On the banks of Birrarung History all at once, the signing of the Treaty.

I was fortunate enough to bear witness to the signing of Victoria’s Treaty. This is what I saw and felt. www.thespencerstreetend.com.au/publish/post...

Thank you for this

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

LFG

If you have managed to ascribe 'legitimate concerns' to people who will march with nazis and think we have too many Indians nowadays, but offered no such extension to people seeking a little less genocide, congratulations you are officially a fucking disgrace

Deloitte report suspected of AI invented quote from robo-debt case Academics have rejected the consultancy’s explanation of previous mistakes, as the discovery adds to suspicions about the use of artificial intelligence.

Guy who “doesn’t care about women’s sport” weirdly unable to just shut the fuck up about it

He dedicates two hours every day to condescendingly replying to random fans of women's sport from an account with a ute profile picture. chaser.com.au/general-news...

It’s hard not to see it as part of the system of managing things away. Nod soberly until it’s gone. Again.

Entire Aus media in a lather about mushroom woman - a verdict that is no one’s business beyond victims’ families. Meanwhile, Yuendumu coroner’s findings, 600 pages of vital commentary on policing and race, pass almost unnoticed.

What happens to men who have caused harm to women? Dyson Heydon was found to have sexually harassed six young female associates. So why is he being publicly rehabilitated?

On accountability & complicity, from Chanel Contos, showing more nuance & integrity than, say, judicial figures fawning over a questionable colleague.

Agreed. The Ron and Leslie fallout feels forced.

Study begun pre-COVID finds remote work increased sleep by 1/2 hr/night, decreased commute by 4.5 hr/week replaced with work, family & leisure and led to healthier eating. Remote and hybrid employees report higher job satisfaction and well-being. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

In Gaza, hungry babies don't have the energy to cry anymore As the total ban on any humanitarian aid entering Gaza stretches into its third month, doctors warn babies are starving in hospitals.

And the world does nothing 🤬

For many centrists politics is the ‘art of compromise’. This leads to the idea that middle ground solutions can usually appease all but the most radical of opposing viewpoints. No. It just means that somethings are negotiable & some are not. You can’t walk a neutral path through a killing field.

Australians want nature protected. These 3 environmental problems should be top of the next government’s to-do list Three experts consider what’s required to protect and conserve Australia’s natural wonders, from fighting invaders to stopping habitat loss and saving species.

Ok, @albomp.bsky.social, there's never been a better time to do what's long overdue and you have a very supportive senate now. Please just get this done, every day of delay sees further harm that we all suffer the consequences of.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Murphy: "It's not designed as economic policy. It's designed as political policy. Because Trump gets really excited when people have to come to him, petition the king for relief. That's what he's doing with law firms, doing with universities. That may be what he's doing with businesses."
