Who is going to be elected prime minister of Australia tomorrow? The weak as piss Labor Albanese or the Trump look alike Liberal Dutton?
Either way we lose, probably more with Dutton than Albanese... but what a choice. The menu is disappointing, we should all try a different restaurant!

I agree our strongest defence allies should be Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and PNG.
If someone is invading our region from the north, how do you think they're likely to get here?
A strong Indonesia, Malaysia, and Philippines is our first line of defence. We should act like it.

“We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start, says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. In a searing talk, she details a fast-moving technological coup and the rise of the “broligarchy”: an unprecedentedly powerful class of tech executives who are complicit in dismantling democracy and enabling authoritarian control across the world."

The next events in the Heard & Mc. Donald Islands vs. USA trade war does not cool down as Heard & Mc. Donald Islands dictator, Generalissimo Pingu, vows to take over the USA to make it his 3rd state, thus totally ignoring the recent referendum for self-determination of the people.
Donald Trump, the current president of the USA, has not yet responded.
Stay tuned for more to come.

finding a linux distro that runs on old iphones would be handy. i was given a box full a while back.

Moins d'un an. Empathie et bienveillance ont été vues comme de la faiblesse par une cheffe de service qui briguait le poste. Frustrée d'avoir été écartée, elle a monté les autres chefs de services contre la directrice.
Je vais regretter cette collègue TSA non diag, on avait un bon relationnel de travail.
@uichelorraine @yapluca Pour le sang, ça va, on n'a eu "que" deux morts sur les 7 années que j'ai pu observer de l'intérieur : une ado qui s'est défenestrée d'un internat au deuxième étage et un autre qui s'est noyé pour cause de non-respect par les éducs des consignes d'encadrement de sortie.
Par contre, comme on peine à recruter (tout le secteur médico-social, pas que nous), y'a un gros recours à l'intérim, donc pas vraiment de constance sur les personnes entourant les gamins, notamment dans les MECS.
On a depuis peu une DG de transition qui va redresser la barre mais on a vraiment besoin de recruter des directeur•ice•s engagés.
Les rares personnes qu'on arrive à recruter sur des postes d'éducs sont généralement en reconversion pro, n'ont ni la culture ni les pratiques.
Ça a pu donner lieu à une situation ubuesque où un service d'hébergement (chef de service, éducs et veilleurs) se ligue pour dire à la directrice de tutelle qu'il faut mettre un gamin dehors pcq il est trop compliqué à gérer...
Poste toujours pas pourvu, depuis mars la direction de transition est assurée par deux autres directeurs de pôles, qui se partagent les services : hébergements pour l'un, accompagnement pour l'autre.
Mais le recrutement est en pause parce que le périmètre de ce pôle d'activités va être remanié.

¿Qué te radicalizó? Nada.
No querer que la gente se muera de hambre y sufra no es radical, es normal.
Deja de decir que es radical ser empático de nivel básico, y empieza a preguntarte qué hizo que las personas se convirtieran en sádicos.
Denuncia el comportamiento enfermizo, porque estoy cansado de que la gente piense que la amabilidad no debería ser lo predeterminado.

lol apparently the reason JD Vance's trip to #Nuuk was canceled was that they could not find a single person in #Nuuk who wanted to receive an in home visit from the vice president's family.
According to Danish TV they literally knocked on every door in the entire city (not that hard, there's only ~5,000 houses) trying to find someone who wanted an in home visit from Usha Vance... and 100% of the Greenlanders said no.

La résistance au États Unis, c'est aussi proposer des lois absurdes basées sur les mêmes principes bibliques que d'autres lois absurdes qui visent les femmes ou les personnes LGBT.
Celle ci par exemple, propose de pénaliser d'une amende de 10 000 dollars la moindre éjaculation qui ne soit pas survenue dans le but de concevoir.
