At this terrible time we reach out to our Jewish community, our friends and neighbours with tears with love and resolute solidarity. We have seen last night the worst of hatred and cowardly violence and in response the best of love and heroic courage.
@stackja1945@GrayConnolly This is a sexist jibe at a woman having a double barrelled surname, and the normalisation of this behaviour and @GrayConnolly not having any issue with it becomes part of the problem.
Always happy to discuss. But it’s clear the online world, especially social media is having huge mental health impacts on young men as seen in @zacseidler’s research. I love quirky interests, I don’t love when an algorithm points that interest into misogynistic content hidden as ‘traditional values’.
Not all screen time is equal - but saying YouTube shouldn’t be included in the social media ban laws is farcical. My piece in today’s SMH https://t.co/mgBiTwOw4O #socialmediaban#parenting#screentime
🚨 World-first research: 1 in 3 Australian men report using IPV. Key findings from our @aifs_au Ten to Men study:
-Depression increases risk by 32-62%
-Social support reduces risk by 26%
-Strong father-son bonds reduce risk by 48%

Could the @Aus4Prosperity and Better Australia people please remove their anti-teal corflutes around Wentworth? They’re the last ones still around and clearly did not work on @spenderallegra 🩵
The Heard and McDonald Islands are among the dozens of targets of President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs. But they have no exports, because no one lives there. https://t.co/Bi0w8Y6Nf0
Now as the dust settles on a Trump victory & the strategists go back to the drawing board to understand what happened, one thing is clear. Despite months of warning young men were going to trigger a big swing in favour of Trump, no one took this seriously enough. #Election2024🧵
Regardless of the result #Election2024, one thing is clear. We must find ways to move beyond a puritanical liberalism casting an us vs them mentality and instead find ways to reach out & grab onto a shared humanity we seem to have lost site of. Pragmatic progressivism must reign.
I urge media to delete all published images of Penny Wong’s new house. High profile politicians face genuine security considerations for themselves and their families. Responsible media should respect those safety considerations in any reporting of the issues.
If you were impacted by the strike action on Sydney Trains this morning, be aware the Government was advised 10 days ago and did nothing to notify the public ...
There are so many reasons why we should not be reopening the abortion debate in Australia - it is backwards and undignified. Also, we don’t need to. Compulsory voting means we don’t need to outrage people out of bed on polling day, they’re voting already. Keep politics boring, please.
At @UNSWScience we have been investigating the tar balls that washed up on Coogee and other Sydney beaches.
What do we know (and not know!) so far?
Here comes our thread!
