"Barry Andrews, an Irish centrist MEP, who chairs the European Parliament’s development committee, told the Guardian via email: “Given Israel’s persistent illegal occupation of Palestine, the legal warnings of the international court of justice in its advisory opinion issued last year and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the EU risks being in breach of its international legal obligations by continuing with this energy cooperation.”
He called for an urgent review of the [energy] MoU “with a view to suspension, reaffirming our commitment to upholding international law and human rights”.

Gaza rescue teams paralyzed by fuel crisis, death toll mounts
The United Nations issues a stark warning that fuel shortages in the Gaza Strip have reached "critical", life-threatening levels.
This is a preemptive call to #Fediblock Meta's #P92/#Barcelona instance, for three reasons at least:
1. it'll be huge and extremely poorly moderated;
2. it will be a #privacy nightmare, allowing Meta to extensively profile #Fediverse users with greater ease;
3. it will be used to #EEE the Fediverse in the same way their “support” for #RSS and #XMPP was used to wipe them out from the general consciousness with a rug-pull (my full thoughts on this: wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/cred… )
1/
The Fediverse, especially through Mastodon, has been acknowledged by the major players as a threat —to be eliminated.wok
"...as the news circulated I found that the amount of people deluding themselves into thinking we should welcome the upcoming Meta instance with open arms was much higher than I expected. Truly people never learn anything from history.
Seriously, how can we ever hope to find a solution to things like anthropogenic climate change when we can't even cope with the threat of surveillance capitalists siphoning off all the energy from the opportunity of a breakout?"
"Prediction:
Meta's P92/Barcelona/Threads joins the Fediverse. Many instances... federate with it. The Fediverse sees a growth like nothing before... Smooth sailing for a couple of years, but nearly every new account is created on Meta's side...
...a couple of years in, with over 90% of the Fediverse on Meta servers, the company goes for the rug pull, either on bogus technical claims on the protocol, or on the basis that 'everybody is here anyway'."

Off to lick my wounds and decide my next move
I had a realization when it comes to the whole "trust the experts" meme. There is nothing wrong with experts themselves. Even those who despise the slogan have experts they trust.
The problem is that the "experts" we are told we need to trust are preselected by the government to parrot whatever narrative they want. Other experts who may disagree are never the ones we are given permission to trust.
Burr & Hamilton were political rivals with their feud escalating after Burr’s 1804 New York gubernatorial election loss.
Reports say Hamilton purposely missed Burr, firing his pistol into the trees above Burr’s head.
Why would he miss on purpose?
Makes no sense.
No one goes out on a life or death duel planning to shoot but miss, just above the head of the opponent.
Sure I will lose and die but that bullet that almost got him in the head will new legendary.
Knowing nothing about it, my guess is he was not very good at dueling so he got nervous and shot too fast and thus he missed while his opponent was a better pistol shot than him.
@EvolLove Hamilton had moral objections to dueling, and fired to “throw away his shot” to avoid hitting Burr.
If both men miss, then the duelist a draw and neither man loses face and each walks away, their honor in tact. Burr had different ideas.

"A new type of dietary fat that doesn’t require animals or large areas of land to produce could soon be on sale in the US as researchers and entrepreneurs race to develop the first “synthetic” foodstuffs.
US start-up Savor has created a “butter” product made from carbon, in a thermochemical system closer to fossil fuel processing than food production. “There is no biology involved in our specific process,” says Kathleen Alexander from the firm.
Instead, its butter is derived from the carbon in coal, methane or carbon dioxide. The petrochemical industry uses such inputs to create syngas – a blend of carbon monoxide and hydrogen – which is then turned into long-chain hydrocarbons in what is called the Fischer-Tropsch process.

‘Stop the genocide’: Protests outside Berlin restaurant with GHF ties
Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that the opening of an Israeli restaurant in Germany’s capital has been postponed following protests over its owner’s ties to controversial Gaza aid efforts.
Dozens demonstrated the launch of a restaurant owned by Israeli celebrity restaurateur Shahar Segal, a former spokesperson for the Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF).
The newspaper said the demonstration was organised by anti-Zionist Jewish groups, including the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) and Jewish Voice for Peace.
Protesters chanted slogans such as “Blood in your food” and “Stop the genocide.”

"The university-educated elite" means something very different in countries where everybody gets a student loan and nobody pays tuition. Some might even say that there, the university-educated elite is something a person of average intelligence can *opt out of* at their own peril.
The Oath of Office signifies a commitment to ethical conduct, legal compliance, and the best interests of the public.
At the federal level, the oath is enshrined in 5 U.S. Code § 3331, and it is a requirement for all individuals entering federal civil service or uniformed services.
Malfeasance is misconduct that can violate an oath of office. It refers to the commission of an illegal act.
