Hell, yes!

Notice how he says COVID and not covid vaccines...

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong warns that COVID may suppress P53—the “guardian” gene that protects against cancer.

Elephants have 8 copies of it; Humans only 1.

The obsessive focus by political media on coalition policy deliberations … maybe talk about something that has a real world impact? This constant propping of a two-party formula just because it suits your notion of horse race politics is beyond dull.
Think.
Talk issues not numbers.
Do better.

Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC

Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers.

It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.

That cat’s expression is purrfect 😂😂

Um.

I can’t believe that the US voted to make healthcare even less affordable.

I just…

I don’t get it.

Really appreciate your posts Denis but Tern should also be posting here - there are many Covid conscious people on Bluesky and at this stage at least it is generally civil!

I'm sure it's just a coincidence...

Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

We all value ‘the rule of law’.

But whose law & rules? Corporations/Rich v Masses.

The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few.

A few crumbs are thrown to pacify the masses but these are concessions and can be withdrawn.

See the linked article.

I’m on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country - the level of incompetence coupled with lack of understanding and denial are truly astounding 😳

COVID is not a seasonal virus. It circulates all-year-round.

I miss the person who I was 30 seconds ago before I read this comment.

Screenshot of nine.com.au website banner underneath which is a photo of Danielle Spencer with her ex-hubby, and the byline 'Russell Crowe's ex-wife's update after health scare'

Imagine being a successful singer, songwriter and actor like Danielle Spencer and not only being reduced by Nine news to 'Russell Crowe's ex-wife' but also your life-threatening splenic aneurysm surgery reduced to a mere 'health scare'. And we wonder why women feel dismissed. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Powerless: The hidden crisis of prepaid energy and First Nations communities In Western Australia's remote north, tens of thousands of people are living in fear of sudden disconnection and being forced to ration power.

This is disgusting. Why can't Australia's government add batteries and panels and provide power to these relatively few homes in remote areas like this? We're a rich nation.

The article headline says: “How Do You Avoid Getting Sick on a Plane? Team USA’s Doctor Has Answers.” The image beneath shows U.S. Winter Olympic athletes climbing a mobile staircase to board a Delta airplane. They are wearing backpacks and winter gear, and the plane’s fuselage fills the background. The lighting suggests early morning or late afternoon. The mood is focused and purposeful as the team prepares to travel.

Interesting how the U.S. Olympic Team doctor thinks where you sit, what you wipe down, and how you angle the air nozzle to avoid getting sick on flights is somehow better than wearing a well-fitted N95 mask. 😷

Which is why we're going to use police powers to stop a person’s welfare payment before any court process. Just like Jesus would have wanted.

An important report by Australia’s science Academy.

Former lifelong Labor voter here…. I hear you 😔 so disappointed… we need them to be like @davidpocock.bsky.social who has ethics and principles in spades!

As a progressive Labor voter, who supports "Labor values", I'm utterly disgusted by both the Albanese Labor Govt at a federal level and the Minns Labor Govt in NSW. On so many important issues, they seem to be clones of the Liberals. Voting Greens and Independents from now on. 😠 #auspol #nswpol

Aged care providers shouldn’t be balancing their books off the back of vulnerable older Australian’s who are stretching every dollar to remain at home safe and independent. The Government must ensure older Australians get the care they pay for. #auspol #politas

Who supports the Albanese Govt's new environment laws?
• Chevron
• BHP
• the Minerals Council of Australia
• the Business Council of Australia

Who doesn't support the new laws?
• Australian Conservation Foundation
• Greenpeace
• the Climate Council
• the Wilderness Society and more. 🤔 #auspol

Listening to ABC Radio National today. Sabra Lane just interviewed Liberal Leader Sussan Ley. After 7.30am, Sally Sara will interview Liberal Senator James Paterson. *sigh* Could they perhaps interview ministers in the current sitting Govt? #auspol 📻

As an older law student and ballet dancer this is doubly wonderful 😍

PS he's 78. Got his scholarship to Oxford a few years back in open competition against >50 other applicants. Recruited ballet dancers from around the world. Wrote a thesis that's going to improve how clinicians care for injured dancers. A privilege to work in a job where I meet people this good.

Jeremy looking great!

Congratulations to Snow Scholar Jeremy Leslie-Spinks passed DPhil ‘Damaged Dancers’. Thanks to examiners Sue Ziebland and Moira McCormack. Over to the Royal Oak!
