The image shows a close-up view of a plant in a garden setting. The plant has green leaves with a slightly fuzzy texture, and some leaves have a reddish tint near the base. The central focus is a small flower with a star-shaped arrangement of petals, displaying a gradient from green at the tips to a deep maroon at the center. The flower is surrounded by other green leaves, some of which have serrated edges. The soil is visible, indicating that the plant is growing in a natural environment. The lighting suggests it is a sunny day, casting shadows and highlighting the plant's details.

One strike or two? How data changes undermine what we know about stoppages

Changes over the past decade to the ways in which data on strikes is collected and published risk undermining the value for academics and policy-makers of a series which has been running since the 1890s, according to an analysis by industrial relations specialist Dr Dave Lyddon. In an open access article for the Industrial Relations Journal, Dr Lyddon argues that the most recent change, which…

Das Bild zeigt einen Mann, der in einem dunklen Raum sitzt und seinen Kopf in die Hände gestützt hat. Er trägt ein weißes Hemd und eine dunkle Weste. Der Hintergrund ist dunkel, was den Fokus auf den Mann lenkt. Über dem Mann steht in großen weißen Buchstaben der Text "BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S MESSAGE TO AMERICA". Im oberen rechten Bereich des Bildes ist der Text "THE SENEGA PROJECT" zu sehen, und im linken unteren Bereich steht "[@]Springsteen". Die gesamte Komposition des Bildes vermittelt eine ernste und nachdenkliche Atmosphäre.

Pro-Palestinian protesters rally around the world to mark ‘Nakba Day’
from #AlJazeera [many photos]

aljazeera.com/gallery/2025/5/1…

18 May 2025

"Tens of thousands [actually, hundreds of thousands - PL] of people have rallied across the world in solidarity with #Palestinians amid #Israel’s brutal war on #Gaza and to mark the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Jewish militias, remembered as the #Nakba, or catastrophe.

The Nakba resulted in the permanent mass displacement of Palestinians after the creation of Israel in 1948. Activists say that history is repeating itself today in Gaza and the occupied #WestBank."

The image is a four-panel comic strip with a pink background. In the first panel, a woman with long brown hair and glasses is standing next to a man with a white face and gray shirt. The woman is speaking, asking, "Why do you block people? Why won't you debate? Are you scared??"

In the second panel, the man appears to be shouting, with his mouth open wide and his eyes closed, saying, "I deserve an argument about-"

The third panel shows the man being grabbed by the woman, with the text "GRAB" indicating the action. The man looks surprised and slightly alarmed.

In the final panel, the woman is pulling the man closer to her, and he looks resigned. The woman is speaking, saying, "I don't owe you an audience for your annoying bullshit."

The comic strip is credited to "[@]pizzacakecomic" and "patreon.com/pizzacakecomic" at the bottom.

Arcadia: Progress report


Hi everyone ! Since Arcadia's announcement, things evolved !

Here is a condensed list of the progress:

  • Arcadia now integrates a tracker (its own, not an existing one, still WIP though)
  • Docker support for the frontend, backend/tracker and database
  • Uploading, downloading and seeding a torrent are now working !
  • Visual layout configuration to make the UI information-dense to your liking
  • New pages: torrent search and user profile
  • Sort torrents within a title group, master group support, better display of torrents' features
  • Staff moderation features (WIP)
  • Forums (WIP)
  • Refactor of a big part of the codebase with good practices (mostly thanks to bees and diceypotato) (better typescript support, statically checked sql requests, and more!)
  • Fully typed API swagger
  • Github CI to test multiple aspects of the codebase
  • Detailed contribution guides

Note: Arcadia is not ready for production yet

We also welcomed diceypotato as a new member of the Github organization !

Want to know more ? Chat with the devs and community ? Contribute ? Head over to the discord server !

Yes more devs are still welcome and wanted, the more we are, the funnier it is 😀 So come and let's build this great platform together !

If you like this project, leave a star on the repo !

this is going to be an amazing summer with the official Risc-V support on Debian. I plan on building a machine with Tenstorrent's Ascalon CPUs. With Jim Keller claiming its in the ballpark of Zen 5 performance, it would be a mighty jump for the architecture, heck even if they land around Zen 4 it would be impressive for the Risc-V ecosystem. Thank you debian team for the work you do

Russia’s war against Ukraine

Trump to talk to Putin on May 19 in push to end ‘bloodbath.’ “Hopefully it will be a productive day, a ceasefire will take place, and this very violent war — a war that should have never happened — will end. God bless us all!!!” U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Moscow questions Kyiv’s authority, says Ukraine’s choice of signatory key to any peace deal. “For Russia, the most important and principal matter when signing documents between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations is the identity of the person authorized to sign on behalf of Ukraine,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Ukraine’s Security Service begins preparations for 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap with Russia. The planned exchange follows an agreement reached between Ukrainian and Russian delegations during talks in Istanbul on May 16, 2025.

A major prisoner swap between Ukraine and Russia involving around 1,000 POWs from each side is expected to take place next week, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief said on air on May 17, following an agreement reached in Istanbul.

Russia sentences Australian fighting for Ukraine to 13 years in prison in sham trial. The so-called Supreme Court of the Russian-controlled Luhansk Oblast found Jenkins guilty under Russian criminal law for participating in armed conflict as a mercenary.

Ukrainian drones strike Russian ammunition depot in occupied Crimea, source says. The depot, located near a key highway between Simferopol and Alushta, reportedly housed military equipment, ammunition, and fuel storage facilities.

Three years into full-scale war, Eurovision still hasn’t solved its Russia problem

This year’s Eurovision Song Contest is taking place in neutral Switzerland, but politics are center stage. While debate continues over Israel’s participation amid the war in Gaza, Russia — banned from the contest since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine — continues to cast a shadow over the event.

How Russia’s Shaheds are getting more dangerous — and what Ukraine is doing about it

Russia’s air strikes on Ukraine have become far more deadly in recent months. Part of the uptick is due to limited air defense to bring down ballistic missiles. But Russia’s preferred deep-strike weapon — the Shahed drone — has gotten some major upgrades since the start of the year.

Lavrov, Rubio discuss results of Istanbul peace talks, Russian media reports. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reportedly welcomed what he described as a “constructive” role by Washington in encouraging Kyiv to accept President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to resume peace talks in Istanbul.
