OMFG. An AI notes summary: “Mr Smith is an 84-year-old man who lives alone & has a complex medical history, no care package & poor mobility.”

Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C. The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.

Fuck racist & disrespectful Trump for moving Obama’s Presidential Portrait to an unused White House hallway.

Latham in front of a NSW Parliament logo Caption: Angry young man self-destructs into angry old man ... Mark Latham. [From article]

Useful primer for those too young to remember when Mark Latham, protegé of Whitlam, was considered Labor's next great thing.

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe
