If you’re not part of a targeted class, it’s privilege to be able to choose not to put yourself out there, saving yourself the worry of individual visibility while also feeling no risk of ongoing class/race based oppression.
Unless your country is devolving into a fascist dictatorship and everyone will be carted off to concentration camps sooner or later for political expression.
Wait what? Rapid policy change in response to gun violence?
Good job Australia Austria!
The Louvre’s spontaneous strike erupted during a routine internal meeting, as gallery attendants, ticket agents and security personnel refused to take up their posts in protest over unmanageable crowds, chronic understaffing and what one union called “untenable” working conditions.
It’s rare for the Louvre to close its doors. It has happened during war, during the pandemic, and in a handful of strikes — including spontaneous walkouts over overcrowding in 2019 and safety fears in 2013. But seldom has it happened so suddenly, without warning, and in full view of the crowds.
Depraved. Not one mention of de-escalation, nothing but celebration for the bad people killed. Not that I expected to find it.
Anecdotally I see a lot of Kia and Hyundai EVs around (US NE), and CleanTechnica’s sales numbers seem to back up them being near the top.
“As Trump moves to expand military deployments, possibly using protests in L.A. as a pretext for more broadly silencing free speech or even imposing martial law, I’ll be reintroducing reforms to the Insurrection Act that check potential abuse or overreach,” Blumenthal posted to X, formerly Twitter, late Monday.
TIL. Seems to be a rigid scope, so:
Rigid cystoscope: These cystoscopes don’t bend. Your provider may pass instruments through the tube to perform biopsies or remove tumors. This cystoscope is usually only used with sedation or general anesthesia.
Doesn’t explain the other hand though.

I’m sure money is only one small piece, but there’s u24.gov.ua if you want to help with the 2x-10x (I do!).
Like, wherever the latch(es) is/are?
They cut through a wall to reach the safe, sounds like some inside knowledge anyway.
TIL.
[T]he fungi can mate with nearly every individual of their species they meet. […] 23,000 different sexual identities, a result of widespread differentiation in the genetic locations that govern its sexual behavior.
Why is it useful to call them sexual identities then? Are exact matches not able to mate?
— European countries: 54% — Asia-Pacific: 23% — Arab countries that have normalized ties with Israel under the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords: 12% — North America: 9% — Latin America: 1% — Africa: 1%
Nearly half the deals were for missiles, rockets and air defense systems, Israel’s defense ministry said.
Kinda shocked not to see the US higher up. Still, 9% should be 0% and sanctions / human rights abuse trials.
It was like overcrowded, literally maybe a dozen plus, 14, 15 people were lying on the floor and there was no space for me. That’s why they put me in a TV room. The TV would be on for 21 hours in a day. It will turn off between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.”
The cruelty is the point.
Also, we hear and Badar Khan Suri, about Rümeysa Öztürk, but there are dozens of people in these gulags who we’re not hearing about. They need (obviously) to be shut down entirely.
Sounds pretty in line with “Controversies” on Wikipedia.
We need laws to pay reparations for wrongful conviction/imprisonment. Probably after we start dealing with wrongful murder by paid gangs.
The lawsuit was filed after 15-year-old high school sophomore (second year student) Blake Robbins was disciplined at school for his behavior in his bedroom.[6][14] The school based its decision to discipline Robbins on a photograph that had been secretly taken of him in his bedroom, via the webcam in his school-issued laptop. Without telling its students, the schools remotely accessed their school-issued laptops to secretly take pictures of students in their own homes, their chat logs, and records of the websites they visited.
Incredibly gross.
I didn’t have a printer but do know someone with one, I bet I could ask for a little filament. Sounds fun to try.
Haven’t purchased AppleTV yet but heard great things so far.
