Sweden urged to end international adoptions
A Swedish inquiry exposed systemic abuse in international adoptions, including how children were trafficked and taken without consent.
A Swedish commission on Monday called for an end to international adoptions after uncovering widespread abuse and fraud spanning several decades.
"There have been confirmed cases of child trafficking in every decade from the 1970s to the 2000s, primarily in the context of private adoptions," Anna Singer said as she handed her report to Social Services Minister Camilla Waltersson Gronvall, who said her department would review it.
The investigation found that some children brought to Sweden were adopted without parental consent, falsely declared dead, or handed over by individuals who were not their legal guardians.

Presidential election outcome a blow to Poland's government
Right-wing conservative historian and euroskeptic Karol Nawrocki has won the Polish presidential runoff by a whisker. The result is a bitter blow for Donald Tusk's pro-European government.
Poland's State Election Commission announced on Monday morning that the right-wing conservative historian and euroskeptic Karol Nawrocki had received 50.89% of the vote in Sunday's presidential runoff, putting him marginally ahead of his liberal-conservative, pro-European rival, Rafal Trzaskowski, on 49.11%.
Nawrocki will be inaugurated in August, succeeding President Andrzej Duda, who, after two terms in office, was no longer able to run for president.
Nawrocki, a 42-year-old historian from Gdansk, was nominated by the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party. PiS presented Nawrocki as a non-partisan, independent "citizens' candidate" although his campaign was paid for and organized by the party and his program aligned with that of PiS.

Even Fox News isn’t impressed with Musk dodging question over alleged drug use
Howard Kurtz accused Tesla and X CEO of ‘deflection’ in answers about New York Times reporting
A Fox News host called out Elon Musk’s response to the New York Times report alleging drug use while the billionaire was working as Trump’s senior adviser at DOGE.
The Times report alleged that Musk was frequently using magic mushrooms, ecstasy, Adderall, and ketamine in amounts that caused him bladder issues.
When asked about the report during an Oval Office press briefing on Friday, Musk questioned the newspaper’s credibility.
“Wait, wait, The New York Times, is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate? Is it the same organization?” Musk replied. “Let’s move on.”
On Sunday, Fox News anchor Howard Kurtz called out Musk for refusing to answer the question directly, saying he “decided to talk about something from five years ago involving the Pulitzers because he knew that he did not want to answer that question. That’s my take.”

Trump threatens new 'Dark Age' with policy of 'deliberate destruction'
President Donald Trump's administration is pushing a "deliberate destruction of education, science, and history," wrote Adam Serwer in a scathing analysis for The Atlantic published on Tuesday — and it recalls the "Dark Ages" that followed the fall of the Roman Empire.
"Every week brings fresh examples," wrote Serwer. For instance, Trump "is threatening colleges and universities with the loss of federal funding if they do not submit to its demands, or even if they do. The engines of American scientific inquiry and ingenuity, such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, are under sustained attack. Historical institutions such as the Smithsonian and artistic ones like the Kennedy Center are being converted into homes for MAGA ideology rather than historical fact and free expression."
One of the most prominent of these attacks is on Harvard University, which the administration today announced will have all its remaining grants canceled, he said. That matter is currently the focus of legal action as Harvard fights back, but it's just the tip of the iceberg.
This purge is already snuffing out free thought across the country, wrote Serwer: "Libraries are losing funding, government-employed scientists are being dismissed from their jobs, educators are being cowed into silence, and researchers are being warned not to broach forbidden subjects. Entire databases of public-health information collected over decades are at risk of vanishing. Any facts that contradict the gospel of Trumpism are treated as heretical."
The result of all this will be to "undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us," he warned. "Like the inquisitors of old, who persecuted Galileo for daring to notice that the sun did not, in fact, revolve around the Earth, they believe that truth-seeking imperils their hold on power."
And the harm done to America's ability to conduct basic research to improve our lives and advance technology is hard for lay people to comprehend, he continued.
While private companies do a lot of innovation themselves, he continued, "the research that leads to that invention tends to be a costly gamble — for this reason, the government often takes on the initial risk that private firms cannot." For instance, "commercial flight, radar, microchips, spaceflight, advanced prosthetics, lactose-free milk, MRI machines — the list of government-supported research triumphs is practically endless." And even when private companies do their own research, it takes a back seat to profit — after all, "Exxon Mobil knew climate change was real decades ago, and nevertheless used its influence to raise doubt about findings it knew were accurate."
As the Trump administration burns down America's capabilities in the pursuit of destroying "forbidden ideas," Serwer concluded, history could be on track for a grim repeat: it "will dramatically impair the ability to solve problems, prevent disease, design policy, inform the public, and make technological advancements. Like the catastrophic loss of knowledge in Western Europe that followed the fall of Rome, it is a self-inflicted calamity. All that matters to Trumpists is that they can reign unchallenged over the ruins."

