Will the Intelligence Review bring DIO into the light? | David Schaefer https://t.co/MEWjM5f3Fh

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

Basically my view is this: right now, the vast majority of voters are getting either some or all of their political information from a giant unregulated ambient media ecosystem, which only really shows them ideas that will excite or anger them, largely free of any fact-checking

[Ishaan Tharoor @ishaantharoor]

The worst, absolute worst phenomenon generated by this website is the emergence of weird yet influential grifters who make sweeping, unserious claims about history and culture that then compel everyone else to engage said claim as if it merits any consideration. An endless spiral of numbing, bludgeoning idiocy

[Andrew Defty @adefty]

Meanwhile on @BBCBreakfast they’re interviewing Colin “Chief Puzzler” at GCHQ who is standing behind a giant puzzle so as not to appear on screen.

Potentially seismic change here

[The Record From Recorded Future News @TheRecord_Media]

Advisers contributing to Trump’s transition effort are readying a plan to split up the leadership of U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, potentially soon after he assumes office, according to people familiar with the discussions. https://t.co/In0h7vCSKr

[Edward Wong @ewong]

The cyberespionage operation by China known as Salt Typhoon is much more significant than the spy balloon of early 2023. It's not even close. US officials familiar with the intelligence are stunned. Yet the spy balloon gripped millions of Americans for weeks, and this hasn't.

[Nick Schifrin @nickschifrin]

Neuberger said the only solution to both kick out Chinese hackers and prevent them from returning was to require the telecommunications companies and internet service providers to meet minimum cybersecurity security practices. Today, those practices are optional. If the companies put in place minimum practices, the senior official said, “that would make it far riskier, harder, and costlier for the Chinese to gain access, and maintain access.”

This is pure Russian propaganda

The bankers have chosen a new Treasury Secretary

[Chris Taylor @StatecraftINT]

My submission to the 2024 review highlighted that DIG's creation (incorporating DIO and AGO), along with that of Home Affairs, reflected a broader reassertion of portfolios over an idealised community integration after 2017/18. https://t.co/CIgqX8TZT2

WSJ tweeted this to its 20 million followers and it has under 400 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “Elon Musk has secretly been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022”

On this day 15 years ago, PM Kevin Rudd gave a speech foreshadowing the creation of @NSC_ANU. It's worth revisiting the case he made, an idea ahead of its time. The College opened a year later and we look forward to marking our 15th birthday in 2025! https://t.co/ocf5rj6ki1
