Lando Norris would rather defend against Oscar Piastri than try to win a race, because the only way he's ever winning the WDC is with the clear fastest car and a clear 2nd driver. #F1 #formula1 #JapaneseGP

Fanduel running an ad about gambling being an intrusive and obstructive thought is next level normalizing.

Since I understand #australia is pausing funds to #UNHCR while investigating atrocities by #Hamas in #Israel should I assume Australia is also pausing military aid to Israel while atrocities are investigated in #Gaza?

(If I am indeed missing some #nuance , please be gentle.)

I need someone to give me a side by side of the Wagner PI call that extended the ridiculously long and flagged Dallas drive, vs the tackle on Seattle's 3rd and 5 attempt down 3.

#Formula1 racing down the Las Vegas Strip is the biggest let down in spectacle I've ever experienced. Between the high safety fences, scaffolding for lights and advertisements on the track and pedestrian bridges I feel like 90% of the lights iconic lights are obscured.

If the entire point of the #LasVegasGrandPrix is to have a race down the strip then they've really mucked that up. Although I guess that's just on brand for the whole thing.

This encapsulates quite well how I feel about my #Chiefs #NFL fandom. So trivial in the face of nearly impossible real-world problems that it’s sometimes embarrassing.

“Universities are being run like profit-hungry corporations when they fundamentally need to be about serving the public good. You can trace so many of these issues back to the completely broken governance models universities are operating under.”

University strikes and the profit motive

In September 2016, John Dawkins wrote to the eight most prestigious universities in Australia and declared his 1987 reforms in the sector were outdated and in need of “major renovation”. Dawkins had been education minister in the Hawke government before becoming Paul Keating’s treasurer. His prescription was more of what he helped unlock the first time around: increased competition and efficiency, “price signals” to manipulate students into particular fields and even deregulation full stop.

Albanese makes a good point, The National party spokesperson for indigenous affairs is herself indigenous. Apparently the National party position is for Australians to hear what an indigenous person has to say is best, for indigenous Australians. Even so the National party is campaigning against the voice referendum.
It seems what the actual National party position is, is hypocrisy and opportunism.

I plan to #VoteYes because that aligns me with the overwhelming majority of Indigenous people.

The people who were consulted, for many years; who designed this #VoiceTreatyTruth process; the people who designed this constitutional amendment now.

They want an #IndigenousVoice, there's been plenty of investigation of the risks and the benefits, and the case is clear.

I'm not going to tell the overwhelming majority of Indigenous people consulted, that I know better than them on what they need. I will #VoteYes.

“Crowe suggested the identities of the big donors to the “No” side undermined the “calculated myth” that “Yes” was supported by the “elites”. He also noted Advance’s stated tactic of instructing its volunteers to use fear and doubt rather than facts to defeat the Voice.”

The libertarian think tank that helped build the ‘No’ case

If the Voice referendum produces a “No” next Saturday, expect a slew of conservative players lining up to claim credit. Yet one organisation that has arguably been most influential will not be trumpeting its success.
