The whole point of a public service is to have and stable body of apolitical expertise across administrations supplying fact-based advice. Not some crowd of paid shysters who'll report whatever line the current ministers want to push.

Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:
"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.
Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.
In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.
Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.
The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.
To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

Our infosec.exchange runs on an advanced version of Mastodon and the latest update had moved stuff around and is doing my brain in. I still can't trust what I see on my own timeline, as those two buttons still faze me, and the 'edit profile' shows bugger all. The non-bugger-all stuff hides (logically, I guess) behind a tiny set of cogs somewhere on the screen.

Now, I'm not entirely sure - although I did a brief test and it seemed confirmed - that the front sliding doors on our local Aldi are motion detector doors. And if you walk up to them they open but if you then stand still without going in, they close and stay closed.
Soooo... this morning an elderly woman walked up to the doors at 08:28 in keen anticipation. A crowd of patient shoppers stood back because the doors would open at the allotted time because, well, the woman was standing there. Right?
By 08:35 there was increasing foot-tapping and considerable grumbling. Then someone not-an-Aldi-customer walked by, completely incidentally, and the motion of them passing triggered the door, which had been unlocked 5 minutes ago and was waiting for, you know, MOTION 😀

Our house is beside Throsby Creek, a major watercourse that runs through Newcastle's central northern burbs. It's an old place and sits a good metre above ground. A new house was built opposite last year and I was interested to see that the concrete slab was built up to a little higher than our floor. We're in a 1/100 year flood zone. Some years back when the main street of Mayfield flooded into shops (a very rare event) our street was Dryzabone. Pensioners' insurance co wouldn't insure us for that. But Alliance couldn't give a shit - until the moment arrives and I'm sure they'll pull some obscure gotcha.

Back in the sixties we moved to inner Newcastle - New Lambton, to be precise - and the house next door was - wait for it.... - bright lolly pink!! Turned out to be an old Pommie couple (Mr and Ms Moss) and lovely people. She was so typically English, and he too. The back yard was 90% chrysanthemums, while the garage was chock full of budgies. He was a breeder. Their old white cockatoo had their English accent and learned to mimic her. At random times it screeched "Harry, coom an 'uv a coopa tae" by cause of which he spent many unnecessary trips to the house.
oh, I digress 😀 yes, pink....

From a post of mine just now:
...Despite the fact Bowen has been holding daily news conference briefings updating on fuel availability, and has often been joined by Albanese in spelling out initiatives to address fuel security, the Coalition accuses the government of a lack of “transparency”. It’s a favourite theme of Angus Taylor’s. One Labor insider believes Taylor is widely missing the mark. His critique is “waffle for I don’t know”.

My second choice is the sourdough pizza bases. They're at least thickish, and work well. The 'spicy potato' topping is just potato and sweet potato mashed to very lumpy with any old assortment of spices thrown in, plus whatever makes it slightly hot (chili flakes maybe). Then some cheese on top, or even plus a layer of slices under the potato, as it's rather moist. So simple but delish.

Of topic, but it follows.
I'm in the category of never having received an inheritance, despite many 'comfortable' relatives. My parents, however, received several. Including a beautiful brick and slate house at Eastwood in Sydney. They blew it all on overseas holidays. Yet I can't begrudge them. They lived through the depression and the angst of WW2, then battled to old age in small business that was far from lucrative, including being bankrupted by a contracting arsehole.
Still, life has been both good and easy for me as a result of their struggle. (Chapter 2 of my life story tomorrow 😀 )

I dislike the thin crust bases, and it's so hard to find a thick one. Not into the trouble of making my own dough, as I'm not that great a pizza fan. Probably because the commercial ones are so gross. However, taking my cue from the local Turkish pide/pida shop, my fav topping is spicy potato with cheese melt. And lucky to find frozen Papa Giuseppe's rising crust, when it's on special. Nice and thick and bready 🙂

I too am being followed by "Tim" and am amongst the privileged ten thousand 😀 Amused to see Tim apologised that he might be upsetting us 😶

Chose the naughty option, because it seems to be the go with our neighbours. They also manage to slam the vehicle door in a single session at least 2 or 3 times the number of doors on the vehicle. Yet to determine exactly why. One of life's mysteries I guess.

I was able to read this from the newsletter link. Hope you can too.
And YEP! Exactly what's pissing off #Labor supporters...

As awful as war machinery is, still in awe of this fearsome aircraft. The redundancy extends to the pilot's metal 'bathtub' of protection. Interested, like all, to see what downed it.

Aldi's 1L choc ice cream is the best bargain, but their 'triple pack' policy means it sells out first and we have to wait for the other two to sell before they'll restock. At least, that's how it works at our local.

Maate, ice cream and chips 💕
But to restrain myself, I only order when they're on special aka half price:

There's a joke about that, it goes something like a house painter is told to paint the outside, inluding the porch at the back. On his way there, the first thing he sees is a Porsche...

That time The Kumas had Patrick Stewart as a guest on their TV show and asked him why the Enterprise starship, with all that IT, didn't have an Indian crew member 😀

The last I watched was Challenger and remember everyone at the launch site cheering when it blew up (70 second in). And the cheering slowly became howling and horror as they realised what they'd seen happen. And cheered.

Yeah, I can't watch anymore, having seen too many explode in our lifetime.

I'll need to suspend schadenfreude, as it would now apply to me as well. I fear Hormuz is shut for the foreseeable, and the Iranian Guard are in a state of permanently pissed totally off.

Your 8 minute tutorial on why the Persian Gulf is gone, possibly forever. If Israel can't eliminate Hamas by completely erasing Gaza, does the US think it can eliminate the IRGC from a country of 90 million?

Our wonderful old kelpie cocker cross looked miserable but ran around the place normally. One day she had terrible runs, took to vet who declared massive cancer in tummy. Agreed to put her down on the spot. She was in extreme silent doggy pain.
Only when she slipped away did the tears flow, catching me by surprise, struck by what a history the two of us had enjoyed. I can understand them, but...
Here's the poor thing around that time.
