A galah dropping in for a late afternoon drink at Lake Hattah.

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None.

This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Physics Nobel announcement tomorrow.

If you know and dislike a famous physicist, this is the day of the year to call them up in the middle of the night, wait 10 seconds, and then do you best Swedish Chef impression...

If you mean US Military Industrial Complex, then I'd argue that you're spot- on!

New paper -- looking at "wild oscillons"; these are stationary solutions to the wave equation which describes the contents of the universe in many theories of the first trillionth of a second after the Big Bang

🧪🔭

Wild Oscillons The properties of interactions between "wild" oscillons in the early universe.

We set up simulations where they collide -- which can be followed by both bounces and mergers -- studying realistic interactions between cosmological oscillons for the first time. For a bit more detail see.... cosmology.auckland.ac.nz/2025/10/03/w...

What's wrong with "I have a dress with pockets" as a response? Dresses with pockets are cool!

I think that boat sailed nine years ago. They didn't win the last election; they didn't honour the previous one, and they were assisted by the Russians to "win" one the one before that.

You can't be "brave" when there is no threat to you.

NOW...is the opportunity for Americans to demonstrate courage/bravery. Are there risks for the average American...now? Absolutely. But....that's how bravery has always been demonstrated throughout history. It's the only realm where it can be.

I am terrified too, Milbo. We have a weak, supplicant PM in @albomp.bsky.social doing everything he can to ingratiate himself and us with the fascist genocidal leaders of Isreal and the US.

2025 Walkley Book Award longlist finalists announced - The Walkley Foundation The Walkley Foundation is delighted to announce the finalists for the 69th annual Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism.

It's almost uncouth at this point, but the Walkley Book Award longlist has been announced and Mean Streak is on there with seven other incredible titles. Pity the judges whittling that down to a shortlist of three. www.walkleys.com/2025-walkley...

The latest #GlobalSumudFlotilla data:
• 21 vessels confirmed intercepted

A screenshot of an X post by @BBPRTV_1d featuring a humorous image of a person in a blonde wig and black outfit with a chain necklace, posing with arms behind their head. The post is from "Bad Bunny HQ" with the caption "your VP btw." Below it, a reply from @DogRightGirl_1d reads, "Apparently this is 'Bad Bunny'. The @NFL has selected him to be the SuperBowl halftime performer..." and includes two images of a person in a similar outfit.

There’s always an old pic that’s worth 1000 words.

Last night in one of the most sociopathic speeches I have ever witnessed the US Secretary of War outlined his military vision- a mix of lawlessness, vindictiveness, bullying, cruelty and bigotry.

@albomp.bsky.social you MUST address this with nation and explain why they deserve to be our partner.

Intwepid...

Ssshhhh, we're hunting wabbits.

Single frame. Albo in a bathtub marked HMAS ROYAL SUBJECT in bathroom, with UK and Australian flags. White towel tied to a rod as a “sail”. Albo looking through telescope the wrong way, shouts “STEADY AS SHE GOES!”

Intrepid.

Federal government agreed to weaken proposed protections for rock art from Woodside’s North West Shelf project Document outlines negotiations over contentious extension of gas giant’s development after conditional approval in May

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Minister acknowledged decision not to require immediate cuts in acidic pollution meant there was a higher likelihood of rock art being affected “in the short-term”, but any impact “would be small and therefore outweighed by the social or economic factors”.

The highlight of Anthony Albanese's trip to the UN was spruiking Australia's teen social media ban.

You'd be forgiven for thinking it was already a smash hit. But not only has it not come into effect, there are some basic parts of the ban that remain a complete mystery

Go Nick McKim!

How hard is it to figure out?
Don't deal with fascists.
Don't deal with pathological liars.
Don't deal with a man known to go back on every deal he makes.
Don't deal with men who rape children.
Don't give in to bullies.
And, sucking up to Trump is electoral poison.
How hard is that, Albo?

No wonder Tony Blair wants Digital IDs. His son is the owner of the company that’ll be paid £100 billion to develop and monitor them.

And Tony has £375 million worth of shares in the company already.

I agree! Albanese had sold his soul to Trump and the genocidal Zionists and sold Australia out in the process.

The fact that just weeks out, the Government was secretly trying to cancel the 2024 Land Forces weapons expo while publicly insisting that it was good for our economy - shows us our collective power and proves that we are the reason that Land Forces 2026 won't happen in Victoria.

Protest works.
