Australia use to do this from the early 70s (Whitlam gov't) until the mid 80s, when Reaganomics arrived.

In the now, it's actually a prerequisite to staying an advanced nation.

PS: from an indie Federal MP. This would include study allowances.

Joking aside, that's what happened in the UK when I went to college in 1970. Not paid exactly but I got free tuition, free lodging, 3 meals a day and a grant that covered books, materials etc. And some beer and cigarettes. It wasn't luxury but poor students could live decently and have a little fun. It was like that because the government recognised that society needed more college educated professionals so it had to pay to get them.

Add this to the long list of Jews being censored for being critical of Israel and for having the decency of listening to Palestinians. In so many spaces today they give themselves the permission to tell Jews how they must behave and what their politics ought to be.

Ginni Thomas out here proving, yet again, the urgent need for Supreme Court reform. ‘Shackelford said he saw Thomas’ support as evidence that judges, who “can’t go out into the political sphere and fight,” were thankful for First Liberty’s work to block Supreme Court reform.’ propublica.org/article/ginni-t…

CIA chief: The new Gaza ceasefire plan will be presented in more detail in the coming days


It's finally time to make some hard choices and some difficult compromises.


Who does he thinkwhe is fooling?

This disgusting shit show pretending that they are interested in "ceasefire" while they are the ones keeping Israeli war machine running with unlimited supply of weapons and massive military support.

They honestly think the world is just stupid and believe that Israel will stop their ongoing genocide when Hamas releases the kidnapped Israelise?

They want us to ignore everything Israeli leaders saying and doing and "trust" these disgusting criminals and professional liars?

They don't even have the courage to condemn the cold blooded murder of an American citizen, how the hell would anyone think they give a rats aas about the 2 million Palestinian hostages in Gaza?

Successfully migrated two CentOS Stream 8 (which is EOL since May 31) VPS to Alma Linux 8 today using the migration tool (wiki.almalinux.org/documentati…) and then upgraded them to Alma EL9 using ELevate (almalinux.org/de/elevate/)

I would have considered CentOS Stream 9 but there doesn’t seem to be an easy or supported upgrade path from Stream 8 to 9 according to the documentation.

So far, I couldn’t see any problems and the systems are running perfectly fine. But I’ll keep the snapshots for at least 72 hours. Just in case as one is my mail server and a little critical for my family 😅

In the Netherlands not only do they have huge banks of EV chargers at most service stations, they’ve started replacing fuel pumps with fast chargers that’ll have you on 80% before you’ve popped in to use the bathroom and come back with a coffee. #ElectricVehicles

The irony of the image linking to more-than-likely-corporation accounts on massive ultra-rich corporate social media.

I do agree with the sentiment of the picture however.

This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for and/or dreading.
I’m now on Bandcamp with 4 songs (so far). Check them out here!
chubster.bandcamp.com

This includes my #fedivision2024 entry “That’s Life” (tidied up and polished), “Test-Tube Baby” - a folkabilly romp through the tribulations of being conceived without sex 😃, “Everything Else” - a psychedelic rock something-or-other, & an old one I recorded with my band in the 80s.
Enjoy!

I’ve been running this path under this tree all season. With autumn approaching it was the first time it didn’t have leaves. So I got to see this “interesting” feature that’s been just several feet above my head. Yikes! #running
