Cranbrook School, a private school charging fees of up to $50,000 a year, just bought Martin Sharp’s residence for about $25 million. It takes $7million of public money every year - that it does not need! School funding in Australia has become a farce

Ha! Trick question. Trump won the elections in 2016, 2020 and 2024 because of how tired of winning we were.

Daylight robbery. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing Australian PM Anthony Albanese fronting a press conference saying, "We know ongoing war in the Middle East means that some Australians are doing it tough..." while in the background, a smugly smiling and suited man wheeling a transport trolley on which sits an enormous burlap bag full to overflowing with money and labelled "Untaxed Gas Export Revenue Up 30%" walks off towards the horizon.

And also, turns out that "well if you also want real action and more crafters in parliament, you could party vote Green..." is actually a very persuasive argument. So many women were like I DO WANT THAT! And great to talk about how important party vote is no matter what electorate you're in!

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Anthropic found the origin of the NIST elliptic curve seeds: they were generated with drand48()! No one was seriously worried, but this should put some FUD to rest, completing the NIST ECC rehabilitation arc… just in time to be retired in favor of PQ. Also, we raised $36 Ki for ISRG. Yay!

The NIST Elliptic Curves Seeds Bounty Has Been Claimed
We now know how the seeds of the NIST elliptic curves were generated: they’re not the hash of some saucy sentence, but the output of drand48() seeded with the time, which was indeed in 1997–98.

Saying "Hello Mr Magpie" is a common English superstition. I have always understood it to come from a child's song, 1 for sorrow, 2 for joy, 3 for a girl, 4 for a boy, 5 for silver, 6 for gold, 7 a secret never told. It being bad luck to see 1 magpie.
