Denmark is joining Australia in banning children under 15 years from using social media platforms.

No word if they will also fine platforms from failing to verify ages of users for accounts like Australia plans to do starting December 10th.

So far Bluesky has not been included in the platforms.

They don't care if it's actually workable or that people will want it. Just as long as it has his name on it. They are trying to transform this whole country into the only person that matters is that president.

Anyways, this is why North America aquariums and some zoos have sea otters. Because of the good work that rescue organizations and even the governments do to save stranded pups. Knowing that ones that wouldn't survive has a safe place to live also brings awareness to everyone.

Japanese info online is okay too

If anyone has good references to Japan working with places like @montereybayaquarium.org or other, I would like to read it.

Reading about Japan's sea otters and not seeing the kind of work that is being done in North America to grow sea otter population. In NA, there is sea otter rehabilitation for stranded pups. Otters that can survive open seas are released. Ones that can't are in places with good care for them

In 1909, Dr. Cora Smith Eaton climbed Mt. Rainier with a “Votes for Women” banner.

A year later, on November 8th, women in Washington state won the right to vote – the 5th state to do so, and 10 years before the 19th amendment.

Please keep speaking the truth. It matters to everyone, whether they know it or not.

Getting serious hoarder vibes every time I see these photos.
And yes, I think a lot of people in this country won't mind if the hopefully decent next president removes all of this.

シアトルの空港に行くのに別の方法を調べなければならないのは残念ですが、これが今のアメリカの現実です。

I suspect it will happen in the EU before Asia. Although South Korean companies are backing off of building more in the US thanks to that boondoggle Hyundai raid.

Japanese press is still trying to be respectable to the US but some in the Diet are definitely not happy with the US president.

Crows truly are gorgeous aren’t they.

Ever so grateful that Bram Stoker wrote "Dracula". While it took on what others had written before him, his in-depth research for the book is impressive. He truly cared about what he was writing. Happy Stoker Birthday! 🍷

Definitely will be watching this very soon.

They really don't want to pay government employees including the military, and they don't want to prevent Americans from starving, or prevent the airlines from going under.

This won't get them more votes next year.

ここでの生活がこうだったらいいのに

Proud to partner with @couriernewsroom.bsky.social to launch “The Diagnosis”

The suffering of Americans from this administration’s policies will not go untold.

Hope you’ll tune in.

Actually, this is true. Just the reported fact that people are offering their ID, their government issued documents that state they are US citizens or legally in the US and these guys refuse to see them, is a waste and an abuse. Not to mention all the other reported abuses.

Too bad they are trying to end medical insurance for millions. Because it will cost people money to see a doctor who might prescribe this.

Something good in light of the really bad damage in Jamaica.

This is important. They are grabbing people who are US citizens. Yes some protesters but most are people who were not. Maybe it's semantics for them because the way they are grabbing people does not follow the laws for arresting a person in the US.

These are accounts that are getting paid for their content and the number of people who have subscribed to their accounts. It reflects what content people on X are looking at, why they are on there.

"Welcome to the bubble".
Hard to find accounts that aren't hard rightwing or look like bots. Follower numbers looking lower too.
This is before the change to Grok moderated "For You" content.

Remember, a lot of people have abandoned their accounts, so take that into account with follower numbers.

Checking in with the protest at the ICE building in Portland, Oregon. The inflatables are dancing, looking happy. I'm guessing it's because of the ruling saying no National Guard in Portland. Jack is there in his chicken suit. Not too many people at the building.
