Report: "UN rights staff demand Gaza war be called genocide"
They accused the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights of failing to speak out...
and "compared the UN’s inaction over Gaza to its failure to stop the 1994 genocide in Rwanda."
"Failing to denounce an unfolding genocide undermines the credibility of the UN & the human rights system itself.”

@skinnylatte the Nordic countries are already deploying at scale, mostly to terrorize the marginalized, send them to prison on trumped up charges(already happened in Norway) and deprive them of what little we have.

The collapse of a critical Atlantic current can no longer be considered a low-likelihood event, a study has concluded, making deep cuts to fossil fuel emissions even more urgent to avoid the catastrophic impact.
The tipping point that makes an Amoc shutdown inevitable is likely to be passed within a few decades.

I will give a webinar "Demystifying AI" targeted at non-technical people, primarily working in the third sector or consultants working for the third sector.
It's scheduled for 18 Sept, at 11:00 UK time, on Zoom.
If you are interested, let me know, I can DM you a link to the registration.
To be clear: I will be explaining why it is bad.

I think the male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds left. It turned cold yesterday. It was already getting dark, and this lone bird was sitting in the rain for a long time, without being chased by others.
Taken through the window, at 12800 ISO no less. Surprised it worked.
