TRYING TO FLIP” THE BOAT MEANS THE BOAT WAS CAPSIZED AND THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED IN THE WATER.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Our latest Journal Club episode featured the paper "A marine soundscape anthropause: Covid-19 lockdown impacts on soundscape composition, vessel traffic, and dolphin acoustic presence in Port Phillip Bay" by Amber Crittenden et al. which is a topic we've been interested in since 2020.

Ahhhhmazing!!! I had stem cell therapy for a torn bicep and rotator cuff. I couldn’t lift my arm away from my body more than a few inches without severe pain and had a huge loss in range of motion…I fully recovered and have full range of motion again! Seriously mind blowing goodness 👏😽

That's fantastic. Imagine where we would be today had George w Bush not injected politics into medicine and imposed severe restrictions on stem cell research.
It's a reminder of what future damage Trump is doing today on medical research.

Jim Chalmers adjusted long term economic targets in the 2023 Intergenerational report. Bravely he is overseeing an economy which will slow inexorably for 40 years. Popn growth is one issue, and all MPs are now lowering immigration and growth.

All the Treasury and RBA leaders have been quietly overseeing a long term decline in Australia’s GDP. Why? What’s wrong with growth? Why not allow the economy to grow at 4% or so. Grow the pie? Our Govts fail us. @albomp.bsky.social

A pretty shameful oversight that at last night’s Walkley Awards there was no mention of the record numbers of journalists who have been murdered by the IDF over the past year.

Lots of posts about "no win for Zelenskyy" or "question Zelenskyy's sanity" which seem to be more about denegrating him than posting facts.
Zelenskyy wants peace, but NOT with trump's/kremlin's "plan". He has not accepted that plan at all.
Ukraine will not give up teritory, russia must.
