I read earlier today - I think from NRK, citing Reuters - that one of their airlines had received something like 25k applications in the last few days from settlers wishing to leave the zionist entity

European leaders made their beds with their response to the war in Ukraine. Whatever semi-autonomy Europe had was traded away for more U.S. led military expansion so that Europeans can all live and die as dogs of the U.S empire

seeing iSSrael 🇮🇱 🔥 copy some of ukraine's (i.e. NATO's) recent military tactics and operations to attack Iran really did it for me

Norwegian children draw pee and poop, while Danish children don't (NRK)

A drawing of a family can made by children anywhere. But if pee and poop are involved, then it's probably not drawn by a Danish child, research shows.

Big news on the front

– Pee, poop and butt. Norwegian children find it incredibly funny. Exactly what is so funny about it, we don't know, says Kirsten Flaten.

. . . The researchers' findings are nevertheless clear. These motifs appeared in 20 percent of the Norwegian drawings. The difference in motifs is clearly based on nationality and not gender.

. . . In the small office in Sogndal, the researcher now sits with a new binder full of drawings, from Lithuania. Sheets upon sheets of colorful doodles and clear motifs. Each drawing has a patch where the children have explained what they have drawn, so that it is clear to the researchers. The new drawings show the same tendency. Family, albeit on a slightly smaller scale, and no kids having fun with pee and poop. Colorful drawings from Denmark and Lithuania, while the Norwegian ones are a little less advanced and paler.

– What we see is that the environment affects young children. Norwegian children are more out in the woods, and have less time to perfect their drawing skills, says Flaten.

While 4-year-olds in countries like Denmark and Lithuania often use bright colors and draw other things, Norwegian 4-year-olds are often peeing, pooping, and farting. Here, a Norwegian 4-year-old draws poop.

happy your kitty made it, hope she has many good years left! <3

unlimited bean rations for our tuxedo-clad friends!

they will inevitably decide that they are more "equal" than the rest

Wow, this reminds me a lot of a quote from this great book we read in school called "Animal Farm." One of the pigs in the story basically said the exact same thing! The only thing is that, in the book, it was the animals acting like some people (or animals) were more equal than others, and not the humans. And the animals acting that way was the pigs, but I think the pigs were meant to be humans? Idk, but it was a really deep story that made me think a lot of things.

it is only for those with no hope that hope is given

or something like that
