U.S. wildlife officials plan to kill nearly half a million “invasive” American owls over three decades, new documents confirm. Experts say the #cull is #needed to help protect two #native owl #species, which have been put under #threat from the #invaders. However, animal rights activists have condemned the plan as #cruel and unnecessary.Barred owls (Strix varia) are large owls native to eastern #NorthAmerica. In the early 20th century, these owls started moving west of the Mississippi River following “human-induced changes” to the Great Plains and northern boreal forest, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). As a result, the owls have gained a stronghold in #Washington, #Oregon and #California, where they are considered an invasive species.
The arrival of barred owls in the Northwest has adversely affected two native owl species — northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) and California spotted owls (Strix occidentalis occidentalis) — which are both much smaller than the #invaders and are being outcompeted for food and territory. Both native species have also been impacted by extreme logging activity over the last few decades, which has majorly reduced their range, according to California’s Santa Clara University.
Barred owls have also started mating with the spotted owls, creating hybrids that have the potential to reduce the gene pool of the spotted owl species.
The northern spotted owl population has declined severely over the past few decades, and the species is now outnumbered by barred owls across most of its range.
This, of course, is truly reprehensible. The barred owls aren’t even #foreigners! They’re just as #American as the northern spotted owl or the California spotted owl, and all they’re doing is chasing the American dream to make a better life for their children!
This Great Owl Replacement theory is just racism and spotted owl #supremacism. Any decent owl would reject it; no owl-refugee is “illegal” or “invasive”. And if the spotted owls are mating with the barred owls, obviously they are welcoming the #refugees.
Who cares about the gene pool of the spotted owl species? That’s just #eugenics and #Nazi #pseudoscience, right? All owls are the same under their feathers, and obviously there is no place for “pure gene pools” or Spotted Owl #supremacy in Owl #Democracy!

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has released a final proposal to kill around 450,000 invasive barred owls in the Northwest, in an attempt to save two native species.Harry Baker (Live Science)

This war may lead to regime change, but more likely in Israel than in #Iran
Chas Freeman

"This default position is so naked in its hypocrisy, so ignorant and parochial in its worldview, so clear in its disregard for human life, that it represents a colossal erosion of sophistication in political discourse, and a new low in contempt for the public. Support for Israel can only be defended by facile, logic-defying references to its right to defend itself even when it is the aggressor, and Iran’s “threat to the free world”."

#Gaza changed us - now let's change the world
by Yasmeen Daher, University of Potsdam
But Gaza has changed us, and I found myself in a frenzy of uninterrupted speaking since the genocide began. In November 2023, I found myself mentioning my father for the very first time in a political writing.
Perhaps because, after a month of carpet bombing in Gaza, I finally admitted what I had refused to admit until then—that we might be living (in the Palestinian lexicon, “reliving”)
a horrendous moment, worse
than the ethnic cleansing of the Nakba in 1948, that my father lived.
This, in addition to the fact that when we are invited to speak, we often need special permission to narrate, to use Edward Said’s words.
(Said 1984). And when such permission is granted, after we have paid a tormenting and excruciating price- through considerable destruction both in actual and potential lives—the permission is limited to what is
acceptable, in tone, and does not upset the audience.
These directions vary according to context, geography, and language. I have often felt the need to perform a certain identity of Palestinianism, for better or for worse, which I was not always successful in inhabiting
through my political practice.
Following the judicial-political notion of “the right to have rights,”
which Hannah Arendt offers us, I want to offer an understanding of the German hegemonic public discourse around Palestine

A "sulfide-based solid-state battery that offers driving ranges of up to 3,000 kilometres and ultra-fast charging in just five minutes" has been patented by Huawei.
"The patent outlines a solid-state battery architecture with energy densities between 400 and 500 Wh/kg, potentially two to three times that of conventional lithium-ion cells. The filing also details a novel approach to improving electrochemical stability: doping sulfide electrolytes with nitrogen to address side reactions at the lithium interface, a long-standing obstacle to the commercialisation of sulfide-based batteries. Huawei's design aims to boost safety and cycle life by mitigating degradation at this critical junction."
"China's EV and tech sectors are aggressively exploring solid-state battery technologies to reduce reliance on established battery suppliers such as CATL and BYD."
"CATL aims to begin pilot production of a hybrid solid-state battery by 2027. Going High-Tech's 'Jinshi' battery -- featuring 350 Wh/kg energy density and 800 Wh/L volume density -- has entered small-scale production. At the same time, Beijing WeLion has begun manufacturing a 50 Ah all-solid-state cell with national certification."
Keep in mind, this is a patent. Nothing happens with most patents. They get filed, but the idea is never commercialized. Sometimes they get involved in patent lawsuits or threats of patent lawsuits. Or they just sit around as part of a corporations "war chest" that protects it against patent lawsuits.

Jeff Cliff vs. Wiz!
First, it's Jeff Cliff! Having remained relatively silent about the tournament hasn't helped him much: he's managed to make it to quarterfinals this year, having been knocked out round 1 last year by Trevor! Most famous for ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT when a man INJECTS a HOT CREAMY VAXX right into them, this is the most milquetoast person to make it this far. Willing to talk to anyone - even if they're defederated - this man's simple idealism and adherence to government health protocols has taken him pretty far this tournament.
Next is...Wiz.
I refuse to play him up. He's going to post pics of himself wearing a skirt and faggot socks if you make him win.
If that's what you want, you are a faggot... that's what you want isn't it? Seriously kill yourself. No he doesn't get a proper intro. Not even a pic. Please vote for Jeff.

Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian said it would be easy to veryfy #Iran was not developing atomic weapons, state TV reported on Thursday, a day after US president Donald Trump said he would like to have a verified nuclear peace agreement with Tehran.
Iran is not seeking a nuclear weapon as the mass killing of innocent people is prohibited in the Islamic Republic’s doctrine, Pezeshkian said in a televised meeting with foreign ambassadors in Tehran, reports Reuters.
“Verifying [our nuclear programme] is an easy task, they have come and verified every time they wanted to do so and they can come verify a hundred more times,” Pezeshkian said.
#Trump said on Wednesday he would like to have a verified nuclear peace agreement with Iran. During his previous term in office in 2018, Trump pulled the United States out of Tehran’s 2015 nuclear pact with world powers and reimposed sanctions that have crippled the country’s economy. The harsh measures prompted Tehran to violate the pact’s #nuclear limitations, reports Reuters.

For the first time in decades, a U.S. president has directly implied willingness to use nuclear weapons against a claimed adversary.
President Trump has issued what amounts to a #Ukraine-style ultimatum to #Iran: abandon your nuclear program within two months or face severe consequences.
“We can’t let them have a nuclear weapon,” Trump stated. “I would rather have a peace deal than the other option but the other option will solve the problem.”

E3 (#Germany, #UK, #France) finally want to do it.
The E3 variant of Murphy’s Law might read: “If the E3 can deliberately do something detached from reality, stupid, untimely, unmeditated, dangerous, and likely to worsen an already highly tense international crisis, they will.”
In 2018, the first Trump administration withdrew from the nuclear deal, just three years after it was signed. At the time, the E3 failed to issue any serious criticism of this disgraceful move, while de facto aligning with the new US sanctions regime - which included secondary sanctions against countries that continued to trade with Iran.
In other words, the #US first violated its commitments under the deal, and the E3 did nothing to stand in its way.

Iran was using many decoys to deceive the Israeli defense system.
It is no longer necessary to use so many, because they have already learned how it operates.
In a war, each side has a learning curve about the enemy's combat methods and defenses. Attacks become more economical in terms of materials to achieve the same effect.
