Among great privileges of a reporter's life was sitting at the desk and in the office preserved for posterity at an academy outside Berlin where Einstein's genius resulted in the Theory of Relativity.
100 years ago today — on July 9, 1925 — Einstein presented his paper on "Unified Field Theory of Gravitation and Electricity" to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. This is his handwritten draft. For full article in English translation see:.

Roll call AUKUS boosters. Christopher Pyne, Joe Hockey, Arthur Sinodinos, Scott Morrison et al. Then there's Kim Beazley 'adviser' to Lockheed Martin, plus the Labor lobbying shop chaired by Stephen Conroy aligned factionally with Mr Marles. All lobbying should be recorded QED.
Transparency is critical to public trust in government, yet lobbyists have special access to parliament and policy makers behind closed doors. Most interactions are in good faith, but just the perception of undue influence is damaging.

Next in Michigan go to GM car museum in Flint, birthplace of GM, and marvel how far US automakers were ahead of the world, and how far they've slipped back 🚘.
On June 30, 1953, the first Chevrolet Corvette, America's iconic sports car, rolled off the line in Flint, Michigan. Only 300 were hand-built that year, featuring a fiberglass body & 150-hp engine. Originally $3,250, pristine 1953 models now fetch $300,000-$400,000+.

Tell me this is not inflationary, and I'll sell you a bridge 👇.
US President Donald Trump said he would impose a 50% tariff on imported copper and soon introduce long-threatened levies on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, broadening his trade war that has rattled markets worldwide

Trump tariffs not being applied to Australian expatriate @JustinWolfers Yet!.
Is it Tariff Tuesday or Taco Tuesday? Trump’s trade threats often sizzle, then fold like a soft-shell. But this time I fear, he might’ve actually meant it.

Mr Trump's war on the media. Respect for journalists operating in this sort of intimidatory environment to which we are told we 'must' grovel to 😑.
Trump turns to the assembled press and says of CNN's Natasha Bertrand: "You ought to fire that reporter. Immediately. You should fire her. Real fake . the media has to straighten out their act . I think changes are gonna be made to the media."

Justin Wolfers may have 'defected', but doing so to some effect, gotta say 😑.
Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Japan because they didn't strike a deal. But. Japan's chief trade negotiator was in DC for talks and couldn't get a meeting with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He delayed his departure for 24 hours, hoping, but Bessent never made time for him.

One solution infestation of AUKUS-driven armaments industry lobbyists in Canberra is to require publication by law of ALL interactions between ministers, and ministers' staff with these carpetbaggers. See report #thecentreforpublicintegrity

Reminder William the Conqueror entered the world 1000 years ago and did lot of things including commissioning the Domesday Book, forerunner of the modern census #historymatters as tertiary institutions slice back their history departments. Looking at you ANU.
The King begins his speech in French and notes how his son, The Prince of Wales shares the same name as William the Conqueror, and how fitting it is therefore that he’s made Windsor his home.
