AUKUS risks becoming a sunk cost in a rapidly changing military landscape. As warfare shifts toward autonomous systems, Australia may be locking itself into an outdated and enormously expensive strategy, Stewart Sweeney writes.

Australia’s crossroads on America’s war in Iran

Old woman here, finding it very odd that somehow taking tax payer money & have it used for the taxpayer good is branded as socialism. I want my money going to infrastructure, services, security, safety nets & other public goods. Why else would we pay taxes? F the greedy robber barons & oligarchs.

Amanda Ungaro told the Courier she’s willing to testify re Zampolli’s relationship w Melania & Trump. Obvi, Zampolli trafficked underage models with Epstein & Maxwell. Ungaro says she came over (aged 15) on Epstein’s jet w/ other teenaged girls. Is Zampolli still trafficking to Mar A Lago? The WH?

Crows remember human faces. For years. If you wrong one, it will tell other crows about you — and they'll harass you too. Even crows that never met you! This is not just a bird. This is one of the most intelligent animals on the planet.

I'm grateful my post-grad education taught me to hold contradiction in tandem. Like being appalled by the Iranian regime, esp as a feminist. And being appalled by the US-Israeli assault on Iran, a sovereign country. Richard Marles on RN reminded me. Thank you, Hegel, if for nothing else.
