    “Collapsing Empire: US creates new African psyops unit”

    “The Pentagon has activated a new psychological operations unit targeting Africa, tasked with ‘expanding the military’s ability to influence foreign audiences’ across the continent. The heavily hyped launch occurs against a backdrop of dramatically and irreversibly waning Western influence and power in every sphere across the continent. As Africans steadily rid themselves of unwelcome foreign occupiers and oppressors, the US is forced to rely on strategies of manipulation to stem the tide, which have already failed spectacularly. They will surely misfire yet again”

  3. @mybirdcards
    It’s a spangled drongo. Said to be the only drongo in Australia (Wikipedia) but that’s not right. There are lots of drongos in Australia but most are not birds. 😀

  5. I got a new bird greeting card up on my shop! It’s a Racket-tailed Drongo from Asia.

    I do all these myself in Procreate—no artificial generating involved. I print, pack and post them all myself, too!

    Here’s the speedpaint: makertube.net/w/nELfJN2oAcjGbb

    And here’s the livestream when I made it: makertube.net/w/seDAsqWm3LNt4g

    AND here’s a free phone wallpaper version for ya!

  7. An old quiz programme on TV mentioned the Australian word "drongo" - a bird in addition to being slang for a dumbass - and it's been a ridiculous number of years since I last heard it used as a mild insult. Reminds me of when we were cruising around South America and got talking to some Aussies and one of them actually said "Fair dinkum" to us. Like something out of the movies. We were stupidly happy to hear it.

  9. Egg signatures allow #drongos to identify #cuckoo forgeries almost every time

    When perfection isn't enough: host egg signatures are an effective defence against high-fidelity African cuckoo #mimicry. By Jess Lund et al. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "African #cuckoos may have met their match with the fork-tailed #drongo, which can detect and reject cuckoo #eggs from their nest on almost every occasion, despite them on average looking almost identical to drongo eggs."
