It blows my mind that TRUMP has limited Ukraine’s access to Starlink so its drones are not able to go at full speed, limiting its defence against Russia. TRUMP IS LITERALLY SABOTAGING UKRAINE TO HELP RUSSIA. Why is Australia a US sycophant when the US is siding with Putin? @albomp.bsky.social

The political class has turned Australia into a nothingburger, run by a secretive cabal that urges its citizens to ignore blatant double standards by keeping the temperature down & to not upset the apple cart of outrageous foreign interference. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic... Vote Greens
thenewdaily.com.au
Double standards from supermarkets to a convenient 'shrug emoji'
One reason these double standards are accepted is because the political class refuses to acknowledge them and there is little pushback.

I’m not supporting immigration cuts in any way, but compelling the hospitality business to admit their pay and conditions suck is a fun outcome of this awful debate. Some cafe owners may have to learn how to cook. Might do them some good, give them some connection with the world. #AusPol

Politicians and business deliberately deskilled Australia so they could rely on just having more people brought in from overseas to save on training costs and keep wages behind. Now they complain that Australia has fallen behind. They created this situation. Not migrants. They did.

World-renowned entomologist Dr. Pamela Marrone is a pioneer in biological pest control. In her 40+ year career, she transformed global agriculture by developing nature-based biopesticides as alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides.🧵 She was born #OTD in 1956. #WomenInSTEM #Entomology #AgTech
A professional studio portrait of Dr. Pamela Marrone (born 1956), the world-renowned entomologist and pioneering AgTech entrepreneur who revolutionized sustainable agriculture through biological pest control. Positioned centrally against a neutral, light gray studio background, Dr. Marrone is captured from the chest up, facing forward with a warm, confident smile. Her eyes are bright and engaging, framed by a short, neatly styled crop of curly, dark hair. She is dressed in a professional ensemble consisting of a light beige or peach-toned blouse layered under a structured black open blazer or cardigan. Around her neck hangs a thin silver chain necklace with a unique, vintage-style oval pendant featuring a distinct dark insect motif in the center, subtly nodding to her lifetime of entomological achievements. The soft, even lighting enhances the bright, welcoming, and authoritative mood of the portrait.
