I couldn’t get past a few episodes, despite wonderful Brendan Gleeson. I kinda feel like my tolerance for onscreen violence and menace has decreased substantially the last few years!

My year of gigs with my daughter

Teenage girls, who have long been pop’s biggest consumers, can teach us so much about music. After dozens of concerts with my 15-year-old, I am in awe of them, writes Miranda Sawyer

Through the course of this investigation, more than a dozen major Australian charities refused to disclose which data tools they use to profile givers. Crikey has named them.

Which Australian charities are profiling, ranking and predicting whether you’ll give money?

“Do I blame Anthony Albanese for the attacks on Sunday? Do not be so ridiculous. Australia was antisemitic well before he turned up and it will be long after he goes.”

Our country is gone. My family has endured bigotry for decades, but now I’m broken

A Jewish family like mine knows that Australia has antisemitism running in its blood.

ICYMI - great article by @lmorgenbesser.bsky.social outlining a range of forms of citizen-led participation that can work in Authoritarian contexts - from political consumerism, satire, storytelling, and to frequent protests

Has the Trump resistance been too passive? Here are 7 ways to effectively protest authoritarian rule

The ‘No Kings’ protests have been important, but smaller, more sustained acts of resistance have proven successful in other countries around the world.

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵

I’m in Berlin & have always been interested in the Stolpersteine or stumbling stones commemorating Jewish holocaust victims
I spotted these today near Humboldt Uni - academics hounded out of their jobs before they either fled or were sent to camps

The "smartphones/social media" discourse suffers from some amazing historical amnesia. There was no 2008 financial crisis and no global pandemic starting in 2020, it's all SCREENS SCREENS SCREENS. Major world events? Just the backdrop against which SCREENS happened.

You don’t have to look hard in Australia to see how the politicisation of childhood as a time of life is wielded by power hungry politicians. Children—simultaneously too innocent to scroll instagram and always already potentially delinquent with ‘adult’ consequences required.

Citizens of countries including the UK and France will have to disclose the past five years of their social media history to visit the US even though they are covered by visa waiver schemes, under new proposals by the Trump administration.

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. Links to sources, references and credits in the video description!

There are lots of myths about the Australian #SocialMediaBan for under16s. One is that it will stop cyberbullying. It won't.

Here's a short, blunt piece from me in @theconversation.com explaining why: theconversation.com/australias-s...
