If @mattbevan.bsky.social wants to know why Dr. Gaub is promoting his podcast on Insta, tell him it was me. I told her to listen to this episode 🤣

The talent pool of the Australian Greens for foreign relations and national security is VERY shallow. What a disappointment. They should take some private lessons from the 🇩🇪 Greens. They got high calibres like @agnieszka-brugger.de or @hofreiter.bsky.social #auspol

Apple has chartered three full air freight flights to bring the new iPhone due to Australia. They sell for $3500 to $5900 🤯 The other iPhone 18s will take up something like 20 planes worth lower deck cargo - just for the launch. #supplychain #logistics

Within the next four weeks the 365-day average global mean surface temperature anomaly (vs preindustrial 1850–1900) will cross +1.5°C. You'll need to ask Prof. Eliot Jacobson @climatecasino.net about the probability of it dropping below ever again.

#FunFact On Wednesday the Daily Sea Surface Temperature (SST 60°S–60°N) reached 21.2°C. If you want to find a day (!) with a higher value in the past, you have to go back to the Last Interglacial / Eemian Period about 125,000 years ago. #climatechange #thefuckingplanetisonfire

NATO forces are already training forward deployments with the ADF in our backyard. We had 🇩🇪 Typhoon over Uluru and Fallschirmjäger in Shoalwater Bay for years. Btw. 🇸🇪 is also a NATO country. NATO isn’t just the US.

• "Deutschland hat keinen Platz" - siehe unten • Der pro-Kopf Stromverbrauch in AU ist ca. 2x so hoch wie in DE. Ist wohl eher andersrum mit stromintensiven Industrien! • DE ist an ein internationales Stromnetz angeschlossen - das macht den Ausbau erneuerbaren einfacher. Tja.

In Australien sind seit 1.7.2025 ca. 400000 Heimspeicher mit einer Leistung von 2 GW und einer Kapazität von 11,2 GWh installiert worden. Im Graph unten sind nur Großspeicher drin - die Heimspeicher kommen dann noch hinzu. 👉 Hier werden noch die Kohlekraftwerke rausgedrückt und dann war's das.

Underwater imagery of Integrity’s heat shield taken just after splashdown by a US Navy diver. Looks much better than Artemis I. #Artemis #moonjoy
Shortly after Artemis II splashdown on Friday, April 10, 2026, U.S. Navy divers captured underwater imagery of the Orion spacecraft’s heat shield.

The future looks like Christina Koch! ✨ So glad my daughter has role models who prove "reaching for the stars" is a real career path. Artemis isn't just about science; it shows kids that kindness and compassion are vital for leadership. 🚀 Counting down to Artemis III! 🌕👩‍🚀
NASA astronaut Christina Koch sits in an U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of the San Antonio Class amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) after returning from space on Apr. 10, 2026. John P. Murtha is underway in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations supporting NASA’s Artemis II mission, retrieving the crew and spacecraft following their return to Earth and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts on a flight around the moon in the Orion space craft, marking the first time humans journeyed to deep space in over 50 years.
