BREAKING: MAGA world melts down as Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde calls Donald Trump out directly to his face during a sermon at the National Cathedral — urging him to find compassion and mercy. This is the last thing Trump expected today... "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives," the reverend said as Trump sat in the pews. She said that millions of Americans "put their trust in you." "The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," she added. Destroying Republicans lies about migrants, she said that those workers "pay taxes" and are "faithful members" of American churches, mosques, synagogues, and mosques. Appealing to empathy that Trump lacks, she said that the children of those migrants "fear their parents are going to be taken away." "Find compassion," she added, urging him to help vulnerable people fleeing from war zones and persecution — a tall ask for a man as demonstrably anti-refugee as Trump. Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that a real Christian president would heed the reverend's words — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

@johnqgoh Hope you're doing the VR experience - it is sooo good

Catching metro into city and with a short walk to the Australian Museum.

The circle of life! Many years ago my grandson said “if you survive, you might teach me at university.” 😂 I have survived 😅 and retired. But he has accepted an offer for LLB BCII 🥹

Adam tells the audience the badge includes Pi to 40 decimal places. No reaction from audience and he says “tough audience” 😂😂😂

MC Adam Spencer is wearing a Pi badge at #eurekaprizes where can I get one?

Congratulations Dr Jiao Jiao Li from @UTSEngage - winner of the Emerging Leader in Science #eurekaprizes

Odd print run of the @smh today. Duplicates of some pages, others missing?

@DALupton I incurred the wrath of a GP last year by asking her to wear face protection when doing a PCR on me. I had only light symptoms and RAT was negative but was seeing an immuno-compromised relative and didnt want to take any chances. She grudgingly complied. I was positive.

@michaelcollins Thank you! Wonderful for her

Around 10 minutes 45 seconds in.

@antonyjfunnell - just letting you know the link to the Prevention through Intervention seems to be broken at abc.net.au/listen/program…

Congratulations to the @UTSEngage winners of the #eureka2023 award for “Outstanding Science in safeguarding Australia”

@igordownunder @CCguerilla When early reports of this 'trend' emerged, I looked closely at the UTS course mix. I found that 2/3 of UG degrees are either a requirement for registration (eg Law, Accounting) or a professional body existed where there were specific requirement (incl holding a degree).

now thats interesting! job ads that dont require a degree up 90%. Are #universities redundant? what degrees should we offer to be relevant? maybe scrap it and just offer internship/experience? fortune.com/2023/08/15/lin… @CCguerilla @SAlexander_Aus

My response to Q from teenage grandsons on The Voice. ‘Imagine Mum and Dad considering changing your schools and seek your views. They take those into account and decide to either change schools or not.’ That is what I think the Voice is about - both recognition and consultation

When asked her views on The Voice she responded that she thought Aboriginal people have a voice, but listening is the problem. Suggested it be renamed The Ears

Wonderful storytelling by @auntybrendamatthews about her experiences being removed from Aboriginal family at two and a half, placed with a loving white family, and then returned to her Aboriginal family. How to make sense of where she belonged? thelastdaughter.com.au

@GeorginaBC 😂

@SAlexander_Aus You? 😂💪🏽❤️

Microcredentials on p2 of the Herald! Who could have predicted that?

@ShanWareing Did you see the large collaborative theatres? My pride and joy :)

@SAlexander_Aus A much brighter morning today! Lovely to finally see & admire UTS in real life Shirley after seeing it in presentations by you!

Well you have to, don’t you?

Congratulations to @janehunter01 and @doncarter07 on the launch of their new podcast series “Talking Teachers” with a range of perspectives. Terrific resource for teachers, parents, and those interested in the future of education. uts.edu.au/about/faculty-…
