It’s “pot plants being knocked over on the balcony” weather this evening 💨 #sydney

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧠👁️ Around 10% of #students experience #aphantasia, a lack of mental imagery that can make #science harder to learn. A study across seven #Sydney private schools found load reduction instruction boosted test scores by about 20% for these students. The #research recommends physical models and concrete language over “imagine this” prompts. 👉 https://phys.org/news/2026-07-assume-students-pictures-minds.html #education #learning #teaching #neurodiversity #classroom #psychology

“NSW premier Chris Minns says OpenAI agents may have also accessed information held by the state’s #BureauofCrimeStatisticsandResearch #BOSCAR. Minns said he was first alerted to the incident after a call from the PM. The prime minister called me late last night in #Sydney, it was early morning in New York, and he told me about this breach and his real concerns as it relates to safety and security of information held by government agencies, particularly the circumstances relating to it. Minns described the incident as “a big concern for us in #NewSouthWales”. We do believe there’s been access to a New South Wales #government #agency as well. Not private information, not personal information, but a similar example of what is generalised information but was not released to the public, being accessed by an #OpenAI agent.” “Opps we hacked you” is like a USSR / Russia type excuse for transgression. I don’t believe the hacks occurred by accident especially when foreign companies employ third party companies to test. [1] reference [1]

Three threatened bat species have been recorded flying around the Sydney Opera House and Harbour — including one 67 metres up, right on top of the sails. Nature doesn’t vanish just because we built a city. Green spaces, waterways and foreshores still matter, even in the middle of one of Australia’s busiest places. Maybe our urban wildlife deserves a bit more room to breathe. #sydney #bats #wildlife #conservation #biodiversity #ABCNEWS #ABCNEWSAustralia #abcnewschannel

Just for scale and perspective, here's how the size of the Gaza Strip compares with major Australian metro areas. Sydney: Cronulla to Narrabeen. Western Sydney: Castle Hill to Campbelltown. (You can comfortably fit one Gaza in Western Sydney, a second from the southern suburbs to the Northern Beaches, and still have plenty of room to spare.) Melbourne: Werribee and Tarneit to Epping and Campbellfield. Canberra: Roughly the same area. Gold Coast: Roughly the same area. Brisbane: Brisbane Airport to near Ipswich. Adelaide: Port Adelaide to Morphett Vale. Perth: Joondalup to Fremantle. #Gaza #Palestine #auspol #australia #politics #news #Sydney #WesternSydney #Melbourne #Adelaide #Perth #GoldCoast #Canberra

"#Synagogues have cancelled services and diverted costs from other services to prioritise their safety in the wake of rising levels of #antiSemitism in #Australia, the Royal Commission has been told. #Sydney silk #RichardLancaster addressed the inquiry on Monday and spoke about the financial challenges synagogues have faced when it came to making their organisations safe. “Representatives of the #synagogue told of how they cancelled Friday night services because they couldn’t afford to pay a guard, and felt that they could not discharge their duty of care to congregants without one,” Mr #Lancaster said. “The Commission has received submissions from very many synagogues around Australia. A constant theme is the organisational time, energy and money that has to be committed to security.”

#Whale #stranded on #Sydney beach 3 days ago to be tested for #BirdFlu. A #newborn #humpback whale carcass will be tested for H5N1 bird flu as a precaution. A member of the public had reported the stranded whale on #GreenHillsBeach in Cronulla about 6.30am on Friday by calling the Organisation for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans in Australia (ORRCA) hotline.
