For years, Deputy Mark Hayden sneaked away to look at naked women on his work computer for up to 20 minutes at a time while the County was paying him over $60 an hour.

Investigators found nearly 18,000 images and videos on his computer. He retired before KCSO could fire him.

For anybody who did not know the word "cop" in all of its meanings:

"A #cop is an informal term for a police officer. As a verb, cop is used in a variety of #slang expressions meaning “grab” or “obtain,” from copping a feel on someone (not recommended) to copping out on going to a party (= not going) to copping to (confessing to) eating the last slice of pizza."

Latest update on the drunk driving WA trooper is that prosecutors have begun slow walking the case and have not filed charges yet and they say it could take a year from the to decide!

We've also now learned the victim in this case was Jhoser Sanchez, who happens to be a Venezuelan immigrant.

"[Consensus decision making] stems from an act of sabotage committed at the very first #COP talks in Berlin in 1995, when fossil fuel-exporting governments, notably Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, supported by allied lobby groups – in particular the US-based Climate Council and Global Climate Coalition (GCC) – blocked what should have been the routine adoption of voting rules."

Da können bald noch viel mehr Landkarten ausrangiert und künstlerisch gestaltet werden, weil veraltet und im Unterricht nicht mehr nutzbar ... 🌊 🏝️

#ParisAgreement adé, lieber #COP unter nem Ölscheich sowie "Drill More!" ... 😢 #Trend

@SheDrivesMobility Imo it is consensus, that the climate crisis must be faced on an international level. The #COP is a platform which is takeing place regularly. The fact that they are fighting so hard is - for me - a sign that it is being taken seriously.
It wasn't to be expected, that the people, profiting from the status quo, would agree right away.
Change is a slow painfull process. I know it is hard to endure, but there is no quick way.

"#India overtook #China as the world's biggest importer of Russian oil in July"

"Russian #crude made up a record 44% of India's overall imports last month, rising to a record 2.07 million barrels per day (bpd), 4.2% higher than in June and 12% more than a year ago"

"India's requirement for Russian #oil is going to go up as long as there are no further tightening of sanctions"

Well I've been here for two years so time for a little review.

Have totally abandoned and actively avoid the #xitter site. Confess a modest time spent on #facebook almost entirely to promote/follow a couple of charities that are close to my heart, especially #RNLI

Have no desire to join any algorithm based system however blue the sky.

Kinda like the way the toots fly off into the ether and sometimes folk react, and sometimes not. Hoping I manage to spread a little happiness and bring a few smiles to people's faces.

I really should do more than boost, especially in relation to the #ClimateEmergency, after all I do have a Masters in Sustainability and Adaptation.

So today's thought for the day: we've probably lost #1point5c, #COP needs some urgent reform, #bigoil is relentless in it's lobbying, but we mustn't give up hope. We can work together, the little voices do matter. Never give up, never surrender!
