On 31 May 2025, the European Space Agency (ESA) made history by transmitting a live performance of The Blue Danube Waltz into space from its Cebreros deep space antenna in Spain. This symbolic gesture elevated Johann Strauss II’s famous waltz, often considered the unofficial ‘anthem of space’, to its rightful place among the stars.

I arrived at Hamburg main station, tracks 13+14 - just where over a week ago, a mentally ill German woman injured 15 in a brutal knife attack, some severely. She was stopped by two men: a young refugee from Syria and a man from Chechnya. The press quickly dropped the case.
That had not at all been the case when a similarly ill man, but a refugee, killed two in Bavaria. For weeks, up to our elections, this tragic event was heavily exploited to push anti-migrant politics.
Honesty, and humanity.

#Palestine / 12 countries condemn forced displacement of Palestinian village in occupied West Bank
Diplomatic missions from #UK, #Germany, #France and 9 other nations issued joint statement expressing solidarity with residents of Mughayir a-Deir who were forced to abandon homes due to settler violence and Israeli authorities' failure to provide protection.
As has been common practice for years, Israeli settlers established an outpost meters from a Palestinian village. The community was forced to flee after escalating violence and threats. Seven neighboring communities have already been displaced following the same pattern. Tens of thousands in Area C face "high or imminent risk" of forcible transfer.
These countries demand Israel dismantle the outpost and allow safe return. They call this a violation of international law and demand Israel respect the prohibition on forcible transfer.

**JOINT PRESS STATEMENT**
**WEST BANK, JUNE 2025**
**DIPLOMATIC STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION IN MUGHAYIR A-DEIR**
The undersigned diplomatic missions express their strong solidarity with the Palestinian community of Mughayir a-Deir. The community's long-standing residents were recently forced to abandon their homes and belongings due to escalating settler violence and a prevailing climate of impunity.
Israeli settlers have established an outpost just metres from the community, which is a clear violation of international law. Mughayir a-Deir was one of the last remaining Palestinian communities in the area. Seven neighbouring communities have already been displaced amid a broader and deeply troubling pattern of violent settler attacks and a lack of protection by the Israeli authorities.
We therefore urge the Israeli authorities to dismantle the outpost immediately and to take urgent and effective measures to enable the safe return of the displaced residents. It is imperative that the community is protected from further violence and intimidation.
Mughayir a-Deir is not an isolated case—it reflects a broader pattern of displacement in Area C of the West Bank, where a coercive environment marked by repeated settler violence, movement restrictions, land confiscation, demolitions and inadequate access to essential services is making life unbearable and pushing communities to leave. Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Area C face a high or imminent risk of forcible transfer. This alarming trend gravely undermines prospects for a just and lasting peace.
We call on Israel to respect its obligations under international law, including the prohibition of forcible transfer. We also reaffirm our clear and consistent opposition to settlements, which are illegal under international law. We emphasise Israel's responsibility to protect all Palestinian communities in Area C.

@HiroProtagonist there's so much corruption and incompetence in government, more government spending = more centralization, corruption, bureaucracy, and regulations- covid clearly demonstrated this inverse relationship between spending and quality of care. look at all the tax money they spent on covid vaccines and murdering people in hospitals. similarly, more military spending doesn't necessarily provide better security. the more money they have the more they feel a need to waste it
i would rather have government spend zero on health care tbh. charity should be voluntary.
Carbon capture won't work. Alberta leaders will still blame Ottawa for everything. Oil companies will still reap huge profits while Albertans get very little. Meanwhile, some provinces are literally on fire.

Some signs of AI model collapse begin to reveal themselves

Opinion: Prediction: General-purpose AI could start getting worseSteven J. Vaughan-Nichols (The Register)
Welcome to a new privacy-first initiative challenging the digital identity status quo, urging a sharp turn away from the surveillance-ready infrastructure embedded in mobile driver’s licenses.
The campaign, called No Phone Home, brings together a broad alliance of civil liberties groups, privacy experts, technologists, lawmakers, and public officials who are resisting the ways digital IDs compromise people’s rights.
What’s fueling the campaign is concern over how mobile driver’s licenses, increasingly adopted in the US and abroad, are built atop a technical framework that allows them to silently transmit data back to issuing authorities. While this function may not be active by default, it exists; and that, privacy advocates argue, is a serious vulnerability.
Even if unused, if the architecture allows for data to be sent back to government servers, it eventually will be the campaign’s statement warns.

@dos Otworzyłem akurat losowo github.com/ProjektyUstaw/Ustaw… i tam jest Markdown.
Oczywiście, że ma się nijak do naszego procesu legislacyjnego, ale w teorii można byłoby na bazie zwykłego repo w git stworzyć taki system. Wtedy marszałek by mówił "głosujemy teraz nad PR #123" - "X głosów za, Y przeciw, PR zmergeowany" 😁

@hlukasz @dwaem No i to jest właśnie chłopskorozumowa droga donikąd, bo teksty prawne funkcjonują na zasadach które nie mapują się zbyt dobrze na gitowy koncept merge'a.
Pewnie jakby się uprzeć to dałoby się zbudować sensowny system z gitem pod spodem, ale raczej wątpię by była to najlepsza opcja. Natomiast GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg etc. i koncepty takie jak PR/MR będą tu kompletnie bezużyteczne.

Kirn kommentiert ironisch: „Wir bringen jemanden dazu, George Orwell wegen Gedankenverbrechen zu verurteilen, und zwar in dem Buch, das er über Gedankenverbrechen geschrieben hat.“ Er schloss seinen Beitrag mit den Worten: „Also, danke für Ihre Warnung vor ‚1984‘. Es ist das verdammt ‚1984‘-mäßigste, was ich je gelesen habe.“
