Trump has been saying for weeks that the Iranian military has been entirely destroyed.
So how was the mission to rescue the F-15 pilot one of the most daring in history?
With no enemy capacity it would have just been a basic passenger ride in and out.
Weird.
Shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED.
Confidential report found former home affairs boss Michael Pezzullo was ‘reckless’
The entire world's experience of the Internet being largely dictated by a crucial but imperfect 30 year old American law is, to say the least, a challenge.
Can you have child safety and Section 230, too?
You should read some excellent words from Tim Hollo about the words you aren't allowed to use. You have to forgive the bad pun title, he is always like this.
Globalise the how's-your-father
Scott Morrison was such a control freak that he secretly appointed himself as a Minister for 6 additional portfolios when he was PM, but he did not have any responsibility for Robodebt when he was just the Minister in charge of it. OK.
Charity organisations using AI to generate realistic images of people in crisis significantly damage the trust the public has in them. There isn't much research across other sectors as yet, but I suspect it plays out similarly.

150 years ago today Alexander Graham Bell made the first successful voice telephone call.
That someone you love that you haven’t talked to in too long? Give them a call today imo.
That he isn't more frequently referred to as
'the Andrew formerly known as Prince'
has been a constant source of disappointment to me, but this helps a lot.
Oh hell yeah
Imagine if Bob Katter was born 40 years later. What a magnificently insane poster he’d be.
Read this imo
I find it incredibly difficult to write about my Jewishness. I didn't want to write this, but I did.
We need to re-embrace complexity and nuance in thinking about and discussing the Jewish future.
On the teen social media ban; landing even a tiny regulatory slap on the big platforms is an opportunity. But the government may have inadvertantly created an opening for exploitation of the kids they're trying to protect

Yeah maybe. Depends who I end up sledging I guess.
His "somewhat successful" funding cuts have already killed over half a million people, and they are projected to kill 14 million people. Imagine how many millions of lives he could've ended if he'd achieved all he hoped for.

I feel compelled to write some feelpinions about the social media ban, except like everyone else my age I stopped blogging over a decade ago, I don't substack, and I haven't submitted to an actual publication in years, so, I guess its... Facebook?
Nothing more unAustralian than prolonged whinging about English whinging. Tell the poms to have a cry about it, point to the scoreboard, laugh, and get on with your life. #ashes
I’ve no doubt putting these reasoned and rational takes to the Barmy Army will have them reconsidering their views and welcoming Smith to the crease with polite applause.
I’ve heard two different Australian commentators sulking about the BA booing Steve Smith. The barmy army are tedious, for sure, but Smith was caught in the biggest cheating scandal in years and then rewarded with the captaincy. What the fuck do those commentators expect? #ashes
Larry Summers opens a lecture to his Harvard class with an acknowledgment of his appearance in the Epstein files. This timeline is so weird.

BREAKING: Marshall Islands becomes the first country to launch a Universal Basic Income program. Every resident (about 33,000 people) will receive $200 every 3 months. This works out to being about 11% of GDP per capita. If the US did that same percentage, the UBI would be about $770/mo.
capitalise the middle ss you coward
Do the DNA test Elon you coward
Again, it is unbelievable that this man is permitted to walk free after causing the deaths of potentially millions of people. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...
In fact the only people worse to leave in charge of tech would be tech companies. So everything will turn out fine.
