Can they sanction the European companies whose parts are found in missiles and drones as well? eg Czech PBS engines & Bosch fuel pumps etc?

Disappointing, that you won’t be integrating functionality as this will be required for Australians to access to social media from Dec 10 2025
While childish, It’s like someone turning up to negotiate a peace deal about a war with Israel wearing a swastika. They are sending a clear message to Russians and those in the lands they used to occupy.
@zerohanger.bsky.social @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social I wonder are the #AFL getting nervous with #NRL live and free to air on a Saturday night in VIC & TAS meanwhile all AFL games are behind paywalls. Guessing sponsors on 9/Win will be raking it as sports fans switch over. Where r u #carltonfc ??

Definitely should build that stadium. Just think of the kids. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Interesting how both labor and liberal have committed to sort out the budget but are both also committed to building an entirely unnecessary stadium which is guaranteed to make things worse. Can’t get more Tasmanian than that.
So seats in which AFL stadium and high performance centre were to be built the most popular candidates are anti-stadium. Labor failed to listen to in these electorates and chose to shoot itself in the foot instead with its uniparty ticket with the Liberal, Winter has no clue about politics 🤦
Declines seem to align with school holidays, suggesting schools a key source of spread. PS Tasmanian school holidays later than mainland ?
3. ... changes in cognition that are *too subtle for the volunteer to be metacognitively aware of*' *my emphasis. A growing percentage of the global population with cognitive dysfunction that they are not aware of will insidiously change human society. /end
I wonder if actuaries/insurers are noticing this for insurances whose risks are increased by cognitive impairment (car, directors, legal & medical malpractice etc)
The final preliminary hearing for the Children & Young People’s module was today, CVF, again, made the case for safety. Children's deaths *would* have been higher if many Clinically Vulnerable families had not kept their children away from schools. ⚠️Long thread 1/
@michaelwestbiz.bsky.social AI summaries are killing online news revenue
Crimea is Ukraine, even the psycho midget himself has signed treaties to say so. Fact : Free and fair elections don’t exist on territories of, or occupied by Moscovy. #NAFO
I don’t think the Florida court was held at gun point by Igor Girkin & his band of FSB thugs. The psychopath midget’s statement was far from ignored by Senator McCain and those who knew that post-Yeltsin the KGB had taken over the Kremlin.
Another double-wave seems increasingly likely in Australia, as we saw in late 2023 to early 2024. The EG.5.* "Eris" wave was built upon by JN.1.* "Pirola". This scenario raises the risk of rapid reinfections, for those relying on immunity from a recent infection. 🧵
Overseas companies that continue to pay minimal tax in Australia which in turn puts them gives them a competitive advantage over Australian companies. 🤷♂️

Its proposed location is literally at one of the worst traffic bottlenecks during peak times. The need to have a roof means it’s huge relative to the heritage buildings. Its cost is probably the biggest issue given the parlous state of the hospital!
Further evidence that suggests regular vaccination reduces risk of Long Covid. Personally, this is why I get vaccinated every six months. On a societal level, making vaccination widely available would reduce population prevalence of Long Covid. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/lon...
#Longcovid has now surpassed Asthma as a leading cause of illness in the US. Over 6 million now impacted. Between 10-20% of children have been harmed by #COVID reinfections and still there is no action from governments. When will children’s health come first?? jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Obvious consequence is that Lottery becomes as addictive as pokies!
Implications for civilian & non-military critical infrastructure, imminently vulnerable to determined drone operators bent on destruction.
Implications go far beyond military targets as the price of such an attack is minuscule & needs only a small number of people - It’s a wake up call for western security forces/govts that any target military/civilian/critical infrastructure with a nearby road within FPV range is vulnerable now.
Could the widespread availability & increased use of multi-antigen test kits by health authorities lead to an increase in detections? We had a household hit last week but this would not be reflected officially. A great tool to be able to reduce spread to the vulnerable.

It’s my birthday. I’m 44. I feel deeply happy. That feels extraordinary - after 22 years with ME, and now 17 days in hospital with post-Covid microvascular failure. What I’m going through feels otherworldly. But it’s common. Not rare. We must take ME and Long Covid seriously!

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently claimed that the majority of people in Ukraine's Russian-occupied territories had participated in referendums and "indicated that they want to be under Russian rule." Witkoff's claim is false in many ways.
When I was baby KGB agent we'd spend years digging tunnels, tapping phone lines & honey trapping civil servants to get 2% of what team trump incompetently send to a journalist.
Correction We (the current US administration and various pseudo academics*)…
Meanwhile, electoral commission officials were doing house calls – “politely” asking people to vote, while masked men with guns stood behind them.
Absolutely agree with Amb. Fried that this is very damaging - to the US's credibility and national interest. But the idea that this will damage the US position in talks with Russia suggests that these are genuine negotiations. I really don't think they are. 🧵
5/ The assertion that the "overwhelming majority" of Ukrainians living under Russian occupation want to be under Russian control is also demonstrably false. isw.pub/UkrWar032225

Last month I did a little experiment. I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky. The results were...interesting... [Thread]
Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.
SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1927...

Trump will sure as hell claim he saved the lives of the non-encircled troops after his appeal to Putin it’s a post-truth world now

Fair bit of swearing round the office when I shared this graph yesterday www.theguardian.com/business/gro...
Always remember--this is not a case of Trump appeasing Putin--its actually him joining Putin. Its not Munich 1938, its the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939.
Watch Maddow’s breakdown of what’s happening & who benefits, USA is deliberately & urgently disarming itself against the influence of malicious foreign actors. Why? youtu.be/Zn9BTALjtLY?...

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.
Democracies stand with Ukraine.
The situation didn't just escalate. Vance escalated it in a pre-meditated way - for a MAGA audience, and to impress Trump. He was completely in control when he did it. An act of accomplished bullying.

The incidence of COVID hospitalizations is down, but COVID has not gone away, anywhere. The risk of Long COVID is between 4 and 14% with each infection episode. 5 years on, COVID remains NZ’s most important infectious disease – it still demands a strong response theconversation.com/5-years-on-c...

Serious study in Nature Medicine. More evidence of COVID's impact on cognition/memory/accelerated dementia, with a recurring theme - accelerated ageing of organs (kidney, heart, lungs immune system) that @zalaly.bsky.social & others have described. A good reason to reduce infection rates.
This denialism of the impact of long covid is crazy.
