I love the way each of the six baby crocodiles in this photo seems to have a completely distinct personality.
Top (l.-r.): Introvert, idealist, jerk
Bottom (l.-r.): Class clown, stoner, pessimist

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
