I remember it well. Sad day. Back then I thought we would have fixed this by now, which is even sadder because we have doubled down on making it worse.

Absolutely!
JobKeeper was designed to reduce inequality. But some firms are using taxpayer money to pay massive executive bonuses. In 90 seconds, I listed the worst offenders https://t.co/zbWfA7eiD6

The negative reactions, false beliefs and “human rights” criers against wearing face masks in the community is astounding. I assume you accept the social construct of wearing clothing in public? It’s the same fucking thing. Just wear a mask. It’s not hard.
#BREAKING: People living in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire will now be required to wear face masks outside their home, to protect against coronavirus.

I was a founding member of the @climatecouncil & for some reason my regular donations fell away. BUT I have just rejoined as a member! Let’s support these guys putting pressure on government to TAKE ACTION
The recent bushfire season has shown us that we need to be bigger & better to front up to the climate crisis. At the Climate Council, we have a plan to #ReEnergiseAus – & it’s going to take all of us to make it happen. Become a Climate Council member today https://t.co/sPZFoQazQi

I want you to meet the Liberal-National Coalition members who were at uni while it was FREE. Instead of making corporations pay their tax and making uni and TAFE free for all, they're doubling the cost of humanities degrees. Thread 👇🏽

Is there a statue in the world of a person that by today’s standards did not carry out or believe in something we find abhorrent? Should we do a statue audit, throw them in the bin & just start again?

Crazy to think the giant tortoises alive today were born before WW2 but did nothing to stop it.

We should all think back to the kind of things we found funny 10, 20 or 30 years ago and save a lot of time by just cancelling ourselves.

“Forcing taxpayers to renovate other people’s homes to aid some tradie, who probably earns more than the average taxpayer, is economic and political stupidity”, says @Adam_Creighton in the @australian

America’s inability to accept and address systemic racism in its history, society and governance is its greatest weakness. One exploited from both outside and within to devastating effect. We look in horror from Australia but fail to understand it’s our greatest weakness, too.

Striking how some prominent women have said some ugly things online, apologised immediately and are yet to return. Others say reprehensible things—seniors should die for the economy; Aboriginal genocide would’ve happened anyway—with a tie on, never apologise and get syndicated.

We have a duty as scientists and journalists to ensure rigour in our work and care in its reporting. We are _all_ responsible.
