Interesting choice of colors for Bruce Springsteen guitarist Van Zandt’s latest guitar.

According to guitar maker Woody Woodcasters, the guitar has been used to open Springsteen’s concerts with the song “No surrender”.

The chorus lyrics are:

🎵 Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter's night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender 🎶

This is the second time that Sen. Bob Menendez has been indicted for corruption. He needs to resign and allow Gov. Murphy to fill that vacancy with someone who does right by the people of New Jersey.

See how easy that is to say, GOP?

This will be a major storyline of the next year: how #Ukraine fatigue, or outright opposition to Ukrainian victory, will play a role in the 2024 presidential campaign.

Fighting this ‘Ukraine fatigue’ is one of the reasons The Counteroffensive exists in the first place.

We believe that by writing compelling, human-first stories about people going through the news, we can keep interest and public attention on this terrible conflict.

Hot Gossip From A Global Warmer!

This is some seriously underrated tea on #Chevron, the oil company acting like Regina George (actually though).

By Eamon Levesque | Jul 31, 2023

From the article:

#Donziger ’s three-decade legal battle with #Chevron is a pain to summarize. Key to understand is that he represented 30,000 #Ecuadorian #indigenous residents of the #Amazon in a lawsuit against oil giant Chevron.

"Ukrainian scholars answer Russian aggression with #science

(...) The bombing of the House of the #Scientists is another example of #Russia’s centuries-long effort to obliterate #Ukraine, efforts which include the Holodomor (the famine in the 1930s caused by taking Ukraine’s grain during which as many as four million people died) and the murder of thousands of Ukrainian intellectuals and cultural leaders in the early 1920s.

“The aggressors hoped for a total collapse of the Ukrainian government, economy, but above all, the social fabric of society. So it was critical to prove them wrong,” said [Volodymyr Dubovyk, professor of international relations]. “None of those attacks have stopped us from moving on, living our lives, doing our lot, including in the field of education.

Putin’s continued and, indeed, escalating war makes Ukrainians, “scholars included, even more bent on proving the aggressor has failed”, said Dubovyk."

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll talk about #NAFO and its achievements. Pro-Kremlin accounts and Russian opposition often claim that NAFO is nothing but a harassment movement, but this statement couldn't be further from the truth.

@knittingknots2 Yeah, I get it. I was pretty anti-twitter for a while, but I can see that it's still a huge resource for journalists.
