The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Some very literal German names for animals.

From my latest newsletter: open.substack.com/pub/robwords...
NILPFERD – “Nile horse” – hippopotamus NACKTSCHNECKE – “naked snail” – slug FAULTIER – “lazy animal” – sloth GÜRTELTIER – “belt animal” – armadillo SIEBENSCHLÄFER – “seven sleeper” – edible dormouse*, which hibernates for seven months TINTENFISCH – “ink fish” – squid/octopus/cuttlefish ERDMÄNNCHEN – “little earth man” – meerkat FLEDERMAUS – “flutter mouse” – bat SCHILDKRÖTE – “shield toad” – tortoise/turtle EICHHÖRNCHEN – “little oak horn” – squirrel WASCHBÄR – “wash bear” – raccoon, because of the way it cleans itself with its human-like hands. We have raccoons in Berlin.

I'm getting ready to give away an 2017 iMac. It's well out of date for macOS but will run linux. Gorgeous sound and screen. I need to power it up to get the full specs of memory etc.

If you're interested and can pick it up from north Brisbane (or negotiate something else), please DM

Do you remember when a woman started a racist rant at John McCain? He stopped her and admonished her.

NOT ONE of these people, members of Congress and the government, has the decency to do that.

NOT ONE.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

pink and purplish horizontal stripes in morning sky over San Francisco Bay. The bay itself reflects the sky and appears pink. Lights twinkle on the Bay Bridge, the city of Oakland in the early morning. The colors are framed by deep dark green evergreen trees from the hills.
