The attitude that you can leave space junk orbiting the Earth or that you can simply dump it really anywhere you want, needs to stop

Look at the environment - it's an attitude that is so pervasive globally, even on remote mountain tops you can find discarded human junk

We do the same thing with oil and gas wells. Itโ€™s pathological

A character in a tv show Iโ€™m watching had her alarm set for 6:59 and I canโ€™t wrap my head around it. Is this normal behaviour?

Invasion Day 'explosive' device hidden inside Disney Frozen sock, witness says A homemade "fragment bomb" thrown into a crowd at a Perth Invasion Day rally yesterday was hidden in a child's sock with a Disney character on it, a woman who picked it up tells the ABC.

This and One Nation and anti-immigration rallies are all one thing and it needs to be taken seriously; not normalized

26% of people polled thought Pauline Hanson would make a better PM because PH is normalised by various media outlets and given a platform. Her views aren't cogent or realistic policy, and her party is only marginally less dysfunctional than UAP. To be PM you need a party that can govern.

Outback Australian voices tell 'real story' of historic project's violent past Aboriginal filmmaker Kieran Satour's documentary tells of murders and massacres by settlers and First Nations people during construction of the Overland Telegraph Line.

I met Kieran several years ago - lovely fellow. Can't wait to watch this when it's released next week

Intense heat could smash temperature records in south-east Australia with catastrophic fire danger forecast High to extreme fire danger expected across several states as inland parts of SA, Victoria, NSW and Queensland may have more than five days above 40C

This is how you illustrate an article about extreme heat. None of this 'day at the beach' bullshit

When you lose the support of the NRA, as a conservative politician in the US, you're basically done.

Heatwaves in Australia and ice storms in the US are two ends of the same wildly oscillating weather resulting from climate change. Our climate is bifurcating and could go either way in the end.

Iโ€™m willing to forgive a lot, Dave, but if you really are the reason beerโ€™s more expensive? Then you and I have a problem.
