(Not me) Official video from David McBride’s Official Youtube channel. If you don’t know who he is - I don’t blame you, with how little coverage this story has gotten
McBride’s intention was not to leak to expose war crimes, it was to show how troops were being unnecessarily hounded by legal etc , ie ‘over-zealous” investigations of special forces’
The ABC discovered war crimes in the leaks and went down that path.
Now McBride looks like the hero being victimised for exposing the war crimes.

Luckily, in the article, the caption underneath the pictures told me which one was actually a photo of Gina, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to tell…
This also brings another phrase to mind. It’s usually an American term, but I fear that we are inevitably heading to our own ‘trailer park trash’. And by this I don’t mean the trash is the people.
The ‘trash’ -no,tragedy- is that the housing situation is so fubar that we’ll end up using caravans and temporary accommodation as stoogaps for shortages. And,.once it’s established as a substitute for housing, it will never be replaced. Because it’s cheaper.
Some years ago, I remember reading posts (can’t remember where I saw them) from a guy who lived out if his car in Sydney.
He was doing it by choice to save money to get an apartment. He had a job, but didn’t want to waste money on rent. He covered a lot of tips and tricks, and answered heaps of questions. Eg a little heater for cold night, membership for 24hr gym so you could shower/ exercise, best places to park etc…
What struck me the most, was I started out thinking the guy was crazy, but ended up admiring him and thinking maybe he was the only sane one. I often think about this when I see homeless stories, and wonder what I would do if I lost my home.
This is just a side story though, and this guy (and I) had many advantages that other homeless people don’t.
Being homeless is no joke, and we shouldn’t have a society where people don’t have basic shelter.
Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I...
I remember reading a while ago that with medical and technical advances over the next 50 years, they reckoned that some people born now will be able to effectively live forever, eg replacing or regenerating body parts, cure cancer etc etc
I’d need to think for a while about if you could, would you want to live forever? I vaguely remember a sci fi short story that had this question as part one of it’s themes.
