The company is unethical, and anyone who bets on medical outcomes is immoral.

To me, the analogue hands are an image that I recognise rather than text I have to interpret. Horses for courses, I guess.

@hellomiakoda

Yes, back in the '80s.

The trouble is, from my perspective, that being inattentive (the original ADD) is seen, by people who only know of ADHD with its hyperactivity, as simply being uninterested, forgetful, or bored.

Having a touch of the 'tism and being a lifelong fidget (stimming), doesn't help with people's perception of me.

You know, not all of us have ADHD.

Some of us have plain old ADD. 🥲

With no clue what that actually entails.

Australia.
Eggs Benedict with bacon.

How is this not resulting in an immediate referral to The Hague?

Outright murder by a national military.

There was, and still is, no declared war between the USA and Iran, the Iranian ship was unarmed and defenceless, no succour was offered for survivors, and the action took place in international waters.

This action was every bit as bad as the attack on Pearl Harbour.

The USA is a rogue, pariah state run by a Congress and Executive who are criminals.

USA = United Stasi of Amerikkka.

The Stasi tactics are exactly what the Amerikkkan police state wants to use. Hell, what some departments are already using.

> It was one of the most repressive police organisations in the world, infiltrating almost every aspect of life in East Germany, using torture, intimidation, and a vast network of informants to crush dissent.
- Wikipedia

> Known as "the shield and the sword of the party", the Stasi locked up opponents of the regime. Officers tortured prisoners by isolating them, depriving them of sleep and using psychological tricks such as threatening to arrest relatives.
- Wikipedia

Guess who was a KGB liason officer, working out of Dresden? Yep. Donald J. Trump's bestest pal.

Jack Smith, one of very few truly principled men prominent in the US at the moment. His deposition was balanced and without bluster.

**The USA military is mucking around with GNSS¹ over Venezuela.**

On Friday, 21 November 2025, the US FAA issued a security NOTAM cautioning civil aircraft operators about potential dangers in Venezuelan airspace. The FAA says the NOTAM is the result of increased GNSS interference in Venezuelan airspace and military drills beginning in September. US operators must now provide 72 hours prior notice to the FAA before flying through Venezuela.

Lake George (near Canberra, Australia) has filled quite nicely, thanks to the higher-than-normal rainfall in the region over the past month.

It will, of course, drain back to its normal dry state soon.

Still it makes for a pretty picture, even on a cold, overcast day.

George Santos, that darling of chameleons everywhere, has finally been thrown in gaol (jail).

Not for his defrauding of the American voters to become a Congressperson though; nly for defrauding people out ofntheir money to support his preferred lifestyle.

The defence wanted 2 years, but the judge gave him 7 (87 months) followed by 2 years of supervised release. George has indicated previously that if he went to gaol (jail) he wanted to be in solitary - he might be regretting that request now.

He spent the time leading up to sentencing claiming the trial was a "witch hunt", etc, which didn't help his claim that he was sorry and regretted his action at the sentencing hearing.

Daughter, PhD student in Australia and member of PhD student groups involving folks all around the world, has been warned (as have all the others) not to travel to or even via the USA for conferences without scrubbing ALL social media and private info (e-mail, etc).

This is government advice, not just students talking to students.

The world is going to have to align around the USA, rather than with it.

"President Trump is a candidate who is not afraid of hearing from new, loud and often critical voices, and I think we all can agree, whether people like him or they don't like him, in light of what happened to him on Saturday, he has proven to be one tough S.O.B.," O'Brien said.

That Sean O'Brien? 🙄

@BLTpizza

Yeah, the union is great, but O'Brien is a numbskull who thought sucking up to Trump (while slamming big corporations) would protect his members.

Well, that didn't take long.

We had a similar thing start down here in Australia, that was thankfully stomped on.
