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

"Satellite imagery shows two buildings have been damaged near an Iranian nuclear site in Isfahan.

However, there are no signs of damage to facilities containing nuclear material...

...no further damage has been detected at the Natanz nuclear site."

So it's exactly, precisely for show; cannot have actual effect.

(But you knew that.)

Point an Iranian interviewee (on BBC) made last night: Iranians have absolutely no idea what Trump might want. The internet there is disabled. They cannot hear (let alone in a language they understand).

πŸ“‘ #NewStudy by Knott et al. investigated the injury risks to an Australian freshwater fish as it passed through a regulated floodplain outlet. One risk in particular stood out.

Haha no, the boat crew, its commanders. This is the US military!

It's the East Bank I'd be worried about, not the West one, if were a neighbour there.

Ok, inside which borders?

They're going to take it this time, aren't they. See also southern Syria.

Once the effect of your precious 'international law' becomes the protection of a planet full of serial killing and mass murdering despots, is it still valid?

That's where we are.

We seem universally sure that the L/NP is dead. That's while it is in power in 2 of 6 states, 1 of 2 territories, and in Australia's 9th largest legislature (by budget), the Brisbane City Council, for over 20 years.

Perhaps soon also in Victoria. Twain comes to mind.

Submarines in the United States Navy - Wikipedia

It was certainly a *nuclear attack submarine*; that's the only kind the US has that would undertake this mission. First, read.

Breaking: Antibiotic licence for salmon farming revoked over 'unacceptable risk' The use of florfenicol in Tasmania's salmon industry has been banned as the country's veterinary medicine regulator suspends an emergency licence for the antibiotic.

Good. No concern was given for the impact on other marine species nor for human health. #politas

Was the US nuclear attack submarine that killed 100 Iranian sailors south of Sri Lanka yesterday operating out of HMAS Stirling, near Fremantle?

Are we completely sure Iran doesn't have any nukes? I wouldn't be. Simple ones are easy to make, but big and cumbersome; hard to deliver. Guess likelihood they have something deliverable is very low.

It seems to me to be widely abused.

(Yes it's a snapshot, but the main error seems to be in applying an historically-based, lifetime birthing age profile to that, when it may actually be shifting, rapidly.)

Good to hear someone point out the problems with the total fertility rate measure, especially in a young population undergoing rapid social change.

News Corp is essentially an AI β€˜input company’, chief executive says, after US$150m deal with Meta Chief executive Robert Thomson says he often speaks to both OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg

AI will be fed by the turd-flavoured offerings of NewsCorp. So you will gradually find AI offers you nothing but the opinions of the Right worldwide. If there was a single reason to destroy this system, here it is. #auspol #UKPolitics #News
