  Wow. Respect. "65 years after the assassination of Congo's 1st PM, a Belgian diplomat will face trial" "More than six decades after Congo's beloved first prime minister Patrice Lumumba was abducted and murdered by Belgium-backed secessionists, a former Belgian diplomat will stand trial for war crimes in connection to the assassination." I hope the current US gov cosplayers are paying attention. Justice will be waiting. This man is 93....

  @gedeonm@mastodon.social @bigzaphod@mastodon.social 😀 Andy Weir has such an amazing sense of humour that was well-conveyed in the movie. Looking forward to Hail Mary.

  @Gargron@mastodon.social @tvaziri@mastodon.social How a movie is lit and colour graded is an artistic choice. I do hate the modern grungy, depressing yellow colour grading indicating a warm climate, but if you think all movies look alike, you need to watch more movies. :)

  I never thought to question what 99 Luftballons was about. It’s about 99 balloons being released, mistaken for a UFO, ultimately starting a war with no victors. It was inspired by a practical joke played in Nevada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99_Luftballons

  Imagine being a Black American woman in a grocery store, someone asking where you are from, “oh, are you one of our new nurses,” “yes,” and having people around you clap. That must’ve felt amazing. :) Good for you, Nanaimo. [Disclaimer: Canada isn’t perfect, just not the US. We are trying to be better.] https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVkjIO7mkMI/

  “Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting from beyond the grave” For the love of all that’s good, make sure you leave your passwords to someone you trust after you die so they will delete your accounts.

  Do you find yourself not liking or sharing animal videos because they might be fake?

  Threatened species, the only venomous snake in Ontario, and only found in a few places. Like many Canadians, though, it's very polite. You pretty much have to force it to bite, it would really prefer to leave people alone. #MassasaugaRattlesnake #SnakesOfMastodon #JPegsFolder

  So looking at net this Sunday, for once, a glimpse of hope. Texas flipped a red seat blue, Chicago is setting boundaries for ICE ( good luck with that, and please no disparaging comments, this is about good things), and Liam and dad are back where they belong! Bless the people who are taking photo and video evidence. If not for you, Liam’s outcome would be very different, and it’s sad knowing other young kids are in that same place, no photos of innocence sporting a bunny-eared hat to help.

  RE: https://fediscience.org/@petergleick/116189321935915921 I know the US feels that they are above the law, to the extent that they are not part of the ICC, but Americans can still be tried in absentia, with warrants issued for their arrest when they leave US soil. I hope none of these evil people will ever feel safe to leave their borders once the trials begin.

  "Justin Frost, 34, is single and agrees that female expectations have become too much. "It just feels like expectations and that bar is a bit out of reach. What women seem to be expecting today is someone who is rich and has it all figured out," he said." Give it up, dude, women just don't want to be slaves to men. The bar is that men act like grownups and take over half the drudge work that women most often get saddled with. https://www.cbc.ca/ne...

  OMG. Epstein had gynaecologists on hand to keep the girls “sexually fit?” And said doctors are excusing themselves with “we were told they were of age?” They all need their medical licences revoked and need to be charged with their part in sex trafficking.

  Protesting works, and what a waste of Super Bowl ad money. That did not go as planned.

  While the American male skater is getting attention for performing the 1st legal backflip landing on one skate, let's acknowledge the 1st person to have done this: a Black French girl, Surya Bonaly. She, however, lost points for doing it. "Regarding the criticism she received during her career, Bonaly said she was “born too early,” ... “I broke ice for other skaters,”...“Now everything is different. People welcome anyone as long as they are good & that is what life is...

  “US warns they will send fighter jets into Canadian airspace if F-35 deal doesn’t go through” Not only has cost risen but Spanky has said they would be limited. So just why? Again, what great negotiating tactics. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-canada-airspace-fighter-jets-b2907807.html
