CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

I have to ask: How actively maintained is #BookWyrm as a project these days?

Apparently, my own instance - bookrastinating.com - recently lost its SSL certificates, and the admin account seems to be inactive.

And the archive/export function doesn't work, either, which makes me rather nervous […]

@DrFerrous thank you! They clean up nicely. The little one is a food demon who gets on the counter & steals crumbs or licks pans & the taller one has chronic allergies & has big snotty sneezes & drools! But in pics they are indeed beauties! 😹

You know, Mastodon would not seem quite so janky if there weren't so many posts that are just twitter screen shots that look like they were taken in 2013.

I get that people like to share a quote with easy attribution. but it looks like shit aesthetically and reminds us of the "quality posts" by […]

I’m so tired of the misogyny and the disregard for women’s civil rights. The Republican Fascists in Congress will now pressure their Dem counterparts for what is in effect, a national abortion ban, as the Dems try to save face on healthcare […]

my cats are in their 3rd hour of sleeping near each other on the bed and just the thought of it has made me feel very happy most of the evening. They wrestle a lot but never snuggle & usually don't sleep in the same spot.

A satirical poster at a London bus stop on Nutfield Close features a bold message reading, β€œIMAGINE HAVING A TRILLION DOLLARS AND STILL BEING THE WORLD’S BIGGEST LOSER,” above an image of a man making a sarcastic expression. A red double-decker bus with the destination β€œWaltham Cross 279” passes by on the street, and autumn trees line the background. Created by the anonymous artist collective everyonehateselon_, this piece humorously critiques billionaire culture and public perception of extreme wealth.

@karlsteel.bsky.social the idea that Zohran is "so good at this" because of what he said about Ackman. He's not the first to say that billionaires spend more on campaigns than they would on taxes.
