This Saga of the Bibby Stockholm is never ending. I can't wait for the last verse where it is closed, and then burnt, and then sunk, and then it is no more. The Bibby Stockholm cannot be allowed to darken anybody's shore.

Santa is a quantum being. His probabilistic nature means he can be in every house at the same time on Christmas.
This is why it's vitally important noone sees him. If he's observed the probabilities collapse and only one house gets presents.

The Presidents of Venezuela and Guyana have agreed not to use force or escalate tensions over a border dispute.If follows eight hours of talks about the oil-...#AlJazeera #AlJazeeraEnglish #Essequibo #Guyana #PresidentsofVenezuelaandGuyana #Venezuela #aljazeeralive #aljazeeravideo #aljazeeraEnglish #aljazeeralatest #aljazeeralive #aljazeeralivenews #borderdispute #oilrichregion
Venezuela-Guyana tension: Two presidents discuss disputed oil-rich region

Every #Christmas the inhabitants of Chumbivilcas (Peru) practice the festival of "Takanakuy", in which they challenge eachother to a fist fight to resolve the years conflicts... and then go out for a drink together.

So, we have Threads, well-known for lack of moderation for open transphobia, sexism, homophobia, racism and other bigotries that people would *much rather not have boosted into their timeline and by the time they've blocked, they've already seen it and it's too late*.

THIS is why Threads is being pre-emptively blocked, and not because it's a "Satanic Panic" or "leftist moral panic", as I've seen it termed in one thread.

It's self-care and self-protection.

I wish Joan were here rather than or in addition to BlueSky and Threads.

Cop28 president says his firm will keep investing in oil https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/15/cop28-president-sultan-al-jaber-says-his-firm-will-keep-investing-in-oil?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

While bathing in his own warm afterglow, he decides to give the world a one-fingered salute while rubbing our faces in his oily sand.

All he did was get the elephant in the room called by its proper name. But he thinks Adnoc is woolly mammoth and his ‘celebrated’ COP declaration doesn’t apply to them.

#COP28 dodged #endfossilfuels so the #ClimateCrisis continues unabated. We are so fucked.

The Israeli occupation army fabricated this picture, claiming they have abducted resistance fighters from inside the Kamal Edwan Hospital in northern Gaza and forced "to raise their arms and surrender".

After scrutiny, a trainee doctor, Nasr Imad Al-Madhoun, and a nurse working at the hospital were identified.

@Colinsay When I was volunteering in Calais with refugees we would talk about the Rwanda policy. Out of hundreds of people I spoke to none of them had even heard of the policy and when we explained it they said that they'd still take the chance to get to their families and opportunities for safety in the UK. The Rwanda policy is not in any way stopping people crossing on small boats. It's just another ridiculous and very expensive media game by the tories.
