Reform UK Home Affairs spokesperson says if you don’t vote for them they might build a concentration camp in your neighbourhood. Will be nervous watching whether UK votes for this level of xenophobia. Would I be right if I guessed Murdoch press and video is promoting these goblins? #ukpol

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

Six Australians were abducted and abused by Israeli forces in international waters this week for trying to deliver aid to the people of Gaza.

Repeat after me: “Housing affordability only improves when house prices go down relative to wages”

Oooh, another new method for millennials to rack up record amounts of debt to transfer even more wealth to boomers and property developers incoming! #auspol

222 years ago on this date, the first massacre was committed against Aboriginal people in Tasmania. The occupational settlement by white British nationals was one day old. About 300 Aboriginal people from the Big River and Oyster Bay tribes had gathered for a kangaroo drive. Upon being sighted by

I feel dirty.

Excellent news: gas use on Australia's biggest power grid hit a 25 year low in Q1 2026, largely thanks to batteries shifting solar from the middle of the day to the crucial evening peak. Real world emissions cuts. Actual good news. You are allowed to enjoy it. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

The BBC News homepage has now COMPLETELY removed its Climate section?! It has now been relegated to a sub-menu via the "More" button in the right-hand corner.

no gas company left behind ❤️

1/ So angry. First, this is what "elections have consequences" really looks like. In addition to big stuff like wars and Liberation Day tariffs, the whole vast US machinery of state is now working everywhere, on everything, to make the world worse in every way. Thanks guys.

Earlier this month, the federal gov't released the latest data from Australia's largest emissions reduction policy: The Safeguard Mechanism. It's important that you understand the SGM, because the existence of that scheme is being used as an excuse to do some pretty heinous shit. Here goes...

I saw this yesterday. I love when words have multiple meanings.

What if we can’t move all the people and all the “world heritage”? Which should get left behind? Should we prioritise moving a city home to 50,000 Italians rather than a city home to 21,000,000 Indians? The answers seem obvious to me, but in a world obsessed with wealth and property I worry.

“I guess you’re wondering how I ended up here? Me too… “

Hard-right war mongers like Pezzulo and the Australian have been abusing the ANZAC story for decades to encourage weapons build ups and aggression against our neighbours. The ANZACs who came back largely condemned war saying “never again”. Let’s honour that legacy.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought

Remembering Amal Khalil

The Government is planning to cut more than $35 billion from the NDIS. This cut will see over 160,000 people kicked off the NDIS. $35 billion also equates to roughly two-thirds of the cost of one AUKUS submarine.

Fossil fuel exec: “Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy that is cheap and easy to scale is TOO HARD! You cannot do it. So why don’t we just… (checks notes…) build an 80km wide dam 100m down to the sea floor to separate two oceans.”

America is being commanded by people who *literally* wouldn’t pass a Year 6 maths test.

We could create a reel talking about climate solutions and how they're here and ready to go, or we could let the crew at Subway Takes do it instead! And FWIW, we 100% agree.

This cartoon is brutal. But fair. A reflection on very messed up national priorities. #auspol

This RFK claim is both wrong and irrelevant. Wrong bc: COVID has killed many healthy people, and probably continues to. And irrelevant bc: “sick people” (whatever that means 🙄) have no less right to life than others.

Another thing we absolutely didn’t see coming.

Here’s a plan to fully fund the NDIS, cancel AUKUS! That will free up $100 billion over the next decade to give people with disability the support they need.

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

Tributes to James Valentine today will describe him as a “talkback radio host,” but that’s like describing Aretha Franklin as a “singer”. Having watched him and worked with him for years, James was doing something that looked like talkback radio but was much more than that.

If you’ve seen or heard about Seven’s primetime “special investigation” into renewables, then maybe read this too. By me.

The year is 2036. It is 11:59 AM. Supreme Leader Donald Trump Jr. says the Strait of Hormuz is now open. It is not open. No ships have passed through in 8 years. Polymarket received a 20B stake at 11:58 that the President would mention Iran before lunch. U.S. national debt is 400 trillion Euros.

This is so damn good and then you squint at the gas in the background to find the hidden bad news but gas' share is falling too 😍

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

True colours, shining through

TV program looking at appalling mining practices in #Congo says it is a blight on the #renewables and storage industry. But it falls over at the first fact check.

Food banks are not part of a safety net. they are proof we do not have a safety net.

Get yourself to the Shark & Ray Museum at Port Stephens and learn you some shark facts. Their unforgettable spiel: "If sharks wanted to eat people, there would be HUNDREDS of deaths every day. They are an apex predator and are all around you in the sea. But they're just not interested in us."

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market. Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down. These orders were much larger than anything else at the time. Unusual.

Ms 16 just now: “Most ponies can’t even do one trick. A one-trick pony is doing pretty well.”
