#Macron replica a #Meloni: "Inviare truppe? Guardiamoci dalle false informazioni"
“C'è un errore di interpretazione, non abbiamo parlato di inviare truppe, la discussione era per un cessate il fuoco in #Ucraina, domenica e oggi. Guardiamoci dal divulgare false informazioni, ce ne sono a sufficienza di quelle russe” ha detto il presidente francese Macron in conferenza stampa a Tirana rispondendo ad una domanda sulle parole di Giorgia Meloni sul vertice dei Volenterosi in Albania.

Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige Landschaft am Abend. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein großer, grüner Baum mit dichtem Laub, dessen Schatten auf das grüne Gras fällt. Der Baum steht am Rande eines ruhigen Gewässers, das wahrscheinlich ein See oder ein Fluss ist. Die Sonne steht tief am Horizont und taucht den Himmel in warmes Licht, während sie durch die Blätter des Baumes scheint. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Bäume und ein paar Häuser zu sehen, die am Ufer des Gewässers liegen. Der Himmel ist klar mit ein paar wenigen Wolken, die von der Sonne beleuchtet werden. Die Szene wirkt friedlich und idyllisch, mit einer harmonischen Mischung aus Natur und menschlicher Anwesenheit.

I got my new Struthless book today, and I’m really looking forward to diving into it.
I deeply connected to his previous book, and his video series on YouTube always feeds my soul and heart even if they’re kinda depressing. His tools for coping are spot on for me.
So I may take some personal time today. And make several pots of my favorite tea. And try to put some balm on my bruises because these last couple weeks have been vicious on my art ego. My ups-and-downs cycle has been brutal lately, and I need some good news.
I’m hoping this will help.

Brief aus Jerusalem: Von Nakba zu Völkermord
Gedenken an die Vertreibung der Palästinenser vor 77 Jahren – für den israelischen Staat und seine Gesellschaft waren und sind sie immer nur ein Störfaktor.Helga Baumgarten (junge Welt)
Das Bild zeigt eine Szene auf einer Straße, bei der ein Mann in einem blauen Shirt eine alte, rostige Schlüsselkette hochhält. Der Hintergrund ist unscharf, aber man kann erkennen, dass es sich um eine Straßenszene handelt, mit Gebäuden und Menschen im Hintergrund. Ein Schild mit arabischer Schrift ist sichtbar, was auf eine protestierende oder demonstrative Atmosphäre hinweist. Der Mann im Vordergrund hält den Schlüssel direkt vor die Kamera, was auf eine symbolische Bedeutung hinweisen könnte. Die Gesichter der Menschen im Hintergrund sind nicht deutlich zu erkennen, aber sie scheinen Teil einer Gruppe zu sein, die möglicherweise an einer Demonstration teilnimmt.

(...) Because KiKA is a children’s channel, there was typically dead air from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. On Jan. 1, 2003, the network put Bernd’s short episodes into the night loop for the first time. The move brought an adult audience into Bernd’s world, often those sitting at home and smoking pot, or returning after a long night of partying. The night loop cemented his popularity as a German cult classic.

Angriff auf Nakba-Gedenken: Die Bühne ist bereitet
Berlin: Die gewaltsame Unterdrückung einer Demonstration zum Gedenken an die Nakba wird für die Androhung weiterer Repression ausgenutzt.Max Grigutsch (junge Welt)
Das Bild zeigt eine Szene einer Demonstration, bei der eine Gruppe von Polizisten in Schutzkleidung und Helmen vor einer Menge von Demonstranten steht. Die Polizisten tragen schwarze Uniformen mit der Aufschrift "POLIZEI" auf dem Rücken und sind mit Schutzschildern und Schutzhelmen ausgestattet. Viele Demonstranten halten Palästinenserviere und andere Fahnen hoch, und einige halten Schilder mit politischen Botschaften. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume und Gebäude zu sehen, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Demonstration in einer städtischen Umgebung stattfindet. Die Atmosphäre wirkt angespannt, was durch die Anwesenheit der Polizei und die Demonstrationen deutlich wird.

Frankfurt am Main: Das Bündnis »Es ist zu laut« mobilisiert zum Protest gegen den Ausbau der Autobahn A 5. Ein Gespräch mit Hans Christoph Stoodt, aktiv in der Bürgerinitiative.Gitta Düperthal (junge Welt)
Das Bild zeigt eine belebte Autobahn bei Dämmerung. Auf der Fahrbahn sind mehrere Fahrzeuge zu sehen, darunter Autos und Lastwagen. Ein Lastwagen transportiert mehrere Autos auf seinem Anhänger. Über der Fahrbahn sind große blaue Schilder angebracht, die die Richtungen zu verschiedenen Städten anzeigen. Links zeigt ein Schild die Richtungen nach Hannover, Kassel, Dortmund und Westkreuz Frankfurt mit der Nummer 5. Rechts zeigt ein Schild die Richtungen nach Köln, Wiesbaden, Kelsterbach und Frankfurt mit der Nummer 43, sowie nach München, Würzburg, Offenbach und F-Süd mit der Nummer 3. Die Schilder sind gut sichtbar und haben weiße Schrift auf blauem Hintergrund. Die Fahrbahn ist nass, was auf Regen hindeutet. Die Lichter der Fahrzeuge und der Straßenlaternen erzeugen ein diffuses Licht, das die Szene in ein sanftes Licht taucht.

OpenAI has launched Codex, a software engineering agent that can handle multiple tasks in parallel within isolated sandbox environments. These tasks include writing code, fixing bugs, answering codebase questions, and making pull requests. Codex runs on the cloud and is powered by the optimized o3 model, known as codex-1. It has shown strong performance in SWE-Bench and OpenAI’s internal benchmark tests, generating code in a style similar to humans.🧵1/4
