‘Manes, an Israeli bank executive, immediately told a flight attendant seated nearby that something was wrong. When he did not react, she shouted at him: “Something is happening in there!” Seconds later, the man “simply went to the [cockpit] door and opened it”, Manes told Israel’s Channel 12 TV.”

#RIP Bruce Baird aged 84. My sincere condolences to Mike, Julia and the family. Jason and I spent many hours with him 2 years ago on a cruise through the Med. I loved his wit, intelligence and wicked sense of humour. He was missing his dear wife Judy who had died a few years earlier. 😘

Governments’ own security assessments warn of conflict, migration, food shortages and economic instability as climate and ecosystems break down. So why is so much of the evidence still being withheld from the public? Julian Cribb writes. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

Governments know how dangerous climate collapse is. Why aren’t they telling us?
British intelligence warns that climate and ecosystem collapse could drive conflict, migration, famine and economic instability. Yet governments continue to conceal the full scale of the threat.

Want to understand the One Nation vote? Look at health, financial insecurity and the suburbs where infrastructure arrived years too late. The anger was building long before it appeared at the ballot box, Kos Samaras writes. #auspol #OneNation
pearlsandirritations.com
The One Nation vote is a map of government neglect
One Nation’s rise is often treated as cultural anger. New data point to something more concrete: poor health, financial insecurity and communities left without the services that make life work.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”
