Given there’s no invocation of Article V; even if there was this isn’t self defense, it’s self inflicted; & NATO’s remit is Europe not the Middle East, he can bluster all he wants. Especially, as everyone already knows if a NATO member invoked Article V he’d ignore it.

Former NATO SG, now FinMin of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg, stated that the attack on Iran was unlawful and that this is the position of Norway. He also commented on NATO as a whole and its survival of the Trump admin.

A welcome sign with a tabby cat and behind it are the ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina A close up of the ruins One of the cats who lives at the sanctuary hiding behind some bushes

My Ides of March fun fact is that the place where Caesar was stabbed is now a cat sanctuary, and I think it’s beautiful that creatures with tiny knives on their feet live there

If the new Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act 2026 becomes the law, the government of Canada will be able to secretly order Apple to build a capability into its infrastructure to allow Canadian law enforcement and national security folks to track every iPhone, iPad, Apple watch, Apple AirPod and AirTag in real time. 
Then they’ll be able to require Apple to confirm whether they provide you any services. Then they can go to a justice of the peace and get an order – without actually believing that a crime has been or will be committed – requiring Apple to hand over EVERY device identifier for every device you use with their services. That’s the digital ID for your iPhone, iPad, Apple watch, Apple AirPod, Apple TV and AirTag. 
With that information, they can go back to the judge and get an order – again without actually believing that a crime has been or will be committed – requiring Apple to give them the moment-by-moment locations of all your devices. Oh, and that secret order also required Apple to keep your location history for a full year, so cops can get that too. Is that a power we want Canadian police and law enforcement to have?

I have some thoughts on #BillC22 related to #lawfulaccess. More to come ...

How different countries hype themselves up at the World Baseball Classic:

Team Canada: wear hockey jerseys

Team Italy: drink espresso

Team DR: dance

Team USA: invite Seal Team 6 member to make speech, the same Seal Team 6 member who also told young men on Twitter they would be his "concubines"

Left: Minimal line art drawing of a cat that is enclosed in a pink rectangle. Label: Kitten is completely full of crimes

Right: the same cat art but twice the size. The same size rectangle covers only the bottom of the cat. Label: Adult cat contains the same amount of crimes but it does not dominate all of their behaviors

It is actually possible to regulate gambling advertising, and while designing such a regulatory regime could be complicated, it can also be very simple, such as "there shall be no gambling advertising".

I think the one nice thing I could say about Cherry in the current moment is that he would have probably ripped the wexit people publicly.

long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.

Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

Having to deal with structural issues favouring Republicans, a media sanewashing Trump, and the bullshit Musk got up to are probably equal factors. So willingly choosing to give up on a group of voters seems dumb.

And lets not forget that Republican voters have agency.

Come on. As an outsider it seems pretty reasonable to say that campaigning with a fucking Cheney and refusing to distance the campaign from the war in Gaza would suppress enthusiasm in their voter base.

Just so that we are clear, Israel drops criminal charges on five Israeli soldiers who were caught on camera sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee. But Israel will keep kids in prison for decades because they were throwing rocks? Make it make sense 🤦🏽‍♀️

AP: BREAKING: The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee.

The *apists were caught on camera and defended their actions. The Israeli public filled the streets to defend their right to *ape. This is Israel. This is Zionism. And it is irredeemable.

Mike Johnson says Cuba is collapsing “organically” because they’re socialist. If that’s true, why was it necessary to strangle their economy w/six decades of crippling embargoes and more recently a blockade of vital oil? If he’s so confident, why not let Cuban socialism fail without US intervention?

Part of a huge conversation we need to have. Why are corporations allowed more rights to their image than we are to our own? Women trying to get nudes - real or doctored - removed online is onerous or impossible. But Mickey Mouse?

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
