Lovely fellas! I’ve been seeing a few red wing fairy wrens this week I’m WA, bloody tricky to get a pic of them though - well done!

UQ students standing in solidarity with Palestine

UQ has a very strong relationship with US weapons manufacturer Boeing. Students are protesting this relationship, as well as showing general support for Palestinians, by staging a camp-in on campus.

Some photos I took of the camp as I walked past them this morning.

One opening at Curtin Uni (WA) today as well. Curious to see how universities handle it, the demands seem pretty reasonable to me.

Where to now for North?

Smashed by a fairly ordinary Hawthorn side, with some big injuries including Day, Lewis, Jiath, Wingard, and Breust.

The big question: Is the issue North's list? Or has the game gone past Clarko as a coach?

"Meanwhile, North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson concedes his side is still a long way off the pace after forecasting the match would be an indicator of where his rebuilding outfit sits in its development.

"He was left in no doubt and North has now lost 26 of 27 games since success in Clarkson's first two outings at the helm early last year."

It’s their first proper year with Clarko, not gonna judge too much until the end of the year. They’ve really suffered from (A) being a minnow club that doesn’t naturally attract talented players with experience, and (B) terrible luck at the draft until the last two or three years. Their midfield appears decent and Larkey is elite but they’ve been hurt by being denied access to players like JUH and Jed Walter.

It feels like Freo and most suburbs are stuck between a rock and a hard place. We desperately need more places to live in, and NIMBYs are usually blamed for opposing this. But when you look at the absolute shite that developers are building for people to live in, I find it hard not to empathise with them somewhat. Once heritage is destroyed and replaced by a concrete jungle, that cannot be undone.

I feel like the B series only arrived on the Freo line a few years ago, might have to go out of my way to check these new ones out.

I don’t hate him but I wish people would watch his videos with a bit more critical thinking. I’ve talked to a few left-wing people that were swayed into voting Labor (or in one instance, Bob Katter) because he did a video before the last federal election that ridiculed preferential voting. I watched this video and it was filled with straight-up misinformation (I’ve worked as a vote issuer/counter many times before). In my experience he’s not actually made Australia more progressive, I don’t know any of his viewers that have switched from LNP to Labor, but a few that have gone from Greens to Labor. I don’t know if they still do it but he used to have a brigading group on Facebook, which always spread his videos around and filled them with positive comments on Reddit and the like. I know he’s popular outside of that but it’s hard to determine exactly how organic his reach is.

Never been so happy to have a 25+ point loss. McGovern, Yeo, and Hunt were amazing, and this Harley Reid guy goes alright too!

Volatile communication in plants relies on a KAI2-mediated signalling pathway (www.science.org)

Cool paper from my field. In every plant species there’s a hormone receptor sitting there but we don’t know what the hormone is yet! Finding the ligand has become a bit of a holy grail for many researchers. This study finds an endogenous ligand for a divergent homologue of this receptor, not of much consequence to most plant...

Wonder where the disagreement has come from. Stadium maybe?

Surge in WA emissions puts Australia’s net zero targets in doubt (www.theguardian.com)

I don’t imagine theres much room in the WA electorate to vote further to the ‘left’ than Labor. But still, a couple more Greens, or even Teals, could really help push the WA government faster down the path they’re already slow walking down....

We’ve had so long to future-proof our state, to invest in an economy of intellectual-based exports, or even some novel manufacturing… but no, the best we can still muster is digging up rocks and gas. And letting other people profit from it.

I can only hope we see some more disruptive protests at some point, because it’s hard to see Labor doing anything about the climate crisis. You’d think that their overwhelming majority at the state level would’ve shifted the overton window left but this feels like a pretty conservative Labor government.

Ehh that’s a very cynical and kinda misleading take of how it works. This may be generally true in the house of representatives but still 12% of the seats don’t end up funnelled to the two major parties. In the senate a quarter of senators aren’t affiliated with either major party and at the moment it requires Labor to collaborate to pass bills, so although we do have two major parties we are nowhere near being a two-party system.

I get that it makes sense to have laws to protect people against racially aggravated harassment, but this feels like a stretch and a huge waste of time and resources. That said, Sam Kerr is a role model and this kinda behaviour shouldn’t be seen as ‘based’ or anything imo.
