I'm not sure. It's hard to deny Russia is adapting, look at drones. Admittedly they are mainly copying Ukraine. Mick Ryan @warinthefuture.bsky.social wouldn't repost something shit.

That said, it doesn't go into economic, social, and political angles that will help crush Russia.

Slava Ukraini!

Charlie Kirk complexity.

Never wished him dead.

Think his murder was 100% wrong.

Think the world is a better place without him in it.

I love puppies.

RFK Jr, a prominent anti-vaxxer, adds five anti vaxxers to the federal committee that decides when people should get vaccinated.

LOL, China rejects a call to NATO and G7. Does China know they’re not in either?

I can’t believe how well they washed out all that character!

Save for the occasional use of cocaine he had no vices...

Seems to me the vast majority of political violence in the US is coming from the White House.

I need "Find my Phone", but for my coffee.

While I think generalised AI is still a long way off, we will have to face the zombie problem sooner or later. If there is no way to tell whether an AI is conscious it seems we’d be morally obliged to treat it as such…

But then, I don’t believe in human free will, so…. 🤷‍♂️

I’ll be so disappointed if it turns out to be planetoid x.

Why would the FBI need to open an office in Australia? Can't they just ask their CIA buddies stationed in their Embassy/consulates?

Door. St Peters. Tempting.

Voted for that. Don’t think The Saints are going to make it though…

I must be so old I’ve forgotten it…

Sadly, Bluesky probably means self selection bias.

I’d assume most people came here already disgusted with MAGA and the GOP.

If only it were indicative of the whole USA!

The 80s were the low point of 20th century music. Discuss.

And sure, there were standouts. Queen. Prince. Bowie.

But in general…

Oh my god Sydney... What have you done to beautiful roundabouts?

It’s been years since I dived. But I always loved nudis.

Brilliant name for a paper!

I can't help but wonder if the progressive left, decrying Israel's taking out Iran's military power, know any Iranians...?

That said, ironically, we do have a king. Kind of.

Meanwhile, in Australia.

Australians on Trump: dumb, dangerous and dishonest A global survey shows Australians have some of the most negative attitudes in the world towards the US president.

I feel relieved when Australians, as a people, get things right:

"Australians have little confidence in Trump as a world leader, with 77 per cent saying they had none or very little in the president."

Health secretary RFK Jr. abruptly fires CDC vaccine advisory panel Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken the extraordinary step of firing the expert panel that advises the CDC.

America has always had its problems, in addition to its brilliance, but it's still sad to watch it flush itself down the shitter.

To be fair: she works for Channel 9, so it doesn't really count as journalism.

I've used Amazon's Mechanical Turk for a few things. Shame **I** never thought of faking an AI :)

Just in: Trump calls Musk a “poo-poo stinky head farty face”. Awaiting Musk’s response.
