Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

It’s now clear #AUKUS nuclear reactors will be dismantled at Port Adelaide and the SA Government is considering storing spent nuclear fuel in SA. Why are discussions on these topics being held in secret with a UK company and not openly with the SA public? #FOI #saparli

Any nation that is dependent on Starlink for military comms should be building sovereign capability. Don’t want to become a hostage to the whims and bullying from the US.

Trump/Musk cutting off communications access to the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fighting in horrible conditions, giving their lives defending Europe, as an extortion is exactly what the US is now. And they voted for it.

that Trumpers think the US Postal SERVICE should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

I feel compelled to tell you I bought full coverage Australian health insurance today. It is $17 USD a week.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

I wonder if you can guess, without reading the headlines, which TWO people in this picture just got fired from the Joint Chiefs. Go ahead, take a wild guess. Pick two.

OMG everyone!! You won’t believe what I just caught! After 9 years on our property, the holy grail animal that I thought we had no chance of seeing just entered my cage trap that I use for rats. Meet the Chuditch (Western Quoll). Released safe and unharmed this morning. I am still in shock.

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.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Obviously one should never do this. Do not use this diagram. Recommend avoid doing this. But the image does helpfully show where the cameras on Tesla cyber truck might capture vision of passers-by.

Very disappointing to see Standards Australia dismissing many of the almost 1,200 public comments on their proposal to expand the standard size of parking spaces in Australia and New Zealand, with no attempt to engage the substance of those comments

1. The concept of "baseload" is a myth. It's an antiquated concept pushed heavily by the fossil fuel industry. 2. Nuclear power is the most expensive power that can be generated 3 . Dutton is a liar. #auspol

Not long after I submitted my application to the national redress scheme I received a phone call from the local police where the abuse occurred. The Catholic church had reported my application to police after the government provided my application to the church.