Felt that. Lemmy perfectly replicates (and improves) on the things I liked about Reddit. I don't need or want an algorithm for this, because you can just subscribe to all the communities you love anyway.
Meanwhile, Mastodon and Pixelfed are a struggle. Tagging is key since there's no algorithm, but even after following like 50+ tags, I still don't see exactly what I want in my feeds. I love fanart of games and anime, so I tried to pick pixelfed.art, but even then I don't see much, and also realized a large amount of artists are on mastodon.art instead, and the federation struggles to show me people not on Pixelfed. Hell, both official and 3rd party clients sometimes break when viewing a non-pixelfed account page. You seriously have to work to curate a feed on these places that make you want to come back.
I was never really a Twitter person, but I absolutely used Instagram and Pinterest a lot to look at art before I dropped them, so now I use Tumblr to not shut myself off entirely from fan content. So it's not a matter of me not liking Fediverse services like Pixelfed and Mastodon, but them lacking the methods necessary to make viewing content easier.
Don't get me started on Misskey, the language barrier isn't a problem for me as I am learning Japanese. But I feel a little lost with the UI, and once again, trying to find artists on other instances.
Right-wing opposition candidate Nawrocki wins Polish presidential election
Right-wing opposition presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki has won Poland’s presidential election, official results show. With 100% of districts having reported results, Nawrocki won 50.89% of the vote against 49.11% for his centrist, government-aligned rival, Rafał Trzaskowski.
Turnout stood at 71.63%, which is a record for a Polish presidential election, beating the 68.23% seen in 1995. It is also the second-highest turnout among all post-1989 Polish elections, behind only the 74.38% at the 2023 parliamentary election.
The outcome represents a remarkable victory for Nawrocki, a political novice who had never previously stood for elected office and trailed Trzaskowski in the polls for virtually the entire campaign. It will also have a huge influence on how Poland is governed during his five-year term.
Trzaskowski, who is deputy leader of Poland’s main ruling party, the centrist Civic Platform (PO), would have worked closely with the ruling coalition of PO Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
However, Nawrocki, technically an independent but whose candidacy was supported by the national-conservative opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party, is likely to wield his veto and other presidential powers to stymie the government’s agenda, just as the current PiS-aligned incumbent Andrzej Duda has done.
Trzaskowski, a multilingual former minister for European affairs and member of the European Parliament, would also have favoured closer relations with Brussels while Nawrocki – who was endorsed by the Trump administration during the campaign – is a eurosceptic who favours strong ties with Washington.
Sunday’s run-off vote came two weeks after Trzaskowski and Nawrocki had emerged as the top two candidates among 13 who stood in the first round two weeks earlier.
The initial exit poll, published immediately as voting ended at 9 p.m., placed Trzaskowski narrowly ahead, on 50.3%. However, with a margin of error of around 2 percentage points, that poll made the result too close to call.
Updated versions of the exit poll published later on Sunday and in the early hours of Monday – which also included the first official results as they began to filter through – showed a reversal of the situation, with Nawrocki now leading on 50.7%. That led many analysts to call the win for Nawrocki.
Among the first to congratulate Nawrocki on Monday morning was Duda, whose second and final term in office ends in August this year.
“It was a difficult, sometimes painful, but incredibly courageous fight for Poland, for how the affairs of our homeland are to be conducted,” wrote Duda, who endorsed Nawrocki during the campaign. “Thank you for this heroic fight until the last minute…Thank you…for the victory! Bravo!”
Duda, who himself defeated Trzaskowski at the 2020 presidential election, also thanked the losing candidate for his “determination in the fight for the presidency…[and] willingness to take responsibility for Poland”.
Neither Nawrocki nor Trzaskowski have yet commented on the result, but the first foreign leader to issue congratulations to Nawrocki was Petr Pavel, president of the neighbouring Czech Republic.
“I believe that, under his leadership, Poland will continue to develop its democratic and pro-Western direction and that our countries will continue their mutually beneficial cooperation,” wrote Pavel.
The final election results must also be confirmed by the Supreme Court’s chamber of extraordinary review and public affairs.
However, that process is shrouded in controversy because the chamber – which was created as part of the PiS party’s judicial reforms when it was in power – is regarded as illegitimate by Tusk’s government.
An attempt by the ruling coalition to change the way that the presidential election results are validated by the Supreme Court was vetoed in March this year by Duda
Sunday’s run-off vote comes at the end of a months-long campaign that has seen the interrelated issues of security and migration at the forefront.
The war in neighbouring Ukraine has seen both candidates pledge to continue efforts to bolster Poland’s defence capabilities through expansion and modernisation of the armed forces.
Nawrocki, however, has taken a much tougher line regarding Ukraine itself, including signing a pledge not to ratify its accession to NATO if he becomes president. Tusk, as well as Ukraine’s ambassador to Poland, criticised that decision, saying that it echoed Russian demands.
Both candidates have also pledged to clamp down on immigration and on the support given to immigrants already in Poland, though again Nawrocki has taken tougher positions.
Trzaskowski, meanwhile, has pledged that, if he were to become president, he would seek to sign bills liberalising the abortion law, introducing same-sex civil partnerships and undoing PiS’s judicial reforms.
Nawrocki, by contrast, holds deeply conservative views on social issues and has pledged not to sign any bills ending the current near-total ban on abortion.
During the final stages of the campaign, Nawrocki was hit by a series of scandals. It came to light that he had lied about only having one apartment. Not only did he own a second, but various questions came to light over how he had come to possess it and how he treated the elderly, disabled man living there.
Subsequently, a leading news website, Onet, reported that Nawrocki had helped procure prostitutes for guests at a luxury hotel where he worked as a security guard. Nawrocki denied the claims – based on testimony by anonymous former colleagues – and pledged to sue Onet.
Meanwhile, Trzaskowski faced questions after it emerged that hundreds of thousands of zloty had been spent on Facebook adverts supporting him and attacking Nawrocki.
The provenance of that money remains unclear, but there is a chance it came from abroad, which would be illegal under Polish election law. Trzaskowski has insisted that he and his staff had no involvement in or knowledge of the campaign.

AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers
TL;DR
- Google has made it harder to build custom Android ROMs for Pixel phones by omitting their device trees and driver binaries from the latest AOSP release.
- The company says this is because it’s shifting its AOSP reference target from Pixel hardware to a virtual device called “Cuttlefish” to be more neutral.
- While Google insists AOSP isn’t going away, developers must now reverse-engineer changes, making the process for supporting Pixel devices more difficult.

‘Absolutely Brilliant Result’ – Zelensky Says All Operatives in ‘Spiderweb’ Drone Op in Russia Safe
Late on Sunday night, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on social media that all of the operatives of the nation’s security services, SBU, who had participated in a a raid earlier in the day that knocked out about $7 billion in Russian military aircraft within the invading country’s airfields, were safe in Ukraine and accounted for.
The operation was dubbed “Spiderweb.”
“An absolutely brilliant result,” the president wrote.
“A result achieved solely by Ukraine. One year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution. Our most long-range operation. Our people involved in preparing the operation were withdrawn from Russian territory in time,” Zelensky wrote on Facebook.

Poland presidential election 2025: rightwing candidate Karol Nawrocki wins, official results show – live
The populist-right opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice party (PiS), has won Poland’s presidential election, defeating his pro-European rival Rafał Trzaskowski, in a nail-bitingly close contest.
Official results showed Nawrocki took 50.89% of votes in the runoff, with Trzaskowski on 49.11%.
Nawrocki’s victory is a major blow for the coalition government led by Donald Tusk and is expected to prolong the current political deadlock in the country as well as complicate the country’s position in Europe.

