TEHRAN, Jul. 20 (MNA) – Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran is fully vigilant and prepared to defend itself should the Israeli regime break a “fragile” ceasefire that ended 12 days of aggression against the country last month.
A little-known cattle disease has triggered a ban on the import of raw-milk cheeses from France and Italy, and the fallout is already hitting cheesemongers, restaurants and delis across the UK. Hannah Twiggs investigates

“Karst landscapes are characteristic of sinkholes, caves, enclosed depressions, disappearing streams, springs and sinkholes. Rain passing through the soil forms a weak solution of carbonic acid. This acid trickles down through the landscape and dissolves the rock. Over time it progressively enlarges the cracks and an underground drainage system starts to develop. 25% of the world's population live in these regions and depend on karst aquifers for its water supply.
Karst landscapes in the United States: Southern Indiana, Cincinnati Achc, Central Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and northern Arkansas, Appalachia, Florida, Bermuda and the Bahama Islands, West Texas, south central Texas, western Oklahoma, and eastern New Mexico, southeastern New Mexico, The Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana.” - britannica.com/science/cave/Ge…

όχι δεν είναι, το θέατρο των Άβδηρων πιθανολογείται ότι είναι το αρχαιότερο του 5ου αιώνα π.χ., της Δωδώνης είναι του 3ου π.χ. επί Πύρρου. Αν και τα δύο πρώτα στην κατάταξη έχουν καταστραφεί, της Αίγινας σώζεται και είναι αρχαιότερο επίσης. Τέλος της Δωδώνης είχε καταστραφεί και αναστηλώθηκε. @mrsimoto
@mrsimoto Γενικά υπάρχουν πολλά αρχαιότερα σωζόμενα από της Δωδώνης που λειτουργούν. Δεν λέει κάτι φοβερό αυτό, απλά συνηθίζεται σε τοπικό επίπεδο να διαδίδονται διάφορα. Για παράδειγμα, ο δήμος "Ηρωικής πόλης Νάουσας", μιας και έχω σχέση με εκεί βασίζεται σε κάτι που δεν έγινε ποτέ, την θυσία των γυναικών της Νάουσας που έπεσαν στο ποτάμι για να μην τις πιάσουν οι Τούρκοι. @foufoutos
@baskin @mrsimoto δεν ειναι το αρχαιότερο κατασκευαστικά (3ος π.χ αιώνας), αλλά απ τα πιο λειτουργικά των αρχαίων θεάτρων και δεν διαδίδονται διάφορα. π.χ το θέατρο του Θορικού, το αρχαιότερο όλων πόσο λειτουργικό είναι; mixanitouxronou.gr/dodoni-to-m…
Το Αρχαίο Θέατρο Δωδώνης βρίσκεται σε απόσταση 22 χιλιομέτρων από την πόλη των Ιωαννίνων. Η οικοδόμησή του συνδέθηκε με την τέλεση των Ναΐων, οι οποίοι ήταν αγώνες προς τιμήν του Δία.
@mrsimoto βέβαια κανείς ντόπιος (εκτός εξαιρέσεων μετρημένων στα δάκτυλα του ενός χεριού), δεν γνωρίζει ότι από τις 5 προτομές Μακεδονομάχων, οι 4 ήταν εθνικιστές φασίστες που κατέσφαζαν σλάβικους και μουσουλμανικούς πληθυσμούς κατά τον Μακεδονικό Αγώνα. Παρόμοια είναι η ποσόστωση και σε άλλες Μακεδονικές πόλεις. @foufoutos

