Russia’s growing ability to sustain weapons production despite Western sanctions is being driven by a flow of Chinese components and materials, Vladyslav Vlasiuk, the Ukrainian president’s commissioner for sanctions, told journalists on July 7.

Het stroomnet piept en kraakt: stroomonderbreking in winter niet uitgesloten
Netbeheerders hebben in de zomer veel moeite om het grote aanbod van zonnestroom te verwerken. In de winter is de vraag naar elektriciteit juist erg hoog. Dat zorgt op steeds meer plekken voor problemen. Daardoor liggen stroomonderbrekingen op de loer.

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Trump will doch weiter Waffen an Ukraine liefern ++
Nach einem zwischenzeitlichen Stopp hat US-Präsident Trump angekündigt, die USA werde weiterhin Waffen an die Ukraine zu liefern. Der ukrainische Präsident Selenskyj will die Drohnenproduktion ausweiten.
Das steht zwar nicht ausdrücklich so da, aber ich wette, genau das war der wahre Grund für den Stopp der Waffenlieferungen:
Trump fühlte sich offenbar von einer Frau (Markarowa, der ukrainischen Botschafterin in Washington seit 2021), persönlich angegriffen oder bloßgestellt. Vermutlich, weil sie ein zu gutes Verhältnis zu den Demokraten hatte? 🙄
Was für ein unsicheres, kleines Männchen. 🤦🏻

It started off “we’re going to arrest them and make them face justice”, then became “we’re going to expooooose!”, and now it’s “nothing to see here”.
It’s all so tiresome.
I’ll give Adam credit for accurately labeling (most) people on NAS as “not really political”; politics, the game of pretending that you have any say and that the demons may one day be exorcised from the country by voting, is retarded.
The real problem, obviously, is the gun manufacturers.
wait, wait.. You're actually implying that Bernie is *not* divisive? HOLY FUCK, that's classic.
Don't make me go get the 25-year "oligarchs" supercut. "Oligarchs", in Bernie's vernacular, means anyone with slightly more money than him. His three houses = just fine. Four houses? Sic 'em, Bolsheviks!
that's why him and Rogan get along so well.
an oligarch isn't just rich. it implies that their wealth gives them much more influence over society than the rest of us. I will never understand how libertarian-minded folks focus almost exclusively on government control of their lives, but rarely on the influence that the very wealthy can have (or if they do, it's only certain rich people doing things they don't like).

Missbrauch in der Psychotherapie - Wenn der Schutzraum zum Tatort wird
In Deutschland erkrankt fast jeder Zweite im Laufe seines Lebens an einer psychischen Störung. Therapieplätze sind rar. Vollbild-Recherchen zeigen, wie manche Therapeuten ihre Machtposition ausnutzen.
Außerdem, die Leute, die da in die geschlossene kommen sind oft untervögelt und die mit Depressionen in offenen Stationen auch.
Ich kenne so viele Fälle, bei denen sich 2 auf Therapie kennengelernt und ihren vögelbedarf nachgeholt haben.
Wenn dann Frau oder Mann Geilheit signalisiert, Menschen sind auch nur Tiere, kann ich mir vorstellen, daß Pfleger oder auch Ärzte diese Signale empfangen und es dann und wann zu Taten kommt.

Tech Companies Have Created a Loneliness Doom Loop
Tech companies have found a way to market digital goods to lonely people, promising relief through connection, but this kind of connection isn’t the solution; it’s the problem. Calling loneliness an epidemic transforms a feeling into a pathology to be cured, creating a loneliness economy. Reframing a universal human experience like loneliness as a medical diagnosis creates a market opportunity to manufacture, sell and buy treatment. The prescription given for loneliness is connection, and Big Tech has found a way to seize the vulnerability of lonely people eager to escape their predicament.Meta’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, argues that A.I. companions can help fill what he sees as a friendship gap. Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, is developing an A.I. “companion” that will live with users and, the company claims, be capable of sensing their surroundings. Replika, a generative A.I. chatbot, touts customer claims like “I love my human-like A.I. companion” and “Replika understands me better than any real guy ever did.” “Friends come and go, but GalaxyAI has your back,” another ad reads. Social media, dating apps and A.I. companions won’t alleviate loneliness; they will make it worse by giving people a way to avoid their aloneness.
