Still as good a way to pop off as any.

After six years at the front, here is what nobody tells you about being a woman at war This May will mark six years since I put on a military uniform and began serving in the same marine infantry unit — first as a combat medic in a reconnaissance platoon, and now as a strike drone operator. I have witnessed three distinct forms of war: the forgotten trench war, the large-scale war of maneuver, and the drone war. Over that time, after many combat operations and losses, much has changed within me. It is gratifying to see how attitudes toward women in the military have shifted duri

Come on Mr Murdoch, weigh in on the $20 barrel.

Hewy @albomp.bsky.social - see this?

It's called leadership. #auspol

Yeah, the AIs have been arguing about just how much squeezing a pair of balls can take and get on it.

These "frozen in liquid nitrogen" freaks have clearly failed to foresee that'll they'll be fed through a woodchipper prior to anything.

Might be pretty common. My father outsourced everything to his second wife, couldn't believe his self-indulgent luck. My sister, on the other hand, outsources it all to her (male) partner. I do my own and help with anyone asking for it. I think wanting someone else to organise one's life a bit sad.

It is not extra interesting when Americans incinerate children, it’s just another belligerent power committing more war crimes, and it ought to be treated as such

A good ayran should be salty and sour, but not too much. But you’re right, a pathetic paucity.

Subtweet: car dependent neighbourhoods are a systemic societal problem, but buying a giant Yanktank that does 15mpg instead of a Yaris that does 60mpg is a dickhead lifestyle choice for dickheads, and anyone suffering from high fuel prices as a result is suffering far less than they deserve

In fairness that’s a _lot_ of wars, so no excuses!

Plenty of mercenaries in Napoleon's armies. And sometimes they changed sides. But yes, the Grand Armee and the Royal Navy officer corps were more meritocratic than preceding equivalents.

Enjoy it while it lasts, because they're the worst business in the history of business (with respect to profitability and any prospect thereof).

so many people do not understand that the US was kicked out of Iraq by Iran.

Reminds me of Swift’s Modest Proposal.

So much of that excess funding goes into marketing. I mean, private schools are, in essence, marketing scams, and the more olympic pools, ski field campuses, and scholarship-stacked champion sporting teams the better to attract well-heeled and shallow-as-fuck parents (problem is always parents).

Looing forward to the Kuwaiti airforce also saying they love their AI targeting...

The difference is almost precisely the NSW government's own funding input (~10 billion). While funding matters a lot, would caution against falling into the (pro-private school) trap of assuming outcomes go directly with funding (very little is known about actual outcomes - it's hard to measure).

Remember when these clowns boasted of "setting the agenda"?

Education spending (private) is such an easy election promise to make. Plugs right into the “hey, be anxious about this thing! And here’s the solution!” usual MO for pollies. But as ever with so many bad policies, only measuring inputs…

Public ed is good for social cohesion. Public funding for religious private schools divides us.
It's extremely depressing how our system & pol leaders encourage a belief that sending your kids to private, esp "Christian" schools gives them a better future. We need pride & investment in public ed