Sie haben zwar angefangen mit "der Genozidvorwurf ist absurd und niemand Ernstzunehmendes kann sowas behaupten", aber wenn am Ende auch nur noch “es gibt auch Völkerrechtler, die einen Genozid nicht für bewiesen halten" übrig bleibt, es wird ihnen trotzdem als Vorwand für ihre menschenverachtende Haltung genügen.
Israelunterstützung ist kognitiv 1-zu-1 der gleiche Vorgang wie Klimawandelleugnung. Da reicht auch die bloße Existenz einer wissenschaftlicher Minderheitsmeinung, völlig egal wie marginal. bird.makeup/users/dhbln/status…
Es soll nicht im Einklang mit dem Medienstaatsvertrag stehen, wenn eine Journalistin auf ihrem privaten Account einen @nytimes-Gastbeitrag eines renommierten Genozidforschers teilt.
Man kann auch in weniger Worten zum Ausdruck bringen, dass man ein Freiheitsfeind ist.
Wer erklärt Ihnen die Rechtslage bei der Ausübung Ihres Jobs, @georgrestle? Bei der Fortbildung haben Sie wohl gefehlt. Und dann blamieren Sie sich noch öffentlich. Ich erkläre es Ihnen gerne, vor allem, weil Sie auf @ron_prosor losgehen, obwohl er es Ihnen bereits freundlich erklärt hat und auf @isefati, obwohl der im Recht ist. 1. Der Ausschnitt unten ist aus dem Medienstaatsvertrag, den der Botschafter erwähnt hat. 2. Dass Sie ihn offenbar nicht kennen, passt zwar zur Qualität Ihrer ähnlich uninformierten Äußerungen zum mittleren Osten im Allgemeinen und zu 🇮🇱 im besonderen. Es geht aber einen Schritt weiter in seiner Ignoranz: Sie kennen Ihren eigenen Arbeitsvertrag nicht. Das ist er nämlich. 3. Sie und von der Tann arbeiten für den ÖRR, den die Bundesländer tragen. Diese haben sich Regeln im Staatsvertrag gegeben. Die Sie Kraft Ihres Arbeitsvertrags wie auch Frau Tann beachten müssen. Das unterscheidet Sie von Herrn Sefati. Der muss andere Sachen beachten, denn die Regeln des Hauses Springer erlegen ihm unter anderem auf, das Existenzrecht des Staates Israel anzuerkennen. Beides nennt man in Deutschland „Tendenzschutz“. Das hat mit Pressefreiheit viel zu tun, nur anders als Sie meinen. 4. Art. 5 GG schützt nämlich auch, und darum geht es hier, das Publikationsorgan. In Ihrem Fall also den ÖRR. Bei Herrn Sefati den Springer-Verlag. Und zwar davor, dass er seine inneren Regeln nicht gegen seine eigenen Mitarbeiter durchsetzen kann. Deshalb könnte der Springer Verlag Herrn Sefati - abweichend vom sonstigen deutschen Arbeitsrecht - eine Kündigung aussprechen, wenn er Israels Existenzrecht leugnet, und Ihnen und von der Tann, weil Sie die Grundsätze des Medienstaatsvertrags zur Neutralität missachten. 5. Sie wissen so gut wie ich, dass letzteres nicht passieren wird. Aber Tann hat dieses Gebot gröblich verletzt. Den Botschafter herablassend - und falsch - zu belehren, wie angeblich die „Pressefreiheit in Deutschland“ funktioniert, ist vor allem: Peinlich für Sie. Auf offener Bühne. Und wissen Sie was? Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass der Herr Botschafter Sie da in die Falle gelockt hat. Weil er traurigerweise bei Ihnen und Tann weiß, dass der ÖRR Journalismus so schlecht geworden ist, dass er nicht mal die Grundlagen der eigenen Arbeit recherchieren kann, bevor er tweetet. Peinlich. Und entlarvend.

Israeli settlers and occupation forces launched violent raids across the occupied West Bank, injuring several Palestinians, storming homes, and escalating daily attacks.
Those who were around in the 40s of the previous century had the luxury of pretending not to be aware of what was going on in the Nazi extermination camps.
Today, none of us even has a shred of an excuse. #Israel, the #West, #Egypt and the #Gulf states are deliberately starving the people of #Gaza.
There is no context whatsoever in which collective starvation of a population can be viewed as self defense.
It's pure evil, and we're all up to our ears complicit in it.

