Pietro Santini vince a Tirrenia e prepara il tricolore Triathlon
Si è svolta la prima edizione del triathlon medio di Tirrenia sulla distanza di 1.9km a nuoto, 90km in bici e 21.1km. Vittoria assoluta del garfagnino Pietro Santini (nella foto) portacolori del Firenze Triathlon.
The image displays a vertical arrangement of five informational panels, each with a black background and white text and graphics. The panels are organized from top to bottom, each featuring a white silhouette of a plastic item and a description in German.
- The top panel shows a plastic bag with the title "Plastiktüte" (Plastic Bag). The text explains that plastic bags often have a translucent body and are frequently found in the Indo-Pacific-Asian distribution area.
- The second panel features a yogurt cup labeled "Joghurthecher" (Yogurt Cup). The text describes yogurt cups as often being made of polystyrene, a durable plastic that breaks down slowly in the ocean.
- The third panel depicts a plastic bottle with the title "Plastikflasche" (Plastic Bottle). The text explains that plastic bottles, also known as PET bottles, are widely distributed and can be reused up to 25 times.
- The fourth panel shows a plastic food container labeled "Plastikverpackung" (Plastic Packaging). The text describes plastic packaging as single-use items, often made from a single material, and highlights their widespread use and threat to marine life.
- The bottom panel features a yellow rubber duck with the title "Gelbe Gummiente" (Yellow Rubber Duck). The text explains that yellow rubber ducks are popular toys, often found in large groups in the North Pacific, and are closely related to the Anas platyrhynchos species.
Each panel provides detailed information about the item's composition, distribution, and environmental impact, emphasizing the importance of reducing plastic waste.

RUNNING FROM DEATH
The population of northern Gaza Strip is fleeing to the south.
Israel's Gideon’s chariots operation hasn’t moved to the ground maneuver phase of their cleansing of Gaza.
Air raids and artillery are used first to get the population out.
Meanwhile, 500,000 Gazans are in danger of starving to death. No food or water is being let into the area by Israel.
Trump and Netanyahu's plan to remove the residents of Gaza!

On this day 35 years ago, TGV unit 325 set the land speed record at 515.3 km/h on the LGV Atlantique.
This beat the previous record set by the same train on the 5th December 1989 of 482 km/h
Both these records managed to surpass the record set by an experimental ICE prototype in West Germany in 1988, which was 406.9 km/h on the Hannover-Würzburg line, thus establishing French engineering as superior to the German, at least on speed.
This record stayed current until 2007, when SNCF topped this with a TGV POS setting the new record at 568 and then 574,8 km/h.
TGV 325 is now decommissioned, and is kept at the Cité du Train in Mulhouse.

Portugal: Young men five times more likely to vote for the far-right than women
The author of the report, who is an analyst at the European Policy Centre, explains that far-right movements have been able to take advantage of the frustration of young men under 25 over the 'loss of a stable job and financial independence', which are 'traditional markers of masculinity'.

Friendica.world maintenance
Today starting 19:30 CET / 17:30 UTC we will be doing maintenance on friendica.world. Some downtime may occur, this time planned...
We'll be taking a next step in trying to fix the performance of this instance, we'll move the frontend processes to separate VMs, so the physical box will only have the database to worry about.
With this we can better scale the frontend, and after that we can focus on getting the database performance improved.

Man muss sich schon mittenrein in den Gedankengut-Misthaufen der AfD gesetzt und sehr tief inhaliert haben,
um zu glauben, Grüne seien der "Hauptgegner",
aber ein Verbot der demokratie- und menschenverachtenden Rechtsextremisten der AfD rieche nach "Beseitigung" legitimer "Konkurrenz".
