The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) will restore the previous colour scheme on its rain radar and weather map.

It comes after the BOM's new $4.1 million website received a wave of backlash.

none of it from me

Elon Musk tweets: "Just saw this in a conference room at Tesla Global Engineering HQ in Palo Alto" The attached photo shows a dripping graffiti-style spray-painted text on a wall, which reads: The Future is Autonomous

kind of annoys me when people use the aesthetics of graffiti to show they're edgy and cool while also calling for more punitive laws, which punish the graffiti artists who give that aesthetic its cultural meaning

My new research is out #LongCovid. The critical role of patient advocacy-research in disease recognition

I look at the massive, painstaking process of knowledge building by the Covid patient community in the early pandemic, which led to recognition of LC as a multi-system disease entity

Won't that make the toast soggy?

That's a cool idea!

I never thought of that, so just smooshed on toast?

I love the Peter and Jane books.

Do you reckon avocado with some grated cheese would be nice as a meal?
I don't have much in the fridge or cupboard for tea tonight.
Maybe I could kind of melt the cheese in the MW, and then plonk it on top of the avocado? Yeah?

Sound UP! When a gang of young male Superb Lyrebirds surround you, often within less than a metre. I zoomed back to 80mm but often had to lean back to get this footage. I've left it largely unedited to capture the mayhem of the moment. #birds #birding #nature #lyrebirds

Trump opens pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling

First the The Rose Garden, then The East Wing...
Add Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to the list of beautiful things Trump is going to intentionally destroy.

ADF women launch class action alleging sexual misconduct Women who served in the Australian Defence Force have filed a new class action against the Commonwealth alleging widespread and systemic sexual harassment and assault.

David Shoebridge posted
".. too many stories of abuse and harassment from women in ADF.
There must be accountability, for years leadership has tried to sweep it under the rug, while survivors are left without support. This class action is a step towards justice."

If you go down to the forests today, you’re in for a big surprise (mass deforestation) Visit many areas of state forest in parts of Victoria and you might get a shock – the forest isn’t there.

Here's a COOKING TIP from me for Australians who want to thicken their stews and don't want to use flour or cornflour.
Use a big spoon of "FHC" by Red Tractor (Coles). It stands for Flax Hemp Chia and it's not whole seeds, but is ground into a meal.
It works really well!

Dr Oz says the US is “under babied”

Kennedy says declining birth rates are a national security threat

Neither will do a damn thing to control measles and infectious diseases that are disabling & killing kids

Neither will address gun violence which takes the lives of countless kids every year

‘Even mild cases of COVID-19 can lead to lasting changes in heart rate variability and autonomic function.’

Common cold, flu, Covid: Why is Britain so sick right now? Why coughs and colds seem to be taking hold currently - and what you can do to protect yourself.

Another article that fails to talk about COViD being predominantly airborne and just focuses on handwashing only. Also again, no mention of #PostInfectionRisk. This is not a normal situation to be failing to prevent airborne infections.

Huge rally for Free Palestine today - I think the biggest ever. South Australian’s want a just, lasting peace, Palestinian statehood and self-determination, hostages free, pursuit of war criminals and an end to any Australian public investment in armaments.

More Bad JuJu for kids and Cøvid.

Cardiovascular health is something we should explore. Dyslipidaemia and endothelial injury aren't isolated to adults!

Frogs? Can someone explain?

Look at the Israelis. They don't belong, &they know it. Their very genes testify to the fact that their ancestral land is in Europe.
No amount of killing will ever change that.
Their descendants will try, they'll appropriate things &try to make a culture, but it won't be native.

It's sad being the descendant of colonial settlers.
I feel colonialism creates 2 victims: the indigenous people, but also the colonial descendants who live divorced from their ancestral land, always knowing they are feral in their new land.
They get angry bc
they don't belong/2

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

I used to admire him, then he went a bit weird and full of himself.
Still, I hope he is okay.

This Anthropic settlement case…fellow authors, are any of you feeling rage? I have 12 books listed and money (I don’t CARE how many thousands, even millions) is NOT adequate compensation. What was stolen & used without my permission is priceless! Where is the option to scrub my work from AI?!
