The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said in a statement on Friday: “One way or another, we will restore security to the residents of the north,” adding: “One of our hands holds a weapon, our other hand is extended in peace.”

Bibi is a lying sack of shit.

I like how some news sources aren’t calling tRump President anymore.

The U.S. delegation last week proposed bringing Starlink satellite internet to the island and allowing free connectivity. It also urged the Cuban regime to make economic changes to attract foreign capital, grow the private sector and transition to a market-based economy.

Here’s the thing tho … if Cuba voluntarily decided to change its whole economy on its own - that’s fine. But for tRump to arbitrarily force it on Cubans is pretty fucked up.

I’m hoping that if the orange asshole starts rattling his sabers that the rest of the world would jump in to protect Cuba’s ability to choose on its own how it wants its country to operate.

Get Smart will join in with his Cone of Silence to help out.

Israel, the nation of destroyers.

Hi dad.

You’d have to give the linguist time to sort it all out.

Y’all have a great logical discussion happening here between Brave Little Hitachi Wand and UnderpantsWeevil and as much as I respect the convo the names have me lmao.

👍👍

Not if we keep allowing nations to harvest them (and their singular food source, krill) at the current astronomical rates.

Because oil prices fluctuate with the market … so prices rose on oil that had been produced at the cheaper rates but sold at much higher values.

I’m on a Herzog kick atm so got the reference. Otherwise I would have been down a rabbit hole in a heartbeat.

Meidas Touch is calling her out.

Imagine the bs she’d have to go through to even get through the gate. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to find out she was a plant.

Mr. Forlit, 58, is accused of running a sprawling enterprise that operated around the world, including in Russia, India and Dubai. A 2022 grand jury indictment unsealed on Friday charged Mr. Forlit with conspiracy to commit computer hacking, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud, which could result in up to 45 years in prison.

What’s the chances of him doing anything close to 45 yrs in prison? I mean under the current fake Jesus dude not much I’d say.

Putin should just roll over and die already.

Animal welfare activists in Colombia have long opposed proposals to kill the hippos, arguing they deserve to live, and adding that addressing the problem through violence sets a poor example for a country that has gone through decades of internal conflict.

First off, I love all animals. They were here long before humans showed up and have a right to life.

The problems begin when human-introduced animals start taking over from native species. The most well-known issue was on the Galapogos islands where invasive rats and cats (accidentally brought over on ships in the 1800’s) were killing many of the native species.

In 2021 two islands were finally cleared of rats who were killed using drones and poison pellets (https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/drones-help-eradicate-invasive-rats-on-galapagos-islands/). There is current work ongoing to deal with the cats and other species of invasive plants and animals.

None of this mess is the hippos fault, but because one rich selfish man decided he wanted to own hippos the whole lot of them must die. And that sucks.

Wasism is a natwernal ting.

Sorry about that. Fat fingers at work.

Y’all the reason racism survives into the 21st century.
