Last year, we made the decision to step away from X.

The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour.

In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

Surveillance of welfare recipients is not an appropriate response to people in increasingly desperate circumstances committing violent acts.

But Labor's plan seems to be just introducing more pre-crime punishments until needing welfare is itself seen as the crime.

The muted response to the undressing of women and children by Elon Musk’s Grok is the latest symptom of a culture of impunity—and a chance to address that culture head-on, @cwarzel.bsky.social and @matteowong.bsky.social argue.

Please take a moment to watch Samaa’s video.

The storm destroyed the flimsy walls they had built (again). They pay $500/mo.

Some of these bombed-out buildings collapsed, killing the people living in them 💔

Will there be calls for a Royal Commission into Islamophobia?

Will Grant Hackett get involved? Will community leaders blast the Albanese government for not listening to the Islamophobia envoy? Will Pauline Hanson be castigated by Sky for causing this, as Mehreen Faruqi was castigated over Bondi?
On Saturday, an imam and his wife were allegedly victims of a violent hate crime — forced off the road by another car, with attackers then getting out to assault the imam/threaten his wife.

ANIC put out a statement on Sunday arvo, noting rising islamophobia.

The media is just getting to it now.
