Bali has been facing a near breakdown in its transport system as fuel shortages lead to hours of queues at petrol stations. The government’s chaotic policy on support for battery motorbikes, and its economy-breaking subsidies for petrol, are to blame: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative 😎👏💙👏😎 Juice Media

Why are Victorians convinced that they were badly governed during COVID ... and *still* hold a grudge against Labor for that? The data doesn't much support such a position: x.com/Gergyl/statu.... Everyone was still learning.

The Tesla Cybertruck failed Australian road safety standards and won't be sold here. Studies reveal their roofs crumple when drop bears fall on them from overhanging trees.

Absolutely worth reading commentary by leading economist #thomaspicketty on the causes of France’s education demonstrations. So many lessons about inequality & misshapen political means & ends - certainly echoing in Anglosphere (more timid at demos) thomaspiketty.wordpress.com/2026/10/20/h...

What a surprise the homeless camp that got moved to a flood area is getting flooded in Morton Bay with the rain this week :/

For nearly 45 yrs, I've watched 'Qld landowners' bitch & moan about *everything* - the original whining squattocracy *demanding* that the State (oh, the irony) socialise their losses & privatise their profits, just because their parents & g/parents robbed, raped, poisoned & shot the original owners.

After the Firmus IPO collapse, now NextDC has seen a huge collapse in its share price (partly related to community opposition to one of its projects that required new transmission infrastructure) Like - a HUGE collapse. Back to 2017 levels www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

“The compromised eMudhra keys were defective at a level that’s challenging the imagination of many of the engineers studying the incident. ... ‘That is extremely in the ‘this should not be possible’ category,’ Valdorda said.”

You paying attention @albomp.bsky.social? It's gross inequality that erodes democracy and a decent society, and your right-wing @australianlabor.bsky.social government is making it worse. What then is the point of Labor? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10... #auspol

How accurate is this? Personally I think it’s absolutely spot on.

Love reposting this 😎💙😎 Israelis entered her bookstore asking for books about Jerusalem. She said: "I gave them 100-year-old books describing that land as Palestine, older than their state, which was established to replace Palestine. They got angry, and that's a good thing." 🤭🤭🤭

Environmental protection is not a Western idea. Our grandparents practiced it. They had sacred forests. They had rest days for the land. We called it tradition. Science now calls it conservation. We need to return to that wisdom, with new tools.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

Environmental sustainability means living like we have only ONE Earth — because we do. It’s using resources at the rate nature can replenish them. Not next year. Not for our grandkids. For us, right now. #Sustainability #ActOnClimate

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Who would have thought the Chinese would be the ones to bring the power wagons back to Australian roads! With over 700kw of power and over 900nm torque and over 700km range! The Avatr 06T wagon is coming to Oz. Just need a sandman version now!

Math isn't hard. You had bad teachers. They taught you math was all about symbols. They forced you to memorize formulas you didn't understand. They forgot to teach you how to derive concepts from first principles. They never showed you math using spatial intuition.
