Another #Albo fail. Trump insults our soldiers' sacrifice, and Albo takes it in silence. His apologists are saying* "he said NATO troops, and we're not in NATO"
He is the lamest PM in my 50+ year political memory. Even Morrison and McMahon had more spine.

Given the deal he did a while back, it'd take a lot more than banning Grok to get Starmer (and the UK) out from under Trump's thumb.

They don't get it at all.
What they did was racist at best, supporting genocidal ideology is what it looks like to everyone out here; and that's what it is.
Using the Bondi terrorist attack as an excuse made it even worse. We've endured weeks of Zionist monsters linking Palestinians to the attack, despite no Palestinians being involved in the attack.
This is your typical "I'm sorry you took offence" apology, and reeks of Zionist damage control. We can all see what they're doing:

It's a shit-show: "but rather a continuing rapid shift in the national discourse around the breadth of freedom of expression in our nation"
Anyone can see that means "we're reading the room; the message is clear; haven't been told to silence you, because that's now how it's done, so we're painting it as something it's clearly not, but we're surprised when a bunch of clearly intellectual people instantly see through this, and join you in deciding not to play along. We're surprised that authors aren't complying like the media, but we're not as sharp as Louise Adler, who so clearly put it in her open resignation letter "its stenographers in the media".

Interview on the fatal shooting of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis:
Keith Ellison, Minnesota's Attorney General (who prosecuted the George Floyd murder case).
Federal authorities have now excluded state authorities from the investigation, & VP Vance says Ross is already exonerated.
"This is Third Reich stuff,” says Ellison, of ICE's escalating aggression, "an unprecedented attack on American institutions.”

already known...but let's put a spotlight on the next ICC judge (from Canada) who is cancelled from the digital life. No Amazon, no Mastercard, no Netflix account...
Just because Trump doesn't like the ruling of an independent international institution like the International Criminal Court.
ICC judges have been forcibly removed from most digital services, credit cards, and banks.
"Amazon, obliged to implement the sanctions as a US company, had cancelled her account."

Greta Thunberg detained by UK police over support for 'Palestine Action prisoners'
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained by British police on Tuesday while protesting outside the offices of Aspen Insurance in central London, after displaying a placard stating her support for Palestine Action prisoners and opposing genocide.
Organizers said she was arrested under the "UK’s terrorism legislation," as Palestine Action has been proscribed by the government since July, with hundreds arrested nationwide for expressing support for the group.

"These vessels represent the first moment in history when people chose to portray the botanical world as a subject worthy of artistic attention," the authors note. "It reflects a cognitive shift tied to village life and a growing awareness of symmetry and aesthetics."
“This research contributes to the growing field of #ethnomathematics, which explores how mathematical ideas are expressed through cultural practices and artistic traditions.”

Given the current temperature in Glasgow, I figured it's worth posting this plaque I came across on Westbank Quadrant about the origins of Lord Kelvin's ground-breaking research into absolute zero while he was a professor at Glasgow University. None of it is remotely true, but it's an amusing tale nonetheless, and with the current cold snap, it feels quite plausible!

A poll of US children found that they would rather see other children in physical presence, without constant adult monitoring, and it's because that is not allowed that they talk via online dis-services instead.
Are kids on their phones all the time because that’s what they love the most? An explosive new Harris Poll finds that actually, what kids 8-12 REALLY want to do is hang out together in real life – with no adults hovering, and no screens.lskenazy (Free-Range Kids)

Rev. Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston, was shot in the leg with a pepper ball by state police while protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility, Illinois. He writes for Religion News Service about why he continues to show up at Broadview, the atmosphere at protests there, and religious leaders' obligation to resist tyranny. "It is important for my neighbors who were abducted to know that we will not stop fighting for their release," he writes. "By my estimation, our country is somewhere in 1930s Germany. Fascism is growing in power, but we still have opportunities to resist."