i'm lolbert BUT to have my lolbert fantasy play out people around need to have the same general cultural values. like respecting life, property, etc.
which a sizeable minority currently doesn't. current power grid does actively support people who are against my values whether directly through financing (NGOs) or indirectly through lenient handling of heinous crime and iron fisted persecution of victimless crimes.
So there are minimum requirements to get in, but meeting those requirements still doesn't guarantee everyone access to socialist welfare programs on the backs of the others...
@cjd welfare itself isn't even my main pain point. it's the money actively put into destructive policies like facilitating mass immigration because pension funds running dry and "more nurses". put the fucking money into pension funds directly. don't import millions of ill people, properly finance hospitals.
in any case the house needs to be in order before handing it over. won't be pretty, likely not horrible as well, but it's either solve the problems now or there will be nothing left.
The west (US specifically) was murdered by it's power elite. Every policy decision post-1960s, and ESPECIALLY post-1971, has been specifically designed to destroy the country. The vermin behind this should be hunted down on their islands, smoked out of their bunkers, and shot to bloodline extinction.
People don't understand how drugs (CIA), the war on drugs, and the prison system work together to recruit and train an army of professional violent criminals. And how Fair Housing Act and Section 8 were contrived to criminalize the exclusion that army from any city, town or village.
The US was METICULOUSLY destroyed, by order from the very top.
@cjd it's becoming increasingly hard for me to understand how people still don't see these things. it's willful ignorance.
15-20 years ago when things were still a bit more sane i could get it, i thought alike: "not great, still not really terrible".
in 2025, after 10 years of uncontrolled migration from war zones the west created on purpose, a phony pandemic, a phony war, israel doing genocide with the west cheering it on, it should be pretty clear that everything is corrupt to the core.
Post-2008 has been intentional malevolence in order to provoke civil unrest. Not sure exactly what they're planning, but expecting to see a manufactured hero emerge with some kind of Final Solution, which is of course just more Fell For It Again Award.
common people expect justice in the way of natural law, but the current positive laws are orthogonal to it. positive law has to be an embodiment of natural law. it is perverted now, used against the natural rights it should reflect, for the enrichment and pleasure of few.

the fact is, so much of what is "obvious" to us is the product of invested education in a model that prioritizes predictive power over personal power (science, it's science, folks)
and it is NOT obvious to a MAGA supporter raised in an echo-chamber of religious hokum.

Scariest thing I've ever learned in my entire life.
Seems like in my rush to become more physically active and get in shape I've aggravated my plantar fasciitis. Working out in my bare feet without support for my naturally high arches is one part of the problem, along with walking around barefoot and/or wearing sandals in this warmer weather. Eventually I'll learn my lesson, but for now it feels as if I've got a golf ball pressing into the arch of my foot.
Trying to get back in shape when you're nearing 60 is hazardous to your health
@slamy Friday was the first time that I rode a bike in 45 years. I've done circles in a parking lot in weeks prior, but the other day I did 6 miles. Riding is a lower impact, butthe muscles are used in different ways which can lead to other ailments.
I need to setup my massage table and start doing some good, deep stretching to help my body heal from these new stresses I'm putting it through
@Max_Imum I have the nightbrace, a slant board, massage gun, and lacrosse type ball all to deal with it. I have high arches and over pronate this foot so that doesn't help.
that is a very good question. I guess mostly because of the memes, and the way they reacted, and the fact that the coldplay singer called them out (jokingly) as cheating when the kiss-cam came around and caught them.
@GrimmReality The world has been a worse place for having Scott Adams in it, but to his credit, it will be a better place when he dies.
Times like this also make me reflect on whether or not I've been fair and open to other sides of some issues. I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong. Cancer? Not always a bad thing.
Because what's happening is that billionaires are buying legacy media outlets that are already struggling, and they're doing it for the clout. Same reason they're firing people Trump tells them to. Clout.
I haven't watched broadcast media in 15 years. Not at all. None of my friends have either. None of my colleagues have either.
The thing about fascist takeovers that I'm learning is that the fast parts have to be strategic AF; the rest has to be sloooow.
@blogdiva I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how much of the foolery IS strategic.
I've had a nasty, nasty suspicion this entire time that somebody basically just sicced Trump and these neonazi goons on us like rabid yapyap dogs-- it's obvious they can't follow through on real dictatorship, there's no substance or backbone to them, but whoever is USING them to bludgeon and terrorize us likely DOES have that real staying power. They're not trying to build the traditional dictatorship with some bloviating asshole giving orders and goosestepping parades-- that's the feint that leaves us oh so relieved and grateful to cuddle up to the next smiling Obama type who tells us pretty things and pats us on the head while they hand what's left of our clean water and healthy land over to the vampires burning us all.
They don't need to turn the US into a structured fascist state-- they can just pull the rug out from under us and leave us flailing in gang-torn mayhem just like Afghanistan, Libya, etc etc etc all those countries we've regime-changed and destabilized into war profiteering playgrounds where environmental activists and journalists can be disappeared/whacked with total impunity and the average person is focused on the desperate struggle to keep food on the table and any kind of shanty roof over their heads.
While the overt fash are stomping, the covert ones will take note of who puts up effective resistance-- specifically, who is dutifully fighting to reinstate brunch, and who actually sees the need for more radical change. Brunchers will be hailed and rewarded, radicals will be targeted for stomping.
I think the technofash oligarchs basically just want to clear the floor for their games against each other, reducing governments to broken toys while they consolidate their own power and duke it out over the rubble.
Like "we promise there are two parties now VOTE for the next 40 years for ONE of them NO there isn't another way to organize this or do this" slow.
But if the fast parts aren't strategic, it doesn't matter how well implemented the slow parts were: they're quickly reversible.
Technofascists, Maga fascists, and Christofascists have two things in common: they're extremists, and they're fools. I don't mean they're stupid; I mean they're absolute clowns. Profoundly incapable of astuteness.
Strategically, they should let Colbert blather on about them on his legacy network while they quietly nip things like the Fediverse and other alt media outlets in the bud. Like Tiktok: invent rationales nobody believes then do the thing you have to do to consolidate domestic media control and seize the narrative.
But they're fools. So they're wandering around swinging their dicks into all the things that were relevant *when they were kids*. You know, "dad, guess what I bought?!? CBS!"
"I haven't watched broadcast media in 15 years. Not at all. None of my friends have either. None of my colleagues have either."
Back in 2015, I stayed at a long stay hotel for a 6 month (actually well-paying) internship in the big city. It had a TV. Throughout those 6 months, I never turned it on.
Scott Adams, renowned cartoonist and American neo-nazi, announced he has terminal cancer and, while I know the easy thing is to point out his many failings, I just want to remind everyone, if you can't find something nice to say about a horrible dying piece of shit who used his massive platform to validate the worst people alive and help make the world a materially shittier place, you are welcome to say appropriately bad things about him in my replies.
For people who can't see the neo-nazi-getting-chased-out-of-Punk-Rock-Bowling video because it's got a violence filter and you don't have a youtube account with which to tick a box and get around it, this story, if you scroll down, appears to have the original video as shared via a social media account, so that should skirt your issues. yahoo.com/entertainment/articl…
Every time someone tells me it is bad to wish nazis dead, i reply to them, that there are actual monuments for people who tried to kill hitler. We even name schools after them.

My favorite Scott Adams story is that he went to the mat defending Trump's "inject bleach" guidance, saying that Trump was referring to some new high-tech treatment, not literally bleach. And then, the next day Trump said he was being sarcastic about the bleach thing. So, Scott Adams acknowledged that he had been wrong and apologized - haha, no he did not.
I mourned him when he came out with white nationalist rhetoric. He's been dead to me for years, now the wraith he's become can be buried next to Henry Kissinger, he can RIP 2 for 1 at the cemetery. Bring lots of beverages.
scott adams thinks I'm a subhuman abomination. This is not based on genes (we have gene editing technology) or anything real & material: he's just a segregationist to his cancer-riddled core, and supremacist beliefs were the source of much of his self-worth.
I won't shed a tear for someone so dispicable.
I read like all the dilberts as a nerdy kid with a software dev parent. Incredibly disappointing man. He thinks he's dogbert but he's a mix of catbert and the pointy haired boss.
Actually when I first heard the news I misunderstood, I thought he had already died of cancer. So although it was disappointing to learn I was wrong, I'm now excited to experience that wonderful feeling again, hopefully soon.

