of First Nations. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aren't possessions. Not being mad at anyone, just suggesting a shift in language.

I cannot stress enough, things will only get worse until white people collectively decide to let go of racism.

Australia's data center lobby insists it is nothing like the US. But a new report shows data centres drove 50% of the past year of demand growth in Australia's biggest grid: exactly the same proportion as the US. Quick new post digging into the data: ketanjoshi.co/2026/04/30/a...

And let’s be clear what ‘money laundering’ is, because it sounds a bit technical and ‘white collar’. It’s the financial underpinning of organised crime. It’s the basis for murders, for drug dealing, for people trafficking, for institutional sexual exploitation, and for terrorism.

UBI, Universal Basic Income... The machines are our inheritance. They were built from public science, public education, public infrastructure, public data, and generations of human knowledge. Their wealth should flow back to the public.

A few months ago my son’s band were offere good money to cover a song for a milk ad. From memory their biggest single payday. Recently however the agency changed the brief & they were asked to cover a different song for an ad for Australia day instead. They turned it down. #integrity

He is the 17th person to die in ICE custody this year and the 55th person to die in immigration custody since Trump got back into the White House. We will include Carbonell-Betancourt in our next weekly update of our database. May he and all who have died rest in peace.

Is private health insurance a rort surely not? $6.9B subsidies, $1.7B in combined profits Medibank, BUPA, NIB but underpay hospitals by over $1B #auspol Claudia Weisenberger analysis michaelwest.com.au/private-heal...

RFK Jr. presided over firing thousands of HHS employees. Now, HHS is hiring 12,000 new people. He claims that the fired employees “failed” at their jobs and didn’t work on chronic disease. He is a liar. If I’d been fired by those DOGE punks and slandered by RFK Jr… I can’t even express it.

the thing about bluesky is that it sucks but a social media site that doesn't work is still better than twitter

I sold a photo

this eucalyptus, which is probably over 500 years old is in a part of the forest which is planned to be logged and if they cut this tree down they will use it for woodchips

So why doesn't the same logic apply to weed? Why do I have to jump through a perpetual series of expensive hoops to obtain one of the cheapest and safest medications in existence for my diagnosed ADHD. @albomp.bsky.social, you don't treat any of us like adults. #BanGamblingAds, you crooked twat.
