Oh neat, some good news this Monday:

1. Musk told to fuck off by Judge re: MediaMatters or w/e
reuters.com/technology/musks-x

2. UNSC passes Cease Fire, US Abstains, mitigating some complicity in ongoing mass murder / collective punishment.

3. Boeing CEO to fuck off.

I'm not used to more than one piece of good news at a time so this is truly a remarkable post.

CONTINUED good news:

4. Women taking autonomy into their own hands, self-managed abortions soar.
theguardian.com/world/2024/mar

Please note: TheGuardian's framing here is very, very fashy, "Tip of an iceberg, you know, the thing that wrecked the Titanic and is a maritime killer."

TheGuardian COULD say: preliminary data suggests abortion access more integral to women's health than previous thought, mifepristone particularly vital.

But no they use red flag fash warning shit.

The Guardian · ‘Tip of the iceberg’: US self-managed abortions soar post-Roe, study showsBy Carter Sherman

@hannu_ikonen well at least USA didn’t veto on number 2 thus showing a modicum of testicular fortitude. Maybe just a smidge but it’s a start.

@hannu_ikonen
Thanks. I needed some cheering up/good news.

@hannu_ikonen
Don't forget that EU opened new investigations to improper market actions for Google, Apple and Meta. This WILL have repercussions globally.

@hannu_ikonen
This seems like the bit to lead with:

"Medical experts widely agree that it is physically safe to self-manage an abortion early on in pregnancy, and the World Health Organization even offers a protocol for doing so. It is also technically legal to end your own pregnancy in almost every state, including in the 16 states that have enacted near-total abortion bans."

@hannu_ikonen
You'd make a damned fine news anchor on the kind of network I'd put my trust in.
