A graph showing increasing defence spending over the decade from 2026-27. Rising from just over $60 billion to close to $120 billion.

The NDIS is far from perfect. But there's something particularly inhuman about the Labor Party pushing through changes that will see 160,000 people kicked off disability support in the same week they proudly announced an increase in military spending of $53 billion over 10 years.

My Dad is from Oatlands! His dad ran the Roxy Talkies movie theatre in town (now the IGA) and around the end of the 19th century or early 20th century I believe a Jones ran the Kentish Inn.

Am sitting in a pub in South Melbourne having a beer and writing some notes following a work meeting. In this section of the pub there are 15 men (16 including me) and 1 woman.

Hello! On the off chance... I research environmental activism and am looking for information on the first known tree-sit in Australia. Have searched through archives and can't find anything yet... do you think yours might have info???

As a consultant the more complex the process to set yourself up as a supplier the longer it will take you to get paid when you finally submit an invoice. What's the point of all that extra admin if it doesn't streamline processes? Almost like the only output of a complex admin process is more admin.

I dunno I think "were Harry Potter books good" is a completely irrelevant question to the moment. like, you don't need to avoid them because they're artistically bad, you need to avoid them because there are concrete, specific ways that interacting with them funds Nazi stuff

I'm particularly prone to it when I'm tired and stressed—at these times (and probably connected) my lateral thinking gets a lot worse so if someone doesn't express themselves clearly I'm really bad at working out what they mean.

This has definitely happened to me before! I remember it sometimes used to happen to me when I was a kid too, and when it happens as an adult it takes me right back to that feeling of being an embarrassed child.

Front cover of the Strategic Examination of Research & Development review report. Purple background with pink title text "Ambitious Australia". The graphics below the text are some curvy, bubble-like shapes with what seems to be a sunset viewed through some drops of liquid. That is, a distorted view of the horizon … a metaphor?

The Government released the final report of the Strategic Examination of R&D yesterday. It's called "Ambitious Australia"🙃

Haven't read much, yet, but it says we should fund the ARC more. Like every single previous review.

Can we got on with it & do that, now?

The builders working next door have the radio on. Just heard Feargal Sharkey's A Good Heart, which was the first record I bought with my own money. I picked it up on vinyl from Brashes in the days when the top ten was a column of 7" singles, and 40 years later I still have it.

I know, right? And it has to happen every day. Get the kids breakfast, pack school lunch, work out what we are having for lunch because we work from home, get the kids snacks, make a dinner plan, make dinner, and then you have to GET UP AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!

Ugh yes. Universities are a nightmare when you’re trying to get funds out of them.

This is what at respect for expertise and for audiences looks like.

One Nation candidate contesting Sussan Ley’s seat likened Julia Gillard to ‘non-productive old cow’ Pauline Hanson says ‘get over it’ and fully backs David Farley, her party’s candidate in Farrer byelection

No doubt this is a minor blip compared to what we will find as One Nation scrabbles around in the bottom of many barrels looking for candidates to try and cash in on current polling figures. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Just came across the term 'tradigital' and I immediately hate it with a fiery passion.

This! Stop batch labeling everything “AI” and start using the name of the actual tool. The AI hype cycle does nothing to help disambiguate the ramifying harmful effects of extractive technologies from everything else.

This isn't a sales pitch. Just a reminder to people who get chronic migraines that there are new treatments available. If in Aus there are criteria you need to meet to get them on the PBS, but for me it's been totally worth it. After 30 years of migraines, it's been absolutely life changing. (3/3)

Eletriptan helped relieve the pain during an attack, but I was taking a lot every month, they made me super drowsy, and I often got rebound migraines or other rebound headaches.

Then I tried a CGRP treatment (Ajovy) and I now haven't had a single significant migraine for more than 12 months. (2/3)

CGRP Medications - Emgality, Ajovy, Aimovig, Vyepti and others Looking for information about the new migraine drugs like Emgality and how to access them on the PBS or through access programs? Latest info here.

Hey fellow chronic migraine sufferers. If you haven't tried them yet, I recommend talking to your doctor about CGRP medications: www.migraine.org.au/cgrp.

From 18-48, I got a severe migraine that lasted about 48 hours every 2-6 weeks. I tried multiple preventers and none of them worked. (1/3)
