Aus should have started reindustrialising at least a generation ago, says @PeterZeihan. Now it wants to be a green energy superpower. Is 2024 a year of renewal or a reckoning for 21st C Aus industry?

Really incisive piece - again - from @bariweiss. It’s time to wake up from this DEI propaganda era.

This is a recording of a phone call from inside Gaza about the failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad which hit the hospital. Don't let Hamas and Islamic Jihad spread their lies. Share this.

Great and wise words from Jobs! Love also how he really thought hard, first, before answering what sounded like a fairly straightforward question. Jobs’s insight and experience here is plentiful, but to me the takeaway is understanding complexity of people, process and materials.
