Stupid drug policy leads to stupid foreign policy. It keeps happening. Fentanyl isn't a weapon. It is not a poisoning risk to anyone except those who deliberately ingest fentanyl or drugs laced with fentanyl. It does not come from Venezuela.

So rather than let people use their government to negotiate for them and take advantage of not just the size of their consumer base but also the implicit military and legal might it possesses, we should instead be forced to pay a middle man a rentier fee to do the same job but worse?

I feel for the other children of the Reiners.
They've lost their parents and their brother in a terrible way.
I'm not sure how you can even process that.

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.

Bird murmurations are complex collective behaviors.
Each bird coordinates its movement based solely on the actions of its approximately 7 closest neighbours.
The flock maintains a delicate balance between order and chaos. If it becomes too rigid or too chaotic, the formation breaks apart.

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

Rob Reiner had one of the greatest movie runs in history.
Look at these classics.
5 in a row.
Doesn't even include This is Spinal Tap. The Sure Thing was between Spinal Tap and Stand By Me, and was a fine movie.
Huge talent. And now it's appearing to be a homicide.

Weird to go to bed reading about the Brown shooting. Waking up to news about the Bondi Beach shooting and to be heading to bed reading that Rob Reiner and his wife were apparently stabbed to death.
I hope everyone affected finds some kind of peace.
