Question for all the academics who will read this: do you think of PhD supervision as 'teaching' or 'research'? Why? Please pick one; it's for workload allocation purposes. Please also tell me relevant details like continent, discipline, lab model or no, grant-funded or no. Thanks so much!

Guided missile warheads???
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

This week, the UK government is proposing a ban on pornography that depicts strangulation. Much of the left is handwringing about it. But as Lucy and @drmeljohnston.bsky.social explain, “the left can’t have its whores and politics too.”

Someone will need to explain to me the logic of deregulating minimum fees in rates for solar in Victoria as incentivising more competitive rates?

"On Wednesday, LA city councilor Hugo Soto-Martinez said in a video posted to Instagram that ICE had shown up at a confidential domestic violence shelter, apparently in search of one person who was not present." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
LA's ICE raids are impacting domestic violence shelters
These programs "should be safe sanctuaries—and we can't even guarantee that anymore."

Day trip to Canberra and I’m greeted this morning at the airport cafe with the below sentiment.
To quote @drmeljohnston.bsky.social - “the revolution will be caffeinated.”

Anti-feminism is an prevalent political attitude in Australia. Violent anti-feminism is supported by nearly 20% of Australian men.
Needless to say, recognising our country’s problem with femicide does not amount to a “war on men”

Is Peter Dutton aware that women... can vote?
In 2022, Scott Morrison made bungled, offensive comments about women. Three years later, Peter Dutton is just ignoring women altogether.

This little piggy: We're mapping this election's pork-barrelling
Australia's two major party leaders are feeling generous, hugging babies and making local promises worth hundreds of millions. We're mapping them (not the babies).

“The American people, they expect action. And that is what they’re getting. And they’ll get the exact same attitude under a Peter Dutton government.”

Peter Dutton has had a poor start to his campaign. Donald Trump might be about to make it a lot worse.
Dutton has flirted pathetically with Trump. On 'liberation day', the honeymoon is over.
