This is a very cool thing. Annabel Sutherland is the first woman to score a test century at the Melbourne #Cricket Ground, and they've already put her name up on the honour board, just like they would for a man who scores a century. No fuss, no controversy, no separate board for the ladies. Classy.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

I will continue to teach about these heroes, including in my current WW2 class, as was on the syllabus long before Trump tried to suppress these histories.
The Air Force will no longer teach its recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen, Black pioneer pilots honored for their service during World War II. Also halted, teaching the history of Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, the female World War II pilots who were essential in ferrying warplanes…

Can we get people to focus on the fact that Greenlanders have EU status (which is kinda valuable) and that 90% of Greenlanders are indigenous Inuits??
No, they don’t “want to be with us.” This is straight up imperialist menace and a prelude to war with Denmark. A nightmare.

On Greenland: “I think we’re going to have it. I think the people want to be with us,” President Trump tells reporters on AF1. “I don’t really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it’d be a very unfriendly act if they didn’t allow that to happen because it’s for the protection of the free world.”

Just to be clear, Australian law definitely doesn’t say we need to blur Nazi salutes in news reports come on, folks.
The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

Who gets the benefit of the doubt?A teenager tagged by cops as a gang member b/c he shops at a particular bodega or wears the wrong color? A Black man the NYPD decides is “furtively walking”? OR a white man from apartheid S.A. who posts antisemitic/racist stereotypes & endorses the Nazi adjacent 1/

Apparently, some people are trying to dismiss this behaviour as a "Roman salute".
