On Tuesday, staff at the British Museum were reportedly told there would be a large corporate event that evening.
They said they were asked to leave work early.
The event, was no corporate affair. This clandestine party had been organised by the Israeli embassy to celebrate the anniversary of Israel's 77th Independence Day.
The keynote speech was given by Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely, who once called the Nakba an "Arab lie".

For weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.
One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.

We still need better rules for e-bikes
Forget electric cars: The real global EV success story is electric bikes. But in some jurisdictions, a lack of regulation and enforcement of some pretty basic rules around classifications and batteries is threatening to undo that much progress. In the current environment, is there any hope of ironing this out?

A huge thanks to my sponsors this year. They support this channel, so please support them. They also make amazing products that I use every day and endorse without hesitation.
I’ve been riding Priority bikes for a number of years. I love their low-maintenance, belt-drive design, and they offer good quality at a decent price. They signed on as a sponsor for my YouTube channel several years after I started riding them.
My daily summertime bike is the zippy and fun Priority Eight: alnk.to/1XWoxFO
With its fenders, hub dynamo lights and durable if not exactly speedy Enviolo internal hub gearing system, I’ve happily ridden the Priority Continuum Onyx through many Canadian winters: alnk.to/gKS5Jlw
Abus Bike Locks. If you’re riding in a city, you need a good-quality bike lock, and you can’t do much better than Abus and their diverse lineup of locks: abus.com/
My book Frostbike: The Joy, Pain and Numbness of Winter Cycling: amzn.to/42EBzO6
Here is some of the gear I’m currently using. Some of these are affiliate links.
Bike Lights: I love dynamo lights that are built into a bike and powered by your pedalling or the wheel’s movement, but if you need aftermarket lights, Lumos offers a number of great options. Their Firefly lights are simple and bright: collabs.shop/3uodbz
Helmet: If I’m riding for sports, such as mountain biking or road bike, I like Lumos helmets because they are comfortable and well-built, and you can also easily attach lights to stay as visible as possible on roads: collabs.shop/prkigy
Bell: I love the sound and quality of the Japanese-made Crane Bells: cranebellusa.com/
Saddle: Yes, they can be pricey, but I’ve joined the ranks of people who think the extra cost for the quality of a Brooks Saddle is worth it, in both durability and comfort: brooksengland.com/
Panniers: My everyday workhorse pannier is Two Wheel Gear’s Pannier Backpack Convertible 2.0: twowheelgear.com/collections/p…
Pedals: I’ve not experienced high-performance pedals adding much extra value to my daily riding experience, but these light-up pedals from Redshift are bright, keep me visible at night and grab lots of attention: redshiftsports.com?aff=40
Phone mount: I use Peak Design’s mobile system, including the Universal Bar Mount on my handlebars every day, which I also bring it with me when I travel for bike rentals and bike-share bicycles: peak-design.pxf.io/c/5749368/1…
Buff: Keeps your face, neck and head warm in the winter, and keeps the sun off in the summer: peak-design.pxf.io/c/5749368/1…
Sunglasses: If you’re going to wear sunglasses, why not use a pair that has built-in mirrors so you can see behind you while you ride?: collabs.shop/f9hvof

#RichardStallman coined this term to criticize a practice that restricts user freedom: even with free and opensource software, some devices block the execution of modified versions.
Yes, but why this name?
It simply takes the name of the first product (Tivo) this terrible practice was applied.

Connecticut Towing Companies Use Belongings Left in Cars as Leverage to Collect Fees, Drivers Say

Can be sued; 4th ammt? says everyone is secure in their personal effects.
Towing company doesn't have a one time, legal siezure order for search and seizure of anything other than the vehicle.
Too, because it's the US, ergo reducto absurdums, illegal seizure of private property is same as theft of capital.
Individual in question might have intent to sell or deliver possessions to a buyer, but now the contract is void, to both buyer's and seller's loss.
