Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

🇸🇩 SUDAN | 9 people were killed and 17 injured, including medical staff, after RSF forces shelled a military Hospital in Dilling and nearby civilian areas south of the hospital, in South Kordofan state on Sunday, the Sudan Doctors Network said. The medical monitor noted that the strikes constitute a deliberate attack on a medical facility and civilians, in violation of international humanitarian law, while condemning RSF’s systematic targeting of health institutions. According to Ayin Network, RSF and SPLM-N forces are tightening their grip on the region, cutting key routes to El Obeid as food supplies run in Kadugli and Dilling run out. An estimated 40% of Kadugli’s population faces acute hunger, the UN reports 63,000 children are malnourished. Ayin Network reported markets barely function and healthcare has collapsed. The Doctors Network called for urgent international action to protect civilians, secure humanitarian access, and lift the siege on South Kordofan, where Human Rights Watch warned last week that a mass atrocity on the scale of El Fasher, where some 60,000 were killed in three weeks in late October, could unfold without serious international intervention. 🗺️ Map from Critical Threats (thread linked below): See new posts Conversation Sudan Doctors Network - شبكة أطباء السودان @SDN154 Sudan Doctors Network: 9 killed and 17 injured, including medical staff, as a result of RSF drone shelling on South Kordofan State Nine people were killed and 17 others injured, including medical personnel, as a result of deliberate artillery shelling by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeting Al-Dilling Military Hospital and a number of civilian locations today, including the Al-Kargal and Al-Samasim areas south of Dilling. This constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, which criminalizes the targeting of medical facilities and civilians. The Sudan Doctors Network strongly condemns this systematic targeting of health institutions and healthcare workers, and holds the RSF leadership fully responsible for these crimes and their grave humanitarian and health consequences. The Network calls on the international community, as well as human rights and humanitarian organizations, to take urgent action to protect civilians and medical facilities, ensure unimpeded access for humanitarian aid, and lift the siege on South Kordofan State. It also urges increased pressure on RSF leaders responsible for these deliberate violations. Sudan Doctors Network

I love the point @marisakabas.bsky.social makes about jumping to the head of the line by doing sensational “journalism” with questionable ethics. This has been a thing in sports media for a long time, as management thinks hiring influencers is the key to getting any more clicks.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying
