Were I in a govt that really cared about kids, I’d be banning new coal and gas mines with rather more fervour than the current ban on social media.

The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.
Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?
That is more than 0.5C ago.

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

This group accused experts who opposed the ban of being 'bought' by big tech. Meanwhile, it was lining up brand deals, eyeing global expansion & developing an AI tool to track students

The defenders of the State Library of Victoria are not stupid nor stuck in the past. We're busy & would rather not have to rally & petition. But this ludicrous, blithe response to years of damage & neglect infuriates staff & users for good reason. No librarians in senior management?! Come on.

The State Library won’t be frozen in time. Change keeps us relevant
Students, researchers and scholars want to use the library in different ways – hiring out the spaces and evolving its services are necessary if it is to survive as a temple of engagement.
