It's kind of like trying to give up smoking but if we were still living in the time when doctors were prescribing cigarettes to pregnant mothers and you needed cigarettes to chat to your racist uncle.

Aurora moments, captured last night from The Horn at Mount Buffalo, on Taungurung country.
She was a big one! Often easily visible to the naked-eye. It was all so magical.

Time to end AUKUS, remove US bases and chart an independent, principled and safe defence and foreign policy for Australia. Cringing in fear under the tattered US umbrella while it’s being used to beat up US allies is no longer a credible plan.

Shared with great respect to Randa Abdel-Fattah who has been through so much the past week, including being potentially defamed by the SA Premier.
May our cultural and arts institutions develop an ounce of the courage shown by writers like Abdel-Fattah.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

The last bastion of the true intent of the internet.
Twenty-five years ago, Wikipedia was an unlikely idea: a place where anyone could share free knowledge.
Today, it’s one of the most visited sites on Earth, not powered by corporate ads, but by people.

Seeing this interview is such a stark reminder that the signs of the medias collapse around authoritarianism was apparent even in 2018.
The fact Waleed Aly is basically a right wing shill at this stage is an indictment on the obvious trajectory of the media from then to now.
