The whiff of One Nation appears on the breeze and David Janetzki asks Crisafulli if he was kicked in the head by a donkey.
Contra to the incorrect report in the Courier-Mail last week, David Crisafulli has not yet moved to reinstate OPV in Queensland, but did today restate his government intends to do so during this term. #qldpol

George Orwell fought in the Spanish war against fascism and it was this experience plus other experiences with imperialism Britain and communist Russia that were used to write Animal Farm and 1984 - he already had the material from real life

Whenever anyone hears pro cr*pto narrative in sports commentary, remember this, as cr*pto is a way to promote Trump/GOP cruel fascism that runs multiple cons against the hardworking general public. The ‘I got in very early and made big $' is a total con in terms of now and its ongoing ponzi future
According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

The IOF is literally raping Palestinian hostages to death and is applauded for doing so.

Sexual violence is always unacceptable, however NOTHING justifies or excuses Israel's GENOCIDE of the Palestinians.

Report that, @nytimes.com. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

I increased the size of my crop under a Biden government and then voted for Trump because I couldn’t remember the same thing happening then that’s happening now. Yes I’m a stupid bastard who thought leopards change their stripes. What will I do?
Put my hand out for a government payout of course.

On Trump being constantly ‘haunted’ in abject fear of U.S comedians and countering his nonsense bully tactics and abusive darvo abuse against them
February 3, 2026 at 9:34 PM
Appeasing bullies by being manipulated, co-opted by their combative high emotive false assertions against others on the basis of not being bullied of course does not work, only encourages the bully to keep on with their to ‘divide and conquer’ and ‘overthrow’ tactics. Its deceit, blame and chaos

Last month was the 13th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of January.

This was 510,000 km² below the 1981-2010 January average. Data from the @nsidc.bsky.social: nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

This is the point I keep trying to get across in media interviews and conversations.

The science and data matter (obviously), but this is fundamentally a *people* story. These losses and lack of opportunities affect real people, real communities, and the impacts will last for decades.
The state of the field is bad, actually.

The private sector seems to be still doing ok but the rest is hanging by a thread.

We have government shutdowns roughly every 2 months. Federal workers are treated like 3rd class citizens. NCAR as we know it may very well cease to exist.

NOAA hasn’t posted a new atmospheric science grant opportunity literally since the Biden Administration. NSF keeps firing ppl and cutting things and not actually sending allocated money.

Couple all of that with nothing being affordable and it’s pretty terrible!

It is currently austral summer, which means that #Antarctic sea-ice extent is on its way to the annual minimum. This year will *not* be a new record low, partially due to very widespread ice cover in the Weddell Sea.

"These cycles of aggression and retreat are intentional” Its how all bullies work. When caught out they retreat, appear ‘cordial’, come back at it more deceitfully. They talk over the top of others, constant divert false blame to undermine, lie, over complicate things, add chaos, until removed
Trump’s TACO backdowns are no accident. It’s how he expands his power
With all Donald Trump’s backtracking he must be losing the political battle, right? Wrong: this is exactly how he wants to operate.

"A four-fold surge in residential battery uptake is being hailed as a transformative moment for the electricity grid, offering hopes of lower prices by absorbing more of the excess renewable energy from solar panels during the day to power homes after sunset” #renewablesage Australia climate action
As rooftop solar overtakes coal, more batteries are powering the night shift
Australia’s love affair with home-grown renewable energy is driving booming battery sales, and it’s reshaping the electricity grid.

Trump rants and rants, darvo abusing everyone he fears. Shows he’s living a life of being in constant fear of so many people telling it like it is. The level of constant fear he shows of ‘others’, that constantly haunts him, is pathological
Perfectly normal behavior for a sitting president. A big nothing burger. Nothing to see here.

I’m not a constitutional scholar but if a president advocates for a change to election laws that is contrary to the constitution, isn’t that a violation of his oath of office?

The western U.S. faces its lowest snowpack on record despite average or above-average rainfall. Warmer temperatures mean more precipitation falls as rain rather than snow, and will worsen droughts in areas like the Pacific Northwest and the Colorado River Basin.
