She'll be with her family for summer.

Hopefully Yang Hengjun will follow soon.

@LTSnickers I might have misunderstood, but I don't think he was actually awarded the $20,000. I think Lee was saying that's all that would have been on the table here (lehrmann had dreamed of 'millions'). SMH live blog reporting the respondents won, so no damages

It's here: my annual presentation on decarbonization.

There is a lot going on, and I attempt to capture it in 200 slides. Ocean heat content, deforestation, fund performance, vehicle efficiency, lighting technology, GLP-1 agonists, and much more. https://t.co/DxlE3kbl13

Reporter: You said 'because Australians are a fair, compassionate and courageous people, I believe we are ready to take this step together.' Does tonight's result tell you otherwise?

Albanese: "I think Australians are fair, and compassionate."

@MFWitches @Mon4Kooyong @CroweDM This isn't fair. Media is obliged to report what politicians say/do. Aside from Sky, etc the media didn't say No...in fact, its done more reporting on Indigenous Aus in the last 12 months than ever before. Dutton is an influential leader, and he made No mainstream

@AusElectoralCom Hi @AusElectoralCom, can I vote in another electorate in my state tomorrow? Not essential but I'll be visiting a friend and would be nice to vote together

[Webb-site @webbhk]

And no, HK doesn't have guitar-playing gorillas or saxophone-playing dinosaurs.

@PeterDutton_MP That tweet is from 2017. How far did you need to scroll back just to wedge Chris Minns?

@Angela20237591 @ymeusee @LyleShelton @aclennell Some of those sound great to me. Unfortunately, this is just a poorly formatted google doc you wrote yourself/were sent by a mate

(and your list ends with free sporting equipment?? 😂)

@GordonF99216174 @SBSNews She brought a cheer squad. Pretty sure the regular journos must've been deeply uncomfortable

@KimJongKard @Matt_KeanMP I agree, we're often expected to get this in Aus just from the vibe, when we don't get the deep racial education available in the US. But we can give the artist the benefit of the doubt while seeing these caricatures were never limited to the US and are still so damaging here

[James Wagner @wagtag_]

@KimJongKard @Matt_KeanMP There's the unironic image of an immature/naive black kid vs the rich burdened white man (when it's not even making a point about age)...easy to dismiss as personal not racial, but for the subtler (for Australians) fact that it looks awfully like a Jim Crow cartoon (note the jig)

@Telegraph @realzoestrimpel The threat of ChatGPT on writer's existence makes journalist seize-the-moment to write an article on the country Taiwan – complete with asinine headline, luxurious commas, and lush spelling.

Let's hope those fires are going to put themselves out

200+ South African firefighters landed in Edmonton, Canada to assist in the fight against the raging wildfire. 🇿🇦🇨🇦

@Laurelhall58 @dan_brunskill @TarasKuzio Wikipedia is detailed and well sourced on Euromaidan etc, definitely not consulted in this

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

I found out today that on Chinese social media, there’s a trending hashtag that translates to white people meals lol

“I was so tired I ate a white people meal today”

One of hashtags is also “white people meals are still meals”

Many Covid survivors continue to struggle, with some facing lasting lung damage. The New York Times spoke with three patients and analyzed millions of data points from their lung scans to reconstruct a vivid 3-D picture of that damage. https://t.co/Abt4mrtz7S
