How broadcast TV networks covered climate change in 2025 Corporate broadcast networks again reduced climate coverage in 2025, marking the third year coverage has declined since the networks' high-water mark of 23 hours of reporting in 2022. A Media Matters ...

In 2025, broadcast TV climate coverage plummeted for the 3rd year in a row.

2022: 23 hours
2023: 17 hours - 📉25%
2024: 12 hours, 51 minutes - 📉25%
2025: 8 hours, 25 minutes - 📉35%

But hey, it's not like 2023, 2024, & 2025 were the 3 hottest years in recorded history by a lot. Nothing to see here!

"This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet?"

It is a hideous scandal that they can publish a chart as obvious as this and not even mention the words 'covid infections'.

My friend
the climatologist
tells me
what worries him
is the climate.

My friend
the epidemiologist
tells me
what worries them
are infections.

My friend
the historian
tells me
what worries her
are the people
who aren’t worried.

Large central headline: “COVID isn’t ‘just a cold.’” Below that: “It can affect the brain, heart, and immune system, even months later.” In bright pink near the lower middle: “Prevention matters.” At the bottom: “World Health Network - Science for a safer, healthier world.”

COVID is not “just a cold.” Even mild or asymptomatic infections can cause lasting health effects, damaging blood vessels and organs, affecting the brain, and weakening the immune system.

Your periodic reminder that in times of geopolitical instability - domestic, international, or both - an important element of building and maintaining both individual and societal resilience is to stay as healthy as possible. Protect your body and your brain: wear a respirator.

Stealing machine accuses others of stealing their stolen goods

I have a question for @tonyburkemp.bsky.social.

Have any of the Australian women currently trapped in Syria been accused of sniping kids in the head for sport, raping hostages to death, or firing 335 bullets into a car to murder a 6yo girl who'd survived the original attack?

Please advise.

I have a great idea.

As we stood in the elevator,
my colleague looked up
from his screen and asked:
“do you ever think
there’s something wrong
with the world?”
and though I wondered
which of the very many
somethings wrong
with the world
he might be referring to,
instead, I simply replied:
“yes.”

Putting Mandelson to one side, so much of what Jonathan Pie says about UK Labour applies equally to @australianlabor.bsky.social.

Sadly amusing that it took Haaretz to pick up on this line by Albanese

Haaretz Israeli Court Denies 5-year-old Palestinian Cancer Patient Life-saving Treatment Because of Gaza Address The judge ruled that the fact that the boy currently resides in Ramallah is immaterial, since the government's policy to bar all Palestinians registered in Gaza from receiving medical care in Israel 'draws its validity from security and political considerations' Chen Maanit 05:48 PM • February 09 2026 IST

Fuck Israel and fuck everyone who defends it. Right now the president of this apartheid monstrosity is sitting down with Australia’s prime minister for a cozy dinner - fuck him, too.

A Prime Minister with a tin ear and a cautious bureaucratic mind: “Anthony Albanese has been ‘devastated’ by the scenes from last night’s protest, but continues to back inviting Israeli president Isaac Herzog”.

He has to go.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Exclusive: Israeli President to Make Official Australian Parliamentary Visit The official parliamentary visit has not been made public by either the Australian or Israeli governments.

“Lamestream understands that journalists in the Canberra press gallery have been briefed on the visit but asked not to report on it.”
Incredible.

I hear my friends
expressing outrage
that a billionaire was asked:
“how do we get rid
of poor people
as a whole,”
and at the same time
I hear my friends
calmly explain
that it’s too much bother
to wear a mask anymore,
and so I fear my friends
are doing their part
of that “how.”