Israel fears the threat of trade sanctions — but is the EU ready to follow through? | Martin Konečný
After many months of inaction and complicity in the face of Israel’s destruction of Gaza, Europe is finally beginning to stir. Tens of thousands of people killed and attacks on schools and hospitals had apparently not been enough. But, along with the blocking of humanitarian aid and open calls for ethnic cleansing, Israel’s actions finally became too severe to ignore, deny or justify. In recent weeks, a cascade of unusually strong statements, diplomatic rebukes and threats of sanctions has emerged from European capitals – each move amplifying the next, as if a long-dormant herd has suddenly jolted into motion.
Among these developments, the most significant may be the possible suspension of the EU-Israel association agreement, which grants Israel preferential access to the world’s largest single market. Last month, the Dutch foreign minister, Caspar Veldkamp, broke the EU’s silence with a letter demanding a formal review of Israel’s compliance with article 2 of the agreement, which requires it to “respect human rights”.
That move triggered a wave of other EU states lining up behind the idea. At the 20 May meeting of EU foreign ministers, a clear majority – 17 member states – backed the Dutch proposal. EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, who had appeared sceptical ahead of the meeting, seemed to shift during the discussion and at the end clearly announced the launch of the review.
Is this a real turning point or just more empty words? That remains to be seen.
The EU faces a moment of truth. Will it follow through on trade sanctions on Israel – or slide into irrelevance?
A human rights review of EU-Israel ties is under way. The results will be significant for both the war and Europe’s reputation, says Martin Konečný, head of the European Middle East ProjectMartin Konečný (The Guardian)
UK prosecutors collaborate with Israel to persecute anti-genocide activists as 'terrorists': Report
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/5093117
The UK's neo-liberal New Labour regime happily lies in bed together with fascist Tel Aviv.Snip:
UK prosecutors are colluding with Israeli embassy officials to classify protesters resisting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza as terrorists and to imprison them on heavily politicized grounds, an investigation by The Grayzone journalist Kit Klarenberg showed.
“Documents released by the British government reveal that London has been coordinating with Israeli officials to prosecute protestors associated with activist group Palestine Action for disrupting the operations of Elbit Systems, which manufactures deadly weapons being used in the genocide in Gaza,” Klarenberg wrote.
The documents suggest that Israel has successfully lobbied the UK to abandon well-established legal standards in order to charge activists resisting Israel’s genocide under harsh counter-terror laws.

