World leaders have been trying to stay calm whilst seemingly on edge, after it was reported that new American President, Elon Musk, has been seen to be showing a lot of interest in Poland lately. ”They say those that do... Read More ›
Recently I learned that at Yale University a “Report of the Committee on Institutional Voice” was published a few months ago. The committee was chaired by professors “Della Rocca & Rodríguez” and so hereafter, I refer to the report as “Della Rocca & Rodríguez.” According to an accompanying editorial by these two lead authors in the Yale News, The […]
I’ve already said all I plan to (for now) about what’s happening in the US. But if others want to discuss it, here’s an open thread.
As city leaders, we’re stunned we’re losing thousands and thousands of residents who say they can’t build a life here. We don’t understand why they’re leaving, even after we’ve spent all our time in office making this city absolutely inhospitable to working people.
The building block of a comfortable life is housing, so we’re surprised to hear people struggle to find affordable homes. Maybe they’re not considering all of their options. Perhaps they could move to a cheaper, outer borough like the Bronx or Queens, or an outer-outer borough like Long Island, or an outer-space borough like our new colony on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede (six months’ rent required at signing).
Don’t limit yourself to movement on our three-dimensional plane. How about time-traveling back to 1987 to buy a dilapidated brownstone and then waiting forty years to cash out at the expense of the suckers who made the bad decision to be born after you? After all, that’s what every elected official did.
Australian Government cabinet papers from 30 years ago show that Australian leaders suspected that the claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were probably false. However, Australia committed troops because Australia wanted to ingratiate itself with the United States and was prepared to break international law to do so. This sets the standard for Continue reading »
On 6 December last year, a fire was lit in the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne. Considerable damage was done and one person was injured. A few days later, on 11 December there was a similar fire at a synagogue in Sydney. Anti-Israel graffiti was sprayed on walls and a car set alight (which the Continue reading »
Trump Two is the world’s big story – will he fly high and take the dollar aloft – or crash and fry? Whatever, he’s shading the sun from the right-wing blusterer next door who isn’t doing well after three months. Duncan Graham reports. Prabowo Subianto is a frightening and frightened man. Standing in a jeep Continue reading »
The Virginia University’s publication, Sabato’s Crystal Ball, recently published an interesting article about the recent voting performance of the various US states relative to the nation as a whole. The US approach is not directly transferable to Australia. Particularly because we have only eight states and territories compared to 50 states in the USA. In Continue reading »
Mulumehoderwa Balangalizi, also known as John Peter, was born in 1999 in the village of Kabumba, located in the Kanyola zone of Walungu District in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). For much of his early life, Kabumba was home to his family’s farmland and a mountain rich with minerals—resources that eventually brought turmoil to Continue reading »
The Israel-Hamas ceasefire has been all but universally welcomed but, as with all ceasefires, it will end, probably in failure. That problems with the agreement have surfaced before it was even implemented, in particular over the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, did not bode well for its longer term success. The first thing Continue reading »

Inspired by Chris’s recent photo-blogging post, I thought I’d share a less well known little gem about (the original) Ravenna: not a byzantine church interior full of mosaics, but the submerged crypt of an early medieval Church (the Basilica of San Francesco), populated by goldfish (and the inevitable coins thrown in for good luck). Incidentally, […]
