Soccer has always been defined by free-flowing, unbroken action. But for the World Cup in America, FIFA is using “hydration breaks” to shoehorn in commercials. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4aNS3YQ
A picture says a thousand words. Shout out to Victorian medical scientists, hospital pharmacists, psychologists, and allied health staff fighting for fair pay. ✊

Love what the Australian soccer team says about modern Australia. Seriously, watch this video, and you'll be cheering for them too.

This is beyond ridiculous.
And yet FIFA is silent while fans, players, staff, officials are denied entry to play in, work in, or watch their own World Cup.
Crazy times.
Award-winning Somali referee Omar Artan, set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup, was denied entry to the United States, a sports ministry official told AFP on Monday u.afp.com/SDH9
Not an obscure theological spat..a central moral argument. Do the people building the technology get to set its ethical limits? Or do the rest of us – workers, citizens, parliaments, churches, unions.. get a say? Will human oversight and human empathy prevail? 👍@TonySheldonNSW

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

"Rebajar impuestos a los ricos conduce a una mayor desigualdad tanto en el corto como en el medio plazo, sin ningĂşn efecto en el crecimiento econĂłmico o el desempleo"
Extraordinary listening to Angus portray immigrants as radicals, talk deportations and “values” while pushing more coal-fired power and a fossil fuel agenda. This may be the worst economic policy agenda put forward by an alternative government in 30 years.

NTEU members in the ACT supported by many more around the country have fought so long to expose the governance crisis at the ANU. We have achieved so much but I am still shocked by some of what is still being revealed about Bell and Bishop’s tenure.

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

Good morning, world! 🌎
We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.
ALT One-third of Earth peeking through the window of the Orion capsule. The planet is a dreamy pale blue, swirling with white clouds and reflected sunlight. Although Earth only fills a fraction of the image it is the brightest object in the image by far. The capsule window is surrounded by a thick frame held in place with bolts, reminiscent of a heavy duty airplane window. It is dark in the capsule, but the outlines of straps and various components of the capsule are visible. Brighter white components are visible in the upper right corner. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman
In every crisis, health and community services workers are asked to take on disproportionate costs, and take on greater risk. Essential workers must be supported to do their jobs. HSU is calling for practical supports to be implemented right now. @Lloyd_W_ #healthworkers
