Wonder if the same is happening here in Aus?

Seems like it's not just a Tassie problem !

Massive shoutout to @tasland.bsky.social for a fabulous afternoon of science, art and Tassie with their Science Symposium yesterday. Loved all the info about our local plants and wildlife and was especially moved by the talk from Bridget Webster on "Poeisis in the Anthropocene". 10/10 all round. 💚

This is why Musk bought the White House for Trump in 2024. The level of corruption going on inside government is off the charts and I’m sure when this nightmare is over the true extent of that corruption will be way beyond our worst fears 😲🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Thanks to the MorePerfectUS team for the clip.

Awesome !

Nate Cavanaugh has gone viral recently for his taped deposition about DOGE eliminating "DEI" grants. He's also a key figure in our story from last year. We found that he helped expose a sensitive Afghanistan program, leading to a brutal Taliban crackdown.

The pro-Israel lobby congratulates itself for wrecking the livelihood of Australia’s most prominent campaigner against child sexual abuse.

says it all really: "the idea of continuing to give big miners a diesel fuel rebate rather than doing more to help Australian consumers switch to renewable energy was “insane”"

"got comfortable with the contractual language" 😩 with an organisation that renamed itself the Dept of War !!

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

If Russia and China conspired to destroy the U.S. military with a Manchurian candidate I don't think they could have picked a better choice than Hegseth. The damage he's doing will take decades to fix.

One of numerous reasons why continuing to use Twitter has gone from being kinda gross to being profoundly unethical and immoral.

What conservatives did to Bud Light in 2023, that's what progressives should do to ChatGPT in 2026. OpenAI is so vulnerable right now. With enough pressure, I think it's actually possible to take the whole company down. quitgpt.org

Republicans are rolling on the floor laughing at the fact Chuck Schumer is demanding an ICE code of conduct as a negotiating tactic when anyone can easily access the ICE code of conduct right here.

Countless opeds about Mamdani being a "socialist" and are literally any of those publications talking about Donald Trump not just claiming to take over a country but deciding what companies are allowed/not allowed to operate in that foreign country?

A WIRED investigation reveals that billion-dollar scam compounds in Myanmar—where tens of thousands are enslaved—are using Starlink, the satellite internet service from Elon Musk’s SpaceX, to stay online and keep their operations running.

The Australien Government has made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

Democracy doesn’t mean whoever wins a slight plurality in the national vote gets to rewrite every American institution to satisfy their own whims. The president is not an elected king. If we let him become one, the project of American democracy is over.
