In the end we managed to save a good few dogs but what a tough day!

A longer watch but this is the reality of what we see on a daily basis. Grab a coffee or beer and enjoy the weekend watch ๐Ÿฅฐ

Important piece by Thomas Mayo (if you can get past the paywall). I feel culpable in this myself. This begs the question of the Royal Commission being called into one kind of racism alone, while we blithely walk by another so common as to be almost banal. themonthly-admin/march-2026/n...

Holy fkn shizballs!!!! Thank you to everyone who has embraced this. Youโ€™re incredible - and also - not alone. Itโ€™s a mess, no one has fixed what he helped break and if anything comes from this, itโ€™s a reminder of what we need to do to fix this

Last days of the Liberal Party

This should make your blood boil.

But coming from a small country town, it is not at all surprising.

CSIRO funding falling short by โ€˜at leastโ€™ $1 billion Internal correspondence andย Senate submissions showย the CSIRO is running out of money and may lose itsย position as a leading research agency.

Australiaโ€™s national science agency needs โ€œat leastโ€ another $1 billion in funding over the next decade to arrest an existential slide propelled by crumbling facilities and the โ€œsovereign riskโ€ of losing its position as a national and international leader in research. satpa.pe/Hi78U0y

How about Muslim Ahmed Al Ahmed the Bondi Beach Hero, who wrestled the Gun from the Shooter (& got shot 5 times because of it)

How about the Two Muslims, who chased & distracted the Bondi Plaza Knifer (one who lost his life, doing so)
