But when I saw it today, all I could see were its beauty and importance. The setting, the amazing people pinning on those rank slides, the wonderful people I know are just out of shot cheering. And yes, the lampshade, because it proves how far we’ve come and what women can do.

I look like a lampshade in the maternity uniform and I used to hate this photo because of that.

This is not how I had imagined this important milestone would look.

This is me, at the end of my squadron command, 6 months pregnant and being promoted to Group Captain - the first female pilot in RAAF history to make that rank - by one of my mentors and my husband, in front of my beloved squadron and our magnificent aircraft, the P3 Orion.

They say a picture tells a thousand words - and this one definitely does.

I found it unexpectedly today while in search of another image and it stopped me in my tracks.

Smiling pregnant woman in military uniform being promoted by another woman and a man, who are both putting new rank slides onto her shirt, in front of an aircraft.

This morning there is one Nobel Peace Prize winner, 8.1 billion or so people who did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, and one Nobel Peace Prize loser.

It's worth adding that Hamit Coskun is an asylum seeker - what Jenrick would call 'an illegal immigrant' - and one who has self-evidently 'got into trouble with the law in our country'.

But to Jenrick, Coskun is clearly the right sort of 'illegal immigrant' in the right sort of trouble.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

I love this also because broken windows theory was just a dumb ass magazine article. I read it in a class and I was shocked it wasn't even like a paper. It was just an article on the Atlantic! And we know about how dumb those can be!

lol, here's some incredible college football content. In the hype video Oregon posted after Penn State, Dan Lanning lectures his team on broken windows theory, but it's pro-breaking windows.

"Each time we get a stop on defense, that's a broken window." www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwSH...

a screencap of Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning standing in front of a projector screen displaying a slideshow. The current slide has a headline "BROKEN WINDOWS THEORY."

I love that he starts out being unable to choose between “we’re going to break all their windows” and “we’re going to cut a bitch” before settling on option 2

Also the edits for the crowd shots are absolutely merciless

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.
