"Buried in the messages between National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other cabinet members is a horrible demonstration of narrative engineering.

"While the legacy media fixates on ‘classified information’, the real story is actually not the incompetence of these people but instead how they casually discussed spinning the bombing of Yemen—an already battered and famine-ravaged nation—into a palatable story for the American and global public. Let’s have a look":

I have been saying for decades, for as long as I have been involved in the industry that the IT industry needed to establish #standards of #ethics and #professionalism regarding #privacy, #security, and data #integrity, equal to those of the licensed professions (medicine, law, architecture/engineering, etc), and that if the IT industry did not do so, it would be detrimental not just to the industry, but to the public, and to the progress and adoption of technologies. We need a data priesthood.

Controversial video posted online embroils two NSW nurses over alleged antisemitism: abc.net.au/news/2025-02-12/nsw

A great reminder about the value of the Hippocratic-esque oaths and value statements that reflect ‘Universal human rights’, in the health system.

And a disappointing lack of charismatic leadership from Political and Administrative leaders.
It’s easy to express ‘disgust, horror, shock, etc’. Somehow it’s ‘hard’ for leaders to talk about universal rights and why it matters.
