@TrainLinkNorth 4 cat train to Newcastle. Standing room only for a three hour trip. Why not 8 cars?

#CentralCoastNewcastleLine Allow extra travel time due to infrastructure repairs btwn Strathfield & Rhodes. Services heading towards Central will end at HORNSBY and services heading towards Newcastle will start from EPPING. You may need to change services to continue your trip.

@meijer Shame

@michaelkoziol Yes! Exactly !

Once again the NYT fails us

Gambling is a grubby business. It’s not ‘entertainment’, but an exploitative industry promoting addictive products that cause harm on an epic scale. Australia is the epicentre of gambling harm because of the failure of politicians to regulate proportionately and courageously.

Dear brothers and sisters, let us unite our hearts and efforts, so that the seas and deserts may become not cemeteries but places where God can open paths to freedom and fraternity. vatican.va/content/france…

@UnitedWorkersOz @unionsaustralia Woo hoo Teresa!

“Climate change is already affecting my ability to work - hotter summers and clients who are unable to afford to run air conditioning. The NZEA Bill provides us all an opportunity to have a say in how we move forward as a country, to have a future.” - Teresa, UWU member #auspol

DNC in Chicago | Harris-Walz in Milwaukee Epic Split Screen of two packed arenas I've never seen anything like this in politics. So much energy, so much joy, so much fun. I don't know how Democrats pulled it off. #DemocraticConvention #DNCConvention2024 #DNC2024 #HarrisWalz2024 #HarrisWalz #DNC2024CHICAGO #FiservForum #milwaukee #chigago

@jamesNESW @newscientist Another day another awful and fact to add to our hopeless burdens.

Warming temps are driving a rise in methane emissions from difficult-to-control natural sources like wetlands. That means targets to cut methane from human sources like fossil fuels and livestock may have to be even steeper to have the same effect. newscientist.com/article/244272…

Politics is downstream from culture. If we believe WE will be the ones who survive climate change no doubt that belief changes how we prioritise action to avoid the literal end of the world (as we know it). /4

Consider how this perspective changes how we might think about gun ownership if we absorb this fantasy. Or how it might impact narratives about migrants; scarcity! Dangerous neighbours! Overpopulation! /3

At the heart of the Walking Dead is a dangerous fantasy; that in the face of global disaster, the heroes are the individuals who live. Hollywood fantasies edify tales of individual survival of self-induced apocalypse rather than tales of its collective prevention. 🧵/1

If we resisted the urge to get offended by this, we might look a bit closer and be reminded that *everyone* has a seat at Jesus’ Table.

I pray Harris does not repeat the Obama-era Dem deployment of pop culture to lure in young voters It is REPELLENT to today’s irony-pilled youth No rallies with Beyoncé or Gaga. No celeb cameo Acapela songs. IGNORE the Brat stuff. Just campaign & let memes percolate organically

The debate was a travesty—because its whole premise was to treat a failed coup leader as a legitimate candidate for the presidency again, @DavidFrum writes. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