That's well beyond merelly "neo-liberal" and already into Fascist.
Mind you, Israel bought the current British Government by having Israeli-linked Jewish Organisations support the campaign that smeared Corbyn as an anti-semite in order to topple him from the leadership of the Labour party and bring these guys in which, in due course given that the UK has a First Past The Post electoral system, rotated positions with the Tories and became the governing party, so zero surprise that the British Government is just a puppet of the Israeli regime.
I'm just glad the UK has left the EU so that their rot doesn't interfere with how things work in the EU (it's bad enough that we have Racist and increasingly Authoritarian Germany and Austria, not to mention the outright Fascist Hungary, we don't need the country were de facto the two main parties are Fascist).
Nah, this isn't uncharacteristic for neoliberalism. Siding with fascists for imperialist reasons is the neolib way, and the Brits traditionally use a less restrained hand when censoring speech.
Even in the US, with our near free speech absolution, neolibs were supportive as cops cracked down hard on peaceful civil disobedience. If that's what American liberals were willing to do when bought by Israeli lobbyists, this makes perfect sense for the British version of the Democratic party. They'll be replaced by the proper fascists come next election anyhow.
I lived in the UK as an EU immigrant for a decade up to Brexit, and my feelingby the time I left was that they by then were pretty close to just being a posher version of Fascism.
Maybe Fascism is really just the natural end state of Neoliberal Capitalism: you can only go so far in helping the few pillage the wealth of the many before you have to start throwing the empoverished masses some outsiders (immigrants, other nations) and powerless insiders (like the poor and minorities) as scapegoats to distract them away from the (very much local) powerfull that are making them poorer, and as people grow increasingly skeptical of the traditional propaganda machine (for example, all the celebrating of a "growing GDP" doesn't work quite as well when people feel their pockets getting ever lighter) start forcefully cracking down on any dissent that's gaining traction and endangers the interests of the powerful.
Certainly I can't seen any end state of Neoliberalism that's not either Revolution or Authoritarism: all those politicians who got used to an environment were it's entirelly legal and totally normalized for them to get non-executive board memberships, gold-plated consulting gigs and millionaire speech-circuit fees from people they were "friendly" towards whilst in power, aren't going to turn to the people whose "friendship" yields such payouts and tell them they're going to start having to take a smaller cut of the country's wealth and pay more taxes, hence the only ultimate outcomes left are either some kind of Revolution of the masses that forces a cleanup of the political system, or increasing authoritarian measures to stop the masses from rebelling and given that if they're already rebelling it's usually too late (certainly it's far harder to stop it, impossibly so with no damage), what's normally done is to control information and to keep the masses divided and fighting amongst themselves - hence things like Identity Politics, which you can see in the US being fully weaponized - so that they don't rebel again the powerful.
Federated 3d printing design hub like Thingiverse?
I'm just curious if anyone knows of an effort to build a federated version of something like Thingiverse, Printables, Thangs, etc. I'm not really a fan of the centralized control, commercial tie-ins and profit motivations of those and similar sites, but the community of collaboration and remixing designs means they are basically indispensable for time efficient 3d printing, they're basically like the Github of 3d printing.
For me the ideal would be to have a federated alternative where users can host and share their own creations and collections, as well as rate and comment each other's designs to help improve discoverability of the best models in the community. This seems like something that would be a good fit for the ActivityPub protocol but I'm not sure if there is something like this already out there. All I could find is this old reddit post that seems to have gotten a lot of support (and good suggestions for features) in the comments but has gone nowhere as far as I can tell.

Tehran unravels documents exposing secret IAEA-'Israel' collusion
Iranian media outlets on Thursday published a series of documents that reportedly reveal covert coordination between IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi and "Israel", a collaboration Iranian officials say was designed to politicize the agency’s oversight of Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
The documents were obtained by Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence in what was described as a high-level intelligence operation, sources revealed to Al Mayadeen.
According to reports by Fars News Agency, the documents expose a long-standing partnership between Grossi and Israeli officials, showing that the IAEA chief repeatedly acted in alignment with Israeli directives regarding Iran’s nuclear file.
The unveiled documents implicate Merav Zafary-Odiz, "Israel’s" permanent representative to the IAEA from 2014 to 2016, as playing a pivotal role in advancing Tel Aviv’s position within the agency. According to the documents, she regularly criticized Iran’s cooperation during Board of Governors meetings and accused the previous IAEA chief, Yukiya Amano, of disseminating “inaccurate” information about Iran’s nuclear progress.

Gaza doctor who lost nine children in Israeli airstrike dies from wounds in same attack
A Palestinian father who had lost nine of his 10 children in an Israeli airstrike has died from wounds sustained in the same attack, local health officials have said.
Hamdi al-Najjar, 40, a doctor at Nasser hospital, was critically injured when Israeli forces bombed the family house in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on 23 May, killing nine of his children. He had just returned home after accompanying his wife Alaa, a paediatrician at the Nasser medical complex, to work when the building was struck. He had initially survived alongside his son Adam, 11, who is still in hospital.
Even by the terrible standards of the Gaza conflict, their deaths had shocked the international community.
Footage shared by the director of Gaza’s health ministry and verified by the Guardian showed the burnt, dismembered bodies of Najjar’s children being pulled from the rubble of their house near a petrol station as flames engulfed what remained of the family’s home.

