Today marks 20 years since Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow. She recognized Putin's true nature earlier than most—and the regime could never erase the truth she died to tell.

To every Australian banging on this morning on talkback radio about wanting ZERO migration, I concede. You can have it. As long as you are ok with the high chance of ZERO emergency medical care when you’re sick. ZERO aged care when you’re old. ZERO fresh food when you’re hungry.

I read this poem once, and it rang through me and my atoms and every previous form they have taken to such a degree it’s one of the pieces of literature that formed a core part of me. Every person belongs. How we consider and treat people (and vote and organise) is a bell we ALSO ring for ourselves

No MAN IS
AN ISLAND
No man is an island, Entire of itself,
Every man is a picce of the continent, A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind, And therefore never send to know fo: whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
Jobn Donne

📝 My paper on generalized additive models (GAMs) in animal science is out! Learn nonlinear relationships from data, estimate growth rates and compare treatments, with cows, pigs and quail + reproducible #RStats code. Open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.an... #mgcv #AnimalScience #Statistics 🧪

Eight panels show body mass over 78 days for 57 Japanese quail. Columns represent control, T4, T3 and combined T3–T4 hormone treatments; rows separate females and males. Coloured points are measurements, lines are individual growth curves fitted by a hierarchical generalized additive model, and shading shows 95% credible intervals. Growth slows towards a plateau, with females generally reaching higher body masses than males.

Eighteen panels show individual pig growth curves. Black points mark daily average weight estimates from a depth camera; blue lines show curves fitted by a hierarchical generalized additive model, with shaded 95% credible intervals. Weights generally increase over time, with differences in growth and measurement variability among pigs. Uncertainty widens where measurements are sparse or absent.

Four-panel comparison of models fitted to a cow’s average daily milk fat production. Observations rise to a peak around weeks 8–10, then decline. The first panel shows fitted curves and uncertainty bands for Wood’s model, a Tweedie GLM and a Tweedie GAM. Residual plots show curved patterns for Wood’s model and the GLM, but little remaining pattern for the GAM.

Data released just last week by the Australian Electoral Commission shows that in the lead up to the Queensland state election, Adani donated $600,000 to the LNP—far more than its previous donations and enough to make it the single largest donor to the LNP in that year by a considerable margin.

What did Adani get for the money it gave to the Queensland Liberal National Party?

If only we knew then what we know now. In August 2025, Queensland’s LNP Government announced it was abandoning a court case against Adani over unpaid coal royalties, a case that started in 2023 under ...
