Self driving cars are coming, ready or not.
They still seem eerie & unnatural but will eventually be a boon for octogenarians & people with disabilities, especially in rural & remote areas.
Medical testing for fitness to drive is an annual reminder that our agency is both conditional & contingent.

It's increasingly clear that Trump intends to surrender 20% of Ukraine to Putin. He is coercing Zelensky to agree; a 1930s approach to realpolitik.
How could this be allowed to happen in 2025?

Re Maugean Skate: Yours is an invidious task balancing competing interests & values. So far the balance favours corporate interests. Labor's pledge of no new extinctions is more honoured in the breach. Take an opportunity to favour nature over capital.

Artistic renditions & remains of Akhenaten's grandfather, father & offspring also unusual morphologies associated with congenital conditions. The elongated facial features, enlarged breasts & pot belly have been subjects of much scientific speculation. Skull KV55, Egypt Museum may be his.

American military forces now have a clear choice:
Do they defend the Constitution or obey the President.
They cannot do both.

Australian banks still fund fossil fuels. ANZ is the worst. Despite its "pledge" <1.5ºC it has bankrolled the ff industry by over $12.6 billion since 2021.
The Government's capture by these industries makes well funded civil class actions an imperative in the fight to mitigate global warming.

A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements...
But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things..”
