Happy #WhiskersWednesday to you! We hope you have a beautiful day! Pax is looking around, trying to see what mischief she can get herself into today.

Make no mistake, calls for de-escalation are about preventing those who use any pretext for conflict as an excuse to massively extend the boundaries of war. For oligarchy, for empire, and the ideology of those who have outlived their intellectual usefulness to civilisation.

It is a machine of greed, that by necessity must be confounded at every opportunity in its every aim, so that nations can outgrow this veiled and toxic model of hegemonic empire that retards our development as a species..

Unbelievable. https://www.comicsands.com/simone-biles-wsj-wrong-photo-2665871874.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

In a May 24, 2022 SCOTUS ruling, INNOCENCE IS NOT ENOUGH TO STAY an EXECUTION.

Disturbing talk on Morning Joe, with two congressmen threatening to cut off federal aid to universities that do not 'crack down' on students' speech re Palestine & Israel. I'm not supporting what the particular students say; neither do I support such threats against speech.

Talk about a wimpy Associated Press headline: "North Carolina Republicans enact election changes over Democratic governor's vetoes" --

The "election changes" are among the most blatant voter suppression laws in the nation, designed to ensure Republican control indefinitely. Sheesh.

Come on, journalists, do better.

New in PN: “Trump has just one goal in his two federal criminal cases: push them off until after Nov 2024, so he can either pardon himself or instruct the DOJ to drop the charges. 

That’s all you need to know about his legal strategy. The rest is noise.” https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-judge-cannon-classified-docs-trial-delay

Let's talk about the lack of goodies 😸

Fly away!

Yesterday, a Mastodon friend pointed out that today, 20 March 2023, is World Sparrow Day. So, I did a search to find out what that is all about. Here's a couple of excerpts from articles I looked at:

"The theme for World Sparrow Day 2023 is a continuation of the previous year’s theme. The theme for this year is “I love Sparrows,” which emphasizes the role of individuals and communities in sparrow conservation. Significance Sparrows are small, common birds that are found in many parts of the world." - cnbctv18.com

"Every year on March 20, people celebrate World Sparrow Day. It is designated to raise awareness about sparrow conservation and protection, as their numbers are declining globally. The first commemoration of the day occurred in 2010. The goal of the day is to educate people about the value of sparrows in the ecosystem, their role in pollination, and their importance in pest control." - economictimes.indiatimes.com

Listen to the Kennedy family. RFK Jr. is a liar, a creep, and his candidacy is dangerous for our country.

@taylorlorenz #Meta has overtly promised this exact anti-news, pro-brands approach since the very outset of #Threads.

Just a heads up. If you got your hotel room but didn't get your convention pass as yet, I would consider buying them early. I have a feeling this is going to be a big year. The q pass and the dinner is selling pretty quickly. A lot faster than last year and it's still early. I just don't want to see anybody miss out!

🧵 Hey all! This is a new account, I'm still Zecharias Zelalem, freelance journalist and aspiring OSINTer providing news and analysis on the Horn of Africa for a variety of international media outlets. For the past year or so, I posted via @zekuzelalem@journa.host, but I've transitioned away from that instance. I'll be posting from this account from now on. After recent changes on the journa dot host instance, I had no choice but to set up elsewhere. Hope to continue exchanges and friendships here.

I lack the faith in humanity, and as far as Repulicans, I lack any and all empathy, but Aure's words help remind me that it's not all bad.

Keep posting these, and if anyone finds the content compelling, a follow is free. :)
