I stayed at this caravan park. It’s not on the grey nomad migration routes so it relies on big weekend events like Easter. So sad to see it struggling, but a lot of the places I really like are the same. #travel https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-03/fuel-crisis-hits-small-towns-like-foster-ripple-effects/106469842?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other

I was only 4 but this is reminiscent of the Suez crisis
“The 1956 Suez Crisis was a pivotal Cold War conflict sparked when Egyptian President Nasser nationalized the British-French-owned Suez Canal, prompting a secret tripartite invasion by Israel, Britain, and France. Intense diplomatic and economic pressure from the USA and USSR forced a withdrawal, marking the end of Britain as a top-tier superpower and accelerating decolonization.” (Wikipedia). We are witnessing the complete humiliation of the US. Any sensible country would have changed leadership by this point. #iranwar #auspol

"It is China who will pop this bubble by dumping free AI on the US market. OpenAI and the rest will not be able to compete commercially with higher priced offerings of what is essentially the same AI service. They will not live up to their hyperbolic promises. And tariffs can do nothing about that because it doesn’t come through ports; it arrives over the Internet in bits."

2025-07-23T04:38:53Z

the problem with establishing alliances on the basis of "shared values" is that it ignores the much more solid "shared interests". We may feel more comfortable with US culture, but in reality we don't have many shared interests with the US. There is little trade between the two countries.

We should base alliances on the much more solid foundation of shared interests. China and Australia both have a very strong interest in keeping shipping lanes open in the west pacific,. We both want a world with fair trade, free from tariffs. These are more substantial than a shared interest in Hollywood movies or a nostalgia for a US that is long gone #auspol

If you are wondering how this ends, when a country completely loses it's moral compass.

Population outflow from Israel is very strong, and (AP news) significant amongst young professionals 20-39.

Capital outflows: since October 7, 2023, capital flight from Israel has surged by 62%

Drop in Foreign Investment: In the first quarter of 2024, foreign investments in Israel's tech sector dropped by 55%, reflecting a significant withdrawal by foreign investors.
