Israels Regierung entlässt Geheimdienstchef
Israels Regierung hat den Chef des Inlandsgeheimdienstes entlassen. Als Grund führte Regierungschef Netanjahu einen Mangel an Vertrauen an. Gegen die Entscheidung gingen Tausende auf die Straße.

My first Megaman Battle Network prop was a scaled-up Battle Chip for a friend's 30th birthday.
The body is made from layers of EVA foam and can hold any 4x6-inch photo. The nameplate is a plexiglass insert so you can write any names for any photos you want.
The "Recover 30 HP" photo was perfect for his birthday. Though it's been several years and he still hasn't swapped it out with any of the other photos... 😅

I just had a thought:
If the #USA actually _does_ invade #Canada , then #Tesla cars become valid military targets.
After all, ultimately they are controlled by #ElonMusk , who has already stated that "Canada is not a real country" and largely seems to support whatever inane thing #Trump wants to do.
And Tesla cars are already massive surveillance devices, and could probably be turned into autonomous #drones very easily with a few simple software updates by Tesla.
So... Canada (and #Greenland, etc.) should probably start banning these cars.
This is actually something I've been discussing with people from a risk and possibility perspective.
The current state of art allows Tesla's to target specific individuals for a kill. No new or more advanced technology needed. Just a single firmware update.
Second, the US administration has a tendency for making personal attacks and not caring much for the law.
So this is both technically feasible and it's a possible escalation of the direction they are heading in.
Can’t help but think of this scene… where all the Teslas block highway access.

This is how you do it:
Step 1: More than 100,000 protesters flood the streets of Serbia’s capital Belgrade.
Step 2: Unpopular Serbian leader Vucevic resigns.
Next stop Washington D. C.
Update: As pointed out by others, it is the president who is very unpopular in Serbia, but it is only the prime minister who is resigning, so the Serbs have not completed their mission yet.

It is forcing a change, which is good.
But make no mistake, this is a scapegoat and not real systemic change.

Just finished @pluralistic's "Picks & Shovels." It is the fourth Marty Hench book, but it is also the first Marty Hench book, where we learn his origin story.
Every time I've finished one of the other books in the series, I've thought it was the best one. This one continues the run -- once again, the best Marty Hench book I've read.
I love this series. Highly recommended.

Tyrannical leader? Why comparisons between Trump and King George III miss the mark on 18th-century British monarchy
Britain’s George III has gotten a bad rap. He was not the all-powerful monarch that President Trump allegedly aspires to be.The Conversation
Notre tout premier adopté, Nyan, son truc, c'était la souris. Il en a eu une qu'il avait démoli et mise en miette. Un truc basique, plastoque, tissu. On avait finit par balancer ce qui en restait, tellement c'était mâchonné dans tous les sens. Il avait moins aimé les suivantes pourtant identiques.
Kitsune, elle, son truc c'était dormir. Au chaud de préférence. Le jeu c'était "jouer à chat avec Nyan", mais elle était pas branchée jouet.
Et les griffes, elle les faisait tjs sur des griffoirs à l'horizontal.
(ils me manquent très fort tt les deux)

Yes, I have Bose speakers in my car and love them. Though I would never get a pair of their earbuds. Way past what I will spend on them considering I would probably have them for a month at best.

#Trump’s assertion that a gang is committing crimes in the #US at the direction of #Venezuela’s govt was critical to his invocation of a wartime #law last wk to summarily [w/o #DueProcess] deport people whom ofcls suspected of belonging to that group.
But US #intelligence agencies circulated findings last month that stand starkly at odds w/Trump’s claims…. The doc, dated Feb 26, summarized the shared judgment of the nation’s spy agencies that the gang was not controlled by the Venezuelan govt.
