It seems that Jordan may be lying on the cooperation that led to the airstrikes as was announced by the Jordanian army, Syria denies any cooperation took place and demands answers on how Jordan determined where to bomb.

Following alleged airstrikes against Islamic State by Jordan, a diplomatic crisis has completely blown up between two states tonight. Jordanian airstrikes were heavy handed, likely killing many Syrian civilians even if jihadists were the target.

And, here we go. Jordan has just announced airstrikes against a jihadi group in Daraa (!), southern Syria. Earlier, the state denied links to outside organizations, it seems Amman by evening changed that view. There is only one group they could be targeting there.

Michaelia Cash tries to smear young First Nations leader Ethan Floyd over his Young People's Award nomination—for daring to challenge NSW’s proposal to ban phrase globalise the intifada & trying to provide aid to Gaza from a flotilla. Blatant political bullying. Shameful.

You know it’s not fair to call Elon a racist. He’s responsible for the deaths of plenty of white kids too. I mean, sure, he’s not an equal opportunity mass murderer but come on people. Points for trying.

New research involving 378 hospitalised COVID-19 patients found that elevated levels of IL-6, an inflammatory signalling molecule, and neutrophils together in a blood test identified patients with a 14-fold higher risk of death. The test could improve risk prediction, but further research is needed.

Just to clarify something to those who aren’t familiar with Algeria: there will unlikely be any explanation or clarification about this deployment or the nature or scope of the deployment from the Algerian government and/or military. It’s total omertà, as usual.

Literally unprecedented. Algeria to deployment military troops/units to Niger. From what I’m hearing, it’s an open deployment. The official line is to protect investments in the oil sectors (construction of the Nigeria-Niger-Algeria pipeline & facilities). Unofficially, it’s an open mission.

There have now been major voter suppression occurrences registered in 12 out of 27 states in Brazil. Major liberal Brazilian news channel ICL reports São Paulo mayor Ricardo Nunes, who supports Flávio Bolsonaro, said earlier he couldn’t “justify the costs” of running a full fleet in the city today.

ICYMI an Israeli company hijacked online ads to track millions of devices and open the door to zero-click spyware, with our nuclear science agency, critical infrastructure and newsrooms compromised. This is a big deal.

Australian police are rolling out Cellebrite's Israeli phone cracking software, and now another Israeli tech firm has turned online ads against our agencies. We need an urgent review of all surveillance companies operating here and the risks they pose to privacy and public data.

The Digital Duty of Care mentions advertising only in the context of nudify apps. Dangerous ads like those sent to ANSTO, and the data profiling used to target them, aren’t directly captured by the duty, this needs fixing.

The Israel lobby is at it again. The Israel-supporting council in Barnet UK, long an epicentre of the antisemitism scam, has approved a motion declaring anti-Zionism to be antisemitism. The motion targets the Green party’s landmark declaration that Zionism is racism. skwawkbox.org/2026/10/24/lab…

Birds are mostly territorial. When forests are cut, they can't just move to a new one because birds already established there will fight them off. Deer, foxes, rabbits, lynxes, rodents, insects, plants, and fungi have also lost their homes. Trees emit phytoncides that are beneficial to humans.
