Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Today on #RemembranceDay, I am thinking about the amazing soldiers I had the privilege to serve with over 35 years in the Army. I am also thinking about the previous generations who served, suffered and sacrificed so much for our freedoms. Lest we forget.

I quote Ortega y Gassett in the Death of Expertise - and in a piece I have coming tomorrow about Musk and Trump
I'm no longer certain we can use universities as any yardstick here.
Perhaps we should look at Ortega's "The Revolt of the Masses." He seems to have witnessed an inverted society where the capable were demoted & the incapable took charge--leaving destruction as the limit of their imagination.

Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"
Cassidy was honestly the one that signaled for me these Senators think they are in real fucking danger. Collins and Tillis have jello for spines. Ernst probably got strong armed

Well done, to the Finnish authorities! A resolute action in the middle of the Christmas holidays. That’s how we increase the cost of sabotage and other hybrid activities. With strength.
So far the Finnish reaction to the latest undersea cable damage has been excellent:
- Finnish authorities stopped the suspected saboteur Eagle S and directed it to Finnish territorial waters for investigation
- police and border guard boarded ship and took control
- 3km no fly zone around the ship
