Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

This millennium has already used up its weirdness allowance.

Recently MUP quietly released First Nations Writing: Meanjin 1977 to today. Co-editors Jeanine Leane & Dan Bourchier selected First Nations pieces published in Meanjin that represented "Writing about us, by us". Meanjin is gone but we're still writing/storytelling www.mup.com.au/books/meanji...

oh no!

Thanks to every one of you who turned up and demanded #climate action! #auspol @risingtideaus.bsky.social

BREAKING 🚨: The government has just announced that they are ending new oil and gas exploration in the UK and have started a plan for workers and communities to transition away from fossil fuels. 🧵

Being a weird kid might mean you are doomed to work in impact. I talked about this and much more with Indio Myles on the Impact Boom pod. Have a listen, or a read the interview in sweet silence :) www.impactboom.org/blog/2025/11...

Powerful joint statement from so many organisations on: Australia’s national environment laws @australiainstitute.org.au #auspol australiainstitute.org.au/post/joint-s...

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine. Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

This, by @giacgrassi.bsky.social, remains one of the simplest and best climate visuals

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

“[open social] must be funded like infrastructure, not consumer apps. In fact, given the scale of hybrid threats, it should be funded from defense budgets, not innovation leftovers. The strategic layer of democracy is the information layer. And right now, it is outsourced.” @seabass.bsky.social

And that's a wrap on Australia's COP31 bid.

A reminder that crypto mining continues to be one of the world's most severe wastes of energy and one of the most shockingly pointless causes of environmental harm Like generative ML, you have to burn more energy for every new dollar of profit. Death spiral ensues www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

So, anyone got the inside run on hosting for #COP31? Not looking like Australia working to win!

More than 270,000 malicious emails impersonating Services Australia and Centrelink have flooded Australian inboxes in one of the nation’s largest phishing campaigns in years, with the sophisticated attacks specifically targeting the country’s most vulnerable citizens www.smh.com.au/technology/c...

I got out of the habit of reading magazines bc of the social pressure of writers reading what's trendy/popular or frankly expected of you. This year, I've dedicated myself back to reading magazines and I'm truly having the time of my life.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

People moan about AI taking people’s jobs, so interact and keep demand high for in person jobs - Go to the post office when you need to renew/post/register things - Go to the bank and get money out - Go to the shops and spend money, stop buying online - Go use public transport - Go to the library

Fossil fuel lobbyists are now talking gas up as a ‘green’ fuel. To be absolutely clear, this is nonsense. Coal full life cycle emissions: 800-1,700g CO2e/kWh Gas full life cycle emissions: 290-930g CO2e/kWh Wind power full life cycle emissions: 5-15g CO2e/kWh

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

“Incoherent empty men want to sell me the chance to stop reading and writing and thinking, to stop caring for my kids or talking to my parents, to stop choosing what I do or knowing why I do it”

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

2 minute speaking limits is a joke. These are serious, complex issues and deliberations that require due consideration

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Did you see us today in The Canberra Times? Australians have voted for climate action – add your name to our petition urging Murray Watt to actually strengthen our environmental laws and stop new coal and gas projects! #auspol

This is amazing!!

I have never seen such a perfect image

Sanders: Today, October 18th 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Dunno if youse are across this... but it's forecast that in Sydney on Wednesday the temp will be 38C. (100 F) It's OCTOBER! That's FIFTEEN DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE! Our Government and fossil fuel companies are determined to cook us alive! Boil the oceans. Kill our forests. Turn habitat to ash.🥺😩

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

After asking Dept of Climate Change & Energy on cost of the 2035 target, Sarah Henderson doesn’t want to hear the answer & desperately tries to stop Kath Rowley from embarrassing her on the cost of ‘not’ having a target Kath Rowley “If I could just finish my answer?”🙄 #Estimates
