Nululu's JournalOregon outlaws wildlife killing contests
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon has officially prohibited wildlife killing contests — a competitive event among hunters who want to win cash or other prizes for killing animals within a certain timeframe.
The Humane Society of the United States says other forms of contest such as dogfighting and cockfighting have been denounced for years now, but the competitive hunting of coyotes, rabbits, squirrels and other animals has remained legal in most states. Just in 2018, the organization went undercover at a killing contest in Oregon’s Malheur National Forest.

Zaslov continues destruction, next TCM
Zaslav's destruction continues. After CNN HBO coming for TCM
He Made a Mess of CNN. Now He’s Ruining Turner Classic Movies Too.David Zaslav, whose Chris Licht hire butchered CNN, is vandalizing TCM, a beloved cultural icon.
Zaslav had spent most of the previous year taking heavy criticism for the way he was running the company, slashing budgets and jobs, shrinking streaming libraries, and even shelving nearly finished movies so they could be used as tax write-offs. His efforts to make CNN more appealing to conservative voters had bombed spectacularly, cratering the network’s ratings

Southern Baptists Eject & Reject Female Ministers
The Southern Baptist Convention voted overwhelming Wednesday to uphold earlier decisions to expel two churches because they have women pastors.
The decision came during the group's annual meeting in New Orleans. The SBC heard appeals by California megachurch Saddleback and a smaller church, Fern Creek Baptist in Louisville, Ky.
Saddleback Church ordained a woman as a campus pastor, and the Kentucky congregation has had a woman pastor for more than three decades.

Muskrat halts Ukraine posting on twitter through their phones.
Ukrainian users cannot log in to Twitter using their mobile number, as the company has stopped sending two-factor authentication codes. It appears to be the result of a broader problem that Elon Musk calls the “bot war.”
Back on Sunday, the eccentric billionaire tweeted a warning that “the bots are in for a surprise tomorrow”. After which, as Platformer found out, in the following hours, Twitter blocked the traffic of approximately 30 mobile operators around the world, effectively cutting off access to hundreds of thousands of accounts, primarily in the Asia-Pacific region.
The project was part of Elon Musk’s attempt to rid Twitter of spam. But instead of working to remove individual offenders, the company identified mobile operators used by major spam networks in specific countries and blocked their users from receiving SMS messages from Twitter, affecting people with two-factor authentication. Then it completely blocked traffic from these operators.

Complaints started pouring in almost immediately as legitimate users found they couldn’t access Twitter.
The same thing is happening now with Ukrainian users, whom Elon Musk called bots not so long ago, after receiving hundreds of thousands of responses to his “peace plan”, in which he called on Ukraine to essentially capitulate in the war with Russia.
As Platformer points out, after users started complaining about the problem, Twitter quickly unblocked operators and told them the outage was caused by “routing configuration changes.” However, the problem remains relevant for Ukraine. One can only hope that this is indeed a technical problem and not Musk’s petty revenge.

I waited too long to schedule it for myself and my husband. I found appointments in late December and January. Our local pharmacy is scheduling vaccines once an hour instead of 3x an hour.
Don't wait to schedule. Don't procrastinate.
