Hong Kong’s dolphins and porpoises face toxic threat from tech e-waste
Research reveals dangerous chemicals from electronics in endangered marine mammals, prompting calls for stricter regulations
Old, grumpy git. I don't eat Tofu, but am otherwise a fully paid up member of the 'Wokerati, or, to paraphrase POTUS, a 'Radical Left Lunatic' who loves fairness, equality and DEI.
I've studied Classical Guitar since retiring, and can now read music reasonably. I've played Acoustic Guitar, intermittently, for most of my adult life. I've also taken up the Mandolin in recent years.
Just learning about hashtags... #fbpe #wokerati #ClassicalGuitar #Mandolin #MMT

Qesser was arrested again at 6:30 this morning by police officers wearing masks
Like #ICE agents in the USA
She is currently being held in
▪️ Hatfield Police Station
▪️ Direct train from King’s Cross
And was arrested because she posted on Insta to "Take Direct Action"
My next post on my TL will show Qesser message - it will have a content warning about distribution I need to make this clear.
Booby-Trapped Insoles Allegedly Reached Russian Troops
"operatives from Ukraine’s special services allegedly inserted explosive-filled heated insoles into shipments destined for Russian military units. The items were reportedly moved with the help of Russian volunteers and charitable foundations, allowing them to pass as ordinary humanitarian aid."
Some >very< shrewd and >rarely< expressed analysis ...

"Does the tail wag the dog? The truth is the dog & the tail are wagging each other".
Israel is Washington’s most favoured client state. It has to operate within ME “security” parameters laid down by the US.
At the same time, Israel influences "those parameters in its own interests, chiefly by shaping military, political & cultural discourse in the US through the many levers available to it."

Report: Yemen's Houthis have entered the war in support of Iran. Disrupting traffic in the Bab el-Mandeb strait "would be a game changer."
"Restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz at the same time as..in the Bab el-Mandeb will disrupt, if not cripple, trade toward Europe."
This is "now the sweet spot for the Houthis, threatening escalation without provoking regional retaliation."

Miasma: A tool to trap AI web scrapers in an endless poison pit
"AI companies continually scrape the internet at an enormous scale, swallowing up all of its contents to use as training data for their next models. If you have a public website, they are already stealing your work.
Miasma is here to help you fight back! Spin up the server and point any malicious traffic towards it. Miasma will send poisoned training data from the poison fountain alongside multiple self-referential links. It's an endless buffet of slop for the slop machines.
Miasma is very fast and has a minimal memory footprint - you should not have to waste compute resources fending off the internet's leeches."

Can't we have Biff try out this gold tractor? Climb up on it, and sit there making "vroom, vroom" noises like a toddler? Or maybe, would we need a derrick or lift to get him up there?
I had a feeling this was going to happen. Sad news, especially given the poor state of sea ice after this winter.
Looks like we won't be getting any more data for Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume for a while from PIOMAS. See: https://psc.apl.uw.edu/research/projects/arctic-sea-ice-volume-anomaly/
