OK, I’ve just heard a PowerPoint slide with _lots_ of text (not mine !) being described as ‘a German slide’, and I’m totally going with that.

What, you mean they didn't manage to enforce the Australian government's wishful thinking ? I am _shocked_, just utterly shocked, people. 😱
It's almost as if literally everyone with even a smidgin of knowledge about the subject said that this was the inevitable outcome. 😒

Amid so much bland journalism, this is a strong and concerning summary of the current state of the Iran war by Laura Tingle, with some characteristically blunt assessments from German Defence Minister Boris Pastorius.

😒 So Australia's Smartraveller site of travel safety information blocks your browser if you hit it too frequently with requests – say if your university's travel risk assessment form requires you to insert the Smartraveller URL of the country advice for each location you're visiting. <chef's kiss>

Still struggling for words, except these:
To all my friends in the US: much sympathy and love, and strength for the months and years to come. 💔
To everyone else: let’s renew the fight against fascism in all its forms wherever we see it rear its head in our own countries. ✊
