The incredible resilience of the Palestinian Christians

@SenatorWong Wow! I used to admire you but WTAF? Who attacked whom???

Australia condemns Iran's reckless attacks including against civilians and civilian infrastructure in the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Cyprus and Israel. I'm engaging with my counterparts in the region to express Australia’s solidarity & support.

Marshall Islands President Hilda C. Heine makes a state visit to Australia, the first by an RMI leader in more than three decades. RMI is looking south, at a time when the US has withdrawn its Ambassador from Majuro and the Trump administration abandons climate action. THREAD

If only Justin Langer were not commentating... #ashes

@PeterCronau @abcnews She’s a shocker!!

Deck chairs take a distinct lurch at @ABCnews. "The ABC has hired Latika Bourke as a co-host on its foreign affairs radio show and podcast, Global Roaming, which is set to move to a daily release schedule next year, up from its current weekly output. "Global Roaming is currently hosted by Hamish Macdonald and Geraldine Doogue, but the ABC was seeking to add an additional host as the show steps up its frequency in 2026." lamestream.com.au/latika-bourke-…

@cyberdisco721 @AhmedAAshour8 He’s a civilian. Do you have control of your country’s forces?

@AhmedAAshour8 Release the hostages. Or stop complaining

Two pictures of my life: Before the war, I was a lawyer in my elegant suit, with my fragrant cologne, surrounded by respect and tranquility… After the war, I became a displaced person, exhausted by the fatigue and hardship in Gaza, moving among rubble and destruction, between hunger and pain… Between the two pictures, my dreams were lost, my days burned away, my smile faded, and my future became as uncertain as a long night with no dawn. My memories alone whisper to me of what I once was, as if I had become someone else lost in the chaos of war

Auden:

This is Gaza in 1944. This is Gaza before Israel existed.

@KirstiMiller30 @WorldAthletics @MightyCaster Yes, they are prepared to completely abandon any athlete who does not fit within a narrow cis definition. It's the exclusive Olympics.

@WorldAthletics The long journey of athletes with a DSD, and the discriminatory rulings they face, should inspire us to consider the complexity of interpreting genetic tests and cherish our most treasured value in science: evidence. @MightyCaster

There is a massive problem with the @WorldAthletics sex testing. There is NO reliable diagnostic test to measure androgen sensitivity of muscles & no tests are performed on any athletes. This highlights the limitations of their proposed tests. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10…?

@ShannonGill13 @KylePollard It’s hard to imagine the rest of the list being possible if FOMM hadn’t happened.

@KylePollard They didn’t even have Friday on My Mind on the shortlist for most of the voting period, so there’s one that won’t be even though it is historically the number 1 best/most important song in aus music history 😐😐

We’re doing a very fast “haven’t heard it yet” list of songs we think should make it from 20 on and the list is getting packed. #hottest100ofaustraliansongs #Hottest100AustralianSongs

@CharliebBucket Formed in Melbourne, with 3 Aussies and a Kiwi

Crowded House 💜. Technically a kiwi band? #hottest100ofaustraliansongs

@samueljessecox @PalgraveLit @AustLit @AAPSPacific Though it's produced in Germany! Maybe the library there can get one?

@timeshighered Not a good sign. Now the consultants have completely taken over.

London South Bank University has opted for a non-academic vice-chancellor as its next leader, hiring Paul Kett from PwC timeshighereducation.com/news/london-so…

A brilliant, must-read piece on the racist "antiracism" guise at UniMelb/Melbourne Law School and how the institution actively protects racists like Descheemaeker and targets Indigenous peoples and anti-Zionist activists