We have some really disgusting people running this world these days. I thought humanity would figure things out eventually but we seem wholly incapable of learning anything from past attrocities for longer than a few generations
Shouldn't have launched missiles at Israel on October 7th. I know they've been fighting since 1948, but perhaps that bombing put Israel's barrage into overtime.
Who would have thought that Jews and Muslims can't share the same land.
A fight over the holy land, and people care more about the Muslims than the Jews and their 6 million death genocide during WW2.
Is it because Trump supports Israel?
Is it because the Palestinians are the rightful owners of the holy land?
Either way, you can thank the almighty Great Britain for this holy war and bringing down the ottoman empire.
It's a tough situation for either side. A whole planet and the two contradicting ideologies are trying to inhabit the same land.
Hopefully, both sides find peace.
They lived together fine for many years. People are concerned about Palestinians because there is accepted scholarly consensus that they are being killed en masse in a genocide waged by Israel and supported materially by the US and it's allies. Likely at least 100,000 Palestinian people have been killed since October 2023.This isn't a competition for who is the most worthy victim historically between Muslims and Jews, innocent families, entire neighborhoods are being obliterated by Israel right now. Thousands of children are at risk of starving because of the total blockade by Israel. Many Jewish people disagree with what is happening and would prefer to share the space in peace.
Supporting Palestine and recognizing this as genocide has nothing to do with recognizing the horrors of the holocaust and feeling sympathy for the Jewish victims of antisemitism, they are not contradictory positions.

Una giungla di fenomeni.
(167)
Nel cuore impenetrabile della giungla malese, dodici intrepidi avventurieri affrontano un viaggio estremo, tra fango, sudore e liane, alla ricerca di un montepremi da dividersi alla fine del percorso. Ma non sono esploratori, non sono ex militari, e no, nemmeno boy scout. Sono... professionisti digitali. O qualcosa del genere.
I loro titoli? Un tripudio di inglesismi, abbreviazioni e parole che, messe insieme, sembrano generate da un algoritmo ubriaco: content creator, consulente creativo, digital strategist, autore di contenuti web, project manager di progetti fluidi (ma quali?). Alcuni sono “ex manager”, che non si capisce bene se vuol dire che hanno lasciato la scrivania o se è la scrivania ad aver lasciato loro.
Li vediamo marciare tra le zanzare e i serpenti come se dovessero raggiungere il Wi-Fi più vicino, mentre il sudore scioglie l’ultima traccia di ceretta alle sopracciglia e i loro zaini sembrano contenere più prodotti skincare che strumenti di sopravvivenza. Il vero pericolo, però, non è la natura selvaggia: sono le tentazioni.
Ad ogni bivio, una nuova prova morale: una bistecca tomahawk da 240 euro, una suite con aria condizionata e minibar, un massaggio balinese a otto mani. Se uno di loro cede – e, spoiler: cedono spesso – il montepremi si riduce. Tutti si indignano, ma poi, alla tentazione successiva, cambiano idea. Perché rinunciare a una Jacuzzi in mezzo alla giungla solo per lasciare agli altri qualche euro in più?
E qui sorge spontanea una domanda: se questi sono i lavori del futuro, noi che ci svegliavamo alle sette per timbrare il cartellino abbiamo sbagliato tutto? Forse. Ma resta il dubbio: cosa fanno, esattamente, queste persone?
Uno dice: “Creo contenuti emozionali per il web”. Che potrebbe voler dire scrivere una poesia, girare un reel con la nonna, o semplicemente filmarsi mentre beve un cappuccino con lo sguardo assorto. Un altro è “strategic planner esperienziale”, cioè, se abbiamo capito bene, organizza eventi dove la gente si sente ispirata a investire in sé stessa. Un terzo “ha lasciato la finanza per seguire il cuore”, e oggi racconta la propria trasformazione interiore tramite podcast. Spoiler: la finanza sembra sentirsi benissimo anche senza di lui.
Certo, i tempi cambiano, e non tutti devono sapere riparare un tubo o accendere un fuoco con due sassi. Ma in certi momenti – tipo quando piove da tre giorni e bisogna costruire un riparo – l’assenza di skill pratiche diventa più evidente del fard sbavato sulle guance. E la giungla, quella vera, non fa sconti ai CEO di sé stessi.
Alla fine, mentre il montepremi si assottiglia e le prove si moltiplicano, resta solo una certezza: nella giungla digitale di oggi, l’unica vera sopravvivenza è farsi notare. Anche se l’unica cosa che si è costruita, finora, è un profilo LinkedIn pieno di parole che non significano nulla.

