It's so funny seeing people from the global north losing their shit over the MINOR inconvenience of EES when traveling to Europe. The rest of us have to pay extra, make a blood sacrifice and fill out 1000 forms before we can even think of traveling here

I've been paying €12 a month for a @theguardian.com (digital/Apple) subscription for years, and now I can't read anything on their website without either accepting a bunch of ad cookie nonsense or paying another €5 a month?! Guess I'll be saving €17 a month from the end of October. The nerve.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

It is a deliberate policy: for two years now, Berlin’s mayor has chosen not de-escalation units but riot police – officers known for routinely unleashing extreme levels of violence against anti-genocide protesters; week after week, day after day.

One of my favourite German words to say aloud is Flurfunk. It describes gossip or rumours that spread through the workplace and means, literally, "hallway radio."

On a related note, a Finnish word for gossipers is kahvipöytäparlamentti. It means "coffee break parliament."

Netanyahu should be arrested and sent to the Hague, not allowed to speak before the UN. He's a mass murderer guilty of genocide.

Dozens of delegates left the United Nations hall as Israel’s Prime Minister prepared to speak.

I just got off a work call and fully had a stress cry for the first time in years.

From the New York Times: On Monday, a number of countries, including France, announced they would recognize Palestinian statehood at a summit in New York ahead of the U. N. General Assembly. About 10 countries either have recognized a Palestinian state over the past week or are expected to do so soon. Britain and Canada have already done so, putting diplomatic pressure on Israel amid widespread international condemnation of its conduct of the war in Gaza, which has created a humanitarian catastrophe. Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s far-right national security minister, said on Monday night that those moves demanded “immediate countermeasures,” including annexation of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. He said he would soon propose the application of “sovereignty” in the West Bank to the cabinet, where the idea has broad support.

honestly such a stroke of good luck for Gvir that the countermeasures Israel are now forced into are also the thing he's wanted to do for his entire political career. could have easily been a really bad day for him

My mother is an organist (she plays in church every Sunday) and she was talking about doing more fun music because she's bored with hymns/psalms, so I bought her the sheet music for Cornfield Chase so I can have my own personal Anna Lapwood.

So good of the EU to finally wake up and do something about Israel's genocide when it's already much too late. And I'm SURE Germany and Hungary are not going to be a problem.

All of this is correct, though? Kirk was a bigot. He hated the marginalized. If it was you instead of him he would laugh. He was a terrible man.
