Anthony B,

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

As an alternative that would actually be popular, Starmer could order an investigation into the many deals Blair's grift tank has done over the years.

Yep this is absolutely what Labour needs, from the man still reviled for his shameless boosting of Bush's invasion of Iraq.

I dunno, if I were Jeffrey Goldberg, author of "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?' (2008), I might pause for a moment before cheerleading another war in the same region.

A bunch of intricate tiny chairs and a beer can

The winning chair and the can type it was crafted from

My favourite tiney chair with tiny woven metal straps

As seen in the Nelson airport, a contest to make the best tiny chair out of a beercan. My cold hard heart softens

I really liked the emphasis you made on "this isn't just about catching cheating" but an opportunity to perhaps be made more aware of uses and pitfalls of the stuff

SMH headline: Australia faces the threat of war with China within three years – and we’re not ready Are we prepared for full-scale conflict? Our panel of national security experts says no. March 7, 2023 | Peter Hartcher and Matthew Knott

Happy final day before Australia's full-blown war with China kicks off day to those who celebrate

IIRC it was a week-long multi-media extravaganza

This is an outstanding approach, and I'll be very interested to see how it works. If nothing else it's also there for folks who *weren't* planning to cheat on the assessment to read and perhaps learn from.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

I mean pissing off India like this has no possible future negative impact, right?

Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal • 6h X The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. We were the hosts. I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president. The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation. We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

Some context to the Iranian boat that was targeted by US off Sri Lanka coast

Former Indian FM: “US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute”

Fetterman is a grubby shitty bigoted pig. You don't hold him in enough contempt

Grok being wrong: The Onion does have (hilarious) print editions, but this specific "Sam Altman" piece isn't from them—or any real outlet. It's a custom meme image made to look like one, floating around since at least February. Spot on for the satire though!

Wrong again, dumbass

Well, it did for *them* and their parents, SMH making it clear what's important (to them)

I remember many years ago the d-gen did a news spoof with "racially adjusted death tolls"

anyway, turns out the AU govt can bring back kids from the middle east. who knew

Stranded Australians arrive home after ‘traumatic’ waiting game in Middle East war zone The Australians on the first repatriation flight from the Middle East included a group from Sydney’s Barker College who were welcomed by parents, including TV personality David Koch.

I know I mock the Nine papers for being a worthless outlet for journalism. I don't mock them *enough*, imo. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

"private school children slightly inconvenienced"

Once again it's very weird how many software developers think the main time sink in software engineering is typing and not, I dunno, getting the right specifications out of stakeholders. Not all orgs can afford change managers and business analysts for every single item of work

I mean his friendship with the toad is a solid example of who he is and what he values.

Ah yes, cutting funding to Muslim groups because of a social media post by the far-right Australian Jewish Association. The textbook definition of social cohesion

Man, Kyle and Jackie going off air is one less place for Albanese to reach the public. Ah well, he's still got his account on the Nazi child porn site.

America handles this by lying and betraying them. "You should rise up against this leader" followed by stopping all contact

Honestly the writing for every new season of the US show "Let's Betray the Kurds" is pretty bad. Very repetitive.

The fit is just so funny to me. It looks like a Medal of Honor dog collar.
