I'm unsure if this is a Guardian editorial policy but I find it odd in a piece on Trump's knee-jerk misogyny in the face of ongoing Epstein pressure that they have chosen not to name the two women reporters he insulted.
We know it was Catherine Lucey from Bloomberg and ABC's Mary Bruce. 1/2

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

pleasantly surprised that writing along to the soundtracks of city-building computer games like Age of Empires and Sierra's Pharaoh - games I played non-stop as a kid - unlocks some instinctual hyper-productivity that adulthood had buried

It's great to see the publication of the second paper from our "queer pollies" project exploring the social media harassment of LGBTQIA+ politicians during the 2022 Australian federal election.
It's also Open Access!

Just because the Trump administration frames this violence in an existential ideological divide (e.g. "real" Americans versus the radical left) it doesn't mean that news sources (particularly outside of the States!) should engage in the same rhetoric.

A bitter blame game is pushing the US towards the precipice
In a country with more guns than people, an increasingly violent and threatening public discourse is creating serious dangers.

if Trump can reframe an illegal invasion into a 50/50 scrap then every country with a significant security alliance with the states should be having a very close re-read of their agreement obligations. Is it in Pillar I or II? asking for a friend
Trump: People go into war and then they get their asses kicked and they lose their country, Nobody goes into a war thinking they're going to lose. I'm sure Ukraine thought they were going to win. You don’t go into a war that’s 15 times your size

In academia, we're expected to critically engage with available research, or to conduct our own, in order to substantiate an argument.
This is a deeply serious accusation that is not at all self-evident, and I would expect the ASECA to be held to similar standards.

Jumpscare for De Santis' nasal whine. Also, least of the issues in the 77 seconds of this clip, but why are there always three times as many flags and seals than necessary? Betsy Ross didn't throw the first brick for this.

With my sister in London and she’s filling out a local residence suggestion form for her street (requesting more pedestrian crossings). So why is “is your registered sex different to your sex at birth” the third question?

So interesting when the data is this stark - the Liberal party is running twice as many men than women in this election, and of the seats the women candidates are contesting, 84% are mostly unwinnable 🥲
Our new report, published yday, finds that fewer women than men are running in the upcoming election and they're more likely to be contesting 'glass cliff' seats that are difficult to win and precarious to hold

Running for parliament is still a man’s world, with fewer female candidates – especially in winnable seats
Almost half of candidates contesting this election are women. But for the major parties, women are still more likely to be picked for harder to win seats than men.
