"This was not a high-level summit — it’s tables of drones, guns, & smart explosive ordnance, some of it made in Israel..." Some of the merchandise promoted in that charming event is what was used to murder Zomi Frankcom. I didn't realise how low we had stooped. Who attends such grotesquery? #Auspol

Watch 🍊 & Musk prevent Ukraine's even limited warning/air defence.... show how a few tech/oligarchs exert full control with a switch! FFS urgent massive diversification of key sovereign services out of oligarchical control is needed, incl start-ups being "bought out". #auspol @albomp.bsky.social

That's big of him. Now we need to restrict the number of short term rentals are out there. There'd all of a sudden be a ton of stock out there!

I learned somewhere that a branch of India's government has gone back to typewriters for important stuff. The carbon paper used to create file copies is destroyed once it becomes useless. If the interwebs died tomorrow, I'd be sad to lose all the cat videos. 2/2

I acquired an IBM Selectric III typewriter a few years ago. I happily bashed out correspondence on one of those things for years during the late 1970s and early 80s, before getting married and having kids. 1/2

Why the FlyDubai story doesn’t add up, a Greens left turn and Australia’s politics of power
The FlyDubai narrative deserves more scrutiny, Shoebridge pushes the Greens towards the populist left; One Nation gets closer to Rinehart; Big tech and AI; and Labor pushes another massive coalmine.

Perhaps if these loopholes were tightened, there'd be less deficit to defend and conversely, we might get more nice things for people who need them. Like, say, education, healthcare, HOUSING, raising the rate..

Being reminded just how integral these moths are to an ecosystem. There's been years when there's been bugger all migration of them. The knock on effect for the creatures that feed on them has been devastating. The Indigenous that hunted the moths named the summer season after them.

For those who have been following along about my husband's crash back in early August, at the end of last week he was moved to the rehabilitation centre to really begin the work to recovery. He's made quite a few quantum leaps that have been stunning - especially where his brain injury is concerned.

I would argue that he is not worth much of that at all. His assets are worth that, but he certainly isn't. And he didn't fucking earn it, in the sense of earning it.

It always pays to follow where China makes its 'investments'. Xi rarely backs someone he expects to lose. I'm pretty sure, where Russia is concerned, he's offered the PRC equivalent of thoughts and prayers. The personnel et al from Asia are coming from North Korea.
