Making a guy who owns 16 houses the shadow housing minister is truly inspiring stuff from the Libs - like the time Labor made the guy with 7 houses the regulator for landlords.
Amazing things happening with the Victorian ruling class 🤩

Pinter and Stoppard were great friends, which doesn’t stop this being an excellent quip, but he’s teasing Pinter, not seeking to bring him down a peg or two (or whatever).
Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

Wichtiger Text von Amely Wild und @thomasradlmaier.bsky.social über KI-generierte Bilder, die die Geschichte des Holocaust und der Konzentrationslager verfälschen, die gerade die sozialen Medien fluten.
Wie KI-generierte Bilder die NS-Geschichte verfälschen
Bilder, die scheinbar Szenen aus Konzentrationslager zeigen, fluten derzeit soziale Medien. Das Problem: Sie sind durch KI erstellt.

Made pizzas tonight and I was going to put some oyster mushrooms on one just as-is but then I decided to fry them in olive oil then blitz them into a purée with salt, pepper, and a herbs from the garden (thyme, oregano, and basil-mint) and the result is one of the tastiest things I’ve ever made

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Israeli group B’Tselem notes that, since a supposed “ceasefire” in Gaza, Israel has:
* killed 345 Palestinians,
* denied food to 70% of the population who need it,
* demolished a further 1,500 buildings.
All of this is in blatant violation of the agreement.

What kind of dogshit response is this from a sitting Minister? A legal challenge in the High Court is not a “threat”, is not “intimidation” - the appropriate, mature response here is, “We believe our policy is sound and will argue that case in court. The High Court will determine the outcome.”
