My favourite albums of 2025. A thread 🧵👇
With only 9 weeks until the end of year I figure now is as good a time as any to share some of my favourite albums from 2025. No ranked lists. No album of the year bs. Just sharing great music in the hope that other people discover it too.

Saturday night in with ‘the holy trinity’. Rush’s synth period is the band’s high water mark IMO. Grace Under Pressure would be in my top 5 Rush albums. Sounds incredible through headphones too! #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #musicsky

If the intention is to better align CSIRO with research missions under the SERD I wonder if the timing is right and I do wonder if this will impact ambitious collaborative research across the organisation whilst SERD missions are defined. #auspol #researchsky www.innovationaus.com/csiro-ground...
CSIRO grounds missions model in research overhaul
The national science agency will not launch any more research missions and is folding current ones like ending plastic waste and achieving net zero into its regular research portfolio, as it searches ...

So cool!
For the first time, scientists have documented a plant that mimics the smell of injured ants to attract pollinators.
The discovery reveals that floral deception is more diverse than previously thought and suggests many other hidden plant mimicry strategies may still be undiscovered.

Bust out the wallet chains and Dickies shorts because No Fun At All played @ The Tote tonight. I’ve seen NFAA live three times now and every time they put on a great show. It was so great to hear them play so many tracks from the ‘Out of Bounds’ album tonight! #punkrock #musicsky

Sussan Ley goes after Anthony Albanese’s Joy Division T-shirt as the Coalition tears itself apart, again
While the opposition leader criticised the prime minister’s clothing as a ‘profound failure of judgment’, Albanese posted he was ‘getting things done’
