It's really poor form that Stuff never discloses that info about their ‘foreign interference experts’ (i.e. that they work with organisations funded by the US/Aus govts & defence contractors), while trying to make insinuations about others potentially becoming ‘assets’ of another country.

In all the talk about UnitedHealth, there's been one missing discussion: its primary partner in Medicare and Medicare Advantage, which leverages its massive audience to steer to the insurer, is AARP. This never gets enough attention. Bob Kuttner shines the light:

Student loan borrowers aged 50 and up took to the Department of Education this afternoon and held a "Knit-In" for student debt cancellation.
They brought their sewing kits and yarn and sat outside the Department of Education while demanding debt relief before they die.

The public reaction to this crime brings to mind the 1977 Indianapolis case of Tony Kiritsis who took a mortgage banker hostage for 63 hours by wiring a shotgun to the mortgage banker’s head.

This guy should go for a jury trial if they charge him, judging by the reaction to his arrest he's got a pretty good chance of getting off.

Two Very Different Manhattan Murder Investigations
The NYPD spent countless hours and resources searching for a CEO’s killer, but has made little evident progress on the fatal stabbing of a migrant teen.

I'm surprised and disappointed that this question isn't the most popular post on Bluesky. Bravo, @postquantum.bsky.social. 👏👏👏
If you've come to Bluesky because you wanted something better than the billionaires have given us, then you need to listen to Cory Doctorow on this fundamental issue.

Is it nice to make those jokes? Not particularly. But we live in a society that has trained us not to expect compassion when misfortune befalls us, only ruinous bills, corporate indifference, and disrespect. To demand a performance of niceties from those denied the barest humanity is grotesque.
