I'm never touching Tasmanian salmon again. Great to see that @australiainstitute.org.au is escalating this to the UN, via an urgent appeal to UNESCO and the World Heritage Committee, asking them to send an investigative mission to assess the damage caused by Tasmanian salmon farms.

💀🏆 New record: over 124 journalists were killed in 18 countries last year, with Israel responsible for ~70% of those, making 2024 the deadliest year for reporters & media workers since the Committee to Protect Journalists commenced record-keeping more than three decades ago.

This is not a novel observation, but I'm just struck by it again: the administration of "merit, not DEI" has put a series of white male teenagers in charge of many federal agencies with resumes that consist entirely of internships at the Heritage Foundation or SpaceX or wherever.

Art is supposed to be divisive. Creative Australia's decision to cancel an artist's life changing opportunity because people who never support the arts anyway might complain because of his early works is pathetic. This was an incredibly cowardly decision by the Creative Australia board.

A foreign-born billionaire who gave Trump's campaign $288 million is now seizing control of democratic institutions—not through force, but through systematic dismantling. Will Americans surrender their constitutional freedom to an unelected corporate dictator? www.theframelab.org/the-betrayal...

Can’t help but notice that the media seems more interested in antisemitic graffiti (because Dutton focuses on that), than they’re interested in literal Nazis parading the streets (because Dutton ignores that). Can’t help but notice Dutton sets the Australian media agenda.

I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with. The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth. Why? #LatouffvABC

All this because @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social posted **NEWS** about what Human Rights Watch was saying. The ABC board and management involved in this are contemptible and deserve to no longer have any role with the ABC. Go be paid by news.corp. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

🇦🇺 If Australians don’t think it could happen here, look: it’s already happening. Here’s Actual Voldemort Peter Dutton, on an obscure manosphere podcast, parroting Trumpist propaganda, and being amplified by the corrupt Murdoch media.
News headline: Peter Dutton warns men have had enough of diversity hires.

Do you, too, have a nasty case of Hollywood Brain Rot? No Authoritarian Daddy can messianically save us now. WE are the heroes we’ve been waiting for. Unless Pedro Pascal is going to fly in on Falkor, we are going to have to save our own asses from both climate change AND authoritarian oligarchs.

Great reporting from Australia’s ABC storylab on a horrifically abusive former “mental asylum” in Queensland. Its prisoners were women with postnatal depression, epilepsy, alcohol addiction, mental illnesses, or who were simply unhoused. A chilling reminder: compassionate understanding is crucial.
