It is really, really, really stunning to me how the first part in particular has already become so incredibly noticeable.

In the climate space alone I am spending more of my precious remaining life hours convincing ppl that the output of a word generating program is not the default truth......

i’ve been trying to think of the real actual applications of generative ai in it’s current state and the two things i have so far is it makes everyone more dumb and also every more paranoid

“When streets became calmer & safer, more people felt comfortable trying a bike commute for the first time. Families began pedaling to the park…Local businesses saw new life…And cycling stopped feeling like a niche activity—it became part of everyday Parisian life.”

New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution

Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

The idea that migrants are an economic burden on Australia has been debunked, so why are we still seeing this rhetoric from our politicians? satpa.pe/MV5h4ZV

Everything that’s wrong with this immigration debate

As anti-immigration sentiment is politicised around the world, new arrivals to Australia are being portrayed as detrimental to the economy – when in fact the opposite is true.

After coming out, Mitch Brown became an unofficial spokesperson for queer issues in the AFL. While that experience has been overwhelmingly positive, it's also come with an onslaught of hate.

Pearls and Irritations @johnmenadue.com · 5d

When people from Yemen to Spain, from Morocco to Australia unite in their demand for justice, it shows something really powerful – governments may be more divided on this issue than the very citizens who fund and sustain them. That really matters. #auspol #activism #Palestineprotests

What are international protests revealing about Palestine, Israel and public opinion?

When I first saw the figures on international protests from October 2023 to September 2025, I was fascinated. I hadn’t realised which countries had been most active and the results surprised me.

Pt2🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "Global Samud Flotilla are not heroes. Our mistreatment by Israel is not the story. We need more than humanitarian aid to Gaza, we need to stop the decades-long siege. The violence of 'business as usual.' Genocides fueled by our own governments."

This! Paris is a model for the rest of us to follow. I’ll be writing an article soon about how Anne Hidalgo’s efforts there have been some of the best urban planning policies of the decade.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.

The Victorian premier, Jacinta Allan, held back-to-back press conferences on Sunday and Monday to announce the completion of Town Hall and State Library stations, joining Anzac, Arden and Parkville stations, which were handed over to Metro Trains in April.

Our mega rich are inflaming selves & their tools to make us hate each other. They depict anyone not in their chosen identity (“Christian” “White” rightwing) as a subversive, violent Other. That’s a path to bloodshed.
How are we going to limit the hate?
