How do we remain an advanced nation if people are afraid to do higher and further education?

Abolish the HECS system and cancel existing debts.

@stufromoz Maybe you could borrow MrMaxi for the next three weeks. I'm sure he'd enjoy the roads of Italy.

Lara Trump vows RNC will 'physically handle the ballots' in 2024 presidential election https://www.rawstory.com/lara-trump-rnc-2667862647/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Australian here, where we've always hand counted votes.

Let's remember if ballots had been hand counted in 2020, Al Gore would probably have been president.

Sorry for not being clearer, party scrutineers should be there, but shouldn't be out of the possession of a federal electoral commission [who also administered the electoral rolls].

Did I say I was Australian. ;)

PS Here voting is compulsory. Getting off the electoral rolls takes a Death Certificate or a Medical Certificate saying the voter is no longer compliant.

Israeli's siege-come-annexing of Gaza really is the physical manifestation of the Global North annexing part of the Global South.

The “great” thing about England is that when these articles come out and you google the person who wrote them it’s not something boring like “their dad is a trust fund manager” it’s “their dad is a baron, their grandfather edited the newspaper this appears in, and their family founded the private Bank of England”

Tory MP calls for "all wild animals" to be culled:

“Because if they don’t their health deteriorates. They don’t have any predators in today’s world. Foxes, deer, badgers. We don’t want to wipe them out, we just simply want them controlled.

“This is just pure common sense.”

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/richard-drax-beavers-badgers-cull-b2506916.html

(I think we could sensibly start by culling the implausibly-named Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax, MP. )

    Rejecting forced displacement has been Egyptian (and general Arab) policy since the 1960, when they realised Israel was using it generally as part of ethnic cleansing-genocidal policies.

    Sadly, when you google 'Mike Collins', Rep Collin's twitter account has displaced Michael Collins Apollo 11 astronaut's Wikipedia page as the first result. Hope this is temporary.

    He was on Twitter, as @AstroMikeCollins. His account has been removed, since his death at age 90, in 2021.

    OK, so. My kids have a habit of opening bags of corn chips, and then they go stale.

    Today it occurred to me, while staring into yet another partially full bag of stale corn chips: "Maybe I could put them in the for a few minutes?"

    Yes. Yes you can. Maybe this one of those obvious things that everyone knows about and I'd just missed the memo, but in case not...
