Until this morning, Mary E. Brunkow, winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine #Nobelprize , had no wikipedia page.

She now has one, thanks to the contributors. 👍☺️👏

The NPC has absolutely shamed itself.

'We've improved signage': council chief stresses free parking amid app backlash Rural city boss points to measures to help those alienated by shift.

Wangaratta Council introduced pay-by-phone-only paid parking without consulting the community. Backlash has been fierce www.bordermail.com.au/story/908230...

The NIH ordered me to stop my ‘dangerous’ gain-of-function research. It isn’t dangerous at all Safe gain-of-function research is necessary to identify new treatments for diseases like for tuberculosis — but the NIH has imposed unfounded stops.

This is a great op-ed by Dr. Stanley about the effects of anti-science politicized attacks on "gain-of-function" research. Much of this research poses little risk and has huge benefits for people across the globe. If your research has been affected, please consider writing an op-ed like Dr. Stanley.

We are now getting very close to him committing Treason. Saying that you are going to end rule of law in America if a judge does not rule your way is a threat against the U.S. as serious as any foreign incursion—and indeed would be considerably more ruinous to the nation he swore an oath to protect.

The National League for Nursing is discontinuing the use of Proctorio on October 31st. Perhaps they don't like doing business with litigious bullies.

U-Haul and Budget vehicles are being used by ICE to carry out raids in Chicago.

Transporting both people and firearms is a direct violation of their rental terms.

Are they okay with their vehicles being used this way?

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

It has been 1,860 days since Proctorio sued me. Every day is felt.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Hedges Report: NPC Australia caves to Israel Lobby, cancels talk on our betrayal of Palestinian journalists The National Press Club of Australia cancelled my talk on how the media, by amplifying Israeli lies, have betrayed Palestinian journalists, 278 of whom have been assassinated by Israel.

Australia’s National Press Club is spineless johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

If you say Dems should negotiate with Trump, please confirm you've read the pre-shutdown Trump EO that authorizes you and yours to be probed as terrorists if you commit any thought-crime listed on the right-hand side of this Ken Klippenstein report excerpt.

*That* is who you want to negotiate with.

“It’s unclear why the ATO would have targeted a debt allegedly accrued in 2006, given these were the sorts of debts suspended in the 2023 initiative that were widely criticised, including by the tax ombudsman”

“Like the suspended program, the new initiative has targeted amounts linked to old business activity statements, GST payments and PAYG instalments”

“Amid a public backlash, the 2023 scheme was suspended for debts put on hold prior to 2017, and is awaiting a legislative fix after the Labor government proposed putting those old debts permanently on ice”

I’m not sure if you could film something like this undercover in Australia anymore without getting sued into the next century

Court rules police strip search power abused on 'industrial level' - Law Society Journal The NSW Supreme Court has delivered a landmark judgment that ultimately invalidates the systemic strip search practices of NSW Police at music festivals.

I am gonna be extremely relieved when the Robodebt tv series finishes and all the crazy associated with it stops. The fixated weirdo. The person trying to squeeze a career out of pretending they did more than they did. The forever partisan drips. And all the rest

How robo-debt turned this prize-winning author into a ‘vengeful god’ Rick Morton has won a Prime Minister’s Literary Award for his non-fiction book Mean Streak. He’d trade it all for justice for the victims.

I also really enjoy this headline www.smh.com.au/culture/book...

For many years on X there was this fixated individual who posted conspiracy theories about me. Anyway I just realised they’re now purposefully publicly training Grok on those utterly whack job theories

According to leaked documents reported by Ben Abbatangelo earlier this year, the Australian Government Solicitor advised cabinet in 2015 that there was a medium to high risk that the CDP breached the Racism Discrimination Act.

I expect a payout in this class action is highly likely.

Ehsan Dehghan wrote his phD thesis on how antagonistic communities reposted each other during the Twitter campaign against Robodebt: the left and right formed a star-shaped network, working together to fight Robodebt. See page 197 eprints.qut.edu.au/174604/1/Ehs...

It’s not just that the CDP was in and of itself unlawful. In a 3 month period the scheme issued 55k penalty notices “to 35,000 people, the vast majority of whom are Aboriginal” www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03...
