Football before the rich stole it from us.

Trees are time machines! A single mature oak can absorb 48 pounds of CO2 annually, helping combat climate change. But did you know some bristlecone pines are over 5,000 years old, living links to the dawn of civilization? 🌳🕰️ #TreesAreMagic #ClimateAction

This photo needs to be the front page of every news paper in the world. Ambulances in Gaza…

reminds me of the Frankie Boyle quote. "“Not only will America go to your country and kill all your people, they’ll come back twenty years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.”

Trump wants a 200% tariff on pharmaceuticals from Australia. Make no mistake. They want us to scrap the PBS. The US pharmacy lobby wants you to pay $2000 for medications you currently pay $20 for, just to line the pockets of billionaires. Fuck off. Our PBS is not for sale.

We must never allow the US to dictate the terms of our PBS. The PBS is a pillar of our universal health system. It is the reason why in Aus, we pay just A$21/month for cholesterol meds, while US citizens can pay A$2,628. abc.net.au/news/2025-07-0…

The Grok fiasco underlines one of the biggest threats from AI: technocrats using it for social engineering purposes. Sure, this time it was obvious, but don’t think there aren’t ten thousand other ways it’s more subtly biasing society towards the interests of malevolent power

Many of us feel for the millions of Americans whose health will be harmed by Trump's disgraceful legislation. But there is no way Australians will ever wear change to the PBS - a foundation of equity in our system since the 1940s. Stay the course, Jim. theage.com.au/politics/feder…

“Jazz stands for freedom. It's supposed to be the voice of freedom: Get out there and improvise, and take chances, and don't be a perfectionist - leave that to the classical musicians.” — Dave Brubeck

Capitalism is a system where costs don’t disappear, they’re simply displaced. From ledgers to lungs. From profit margins to coral reefs. The market calls this externality. Life calls it extinction.

"This war has crossed every moral, security and ethical boundary": Meet the Israelis who refuse to fight in Gaza haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

There seems to be no limit to what the Trump administration will do to try to deter prosecution of Israeli war crimes and genocide in Gaza. None of this chest beating is likely to work.

“Her children didn’t know about her war-time service until 2000”

“Realise that everything connects to everything else,” says one of the most intelligent human beings who ever lived.

Hear! Hear!

One day, history books will record that the United States sanctioned Francesca Albanese for speaking out against genocide, while Netanyahu was welcomed to the White House for perpetrating one. Shameful.
