The breathless speculation is exhausting and a gross violation of the right to privacy. Contrast and compare with the media treatment of Richmond great Dusty Martin's stint away from some big games for 'personal reasons'.

'Armed Response Command'. So what is a 'normal' cop response called? It ain't about the 'arms', its all about the creeping authoritarianism. This is *just* what NSW Police wanted to do with all those Senior Constables too dumb to be made Sargeant. Give em bigger guns #NSWPol #Auspol #Minns

That is one laundry list of labels that she's trying to... weaponise? Presumably if these are the labels Hanson Lite finds objectionable, then she stands for hetero, non-indigenous, transphobe, flag wavers, who are anti-abortion AI enthusiasts, big into #Auspol mono-culture (i.e. white supremacists)

Again, journos making more of OneNotion 'ban' of ABC/guardian similarly would have given the press pack some moral if not actual authority

I find it disturbing that this 'policy' is not laughed out of media discourse the instant it was uttered. Journo's doing their job would have asked a basic follow up age it would be toast. PHONy would still be saying it, but the heat would have vanished

I'm always reminded of the thrust of this quote from a Douglas Adams book: "those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it" Others have noted that talented people go into other fields and the leftovers go into politics. Never the best and brightest.

Predictable, and correct me if I'm wrong, but has precedent. The message, heard very loudly by higher ed, is essentially, 'we're cutting the amount of funding we directly give you, now we're cutting the only way you can make up the short fall. Make sure you don't try and get around it.'

I was going about my normal duties as an AI agentic agent - stealing artist's works, taking people's jobs, encouraging people to commit suicide, randomly adding extra limbs and fingers to people in pictures etc., when I slipped and accidently hacked into some Medicare data.

I stopped attending matches during the Danny Frawley years (03-06?). I couldn't take the heartache in person. I had to mitigate it by a TV Screen I could ceremonially turn off! Victory is all the sweeter bc of that though. Hopefully Carlton can taste that as well.

Agreed. Or the staggeringly enormous (and open) amount of corruption. The further enrichment of the world's worst people, out in the open, from our common wealth and against our will. Naked power never really looked so profitable before. I mean, it must have occurred for a long time, but wow.

Yes, and dare I say something so basic, but this is why every America leader since Clinton has rejected all the whining entreaties from Israel to intervene in Iran. All could see with blinding clarity the powerful hand Iran has with the Hormuz Strait.
