A good day for otter spotting in Cork City. Eating, scratching and swimming in the River Lee this afternoon. This male otter is called Acorn - named after the acorn shaped scar on his nose. Thanks to photographer Chris Martin for the heads up. #cork

This otter is called Finbarr. He got his name from local wildlife photographer Chris Martin (@looselenscap on instagram). Finbarr is possibly Cork City's fattest otter which is remarkable given that he is missing both an upper and lower canine. River Lee, Cork City this morning(Sat 14th March) #cork

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors
or surrender accepted;
(2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such
that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted;
(3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable
ability to accept surrender would exist;
(4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate
forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and
(5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

They’re not even trying to hide the white supremacy any more.
Screenshot of a post on X by FactPost (@factpostnews) quoting a pastor describing an encounter with ICE agents. The text says he saw ICE agents circling a young Hispanic woman and told an agent to stop harassing her. He says the agent got in his face, pointed a gun at him, and asked if he was afraid. The pastor says he was then handcuffed, put in the back of an SUV, and told, “Well, you’re white, you won’t be any fun anyway.” Below the quote is a video still from MSNBC showing a middle-aged man with glasses speaking from a home office with bookshelves and rainbow-colored blankets on chairs behind him. A banner reads “BREAKING NEWS: MINNEAPOLIS PASTOR SAYS HE WAS DETAINED BY ICE,” with “Katy Tur Reports” and MSNBC branding.
