Our country stands at a critical crossroads. Change must occur - but what kind of change? And crucially, for who? I'm presenting our alternative vision for this country at the National Press Club this Wednesday, 12:30pm AEDT. Tune in live on ABC TV & iView.

Canada announces: Telesat, homegrown satellites, will be expanded and Starlink usage will soon be removed. This is what every country on earth should do asap The world is finally rejecting Elon Musk. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Honestly, Australia would never have the guts to do this.

I still use a paper diary for schedules. My brain can't remember things entered in keypads. But hand writing... its locked in. I just bought the 2027 version. I always buy cheap and cover with a theme. 2026: old notes from philosophy class. 2027: reused floral paper from fancy Italian soap.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

“There are people out there who are angry at the moment. There are people out there who think democracy can’t possibly deliver nice things when the reality is it can” – co-CEO Richard Denniss speaking at the Revenue Summit at Parliament House this week.

The Age gets the twin pillars of its vision for Melbourne together at last. It's like seeing the two ends of a tunnelling job finally break through to join up. Handshakes and commemorative photos are the order of the day.

"There is a peculiar emotional arithmetic in cutting the bad part from a donated apple while reminding yourself to be thankful. Poverty brings shame, even when you know being poor is not a moral failure."

If you're head of the business lobby and you want the Labor Party to do something for you, simply text Anthony Albanese personally and he'll get onto it right away! 🫡

Woke up with a tension headache. Taking a slow start to the day. Panadol, coffee, Voltaren, vyvance. I'm practically rattling.

I already loathe the diesel rebate as an enormous fucking grift of a tax expenditure, it's a policy that needs to die, and it didn't occur to me that it would also apply to datacentre backup generators. Fucking hell that's absurd. au.news.yahoo.com/call-to-end-...

Eight international partners have jointly opposed US sanctions against the International Criminal Court. Australia’s name is missing. Friendship with America should leave plenty of room to defend independent courts. Australia, where’s our voice?

God, Labor, leave some of the evil policy for the Libs. You're covering it all.

This is how you write a headline.

The targeting of one data center is proving a really useful natural experiment showing which sites and ideologies are an echo chamber of Russian propaganda

I hated the movie 'Her' so much I turned it off mid watch. I couldn't stand Joaquin Phoenix's cry baby character. So feckless and whiny! But I see the tech bro boss cohort ate the ever-loving shit out of it, because they are all displaying the same blank stupidity. You're pathetic.

The Reserve Bank of Australia: "millions of working class people have to suffer because some rich fucks got a bit greedy again x"

The government must know full well that many people have neither the space nor the money to store extra food in their homes. It is individuating responsibility for a collective problem. As usual, it is the poorest and most excluded who will suffer from it. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Well, it happened again. I got put on the jumbotron at the grocery store and everyone booed my groceries

hey guys, your favorite manosphere podcaster here and for todays episode we’re gonna spend 2 hours looking at pics of dudes and breaking down how masculine they are, but first we answer the age old question: how gay is it to buy flowers for a woman youre in a committed relationship with?

I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for you though, or sorry that happened

Checking out. My @smh cartoon.

Listen, I was born poor and rural. My high school mascot was a literal hillbilly. I understand white trash culture. I can say with complete confidence that this is white trash culture. 

A lawyer on Instagram just said that Catholics can refuse to use AI in work for religious reasons now that the Pope has made his position clear on it.

Fuck this. #fuck

Genocide grants. They hid it. Government has given $78m in grants to Australian F-35 suppliers. Used in Israel slaughter in Gaza and probably now in illegal bombing of Iran @sstephanietrann.bsky.social #auspol #F35 michaelwest.com.au/genocide-gra...

Very happy to say that Neurodiversity: A Very Short Introduction, written by @suereviews.bsky.social and myself, is out now! It was a lot of fun trying to condense neurodiversity theory, research, practice, and politics into a single, brief book. Available in all the usual places!
