No matter what your thoughts re: the war in , it's worth reading the full statement from the ICC Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan regarding his application for arrest warrants for Hamas leaders, Netanyahu and the Israeli Minister of Defense.

Flowers in the early morning sun. My iPhone says they are fortnight lilies or wood iris; fortnight lily seems like the better match.

Hello

We're brand new here, so we thought we'd thought we'd share an !

Who we are: a 25-year old non-profit vet clinic in the East Bay dedicated to making high-quality surgical care accessible to all.

What we do: We never turn anyone away for lack of funds: since 2014, Animal Fix Clinic has performed more than 50,000 life-saving and life-changing spay/neuter surgeries at low or no cost.

Even though our work focuses on helping animals, it's really about helping people make good decisions for the animals they love without considering cost. We keep pets with their families where they belong.

Right now, we're working to renovate the former Contra Costa Pinole shelter into our full-time, permanent home!

Why you should follow us: We know that many of you love and so we hope we can become friends.

We promise cute pictures and progress of construction on our new clinic.

Say hello!

Surprising almost no one:

"Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful tech companies — Apple, Microsoft and SpaceX — were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent."

And regarding managers, one person posits: "Maybe managers leave shortly after mandates ... 'because it’s easier to manage a team that’s happy.'"

I just got emails that sure looked like official messages from my bank saying I'd added a Zelle recipient and sent him a bunch of money.

Of course I didn't click on any of the links; I just went to my bank's website and checked my accounts, and everything is fine. Also: The Zelle messages referenced an account ending in four digits which match none of my bank accounts.

So a warning that fake messages like this are circulating.

I saw someone do an for their cat, and thought I'd do the same.

I adopted Tennessee a year ago, when he was 13. His first 3 years were in a hoarding household, but he got rescued by Homeless Cat Network & adopted by a volunteer there. When she got too sick to care for him, she returned him to HCN where I found him. This photo was the one HCN posted. I wanted an older cat; we're a good match.

He was named (not by me) for the old cartoon Tennessee Tuxedo.

A lovely story about an acclaimed 89-year-old photographer, David Hurn, whose name I’d never heard but whose work I've certainly seen — including a famous Sean Connery / James Bond poster.

“I must be one of the few people that's played Monopoly with The Beatles.”

“I've become the village photographer, so I cover little Johnny's birthday party and this and that and I do it very seriously, as though I was working for Life magazine, and I love doing that.”

I'm generally skeptical of organizations announcing their green and/or climate-friendly initiatives, but it seems like Eurostar is really doing a lot of good stuff.

Tennessee, really showing off those toe beans. You might notice a lack of floof on one part of his tummy; they had to remove some to do his ultrasound back a week and a half ago.
