Ok #auspol, I have a theory. I think Spud is actually scared shitless about losing his own seat. His ideas now are less about Australia’s future and more about the desires of Dickson voters. Come on Dickson, you know the assignment. 😊🤞🦋

Paid subbies to my newsletter can see how (and how we know) the building-sized potentially Earth-impacting asteroid 2024 YR4 is shaped like a battered hockey puck, and also how an exoplanet was detected in X-rays!

Asteroid 2024 YR4 is a hockey puck! And an exoplanet seen in X-rays, kinda
Shape models show the asteroid is flattened, and an alien world transits its X-ray emitting star

Interesting thread
I got tagged in a long earnest thread about how criticising Labor is the same as criticising all working Australians.
This is cultish. I could not see it more differently.
For decades, under both blue and red T-shirt governments, wealth inequality has grown massively.
I just see sellouts.

The Liberal Party is re-posting a pro-Greens TikTok influencer's videos without her permission BUT edited versions of them to make it appear the TikTok influencer is criticising the Greens. This is blatant disinformation. Will our media call the Libs out for this deception? 😠 #auspol #AusVotes25
