Trump uses presidential seal at LIV Golf tournament in Bedminster, N.J. – The Washington Post

Former president Donald Trump was spotted using the presidential seal on multiple items during the LIV Golf tournament at his Bedminster, N.J., golf course.

The seal was plastered on towels, golf carts and other items as the former president participated in the pro-am event of the Saudi-sponsored tournament Thursday.

It is against federal law to use the presidential and vice-presidential seals in ways that could convey “a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States.”

While violating this law could result in imprisonment of “not more than six months,” a fine or both, these punishments are rarely doled out.

Facebook Approved Pro-Genocide Ads in Kenya – Slashdot

Kenya’s national cohesion watchdog threatened to suspend Facebook from the country Friday if it doesn’t mitigate hate speech ahead of the country’s general elections next month. From a report:The regulator has given the company one week to remediate the problem, which included Facebook’s approval of ads advocating for ethnic cleansing. Human rights organizations and the Facebook whistleblower are calling on Facebook to immediately suspend all advertising in Kenya and take other emergency steps. The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), a Kenyan agency founded to mitigate ethnic violence and promote national healing in the wake of the 2007-08 post-election crisis, told reporters on Friday that Facebook was “in violation of the laws of our country.” Source: Facebook Approved Pro-Genocide Ads in Kenya – Slashdot

… Otro de los temas preocupantes es que las generaciones de la hora contemporánea, al nacer, ya se encuentran inmersas en ambientes locales, nacionales y globales de ausencia de amor y de bien, desbordantes de odio y de violencia, maquillados de asuntos, modas y tendencias que parecen ser la verdad, carentes de sentimientos nobles y de racionalidad. Quienes nacen, en los minutos actuales, se acostumbran, por tratarse de su época y de lo que está a su alcance, a la escasez, las crisis económicas, las guerras, las enfermedades contagiosas y el control de los más poderosos a los más débiles. No saben que alguna vez hubo alegrías, creatividad, ilusiones, libertad, originalidad y sueños. No disponen de elementos de comparación. La gente que pudo relatarles cómo era el mundo apenas unos años antes, ya murió o anda ocupada en diferentes…

“Stupid is as stupid does”

(My apologies to Keith in advance, but sometimes you just gotta get it out of your system)

Now, I know I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so before I start criticizing others, I’ll tell you about my latest moment of dumb.  Our electricity went out yesterday afternoon.  I was sitting here writing when the lamp beside me went out, and I thought the bulb had just blown, but at the same time, my granddaughter screeched that her computer had shut down.  Then the neighbor came over to ask if our electricity was out, as was his.  So, I grabbed my laptop to send Duke Energy a text, but … duh … the internet was out!  So, I managed to send them a text via my phone, and they immediately responded, saying that they were aware of the outage, crews were on their way…

Der Bosporus von oben

Senioren um die Welt

Der Bosporus ist eine der wichtigsten Wasserstraßen weltweit. Er verbindet das Schwarze Meer mit dem Marmarameer und trennt den europäischen Teil der Türkei von dem wesentlich größeren Teil im asiatischen Hinterland. Der Kanal schlängelt sich etwa 30 Kilometer zwischen den beiden Kontinenten hindurch, er ist durchschnittlich nur 2 km breit, an einer Stelle sogar nur 750 m. Innerhalb des Bosporus liegt das Goldene Horn auf der westlichen Seite, es ist eine langgezogene Bucht, und es gibt einen natürlichen Hafen, der seit langem genutzt wird.
