I'm thrilled that the second "New Voices On Food" book is ready to preorder! somekindpress.com/products/new-v… It's a Diversity In Food Media project and it showcases 10 memorable stories about food by Australians from under-represented communities. It was a total joy to edit this book!
In July, I pitched the idea of a book showcasing diverse voices on food. In August, we opened submissions to Australians from under-represented backgrounds. In September, I shortlisted the final pieces and edited the manuscript. It's now being printed! somekindpress.com/products/new-v…
“You end up debugging an AI that won’t admit it’s wrong wrapped in another AI that can’t explain why.”
Gen AI is what happens when you ship something about 8 years too early and hope it doesn't catch up with you.
At Sydney's only full-time Mexican bakery, you'll find horchata-sweet coffee, an ancient hot choc that predates Euro-style cocoa by 1000s of years, a Mex pastry that tastes like Iced VoVos and much more. Here's my write-up on Pancho Bakery for @goodfoodAU: smh.com.au/goodfood/sydne…
Taylor Swift releasing (needing?) 30+ variants of her new album in ONE WEEK to knock off Adele’s sales record feels cynical. Should a billionaire really squeeze her fans this way? @mckinneykelsey on how ‘good art does not come from greed’ is the BEST piece I’ve read about TLOAS.
This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story: “I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to…

I once read just 4 books in a year. In 2025, I’ve read more than 60 – a lifetime record for me! Recreational reading has declined throughout Australia, but I hope this story might inspire people to turn some pages. (Thanks @nicoheath for editing this!) abc.net.au/news/2025-10-0…
FYI, @fbiradio's supporter drive ends soon – if you're able to support the station, please do! It played @thekidlaroi & @flumemusic when they were teens (I recall playing Flume's demo as Harley when he was 15!) and has showcased Sydney culture for 20+ yrs fbi.radio/support
🚨 The Israeli forces are increasing their carnage in Gaza City, while famine has been declared in the city by the integrated food security phase classification. Amande Bazerolle, the head of our emergency response in Gaza, shares her reaction to the current situation in Gaza…
Famine has now been confirmed in Gaza. Over half a million people are facing the most devastating form of hunger, warns @theIPCinfo. An immediate ceasefire and unhindered humanitarian access is imperative to save lives. wfp.org/news/famine-co… — via @WFP
Al Amara is the only Sydney shop that freshly mills its own tahini. Made from pure sesame, this Iraqi bakery's tahini is one of the best things I've eaten this year. "It has more complexity and character than entire bookshelves." My review in @goodfoodAU smh.com.au/goodfood/sydne…
"Maybe you will build those toxic – emotionally, spiritually, environmentally – simulacra engines and suck up all the water and tank the energy grid with the demand for the worst art ever made." Great @SquigglyRick piece on AI slop & its 'business' model rick-morton.ghost.io/crumbs-at-the-…
We obtained data from a classified Israeli intelligence database indicating that at least 83% of people killed in Gaza were civilians. The data lists all militant deaths the army was able to confirm. An investigation for +972 Magazine and The Guardian with Emma Graham Harrison
“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a…
