Really enjoying the #AC/DC concert at the MCG tonight - and I didn‘t even have to leave home in Hawthorn. They just played Highway to Hell. Awesome.

AI usually means Arseholes Involved. It’s a thieving, hollowing and unethical beast of a thing. It has no place in an ethical, decent society. It has no place in Hookland and never will.

Rosalind Franklin was born #OTD in 1920. Her X-ray diffraction work was critical for establishing the helical nature of DNA. 👩🔬 🧪
Work carried out by Franklin (with doctoral student Raymond Gosling) was given to Watson and Crick without her consent.

Born #OnThisDay in 1867 was Marie Skłodowska–Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win twice and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two disciplines: Physics for her work on radioactivity, and Chemistry for her discovery of radium and polonium. #WomenInSTEM

🧵 If this peace deal is successful, we'll be back at the perpetual statemate that characterised the status quo ante. Israel will continue to expand illegal settlements in the West Bank, it will continue to control Gaza's borders and we will be no closer to Palestinian statehood.

The world was given ample warning that failure to hold Israel to account would lead to inevitable violence. Palestinians could not be held in perpetual occupation, apartheid and blockade. If they wanted to isolate Hamas they needed to undercut its raison d'être. We told you this.

Every now and then I see a photo of Trump smiling a genuine smile, and it just reminds me of what a miserable, hateful c**t he is the rest of the time.
There is no organization called "antifa" - so, why label a non-existent group "terrorists"?
This gives the regime maximum scope to hunt down opposition and critics. They label you "antifa", and then they come for you.