My GP, who insisted I get my prostate stats checked out "just to be sure," was a woman. (She recently passed away, RIP.) The surgeon who operated on me to implant the little greebles that ultimately killed the cancer is a black man.
I guess Adams would rather die than owe his life to a woman or black man.
I hesitate to even allow that he's truly got prostate cancer. It is now (according to aforementioned well-educated and -informed black doctor) one of the most studied and understood cancers, and one of the highest success rates of remission of all cancers. If he let it get to the point where it's going to kill him, he's been extremely lax in his medical care and kind of deserves what he gets.
"How dare you say th-" Motherfucker, I've had and I've seen cancer, and I hope the stupid motherfucker who BELIEVED that horse dewormer would CURE CANCER gets refused every painkiller as the complete waste of medicine it would be.
Scott Adams is singularly not funny. His comic strip was trite, derivative, and boring. It was an insult to his readers. The funniest thing he'll ever do is die of cancer.
He was a keynote speaker at an event I attended back in... Hmm... 1995 probably.
It had nothing to do with the actual event (which was a technical operating system related event) but it was kinda fun because I liked his cartoon.
Why do we see so many people for whom being a good X? (in his case, X is "successful artist and public speaker") and instead you have to become the worst kind of person?
Were they always like this and just good at hiding it?
It’s so far down the list of reasons he’s garbage but I’m still mad about the time he made a sock puppet on MetaFilter to argue with people about how great Scott Adams is. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…
I've known (peripherally) some horrible people who saw the world more clearly in their last months of life and died trying to undo the damage they had visited upon the world around them so there's hope for him yet.

Security = privacy
This one is obviously not true. Security and privacy aren't linked in any way. The general best practice is to find the services you need that have a good reputation for security, and among these services, try and find one that is private enough for your needs.
Telemetry is always bad
This is simply not true. Telemetry isn't always bad. The image we have of telemetry is that of Windows or macOS, but there are plenty of other ways to do telemetry.
In itself telemetry is a very useful thing: it lets projects or companies identify what is important, what they should fix first. It doesn't mean this data is used to profile you, or being sold to anyone.
If the company or project is something you trust, and that has no current business in data collection, or advertising, then it's probably not a problem.
Tor is an NSA honeypot
TOR is regularly accused of being a honeypot for the NSA. Something that is completely false, as far as anyone knows**
Yes, TOR is based on code developed by the US Navy. Funding for Tor also came from the US government, mostly. The code, however, is open source, and audited.
Is Tor entirely safe? Of course not. It's not a silver bullet, nothing is, and it can be vulnerable to man in the middle attacks or to specific types of monitoring, but it's not an NSA project that's designed to trap you.
Big companies are more secure
This statement is debatable. It's true in some cases. A recent report shows that smaller firms are 3 times more likely to be attacked than big businesses. 60% of cyberattacks seem to target smaller companies. But that's likelihood to be attacked, not necessarily successful attacks.
What is also true is that not all big tech companies are very good on the security front. So, while yes, bigger companies can be more secure than smaller ones, it's not a one size fits all thing, and what you need to look for is what kind of security the company you're interested in for a specific service or app has put in place.
Incognito mode is private
It isn't. What incognito mode does, is make you private locally, on your device, as it doesn't store data on what you've visited, your credentials, and the like.
Incognito mode doesn't, however, prevent websites from tracking you, or fingerprinting you.
VPNs are the only privacy tool you need
VPNs aren't a magical thing that instantly makes you private. Using a VPN will change your IP address and make you harder to track online, that's true. They're a good tool, but you need to make sure that the company that provides the VPN service doesn't log everything you do, and doesn't give these logs to various other actors. If you log into a service or website while using a VPN, it still knows it's you, obviously.
Privacy is impossible
This one has to be the most nefarious myth ever. Privacy is NOT impossible. It's not easy, but it's not impossible. Generally, this statement just betrays a lack of motivation. It will never be 100% perfect, but you can limit immensely what is known or collected about you.
I have nothing to hide
This is complete bogus. First, if you think you have nothing to hide, you're wrong. Everyone has something that might not be illegal, but might be deemed immoral or unacceptable by someone else.
Second, you might feel this way now, but circumstances change, and the data collected about you doesn't go away. By leaving all these tidbits of data stored everywhere, you're basically giving ammunition to the future.
