Our reporters Nate Halverson and Sam Van Pykeren caught up with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) at Alex Pretti's memorial in Minneapolis on Monday. "To lose a 37-year-old son, and then to have that son insulted as a terrorist as opposed to celebrated as a hero...I was furious."

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

10. It’s time to recognise how deeply weird this is, reserve our votes for people who give us what we want, and stop subscribing to media outlets that lie on behalf of oligarchs. More on this subject, with facts and figures, in my most recent column: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rob Hirst was a force of nature, a born showman who led Midnight Oil from the back

Vale Rob Hirst - drummer in Midnight Oil. A champion for social justice and credited for many of their songs. This from his prime #auspol youtu.be/6RaMvEk55kQ?...

Rob Hirst has had a massive impact on Australian culture. He was the engine driving one of the greatest live bands of all time. RIP, dear Rob. You are irreplaceable, one of a kind, and myself, my family, and all the rest of this great country will miss you so much.

Good question.

Murphy: "As their agenda becomes more unpopular, they then become more dependent on trying to rig out democracy and rig the next election, bc nobody is gonna vote these guys back in ... You gotta connect the dots here. What they are trying to do is rationalize violence."

Is there much COVID around? Do I need the new booster shot LP.8.1? theconversation.com/is-there-muc... My new article for The Conversation

@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder. There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.

The father was licensed for six firearms. How can you possibly be licensed for SIX firearms? We need to tighten our gun laws

The second covers children under 18. Like the young adults, outcomes simply much better if you are vaccinated against Covid versus not, and this data is from an era where majority of people have already had covid +/- primary vaccine so it concerns value of a booster www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

Another small Australian December (!) #flu thread. In the ~13 days since my last update (03DEC), detections have risen by 16,155. That's a daily rate of 1,616 (_up_ again, from 1,293 in the previous update).

Two studies just published showing that COVID vaccination is strongly associated with reduced hospitalisation and death in young adults and children. The first: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I’ve added an Excess Deaths Comparison page to my analysis on that topic. Here I’m comparing the UK, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand, to June 2025. My method projects "Expected Deaths" using a linear regression on the weekly deaths (4-week average) from a baseline of 2015-2019 deaths. 🧵

It's budget time so at the end of our interview w/ Mayor Bachynski, we gave him a printed poster of the image below. It's the density vs services vs taxes venn diagram that @brenttoderian.bsky.social often shares around. It includes Regina-related explanatory notes. #yqrcc youtu.be/FMwOpoT4IAw?...

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

As I’ve explained: one of the best ways to protect your heart health is to keep up with your Covid and flu vaccinations. Don’t listen to antivaccine activists they don’t care about you or your family www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

BREAKING: Wind power just supplied 150% of South Australia’s electricity demand. Fossil fuels? A heroic 1.5%. Thoughts and prayers to everyone who said “renewables will never keep the lights on.” Must be hard watching your entire argument get blown away. reneweconomy.com.au/wind-hits-re...

In the 'very unsurprising' category today... Major study finds tooth decay in Queensland children has declined since water fluoridation expanded. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

It’s not “partisan” to defend science, evidence, and objective reality. It’s partisan to attack science, evidence, and objective reality, to benefit your political “team.” That’s true with climate science, with vaccinology, & with evidence-based city-building, all of which are being attacked. 2/2

On the ICE shooting. 1. It's terrible. 2. Too many disturbed people have access to too many guns in this country. 3. Too many political figures use incendiary and dehumanizing rhetoric. By far the most significant of them is the president. The fish of political violence rots from the head down.

We have always been at war with Tylenol

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

I am starting to think it’s bad that we have an executive branch made up of 90% podcasters

joining the war on autism on the side of autism

none of this anti-science nonsense is remotely funny except perhaps for this bit

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Our review just out: Associations Between Common Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis Treatments and All-Cause Mortality www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/13... Key finding: Exercise and GLP-1 RA prescription are associated with reduced all-cause mortality. @drjohnorchard.bsky.social

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Again, Most "unfair muscle mass " in sports, is straight cis boys taking steroids. Most "gender affirming care for children," is straight cis boys getting gyno surgery to remove the unwanted boobs that they grew, because they took steroids. 🙂🙃 No one really cares about "fairness in sports." 🤷🏿‍♂️
