Your periodic reminder that in times of geopolitical instability - domestic, international, or both - an important element of building and maintaining both individual and societal resilience is to stay as healthy as possible. Protect your body and your brain: wear a respirator.

I have a question for @tonyburkemp.bsky.social.
Have any of the Australian women currently trapped in Syria been accused of sniping kids in the head for sport, raping hostages to death, or firing 335 bullets into a car to murder a 6yo girl who'd survived the original attack?
Please advise.
I have a great idea.

As we stood in the elevator,
my colleague looked up
from his screen and asked:
“do you ever think
there’s something wrong
with the world?”
and though I wondered
which of the very many
somethings wrong
with the world
he might be referring to,
instead, I simply replied:
“yes.”

Putting Mandelson to one side, so much of what Jonathan Pie says about UK Labour applies equally to @australianlabor.bsky.social.

Sadly amusing that it took Haaretz to pick up on this line by Albanese

Haaretz Israeli Court Denies 5-year-old Palestinian Cancer Patient Life-saving Treatment Because of Gaza Address The judge ruled that the fact that the boy currently resides in Ramallah is immaterial, since the government's policy to bar all Palestinians registered in Gaza from receiving medical care in Israel 'draws its validity from security and political considerations' Chen Maanit 05:48 PM • February 09 2026 IST
Fuck Israel and fuck everyone who defends it. Right now the president of this apartheid monstrosity is sitting down with Australia’s prime minister for a cozy dinner - fuck him, too.

A Prime Minister with a tin ear and a cautious bureaucratic mind: “Anthony Albanese has been ‘devastated’ by the scenes from last night’s protest, but continues to back inviting Israeli president Isaac Herzog”.
He has to go.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

“Lamestream understands that journalists in the Canberra press gallery have been briefed on the visit but asked not to report on it.”
Incredible.
I hear my friends
expressing outrage
that a billionaire was asked:
“how do we get rid
of poor people
as a whole,”
and at the same time
I hear my friends
calmly explain
that it’s too much bother
to wear a mask anymore,
and so I fear my friends
are doing their part
of that “how.”

Nice! My original Tempest has been running 24/7 since I bought it and it hasn’t missed a beat. And yes I did stop it to change the filters. So quiet 😊

You may have heard
that the astronauts
preparing to go to space
wear N95 masks
to protect themselves,
which just goes to show
that protecting yourself
from transmissible viruses
isn’t rocket science.
As politicians stoke fear and hatred about immigrants, always remember this...

History does not repeat.
When you see the news
of a measles outbreak
at a family detention facility,
tell yourself:
history does not repeat.
You may recall learning
about outbreaks
at concentration camps,
but history does not repeat,
keep telling yourself
history does not repeat.

"Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

At this point
you need no longer
greet anyone with
“happy new year,”
for at this point
the year is not new
and it is not
