An excellent introduction to decentralized mechanical ventilation has been produced by the English company @breathingbuildings.bsky.social in this document: www.breathingbuildings.com/wp-content/u... Very clear drawings make it easy to understand the proposed solutions. H/T @chrisiddon.bsky.social

A little housekeeping after an election. Updating the electorate data. polipedia.com.au/electorate/B... Now with turnout and informal percentages. Hella-poor informal vote rate, considering only 8 candidates.

Good to see. Have read articles that mention Iran closing the Straits of Hormuz but no handy map to go with it. So, naturally, people are looking it up.

So great to see this research. Bird deaths are a huge issue, yet some people seem to think they're only caused by wind turbines.

Canberra Liberals MLA Peter Cain resigns from the shadow cabinet, citing concerns about the party's leadership.

"On this day in 1865, the last slaves in Galveston, Texas were finally freed. This day is a celebration of the resilience and strength of our ancestors, and a reminder of the work we still have to do to create the future they dreamed of." #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

My new oped Netanyahu is using Muslim women’s 'rights’ to justify his war. What hideous, hollow hypocrisy www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Vic Lib leader Brad Battin who’s been criticised for failing to condemn NeoNazis is asked about the Deeming / Pesutto / NeoNazi Farce. Battin “I don’t want to talk about it. Victorians don’t want to talk about it” He’s lying. I’m from Victoria & I want to talk about it.

Congratulations to spacex on testing the fire, it definitely does a lot of fire

For a while I've been burrowing away at this, trying to get to the bottom of one my biggest obsessions; the long running absolutely dire state of Australia's opposition at every level. Here's part 1: www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/19/a...

State seat of Lyons is now in, with more candidates to come. Interesting to see Nationals make their move, scooping up independents to join them. #Politas www.polipedia.com.au/electorate/L... There will be so many more candidates to add, and more details on as many as we can find.

There is a lot to catch up on in national and state politics. But, back to basics for now and I'm gonna re-jig the Tas state electorate pages so that only this year's candidates show up. Might call it something clever like Bass State Tas 2025 (so that it's not confused with Bass State Vic.) #Politas

Nobody had any WD 40?

What's with that weird genocidal ethnostate that keeps mass-murdering civilians and expanding its borders into all its neighbouring states and if you talk about it you lose your job (or, in the US, end up disappeared into a concentration camp)? Free Palestine. Melbourne

Pauline Hanson's One Nation and the Jacqui Lambie Network — both minor parties that have appealed to disaffected voters — have decided not to field candidates in this election. #Politas www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Do we understand yet why Corbyn could never be allowed near power? Sanity – or just simple restraint – disqualifies one from membership of the cabal running the West's war machine.

They’re burning books. Boarding up libraries. And trying to block @archive.org from preserving the websites they’re purging. This is fascism. And under fascism, you self publish. Here’s how: halfletterpress.com/why-self-pub... [inspired by @prisonculture.bsky.social Why Make Zines in 2025]

Good morning and happy Saturday. This headline makes us want to scream. Sparking? Nope. How about "confirming"? And do NOT try the 'supply and demand' argument or even the Labor govt's new red herring, 'red tape'. It's tax policy. #Auspol

Sigh. How is it defence when it was a 'pre-emptive' strike? Which, by definition, means they fired first.

Media release: Israel’s bombing of Iran places entire region at risk

Ebs here. Sorry to sound unprofesh, but was hoping for a little more of a lull between elections. #Politas Here we go again!

There are ICE agents at the employee parking lot by the Harbor exit of Disneyland.

BREAKING: At least 21 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza this morning, sources at local hospitals tell our team. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/m4ewkf

Today is a national day of action on Palestine. Help push our government to stand against this genocide. Make your voices heard.

You are a national treasure.

Oh gawd. It's The Smugening. #Auspol

The only way to switch this off is to use another search engine instead of google.

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

It’s not ‘uneconomic’ to build houses in Australia. Builders & developers are doing very nicely. High income earners are spending a fortune on extensions & holiday homes What’s ‘uneconomic’ is thinking builders will ever build small houses for the poor instead of big ones for the rich

Biles is right. Gaines came equal fifth with the trans athlete means four other athletes were better than both of them.

It’s super fucked up that if you say that genocide is wrong, News Corp will actively campaign against you by saying that criticising Israel is “equally” as bad as Holocaust denial, until you lose sources of income.

Republic Now!

The eugenics were always there, it's just some of them had a better way of hiding it.

The Libs and Nats have the chance to do the funniest thing ever in 'listening to voters' and rebuilding the party. They could get their primary vote to the 45% mark in 2028 by adding PHON & Greens into the broad church. #Auspol
