Indonesia's human rights activist Munir Said Thalib would have been 59 today. Twenty years after his murder, the architects of his killing remain free. Impunity still triumphs over justice.
Honestly one of my fav academic article titles ever:
βCritical aunty studies: an auntroductionβ by Kareem Khubchandani
www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Australia β case study 1 The Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) investigated a minor (who was 16 years at the time of offending) following initial reporting they were mobilising to commit an act of ideologically motivated violent extremism (IMVE). JCTTs exist in all states and territories of Australia and consist of the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the relevant State or Territory Police, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) and, in New South Wales (NSW), the NSW Crime Commission. The minor was part of a loosely connected online network involving hundreds of local and international participants, some of whom shared similar IMVE ideologies. The minor was sharing IMVE documents, images and videos, and advocating for attacks on persons of non-Caucasian appearance, and urged others to prepare for an upcoming race war to βdefend the white raceβ. This included discussing carrying out a mass killing offshore, posting about live-streaming a shooting on Facebook, requesting assistance in bomb-making, praising mass shooters, and suggesting the targeting of βhigh profile enemiesβ. During the JCTT investigation, the minor was observed to have very few real-world relationships which consisted primarily of work colleagues and family members. He did not participate in any extra-curricular activities and appeared to spend limited time socialising offline. The risk of the minor undertaking some form of physical attack was assessed as too great, so the AFP moved to overt resolution. The minor was charged with advocating terrorism and urging violence against members or groups. The arrest of the minor and dissemination of intelligence to international partners also led to the arrest of a person of interest offshore who had links to the minorβs Telegram posting. The minor was sentenced to an 18-month term of imprisonment with a non-parole period of 14 months. Upon sentence expiry, the minor was an adult and was released into the community on an Interim Control Orβ¦
The two Australian case studies in the Five Eyes release today about youth radicalisation are both white supremacist/far right radicalisation examples... The spy agencies tend to be a bit reluctant to call this out in isolation because of the politics around it. www.asio.gov.au/system/files...
It's rare to hear voices such as yours, 100% agree
In the words of Elmo of the other site, ... "Wow"
There is plenty of this in my field of study through outlets such as arts.unimelb.edu.au/asia-institu... or www.newmandala.org
I've contributed to both and both require clear accessible language
This is interesting and not something I considered from the optical bands perspective.
Have thought about this before in terms of radio bands, because RF transmissions (even the secret ones) have footprints that overlap with radio telescopes.
If receiver freq. is there, then so is encrypted data.
Australia changes its position to support a UN resolution demanding "Israel bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible".
Very rare for a poem to give me goosebumps like this one did

It's such a huge time sucker, and once you start attacking it the extent of it can be shocking. I've made a habit of putting my phone away when I get home from work for the few hours I get to share with my girls of an evening before bed
Is the generative AI bubble showing signs of cracks ? For me an AI-free social network is a feature, not a bug.
I like how Bluesky makes it possible to label AI content (example: @aimod.social ) and hope it gets better and stricter on AI-generated content detection.

Love Danny Brown! Saw him at a small/mid sized Melbourne venue ten years ago, he was brilliant but also a real nice dude. Definitely a good song to imagine a terse debate π
Earlier this week, my 3rd son, Levi, was 2years & 3months old, the same age Isaac was when he died.
From now on, my firstborn child is my youngest.
