I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹
They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating.

Church organ tuning records mirror our warming climate
The records appear to reflect climate change, as well as the increased heating of churches in winter

After Bondi terror attack I directed my ASRC team to stop all our fundraising as it didn’t feel morally right as we grieved & mourned as a nation & out of respect for the Jewish Australian community. Tomorrow we need to restart it as our Xmas Appeal is now way behind & we’ve almost run out of time.

Howard has gone too far. His comments about Albanese tear us apart
Slagging off the man entrusted with trying to steer the nation through this powerfully difficult moment will not help John Howard’s side of politics.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

It's over five months since Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal made headlines for being one of the biggest funders of highly divisive, far-right political lobby group "Advance".
She has at all times refused to denounce Advance, its bigotry and racist hate.

Leavit’s orange skid mark down the nose is absolutely on my (rather short) highlights of 2025 list.
"Wiles — whose portrait in the piece is the most haunting of all (if it were a movie poster, you wouldn’t know if she was the killer or the victim) — apparently conducted 11 interviews for the profile, during which she was quite unbelievably candid."
