Sometimes the classes were taken outside to sit under trees. I vaguely recall that in primary school (1960s Melbourne). Not sure I can remember that happening in high school.

Dinosaur Footprint Found in Brisbane Belonged to John Howard, Palaeontologists Confirm
A footprint discovered in Brisbane this week is believed to be that of John Howard, created during his formative years in student politics 230 million years ago.
“This is when Howard would have been forming his view of the world and testing out his ideas. It’s a fascinating and historically significant discovery,” Palaeontologist Jim Burtongi said
He said the footprint shows no evidence of lateral movement, suggesting the creature responsible stood firmly in one place for an extended period while the world evolved around it.
“We found an etching nearby that read ‘everything was better before the meteor’. That’s when we thought it might belong to Howard,” Burtongi said.
Nearby sediment revealed other fossilised artefacts consistent with Howard, including what is believed to be an early version of the WorkChoices pamphlet etched onto stone, as well as a speech warning that granting rights to other species would ‘undermine traditional values’.
Historians say the discovery helps contextualise Howard’s later discomfort with modern Australia.
“If you accept that he formed his worldview before flowering plants, it explains a lot,” political historian Dr Tim Nguyen said.

When I worked in the US the welcome lady fascist came around and gave me a gift and welcomed me into the community and all the fascists were very friendly.
It should be noted that the exchange of biometric data idea was from the Biden administration, back in 2022.
I’m glad I went to the US to study the San Andreas Fault and associated strike-slip basins, and the overall sedimentology of tectonically active areas when I did.
Hopefully they will return to some form of sensible normality some time soon.
fknel it’s almost as if nobody’s read Hannah Arendt oh no if they’re fascists they have to be orcs

We have some very interesting geology here. Similar stuff, similar scale: Peel Fault and Manning Group.
The real difference for me was that the Californian tectonic system is very active, so the exposure is excellent in many places. The exposure in the Ridge Basin from the Violin Breccia through to basinal mudstones approaches 100% in a creek cross-section of the basin. It’s amazing. I had thought that their geologists were so much more brilliant than me, but it’s the exposure that counts. The Violin Breccia is the unit that originally demonstrated strike-slip displacement along the San Gabriel Fault. It nailed the whole concept down. The source rocks were 40 km away, but the breccia was in situ – it had not been transported in a water-borne system. JC (John) Crowell was the first to properly solve the anomaly, and used the analogy of a coal-loader where the train is filled truck-by-truck as it goes by.
Our systems are much less active (note: not completely inactive), so the exposure is poor, and much more difficult to interpret.
FWIW
Newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case contain multiple references to former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who denies ever meeting or having direct contact with the convicted sex offender. The 3.5 million documents also include damning photographs of Prince Andrew and allegations involving Microsoft founder Bill Gates, with US Democrats continuing to pursue unredacted files and testimony.

All that Hannah meant was to not think that evil people are different from you.
They’re exactly like you. And like me.
Then they’re persuaded (rarely ordered, almost always persuaded) that it’s ok to do things they wouldn’t have previously considered.
And exactly the same could happen to you and me.
Most of the psephology heads are not onto it yet but Dr Kev Bonham has started including polling averages for One Nation v Labor on his website.
Looks as though ON has made up a bit of ground there.
Antony Green has also analysed the easiest seats for One Nation to pick up

The government estimates it could generate nearly $2 billion, which would be redirected back into the ADF. “This is an important step to take because right now we are spending a lot of money on properties that we fundamentally don’t use,” Marles says on Channel Seven. “We simply cannot continue to spend money securing property that we don’t use, and this has been put in the too-hard basket for a very long time,” he says.

The foreign minister says the government is working through whether to join US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace. New Zealand says it will not be joining the Board of Peace, which has been set up oversee the ceasefire in Gaza. Penny Wong says the Australian government is seeking more information about what the US intends to do with the Board of Peace. “Obviously, one of the issues that we are interested in is the peace plan for Gaza,” Wong tells ABC Radio National Breakfast. “It is so important after what we have seen over the last two years that we work towards peace and the objective that we’ve been really clear about, which is a peace and security for both Palestinians and Israelis and two states.”

“Kids are just using their parents’ accounts.”
“You can still watch YouTube if you’re not logged in.” and similarly, “he just logs in as ‘guest’ so we can’t track what he watches now.”
“It’s working, my local parks and skate parks have never been busier.” (Also note a increase in footage of teens on e-scooters wreaking havoc in parks etc.)

NSW govt defines social media as
“Social media refers to social media sites, applications, tools and platforms that provide users with online infrastructure and resources to connect and communicate and exchange content or information online” so by that definition, leaving comments on a news article could be social media.

I’ve always assume social media for teenagers is mostly a modernised version of popularity
The popular kids win and the less popular or different ones lose or get bullied.
Its nothing new except its reach and distribution.
A lot nastier as AI allows also sorts of fake photos to be created.

True though it is, it doesn’t make it not mind numbingly stupid.
Opponents of the Albanese government have jumped on the rate hike as evidence of the government’s poor economic management. They are blaming the government’s high levels of spending for inflation picking up pace.
