Whenever you see a new government policy described as “tough,” try this: replace the word “tough” with “cruel.” You’ll then likely better understand what’s going on at the human level.
2024 is a mega election year and the EU elections are taking place this week. This is the 2nd largest election in the world - around 350 million people are eligible to vote.
Just like the elections in India and the USA this year - this one is very important for coexistence on our planet. Therefore, we want to use our reach and call on all those who are entitled to vote to make their voice heard.
We must not leave the EU to the far-right parties and must defend our democracies. Please vote.
Biden claims to broker a ceasefire while simultaneously supporting and supplying Israel's actions in Gaza, allowing daily war crimes against Palestinians to continue unchecked.
"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability. Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."

My city is chock full of them. Horrid screens that play bright images, even with motion. At nearly every bus stop. At every big intersection. Many subway stations are nearly unusable.

Anything from Vox Media and The Atlantic is now untrustworthy in any capacity from now on. Remember this when reading or linking to any articles in the future.

Man or Bear: When cycling, I once came upon a black bear off the side of a mountain road. It turned & ran. I have also been followed by a man who I believe was mentally unstable. The police warned him not to follow me. But he followed me 2 more times. I changed my regular route.
