My new book chapter with Linda Brennan: Social Marketing Communication: Influencing Behaviours for Social Good. We revisit the Four Es framework (Engage, Easy, Educate, Enduring) and tackle challenges like misinformation and funding constraints. 🔗 doi.org/10.1515/9783... #SocialMarketing

It says a lot about the Liberal party when they are ok with "ditch the witch" but want to ban "globalise the intifada". #springst #auspol

A reminder, Russia was responsible for the shooting down on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 which killed 27 Australians. And this is our AUKUS partner with whom according to Richard Marles we have "shared values"

Politicians are quick to shift blame to social media - and it is part of the problem - but in the last week we witnessed a racist attack "shamed and stoned" by a Liberal against a Labor minister in parliament without repercussion and One Nation making vile videos about a Senator’s medical condition.

It’s almost as if the Choadster was a distraction

I took this beast from Melbourne to Wycheproof and back this weekend…. Can recommend

Regular reminder that if you buy a Tesla, you are finsncially supporting Trump’s election campaign. Elon Musk is still funding Trump’s midterm campaign.

The Onion predicted it theonion.com/doj-to-bring...

… but does this person he’s never heard of have a Fifa Peace Prize?

Executions are barbaric. Televised executions are grotesque. @albomp.bsky.social: at what point are you going to say something?

Waiting for my new headphones to arrive so I had to rawdog it at the gym today… they were playing the Twin Peaks soundtrack 😳

Who’s going to win the 2026 Fifa Peace Prize?

So the Libs are aiming to be Temu One Nation, then? #auspol

Tell me one thing that Pauline Hanson has achieved in 30 years of being a career politician… anything at all.

We're repeatedly told that the killer app for pervert glasses - Meta's AI-enabled camera glasses and their imitators - is that they will remind you of someone's name and spare you the social awkwardness of not recognizing them.

Just finished the last half hour of #70up with bleary eyes.

So glad to see Neil #70up

Vox pops of only "small business owners" whinging about credit card surcharge bans... sounds like they are just not cut out to run businesses.

Obviously AI-ed emails from colleagues - please, just stop.

Classic youtu.be/k9zL9wlMvZE?...

I pressed the Copilot button in Outlook for a lark... certainly no chance of Microsoft's AI killing us all off. Colour me relieved.

I am concerned about the peer review requests I am getting with “Gen Z” in the title… might as well be about Scorpios or Capricorns.

Congratulations Prague! At least Melbourne beat London. #europeantramdriverchampionship #warsaw

Albo and Labor are just awful with migration. What on earth are they thinking? #auspol

Mind blown: Some people still have Bigpond email addresses

There is no such thing as "low-level drink-driving", Warren Pickering. You had your licence taken off you on three occasions because your behaviour posed a risk to the community. Cut the nonsense. #springst #auspol #onenation

This place is hyped and rightly so. Staying in Da Nang this time, but it was worthwhile to take the 45 minute car trip to Hoi An to get one of these beauties (or maybe 2) - and still great value at VND40,000 or about A$2.

So torn each time I return to my second home in Vietnam - part of me would return to live here in a heartbeat 💗

Reading student work, I never thought there'd be a day when I would yearn for spelling mistakes. #ai

Watching Albo try to justify the crap, indefensible gambling laws on #730.

Good night Australia!

Idea for the reflecting pool

So much boomer energy from Dicko #TheTraitorsAU

On 7:30, Sussan Ley discovers poor people on American buses.

In other news, Jess Wilson wants to force Blockbuster and Video Ezy to reopen #SpringSt #vicpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Jayden was consistently excellent #racearoundtheworld

Arguably it was the $10b North East Link cost blowout that delayed Airport Rail. Better assessment of major projects before they start, including benefits and costs, is vital. Read our letter in The Age today.

Yeah yeah yeah, and the USA is the hottest country right now… go back to watching Revenge of the Nerds

Spewing that I can’t buy Haigh’s Chocolate any more. #4corners #foodfraud #sustainability

The various mining companies might as well just offer office space to the WA Premier Roger Cook’s team. It would just be easier.

RIP Bill Oddie
