The Aussie Federal Police are now hunting down the source of a leaked diplomatic cable, as the Coalition pushes for transparency — all sparked by PM Albanese’s infamous “shag Kylie Minogue” podcast gaffe.

2026/08/13

Spain’s dream of launching the world’s first industrial octopus farm has been scrapped after a $65 million project near the Canary Islands fizzled out, citing economic and regulatory hurdles. Though the plan—aiming for 3,000 tons of octopus annually by 2025—sparked global debate over ethics and animal intelligence (thanks to hits like “My Octopus Teacher”), experts say farming octopuses is just too hard: their delicate larvae, picky diets, and solitary nature make large-scale production

Doomsday cult leader William Kamm, aka Little Pebble, and his wife Sandra Susan Mathison have been acquitted on all charges after a judge-alone trial, despite allegations of grooming a seven-year-old girl over more than a decade.

Astronomers just found a cosmic oddity with the James Webb Space Telescope: a “black hole star” — a supermassive black hole wrapped in gas, dating back to just 660 million years after the Big Bang. Dubbed MoM-BH-1, it’s a red dot hiding a billion-solar-mass behemoth, its glow distorted by hydrogen and helium clouds. This discovery could rewrite how we think supermassive black holes form — maybe they grow alone, not inside galaxies. And there might be hundreds more like it waiting to be
