Ahmet has received hospital visits from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns, while his parents and extended family have remained by his side. He has undergone several surgeries to treat gunshot wounds suffered in the terror attack. Liberals haven't bothered apparently

Dear Australia. Your government is not responsible for your behaviour. Whether they allow it or not regardless. Same goes for everyone else. You don't blame the school teacher for how your kids behave, you blame yourselves.

The two most interesting areas of research I think, where visionary things are happening, are the science of the brain & work on anti-virus drugs. As always cancer breakthroughs* are the thing to watch. A lot of media focuses on less important things. This is a great overview of some brain research:

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Forever, the Liberal party have defined themselves as the ‘best economic managers’, yet their Net Zero flip flop, again, exposes this myth. The Liberals are the party of confected outrage and opposition for the lack of vision. A mere group of corporate lackeys at the service of the highest bidder.

Australian house prices dramatically increased under Howard (see his legislation). No gov has changed this legislation since then, so it continues. It is not immigration. I can cite 7 houses empty in my suburban area.
