Hearing a lot of 'let's hire all these American researchers!' talk, and it's a lovely thought, but: where do you think the people who couldn't get jobs *here* were trying to go? In HASS at least the US was the last anglophone country that still had anything like a functioning academic job market.

Twitter is now 75% bot activity. The dead internet theory aint a theory anymore.

ABC statement on journalists in Gaza - About the ABC The ABC is the only Australian media organisation with a permanent presence in the region and we have repeatedly tried to get reporters back into Gaza

"The ABC calls on Israel to again allow international journalists to report independently from Gaza, to allow all journalists to move in and out of Gaza and to ensure journalists in Gaza are safe."

well. at least there's new worms

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

Kudos to the Wapo for producing this horrifying account: every death in Gaza since 7 Oct 2023.

The fact that I get dressed in proper work clothes during my third trimester is frankly incredible.

The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia. It's the the first-ever planned migration of an entire country.

Tumblr normal-horoscopes Everyone shut up and look at this carving of a whale from the 1200-600 CE Chumash culture The whale looks delightfully round and seems to be smiling.

The reality in Gaza shows Israel is at risk of becoming a global pariah The reality of the situation on the ground in Gaza, and the spectre of children dying of malnutrition or starvation, sits at such extraordinary odds with the language of spokespeople for both the Neta...

“Israel's parliament — the Knesset — this week voted 71-13 in favour of annexing the occupied West Bank.

It was a symbolic, non-binding vote but one that gives a window into the mindset within Israel that is feeding the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

How a new generation is invigorating classical music Classical music sometimes has a reputation for being 'pale, male and stale.' A new generation of musicians is broadening our understanding of what classical music can be.
