Why Germany's Baerbock is unfit to be the new UN general assembly president
Annalena Baerbock is not just any diplomat. As Germany’s foreign minister from 2021 to 2025, she tried to justify over and over again Israel’s war crimes as “self-defence”, rejected ceasefires, and her country continued to provide Israel with hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons, making it its second biggest arms supplier.

When I order from Amazon in Canada they always show me the duties payable on shipment. Duties is another word for tariffs. Its the honest thing to do which is why I’m surprised Amazon is doing it

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Title:
SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING

ACTIVE VOICE
e.g.
Our team collected samples and then we tested them.

CLICKBAIT VOICE
e.g.
We collected some samples...
You won't believe what happened next!

PASSIVE VOICE
e.g.
Samples were collected and tested.

HAIKU VOICE
e.g.
Quiet science lab.
Workers arrive with samples.
The testing begins.

PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE
e.g. We did all the collecting and testing.
No need to thank us.
Just doing our job.

CONSPIRACY VOICE
e.g.
Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

I saw advice to buy extra cans of food when you’re at the grocery store to donate to the food bank. I want to politely nudge you to give the money directly to food banks (or to mutual aid groups if you know of any). We can usually stretch a dollar farther than a dollar’s worth of canned goods

"These 15 medics and first responders were heroes. They ran towards danger. They served their people. They believed in the sanctity of life, even in a place where life is constantly under siege. Their memory should be sacred." — #AJOpinion by Ahmed Najar ⤵️

Israel kills, lies, and the Western media believe it
The execution of 15 Gaza medics and rescuers demonstrates just how normalised the dehumanisation of Palestinians is.

I find it impossible to have a reasonable conversation with people who don’t condemn genocide. Zionist are anti Jew, and are a real Jew’s enemy. There will never be peace if Zionist rule Israel.

Apple has hardly been the bringer of light to its workers. Kept in barracks in China and woken at 3 am to meet a phoney deadline for profit to Apple and its investors. American workers would not stand for that treatment and there were no savings passed down to the consumer not a dime.

After the snow ice and rain of yesterday it was a beautiful day to spend in the garden. Picked up all the garbage in the front garden, brought the pots out to the patio, trimmed a few clematis and had a look at what was coming up.

So his slogan is ‘boots not suits’ but the suits get the tax cut… how many of those in boots jobs have investments high enough to count as capital gains? None of them have the 12,000 a year to tuck into the TFSA either. So more benefits to the suits.

No you are wrong it is an escalation and they are stealing land from Syria as well. Bombing cities in a country you are not a war with is wrong and Israel is committing war crimes.

I’d not be rushing back until things are more settled. I mean Israel is bombing them and stealing land, they are still fighting a civil war, there is little infrastructure or places to live or jobs to have. Many Syrian refugees here in Canada have built businesses and lives.

Life with a demented old dog. She had me up from 1;30 to 2 am. Started with a drink, downstairs, outside, back in, wander about, outside, back in, wander about, gave her a half a children’s gravol, upstairs and back to bed. Took 10 minutes for her to settle so I could go back to sleep.
