A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Curious how poison baiting for foxes on public land in northwest Victoria avoids killing threatened and protected wilkerr (dingoes) in the same area? The Unprotection Order for wilkerr in this region was recently removed. It is illegal to kill wilkerr unless a permit is issued.

Brian Deer, interviewed here, is the preeminent journalist on the subject of self-interested anti-vaxxers. (I hope a reporter in the US is investigating RFK Jnr’s biggest donor’s bizarre obsession against the HPV vaccine.)

It is the job of the artist to provoke, to be controversial, to be outspoken, to get us to think. Isn't that one of the main points of art? If we start cancelling every artist because they "create debate" then who the hell are we as a society? Craven cowards. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

'Those just now discovering that their disciplines [in STEM] are not immune [from cuts] should look at the condition of the arts & humanities. Our crisis is not confined to our own house; it is less a crisis of arts & humanities, & more a crisis of the values of evidence, context & the public sphere
