As Octavia E. Butler wrote to herself, “When you have nothing to say, don’t worry. Simply say nothing.”

The Icelandic openers had put on quite a stand in tricky conditions. Those waiting to bat down the order were mere shells of the men they had been at the start of the match.

The Monthly congratulates Rick Morton, who won the non-fiction category at last night's Prime Minister's Literary Awards for his painstaking account of the government's illegal robodebt scheme, 'Mean Streak'. Read Rick's most recent Monthly article, 'An antidote to futility', here:

Mulatu Astatke - Mulatu Plays Mulatu - glorious sound on this new studio album with contributions from Dexter Story and Carlos Niño

Over 7 years, Dezi Freeman's online presence drastically changed. We've laid out dozens of his posts so you can track his transformation from sharing photos of nature and his family, to a man obsessed with COVID-19 conspiracy theories and making threats to police. SEE: www.crikey.com.au/20...

this gets toward the real reasons. the timidity and lack of institutional courage & honesty is astounding

this is great research 👇

Glou Wine Bar in Collingwood - the bar that donated all of the drinks VS used during our federal election campaign - had Nelson Alexander reach out to ask if they could have their Christmas party there. Their response is marvellous.

If Melbourne University Publishing doesn’t want to keep publishing Meanjin, they should hand over the journal to someone worthy of the responsibility. Me in The Conversation theconversation.com/the-decision...

great stuff by Antony. what a voice he is.

Something from Meanjin a few years back: Randa Abdel Fattah on Palestinian erasure… meanjin.com.au/latest/lobbi...

is the point that there is no ROI? That all Ai VC is trousered by billionaires or incinerated? That VC cash incinerators rapidly accelerate climate crises in return for fungible slop? That stealing all human creativity to attack collective human knowledge is fucking evil?

Never been a man less suited to late Elizabethan fashions than William Russell. Looks like he was born to flip sausages on a barbecue wearing t-shirt, shorts with lots of pockets, and crocs.

We have sent radio beamed messages out to our neighbours of Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Jan Mayen, but not received any response. It seems we remain the only cricket playing land up here.

Ooft quite a correction

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

It is an obscenity that this woman sits in judgment over Australians while she defends the perpetrators of this atrocity. Palestinians deliberately starved of food by the Israeli govt while this taxpayer funded, multi-millionaire sits in her govt office telling us what we should think about it.

eight minutes. the deepest of #deephouse - -2008. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR_E...

The Australian went after Sarah Schwartz in January, falsely claiming she was antisemitic. An independent review has just called out its actions.

incredible that Senator Wong led the sanction of Sen Mehreen Faruqi for holding a sign but can't bring herself with the govt to sanction a genocidal regime. Warped.

In the aftermath of Spotify's CEO pouring a billion into military tech, I was thrilled to get to talk to @lizpelly.bsky.social ‬about her great, enraging and ultimately energising book, Mood Machine, about what the tech giants have done to music and how, and what we can all do to loosen their grip

Absolute rubbish. It was first reported in Feb - she knew, as did the government. No one did anything. They hoped no one else had noticed. Has she denounced Advance? No. Has she condemned the donation? Also no.

This should be more than ample grounds for Segal to step down from the Envoy position

Jillian Segal’s husband is John Roth, whose company Henroth Investments Pty Ltd donated $50,000 in 2023-24 to Advance Australia, one of the most inflammatory and divisive special interest groups in Australian politics

🚨Antisemitism boss Jillian Segal and her husband are the second biggest funders of far-right group "Advance". The extremist lobby group spreads online racism and xenophobia, including directly targeting Palestinians... theklaxon.com.au/hrgd

clearly she's NQR.

No aboriginal voice. Yes Israel govt voice.
