Tegen vakbonden.

Tegen verhoging minimumloon.

*sigh* another dinosaur up for auction. This time a T.rex nicknamed Gus. 63% complete and a well preserved skull. The expected price of $20-30 million for this 11.5 meter animal is way too high for museums to generally have access to. Here’s hoping for a happy ending…

Not for genocide.
Not for war crimes.
Not for occupation.
Not for colonisation.
Not for invasion.
Not for torture.

But for trading stolen grain, maybe.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

MSNBC Reporter: "Would you be willing to step down to save the people of Cuba?"

Cuba President: "Is that question from you or is it coming from the US State Department?"

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

@SteveBrusatte @netflix Great book!

[Steve Brusatte @SteveBrusatte]

If you're watching the stunning new @netflix series The Dinosaurs, which is 'charting the rise and fall of the dinosaurs'...

Maybe you'd be interested in reading the book The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs!

Could it have maybe helped inspire the series? 🤷😉

De aanvallen van Israël en de Verenigde Staten op Iran zijn illegaal en onverdedigbaar. Vrede en diplomatie waren mogelijk. In plaats daarvan kozen Israël en de Verenigde Staten voor oorlog.

De illegale bombardementen begonnen nauwelijks enkele uren nadat bemiddelaar Oman verklaarde dat Teheran bereid was om verdere toegevingen te doen in de onderhandelingen over het nucleaire programma. “Vrede is binnen handbereik,” zei buitenlandminister Badr Albusaidi. Maar voor Washington en Tel Aviv dienden de onderhandelingen enkel om tijd te winnen.

Netanyahu en Trump willen Iran op de knieën dwingen en in chaos storten, net zoals ze met Irak, Syrië, en Libië hebben gedaan.

In een videoboodschap legde VS-president Trump uit waar het echt om gaat: “Houd jullie klaar want als de aanvallen stoppen, moeten jullie het regime omverwerpen.” Voor Washington is Iran een ‘obstakel’ voor de VS-dominantie in de regio. Het gaat om olie, strategische doorvoerroutes, en geostrategische belangen.

Dit is het gedrag van schurkenstaten — en met deze catastrofale daad van agressie hebben zij de veiligheid van de mensheid wereldwijd in gevaar gebracht.

Trump en Netanyahu storten de hele wereld in chaos om landen in de pas te doen lopen. En tonen hun totale minachting voor het internationaal recht. Het is niet door het woordje “preventief” voor hun illegale bombardementen te plakken, dat enig recht is geschied.

Het is aan de Iraanse bevolking om haar eigen toekomst te maken. Wij staan aan de zijde van de mensheid en het internationaal recht, tegen het idee dat Israël en de VS zomaar iedereen kunnen bombarderen die zij willen bombarderen.

Onze regering moet deze flagrante schending van het internationaal recht veroordelen en dringend een buitenlands beleid nastreven dat gebaseerd is op rechtvaardigheid, soevereiniteit en vrede.

🚨NEW SCIENCE ALERT!🚨Our paper, led by Dr. Paul Sereno, is now available in @ScienceMagazine! We describe a new African #dinosaur species with a unique cranial crest—Spinosaurus mirabilis. See beautiful paleoart by @playerDNG on the cover!@NYITCOMResearch

A new Spinosaurus species uncovered in northern Niger appears to have been a wading predator of fish like its close relatives, but it lived as many as 1000 kilometers inland from the Tethys Sea. The fossil find may represent a third phase of evolution for this group of massive, fish-eating dinosaurs.

🚨New dinosaur! The latest salvo in the Spinosaurus saga.

A Spinosaurus looking like Elvis, with an outrageous bony head crest. Discovered in the Sahara by my undergrad mentor Paul Sereno & his team.

Super cool! But I'm sure nobody on the internet will care about it... 😉

[The University of Chicago @UChicago]

When UChicago paleontologists first plucked a massive dinosaur bone from the sands of the central Sahara in 2019, they didn't immediately recognize it. A new paper describes their discovery: a fish-eating, "hell heron" known as Spinosaurus mirabilis. https://t.co/3MiYeh2x1P

Just to address 2 major misconceptions regarding bird evolution. 1: specific dinosaurs did not evolve into specific birds. I see this sometimes where someone thinks specific dinosaur species evolved into specific bird species/groups. Rather all birds share a common ancestor that-

Trump and his administration are once again targeting Cuba.

More than sixty years ago, Cuba freed itself from Washington’s domination and has since pursued an independent course, marked in particular by impressive investments in education, healthcare and international solidarity. The socialist island is a thorn in the side of U.S. dominance because it demonstrates, in concrete terms, that another path is possible.

From the very beginning, the United States has sought to strangle Cuba, notably through an illegal and criminal blockade that prevents the island from developing trade, investment and financial exchanges. This blockade is condemned every year by the United Nations General Assembly by an overwhelming majority (with only the United States and Israel voting against) and has cost Cuba tens- if not hundreds - of billions of euros since its introduction in 1962.

Despite the blockade, the sanctions and all attempts at destabilisation over six decades, Cuba still stands. That is what infuriates Trump and Marco Rubio, and it is why, as part of their colonial strategy to reconquer the Western Hemisphere, they are once again attacking Cuba.

“Cuba is a free, independent and sovereign nation. No one dictates to us what we must do,” President Miguel Díaz-Canel responded today. He is absolutely right. It is not for Washington to dictate the law - neither in Cuba, nor in Caracas, nor in Bogotá, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else.

It is time for Belgium and the European Union to stop trailing behind U.S. imperialism. Solidarity with the Cuban people and with all those who resist.

This is probably the least of it.. but covering his eyes and ears to deprive him of his senses is a war crime - something the Americans do all the time.

And taking a photo of a detainee to humiliate them or to satisfy public curiosity is also a Geneva Convention violation.

[Peter Mertens MP @peter_mertens]

De VS plegen een illegale ontvoering van een zittend staatshoofd, schenden het VN-Handvest en voeren oorlogsmisdaden uit om olie en koloniale controle veilig te stellen. Door te zwijgen maken Europese leiders zich medeplichtig aan de ondermijning van soevereiniteit, internationaal recht en vrede.
