The post reported that police in Paris said they had first faced violent groups of 500 to 1,000 people, followed in the late afternoon by a large arrival of people whose aim, police said, was to steal and loot amid the disorder. https://t.co/PNOJ8zFvlS #Paris #violence #looting #FR
Zelensky's answer to Pedolf's Russian occupied Whore House - an overnight onslaught on St. Petersburg - home to the VK data center facility which contains over 20,000 servers & was under construction for 3 years. More missing bots & MAGA girlfriends then.
The writer argued that statism and an oversized welfare state were part of an underlying problem now showing itself in France’s streets, while noting that they were not the whole story but remained an important part of it. #Statism #WelfareState #France #FR
The problem is always that on Congressional and Senate maps that are tilted so badly towards Republicans, the optimal strategy *in all of the individual competitive elections* is usually to run as a bipartisan problem solver even while the optimal strategy for the party as a whole is to trash Trump
The post said a cross-border trade in Sally Rooney’s books had emerged after they were removed from UK distribution over her support for Palestine Action. It said bookshops in Northern Ireland were buying copies from Dublin wholesalers, where they quickly sold out, and receiving many online orders from Britain. https://t.co/zyp8EBDndu #SallyRooney #BookTrade #PalestineAction #GB #IE #NI
Barbaric Putin hasn't been able to capture Kyiv in 4 1/2 years, but he took The Whore House for a few gallons of diesel.
It’s just a display of force. Fuck you: we are in charge and we decide. Don’t like it? Fuck you again. And there’s no major dissent about it because the whole project sprang from the press themselves. This is their riot, so of course they approve and want more. Much more, in fact.
The author wrote that the climate crisis threatened almost all of the world’s roughly 11,000 bird species, with particularly severe implications for seabirds because their life cycles were closely tied to the timing and abundance of food supplies.
Well said by @lordrickettsp.bsky.social There should have been an extremely serious debate about this even earlier, from the moment the National Security Report came out in 2025 that called for a "whole-of-society“-approach to defense. But no national conversation followed.
Again, a constitutional order that cannot immediately & decisively respond to lying like this about elections really isn't worth saving. We need massive, wholesale, fundamental institutional reform to become an actual functioning democracy: bsky.app/profile/mcop...
The back story on who got Fox to take Zacharia out will be interesting. First they got her placed, then they made sure Hannity and F&F -- Trump's two main shows -- ripped her to shreds. Impressive work, whoever did it.
The whole Arday scandal and the reaction to it makes perfect sense when you assume that, for those responsible, the death of a young black person of some modest prominence and influence was a good outcome, they're glad it happened, and would like to do it again.
The whole process of the privatisation of water should be a cautionary tale.
A football coach, whose life was saved by a first responder and his gym friends, is encouraging the public to learn CPR to be prepared for emergencies. #Cookies #Security #OnlinePrivacy
Russian-Iranian cooperation extends far beyond their confrontation with the United States. The two countries have long coordinated closely in waging hybrid warfare against the West as a whole. Russia and Iran share intelligence.⤵️
Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax, which is a Green Party Policy, with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.
SIPONTUM (MANFREDONIA), PUBLISHED IN POPULAR ARCHAEOLOGY USA by LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA "SIPONTUM, THE ARCHAELOGICAL SITE AND INVISIBLE PORT CITY OF ANCIENT DAUNIA" SOURCE: https://popular-archaeology.com/author/sardella/ At last, Siponto speaks to the world. The first major popular account in English devoted to Sipontum, the invisible port city of Daunia, has been published in Popular Archaeology USA. For those who work on the archaeological heritage of Foggia and its province, it has long been a paradox: the Encyclopaedia Britannica dismissed Siponto in two lines as a “city abandoned owing to the encroachment of lagoons”, yet no comprehensive synthesis of its history in English existed for an international readership. This article at last fills that lacuna. It narrates a longue durée history spanning 7,000 years: from the Bronze Age lagoon to the Roman maritime colony of 194 BC, whose decumanus maximus survives today as the SS89 Garganica; from the grain port cited by Cassiodorus to the basilica rendered visible by Edoardo Tresoldi; through to abandonment through malaria and the transfer ordained by Manfred of Swabia, who founded Manfredonia in 1256–1263. And, above all, it recounts the present: the 2021–2025 campaigns of Global Archaeology by the Universities of Bari and Foggia, led by Roberto Goffredo, Maria Turchiano, and Giuliano Volpe, and the new Archaeological Park of the Gargano. A fundamental step towards affording one of Italy’s most underrated sites the international visibility it deserves.
The author questioned whether Europe had become a “weak spot” and said this contradicted the EU’s talk of European sovereignty. #Europe #EUSovereignty #PoliticalDebate #EU #Europe
The author claimed that Hungary’s new government had moved to shut down MCC Brussels because its views had become uncomfortable for the Brussels establishment, portraying the organization as being targeted for its opinions rather than for criminal activity. https://t.co/5WDkLgYhjD #Brussels #MCC #FreedomOfSpeech #BE #HU
