My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

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.

We went looking for hoodies today (hooded plovers) but no joy. However, we did find some ruddy turnstones and spent some time on this gorgeous beach at Port Neill.

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?

@albomp.bsky.social WTF ALBO TAX GAS!

Greg Jericho@grogsgamut.bsky.social

The Great Gas Giveaway just hit $78billon. And look, tbf, the gas companies are doing it tough. The government choosing to not do a 25% tax on gas exports is only fair - not like there are any needs currently being unmet... health, education, care, poverty, disability... live.thepoint.com.au

Mehreen Faruqi is a truthteller. But the Australian political and media establishment can not handle the truth on Israel and Palestine. So they will continue to label her as "radical", "extremist", or whatever works to defend the genocide-enabling status quo. #auspol

Mehreen Faruqi fights on in the Senate to suspend standing orders, calling on the govt to stop siding with Netanyahu & “sadistic con artist” Trump on the genocide in Gaza, to expel the Israeli Ambassador & stop the arms trade with Israel. #auspol

“Christian” pastors cheering on public executions when the whole Christian faith is based on the abhorrence of the gruesomeness of a public execution shows how far Christian Nationalism is off the rails.

There is actually NO corellation in federal elections between career average netsat and win or loss. Indeed the PM with the highest figure on that metric lost heavily and two of the other three losers were net +5 or better.

the ABC has accused the Greens of becoming “populist” and shifting to the right to chase the PHON vote. I read probably half or more of that article and they didn’t provide ANY justification for that claim. Media is out with knives, even Aunty.

Google is updating its satellite images of Gaza. The comprehensiveness of effort required to reduce an urban landscape to this is beyond imagining. Literal carpet bombing.

#4Corners #ABCNewsBreakfast While we make a big drama on the Chinese electric cars spying on us.... Let's also note the Ford, Tesla, Toyota, Mazda, Kia and Hyundai connected brands. I think I am equally concerned about the Ford and Tesla origins along with the Chinese brands.

Nick McKim has torched Matt Canavan & Angus Taylor for their misogyny, ‘fueling the toxic manosphere”, ‘blaming women’ & making claims of ‘femisation of schools’ “What does that even mean?” “Real men don’t blame women when life gets tough.”💥💯
