I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

A lot of people have voiced concern about the energy and water consumption of AI data centres. In this week’s If You’re Listening, we’ve taken a close look at the data: youtu.be/_mJLTOs5i44?...

Not now, carnivorous death ball

They're not going to do this but the route should be going down the east side of Lake Macquarie and Lake Tuggerah:

Japan beat Canada. It is finally a real World Series.

Does this mean Canada is part of America now? Is that how this works? #worldseries

Gaza is not just decimated. It appears beyond repair. That is devastating. Great reporting by Matt Bevan.

Lots of people are comparing the current level of investment in AI to the Dot-Com Bubble of 1999-2000. I had a closer look at the similarities and differences: youtu.be/ZIbEn5oH4jA?...

This is a photo from Trump’s renovation of the Lincoln bedroom ensuite and um… can people in the East Wing and Treasury Building just… watch White House guests poop?

ABC's @mattbevan.bsky.social uses a comparison with the destruction of Mosul, Iraq (2017) to explain the unimaginable level of devastation in Gaza. Superb "If You're Listening" ep. (Bevan also makes some key points by the facts he leaves unspoken.) #Israel #Palestine #Gaza youtu.be/qBsxXZ7d9xM?...

My 4 kids are currently trying to play with water bombs

This is such a good show. @mattbevan.bsky.social provides much needed context and in depth reporting . youtu.be/qBsxXZ7d9xM

Rough year for the Heard Island penguins. First Trump slaps them with tariff and now this.

The Australian Government has launched an "ESCAPE. HIDE. TELL." campaign to help people respond if they're confronted by an armed attacker. I mean... I feel like "run away, hide, call for help" is something that 3.7 billion years of evolution has hardwired into our DNA but sure, thanks for the tip.

Checking in on the White House renovations…

Lol Melbourne-Adelaide

Australians on Facebook reading American news: Yeah, you tell him! No Kings!!! Meanwhile:

Under Over Over - West Hampstead So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains. The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

Lol you think?

Of course he’s not wearing the face mask properly. Very on brand.

Ahyes, thanks Grok, very helpful information

Interesting to notice that the Australian Podcast Awards seems to have ceased to exist. RIP to a truly extraordinary hustle by a foreign marketing company.

The current freakout over Stephen Miller saying “plenary” is a classic example of how terrible coverage of the Trump era is. Miller didn’t say something by accident then mute himself. He’s been saying the President has “plenary authority” for months. It’s one of his favourite things to say.

Watching the #nrlgf surrounded by Broncos fans like:

Everyone: I’ll make sure I’ve got access to a nice big TV to watch the Grand Final highlights. Channel 9: Lol thanks, more room for Kia ads

Whatever the Broncos are paying Reece Walsh it’s not enough

Somethings happened on the 9 news Queensland stream. Halfway through a reporter’s cross at the Olympic Stadium about the Grand Final they cut to 5 full minutes of ads without explanation, and then threw to a prerecorded story about crime rates.

Visiting K’gari (Fraser Island) with family and it wasn’t until I got here that I learned that you have to carry a stick with you wherever you go. This should be on the tourism brochure. Mandatory stick carrying is every dude’s dream.

I thought that adding more computer would fix the problems but now I just have different problems and less money.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

Matt Bevan (ABC Australia) sheds some much-needed light on alarming events occurring off the coast of Venezuela (i.e., a sizeable US military buildup, ruthless attacks on several boats, etc.) and what historical precedent may perhaps suggest could be taking shape. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrcR...

Trump bombing speedboats off the coast of Venezuela seems kind of pointless. Until you look at it from a historical perspective. This is page one in the Panama Invasion Playbook. The full story is in the latest episode of If You’re Listening youtu.be/UrcROiL-IXI?...

I’m sure “politician secretly working with country that keeps threatening to nuke us” used to be a bigger story

Just recently @hankgreen.bsky.social had a good video putting forth a theory as to why a bunch of people are embracing certain drugs as miracle cure-all's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC9g...

Obviously there’s a lot to be said out of this but one thing that isn’t being discussed enough is how Jo Koy somehow still gets gigs even after the 2024 Golden Globes.

Partisan murders, good or not? We have the results

In the first Trump Administration it took 3 years before we got to the "insane off-the-cuff medical advice from Dr Don" phase. This time it only took like 8 months.

Dear Americans, please stop sending your complaints about the axing of Jimmy Kimmel to ABC Australia. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

When you want clarity without chaos, Matt Bevan delivers. No shouting, no clickbait—just clean journalism with an accent that makes it all go down easier. Great video to share with those that don’t follow day-to-day politics about Charlie Kirk. @mattbevan.bsky.social youtu.be/uiUPis_XDTA?...

at one point Albania was on the brink of civil war after the collapse of pyramid schemes that had sucked up roughly half of GDP, and now that is only the *second* stupidest thing the country has done.

Tomorrow on If You're Listening, the danger of the "they are coming to get us" narrative that is now spreading in America.

So, I'm sad that Colbert's show is being cancelled, but also he keeps saying that 200 people work on the show. I mean... I cannot fathom how they get to 200 staff on that show. I can only think of jobs for like 50 people. If someone can explain how they get to 200 that would be appreciated.
