More than 350 U.S. service members have been injured since military action against Iran began in February. The majority of those are traumatic brain injuries. TBIs have become the defining injury of post 9/11 conflicts, and the symptoms can often linger for years, or even a lifetime.

I love this man🫡
Nearly 4 years fighting for Ukraine
Lied to, let down, abused, ridiculed, death threats
He is a living symbol of the indestructible
Spirit of freedom & the embodiment of courage
President Zelenskyy & Ukrainians have
Shown the world what real courage is 💪✌️
“The failure to cease this moment & bring about a ceasefire…is a failure of leadership. He [Pres Biden] has not been very effective because he has not withheld arms” tells me Mary Robinson, Fmr. Irish President, Fmr. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights & Chair @TheElders
Management is more than an organisational function. It is a vital capability for all institutions & the foundation of societal progress. The Peter Drucker Society has launched an initiative called "Next Management" – a call to action to reframe management for the disruptive challenges ahead. It sets out seven shifts to enable management to act as a stronger force for good for individuals, organisations & society as a whole: https://t.co/uyOT4iHqay. Via @rstraub46.

Awkward...but
thank goodness we've still got an Auditor-General!
Just have to hope his position is safe. Otherwise I'm sure this CoC will be super keen to disestablish it post-haste!

Afghan women are the most persecuted population in the world, silently suffering under the gender apartheid regime imposed by the Taliban, which bans them from education, work, free movement, and even the right to show their face and voice.

It's Janet Frame's 100th birthday today. I once asked her if it was strange going on the set of the Jane Campion movie and meeting the three versions of herself. Oh, that was fine, she said. It was very strange meeting dad again though.

Quoting the great - Maya Angelou ‘people remember how you made them feel!’
'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'
Nick Cave.
