I'm seeing a lot of people fundamentally misunderstanding the difference between the ICC and the ICJ. Mixing the two up is the first tell-tale sign you should not be commenting on the ICC prosecutor's applications for arrest warrants
Aaah, great, Biden, so hell bent on facilitating genocide, has now attacked the ICC, and, by doing so, legitimised Hamas' 7th of October attack.
By dismissing the charges of the ICC's prosecutors, Biden has made clear that the ICC is wrong in all counts, and that both Netanyahu, and Yahya Sinwar, are off the hook.
I'm not sure that should sit well with Zionists, or anti-genocide groups, but that's what Biden has done.
@sortius I think we will be witnessing more horrors in both Palestine & USA - over next few months - up to next US election. At this point - especially after ICC prosecutor announced arrest warrants for HAMAS leader & Netanyahu - the global community is now fully lumping US with Israel(for valid reasons) & that's not going to help Biden. Someone should have told him that this decision is another in a series of piss poor decisions & it will hurt him & entire DNC. Domestically & internationally.
@msquebanh yeh, I grew up with the two Bush Presidents invading Iraq, Obama was a breath of fresh air until he started justifying his drone strikes on weddings.
At that point I knew the American experiment was finished, or maybe it never even started.
As much as I think there's a large portion of Americans who are decent people, their political options are limited, and their governmental and electoral systems are designed to disenfranchise them at every turn
Why are they acting surprised that Labor is backing gas? Labor is a party funded by fossil fuel companies, and bolstered by the MEU, once part of the CFMEU.
No one can be so naive to actually think Labor would take real steps against climate change, right? Look what the unions did to the last Labor PM that actually did #auspol
Well, RFK Jr's brain worm is at least a high profile case that will maybe give people pause about their food hygiene.
It's something that I harp on about with the kids: the two most dangerous foods in the house are pork and chicken. Pork for the porcine tapeworms, and chicken for the salmonella.
Both my kids know that on a stove (not sous vide!) you get pork to 64°C and chicken to 74°C
@sortius chicken is only really dangerous in the USA where salmonella infections are endemic in their poultry population, it’s generally not an issue elsewhere as long as you take the normal food handling precautions.
Equality Australia, who were mostly behind the successful Marriage Equality Plebiscite campaign, have a petition up about Cumberland Council in Sydney importing American book bans to the local library.
I don't normally ask people to sign petitions, but if you're in Australia, we need to end this practice before it begins, so, please do sign.
The firemouth is real skittish, as expected, and the Jack Dempsey is just chilled as this morning. The firemouth snatched a food granule, went and hid below the wood structure, and started chewing, the JD just cruises over and starts chewing right in his face, staring him down.
She finishes the food, yawns, and he bolts toward the back of the tank 😆
At least I got to assess his damage: scratched face, half his tail missing, and a chunk of dorsal fin gone
A good example for us Aussies is trying to find Australian movies, look no more, category 5230 is where you want to look (https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/5230)
