Waxwings: The Drunk Birds of the World
When waxwings eat fermented fruit, they can become quite drunk. They may lose their coordination, fly erratically, and even pass out. In some cases, waxwings have even been known to die from alcohol poisoning.
Wise passers-by are often seen collecting drunk waxwings from sidewalks and putting them in safe places until they sober up to protect them from predators and other hazards.
#Liberal #Canada PM #Trudeau says #Conservative Pierre #Poilievre is abandoning #Ukraine due to #Trump influence.
"The real story is the rise of a #RightWing, #American #MAGA influence thinking that has made #Canadian #Conservatives, who used to be among the strongest defenders of Ukraine... turn their backs on something Ukraine needs in its hour of need," Trudeau said.
Poilievre is leading in all Canadian polls.
Trump is a conservative candidate in #US #Election2024.

Update: Since this post is getting attention again, I should probably let everyone know that I got #FediHired by a nice little AI company about two months ago 👩🏻🎤 thank you all for helping make that possible, and I'm sorry for blowing up your timelines with this update 🤪
Well, the company I work(ed) for just folded. Poof! 💩⛈️.
No notice, no severance, no nothing. 🤬
So I'm asking for boosts and leads. If anyone needs someone who knows data, please reach out.
I'm located in Seattle, WA. Remote preferred.
Last few titles include: CDO, Head of Data, and Sr. Operations Analyst.
I've worked in gaming, fintech, and B2C/C2C marketplaces most recently.
I'm proficient in Python, SQL, statistics, team management, (almost) all things data-related, and a host of other stuff.
I'm opinionated and anti-capitalist, but I also routinely bring in multiple times my department's cost in profits for the companies I work for.
I'm also hella nice (despite my RBF) and easy to get along with.
God, pitching myself is so awkward.
That's the toot. Thanks.
💜💜💜
Edit: I wanted to say thank you to everyone who is sharing this and a huge thank you to everyone who has reached out with encouragement and leads. This community is amazing.
Edit 2: I'm going through all the replies I got, and will reach out to a lot of you soon. I've just finished updating my resume and LinkedIn.
I realize that I'm going to have to give up some of my anonymity when I respond to people, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone I send my resume or LinkedIn profile to could keep my work and personal life separate. Thank you.
💜💜💜

It is extremely dangerous that Donald Trump is using his social platform to threaten and intimidate judges and prosecutors in his various trials.
He is intentionally destabilizing the legal process. It's hard to believe it's possible, but this is actually worse than Jan 6.
If he does not stop, his bail should be rescinded and he should go to jail for the duration of the trials.
@JoshuaHolland @mapto Right. But that’s 17 years ago. No coalition of adults have tried anything since that point? What am I missing where 1.45 million adults have absolutely no agency at all? I realize the Hamas millionaires and billionaires actually live in Qatar. But billions have been poured into the strip and all they’ve managed to do it build and underground fighting force?
Why didn’t they turn Gaza into a Singapore instead of an underground fighting force?
