A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

Sanders: The wealthiest people on earth are pouring hundreds of billions into research and development for AI and robotics. You think they’re doing that because they’re thinking, “Oh man, this is going to be something that will improve life for working people, for low-income people.”?

So ... we have a huge storm happening and my phone is pinging with emergencies nearby (flooding, trees down) ... yet the BOM website tells me there are no warnings for my area 🤔
And the new radar view is pretty useless and awful.

This is brilliant writing by Amy Remeikis (one of Australia's best journalists, in my opinion). I tried to pick out a quote to lead into this piece - but every word is excellent - so you'll just have to read it all for yourself. She nails it.

I need to give a big thank you to @boyfrombruce.bsky.social (give him a follow) for taking me birding on the weekend. It really lifted my mood. Just what the doctor ordered. Being a local, he knows all the good birding spots & has access to some private property. A great weekend - despite the flies!