Egypt detains 200 Gaza protesters, including about 30 from Netherlands
Egyptian authorities have detained approximately 200 pro-Palestinian activists from more than 40 countries, including about 30 from the Netherlands, ahead of a planned protest march to the Gaza border. Many Dutch participants reportedly said they were subjected to “unjust and humiliating treatment,” including being held for hours without food, water, medical care, or information.
Approximately 100 Dutch nationals had traveled to Egypt for the march, representing a diverse range of backgrounds, according to the Dutch public broadcaster NOS. Among them were students, teachers, healthcare workers, retirees and artists. Organizers said 18 members of the European Parliament were also expected to join the protest.
One of those detained was the sister of Mark van Rennes, the captain of the protest ship Madleen, who is currently imprisoned in Israel. She was among approximately 30 Dutch activists deported from Egypt to Istanbul, Turkey. She has since confirmed her arrival in Istanbul and is expected to land at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport around 2 p.m., likely accompanied by many of the other deported Dutch citizens, NOS reported.

Not in the field, but I think it depends. It's for sure more dangerous on average if we consider the entire world, but I feel like that's mostly because of certain areas (US w/ toothless FAA and ATC shortage, Russia with the war&part shortages etc, ...) and new Boeing aircraft.
Flying is still the safest mode of travel per km, and if you're flying Airbus/Embraer/COMAC/pre-2010 Boeing it's likely as safe as it was a decade ago. However it kinda sucks due to all the greenhouse gas emissions.
George Stephanopoulos Rips Trump for Monetizing Presidency
George Stephanopoulos, on Sunday, ripped President Donald Trump — highlighting the “unprecedented money-making by a sitting president and his family.”
In a scorching show open on ABC’s This Week, Stephanopoulos called out the Trumps for cashing in on the office — while noting that those who are filling the Trump family coffers are benefitting from “official actions” taken by the White House.
“The scale is staggering,” Stephanopoulos said. “President Trump and his family are making hundreds of millions, potentially billions of dollars — as Trump and his administration take official actions that benefit contributors and investors.”
The ABC News anchor called out Trump’s “pardons to tax cheats,” and various windfalls originating from the Trump family’s foray into cryptocurrency.

"Official Actions". Two very important words, because thanks to the Supreme Court even a future Congress can't even investigate this, much less do anything about it. And forget about this congress lifting a god damned finger, outside of the middle one they keep giving to the people who voted for them.
Fediverse for teens
I have three teenage daughters who are currently not allowed on social media. But I want to give them some ability before they become adults. My eldest gave me a PowerPoint presentation on why she should be allowed on Snapchat, lol.
She made some good points. Her friend group has a group text and she wants to keep up with everyone but doesn’t want to get the ding notifications constantly.
Feels like a good opportunity for a Fediverse platform. Like a closed Mastodon/Pixelfed server and have some parental controls. Any projects out there?
Torture and Forced Disappearances: Inside Wagner’s Secret Prisons in Mali

Cool state department propaganda bro. I prefer state department funded admissions of letting terrorism run rampant in the region across years and years of expensive military deployment, though. africacenter.org/spotlight/fiv… I don't think anyone is taking the Guantanamo Bay guys seriously with the "hey look, a Russian bird!" shit. You are not going to convince people that Africa is worse off with the Russians and Chinese.
If you DM me I will be happy to send you videos of the Ukrainians torturing their own soldiers with an electrified bedframe, which I got from Azov Telegram myself. That is, if you're curious why I can immediately intuit that "Viktoriaa" is full of shit.

European ISPs Complain About 'Disproportionate' Pirate Site Blocking
Internet providers are increasingly tasked in the role of anti-piracy enforcers and instructed to block pirate websites and services. In Europe, court-ordered blockades are now commonplace, but ISPs are cautious when it comes to further expansion. In a recent submission to the EU Commission, EuroISPA, which represents over 3,300 ISPs, complains about "disproportionate" blocking measures, as recently seen in Italy, Spain and elsewhere.

Turns out the combo works great, even with games and Steam, so I'm quite happy with it.

Honestly I don't even remember what they were anymore. I think screen capture was a big one though.
