Africa: French Bill Clears Path to Return Artefacts Looted During Colonisation: [RFI] A bill to make it easier for France to return cultural objects taken during the colonial period was presented at a ministerial council in Paris this week by Culture Minister Rachida Dati.

ALP members demand more from PM on Palestine
"We cannot sit silent or merely express words of “never again” as we bear witness to a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable scale and the destruction of an entire population. What is unfolding in Gaza is a genocide. Actions that are antithetical to our Labor Party principles, our values, our traditions."

@Forestofenchantment @satsuki By the way, before he was doing this, he was running tours under his own company in new york city. People would pay him to get shown around and he would end up just getting hammered with a group of like 20 people at the bar.

It's the funniest shit i've ever seen. And people would keep coming for the tours, like legit tourists thought it was real and he was serious. He'd just take their money and bring them to the bar for "sight seeing" and spend it all and get hammered.

"The number of protesters that attended Sunday's March for Humanity from the CBD to North Sydney, calling for an end to the war in Gaza, far exceeded what organisers had submitted in their forms to gain approval."

OK. And how much of that was because the ACABs (who 24 hours later are still having a sook about being told to fuck off by the Supreme Court) decided that instead of being sensible about the whole thing, what they did was Streisand Effect it to an extend we haven't really ever seen before?

reminds me of the Iraq war protest I attended in Adelaide in 2003, where 100,000 people unexpectedly turned out instead of the few thousand the police were anticipating. As a result, there were like 5 cops to 100,000 people, cops literally couldn't do a thing to manage it, and therefore...absolutely nothing bad happened and everyone left peacefully!

If I am on a jury, I will never vote to convict any real-life Dexter Morgan that takes care of any pedophile that has been pardoned, or who otherwise escapes prosecution.

For that matter I will never vote to convict anyone accused of assaulting any ICE officer either, for entirely different reasons.

Only the gunwale is foam filled.
The resat is painted inside with top coat and ventilated in chambers.

The round thing is a masked hole for a hatchet so I can get to the engine attach bolts.

Another year I will put a fixed tank, battery and bilge pump there.

For now only the gps is epoxied close to the transom.

There are also 2 cable tunnels coming out the transom for trim pads.

I was planing to troll with poles.
And maybe use nets too, but not trolling with a net. Perhaps a trap or 2.

I have moved from the Bothnian Bay to the Baltic sea. And the waves here are shorter and messier.

So at this point my first mission is to make the boat function properly in these waters.

Trump’s war on history has a long history

For the Trump administration, the truth is malleable, something to be shaped for political purposes. The post Trump’s war on history has a long history appeared first on Crikey.

The largest wildfire in the USA currently has been classed as a megafire which is one that burns more than 40,500 hectares (100,000 acres) of land. Pyrocumulus or "fire clouds" have also been seen for 7 days in a row as the fire creates it's own weather.
