In 2009, this was the mask of a UK SAS character in “Call of Duty.” By 2015 it was de rigeur among Iraqi government commandos and Shiite militiamen. In 2018, in “Sicario 2,” it was what CIA surrogate characters wore to disguise themselves as cartel gunmen.
Now US law enforcement wears it.

In 2015 Australia wasn't too far way from its own version (precursor) of ICE.
Operation Fortitude was a joint Aust Border Force/Vic Police operation to crackdown on "antisocial behaviour" and "visa fraud".
Only a leaked press release and strong public outcry/protest prevented it.

As we enter the Yuletide season, this is my annual reminder to all of you that Ted Kotcheff’s WAKE IN FRIGHT (1971) is a Christmas film.

They call themselves Binary Australia but all I’m seeing is zeros…

Not really a hot take but generational discourse is only good for light ribbing of withered remnants and gormless saplings, anyone who treats their age bracket as a meaningful political category is wasting their own time

Convincing, until you try and count the wine glasses on the bar or inquire into the number and arrangement of the bartender’s fingers.
But when people already fall for obvious slop (or crude photoshops back in the day) I guess that’s plenty.

To the extent that this echange deserves reflection, it speaks to Johnson’s painfully tryhard effort to make TLJ a Morally Serious Star Wars Movie. I disagree with Sean but that scene is a jarring introduction of the extremities of war into a setting that hasn’t built up any real sense of it.

Incorrect, Kennedy shot Oswald.
Today is the 62nd anniversary of JFK being assassinated by a trained marksman firing a close and unobstructed volley of shots at a slow-moving and unprotected car, hitting a target who could not physically move. RIP, President Kennedy.

There doesn’t seem to be reporting yet on what this means. But I assume it’s not good.

When I was a kid, I used to believe "there's no way private cars would be allowed if they were introduced today and people saw the rate of accidents/deaths", watching these stories pile up is like a giant slowly-but-steadily unfurling banner that reads "think again, buddy'

you mean the geniuses behind the Electoral College?
The American framers and thinkers of that time were so well versed in Roman history and the dynamics that led republics to perpetual dictatorship -- this generation more likely to think the problem with Caesar is that the buffet is overpriced
