Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

Please stop suggesting that the Jewish community are a single entity that share a common view on Herzog. Many in the Jewish community oppose his actions and his visit.

Technically, it did drop below the opening price. I'm not saying @markhumphries.bsky.social caused this. I'll let the graph speak for itself.

Donate to Support for Washington Post international employees, organized by Michelle Lee Among the hundreds of journalists laid off by The Washington Post on … Michelle Lee needs your support for Support for Washington Post international employees

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Abolish the billionaire class:

Mr Albanese, perhaps ask yourself if we would have considered our Governor General apolitical if he or she signed a bomb that killed civilians?

Your suspicion was right.

Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations.

He’s betting we forget in two years.

In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.

Key Points

More than half of private schools in Australia now receive more funding per student than comparable public schools.

The funding gap per student is as large as $7,282, according to Australian Education Union data.

The public school funding shortfall from reaching 100 per cent of the resource standard is $4.3 billion in 2024.

I would love to see the references for your claim. Many "independent" schools receive FEDERAL funds, after Howard decided to pour cash into the sector. Instead of building gyms and classrooms, they built dedicated performance centres and indoor pools.

A cartoon by me
A sign says β€˜Welcome to Australia Mr Herzog’
Underneath Anthony Albanese is holding a box labelled β€˜jet fighter parts’ with a Made In Australia logo. He says β€˜it’s locally produced’
Herzog holds a bomb. He says β€˜I autographed this one’
On the side someone holds a sign that says β€˜Social Cohesion Yay!’

Every policy aiming to change behaviour will take time to show results. Judging it this early would be like judging the impact of seatbelts after only 3 months of them being compulsory in vehicles.
