New B.C. cabinet dropped https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-ndp-cabinet-swearing-in-2024-1.7386565 #bcpoli

Well, this creeped me out, though I can't believe I hadn't noticed it before. Emailing with a friend & a time was mentioned. At the top of the email, Siri said event detected, asked if I wanted to add the time to my calendar. Um, I thought I had turned off Siri. Looked in preferences, and, I did, indeed have all the things toggled off, but there is another page for privacy. I had to go through a bunch of apps, one by one, to get my expected behaviour. There should be one switch.

Is it racist to speak against the slaughter of Israeli children by Hamas on 7 October 2023?

Is it racist to speak against the ongoing slaughter of Pakestinian children in Gaza by Israel?

To speak against Japan in Manchuria, the Hutu killing of Tutsis, Sri Lanka slaughtering Tamils indiscriminately, Indonesia's violence in East Timor, and the Taliban's oppression of women, when you also speak against the slaughter and genocide of the colonial and neocolonial Europe and US?

Meanwhile, right under Russia's nose, Abkhazia's opposition has managed to force its president from office by leveraging mass protests. Can't imagine the Kremlin is too thrilled about this. https://www.interfax.ru/world/993316
