Daphna Kuhr wrote that she was back after a suspension of a week. She referred to a phone call between a young Gazan citizen, whom she described as colonized, and their parents. According to Kuhr, the conversation would be exactly three years old in a few hours. She lamented that the film NAZAAT could not include the conversation in the editing and suggested that it might have been too real. #Gaza #Film #Gesprekken (translated)

The Act on Affordable Housing should have responded more strongly to the main problem - the lack of apartments. Instead of binding solutions for faster issuance of permits, more construction, renovation, and mobilizing investments, we unfortunately received a Regulation that introduces the possibility of restricting the purchase or use of another property. It is unacceptable to penalize citizens who have invested their savings in the purchase of another property. The European Charter of Fundamental Rights guarantees all our citizens the right to ownership of lawfully acquired property. Unfortunately, the Act on Affordable Housing calls this fundamental right into question. If we want to resolve the housing crisis, we must enable more construction to happen, faster and easier. Croatian MEP Nikolina Brnjac (EPP/HDZ) pointed out as the most problematic part of the Commission's proposal the possibility of introducing restrictions related to the purchase or use of another property, emphasizing that such a measure "has not been requested, has not been announced, and is not acceptable." #priuštivoStanovanje #stambenaKrizа #kratkoročniNajam (translated)

Igor Muzevic noted that he felt awkward when the non-governmental organization quoted Nicholas Taleb, as Muki was supposedly doing in the recording. He mentioned that Taleb introduced the term "Intellectual Yet Idiot" or IYI for well-educated members of the higher middle class, which includes bureaucrats, officials of non-governmental organizations, and various experts. According to Muzevic's description, IYIs shape rules and policies, lead organizations, and manage institutions, but they are generally not the ones to bear the consequences of unsuccessful ideas. Their authority is said to be based on diplomas, titles, and positions, rather than on practical experience or proven results. He added that they often act condescendingly and interpret disagreement as ignorance, labeling skeptics as uneducated, reactionary, or populist. #IntellectualYetIdiot #NicholasTaleb #NVO (translated)

The author of the post on Huda jama 1945 has revived the memory of their former dispute in connection with the affair involving Rosvita Pesek. She noted that she had written about caves and violence, to which Pesek allegedly responded that she was wrong and lying. Although this angered her, she did not argue with her because, as she stated, she highly values her husband. According to her, Roman Leljak became involved in the dispute, presented her with evidence, and defended her. She wrote that she was pleased about this, but then Pesek allegedly left and never wrote to her again. In this context, she wondered why Pesek and her husband are married or who among them is bluffing. The author wished Pesek and her husband good health and added that her husband will likely be more active during the government of Janez Janša, as she believes that nothing happened during the government of Robert Golob. #RosvitoPesek #RomanLeljak #nasilje (translated)

The Pastoral Brothers styled themselves in a post as Pontius Pilate and, in his name, apologized to the Holy Church for the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. According to their account, Pilate's responsibility was accompanied by the claim that Jesus was partly to blame for his fate because he provoked the Jewish priests and Sadducees and did not defend himself. The authors also stated that Pilate did not concern himself much with the execution, as there were many condemned at that time, and that the evangelists took his words out of context. They downplayed the consequences by saying that Jesus rose from the dead after three days. They concluded the post with Pilate's greeting with the Roman Empire in their hearts. #historie #náboženství #Církev (translated)

Luigi Marattin argued that, in the last three years, Western societies had been exposed to a vast campaign of disinformation and psychological conditioning regarding the conflict in Gaza. In his view, this had overshadowed the massacre of October 7, presented by some as an episode of resistance, and spread false claims about genocide, civilian casualties, and attacks on Palestinians seeking food. Marattin said that the reasons for what he termed a campaign of lies would be clarified by historians and hypothesized that factors such as identification with the weaker side, funding of Islamic extremism, and anti-Jewish prejudice had contributed to it. He stated that in the "information war," responses were beginning to appear in the form of documentaries: he mentioned *Naza: the Real Story*, which, according to him, offered more evidence and did not rely on anonymous testimonies, and *We will dance again*, shown the previous night by Nicola Porro and containing images from October 7. Marattin wrote that those images had marked those who had seen them and urged for countering falsehoods without fear of going against dominant thinking. He also accused some protesters with Hamas flags and others of having embraced propaganda and ideology. Finally, he said he would be in Milan the following day to commemorate October 7, which he defined as a dark day for Western civilization, and thanked the Milanese Jewish community for the invitation. #Disinformazione #Guerra #Milano (translated)

"A horrific attack by two Russian drones on a civilian ship in neutral waters that was carrying corn and is owned by Turkey. There were citizens of Azerbaijan and India on the ship. For now, unfortunately, we know that the captain of the ship has died. I express my condolences. The fate of another person is still being determined. Eleven crew members were rescued, one of whom is injured. Ukraine has repeatedly proposed concrete steps to de-escalate the situation and ensure safety in the Black Sea. There have also been appropriate proposals from third countries. But Russia persistently chooses terror and the sinking of civilian ships instead of normal navigation. Pressure is needed to restore global food supply security. And everyone who is truly interested in this must help." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims that the attack was carried out by Russian drones, and there were citizens of Azerbaijan and India on the ship." #CrnoMore #napaddronovima #globalnaopskrbahranom (translated)

Igor Derenda recorded that director Tomi Cegnar pointed out that his banking activities had been reviewed three times. According to Derenda, Cegnar was the recipient of a fee for a documentary based on Rado Pezdir's bestseller about the post-war secret economic system of the UDBA and money laundering, which is why he came under the scrutiny of Vonta's investigative commission, although according to the author's words, he was not a direct target. Derenda stated that the commission, with more than 20 resolutions and the expansion of the investigation beyond the judiciary, examined more than 170 bank accounts and around 80 companies and sole proprietors. https://t.co/olTUw5SxhA #dokumentarec #pranjeDenarja #preiskava (translated)
