Local Call reporter Oren Ziv reported from the Jordan Valley, where the Israeli army is issuing evacuation orders and seizing land to prepare a massive new separation wall that will sever the region from the rest of the West Bank — part of a wider project to annex the Palestinian “breadbasket.”

Also:

• ICE tripled its reliance on Microsoft in last six months, leaked files reveal
• Israel’s new separation wall will sever Jordan Valley from rest of West Bank
• No explanation, no appeal: Israel revoking entry authorization of foreign activists
• In widening Saudi-UAE rift, Israel is at the heart of a narrative war
• With foreign backing, Israel’s solar energy boom is powering apartheid

The researchers suggest that policymakers should focus on design elements with an eye on psychological needs, “discouraging agency-reducing features like autoplay and infinite scroll,” rather than implementing broader rules on screen time or on social media regardless of platform. Beyond this, politicians and regulators would be wise to follow the authors’ lead and embrace the complexity of the relationship between adolescent social media use and mental health by paying attention to regulations’ impact on minorities, divergent psychological effects, and the constant flux in platform features and how they are used.

These people just never learn.... And they cry when Labor wins govt.

Failure to follow the order is subject to a $2,000 fine or up to 3 months in jail.

The behaviours mentioned in the video (that are not in the draft explanatory note ^pdf^):

• Behavior indicating an intent to inhabit a public place
• Rough sleeping
• All forms of begging
• Breaching the peace
• Obstructing or impeding someone from entering a business
• Disorderly, disruptive, threatening, or intimidating behavior

Hon Mark Mitchel (Minister of Police) chimes in at 10:23 to acknowledge that the people subject to the order are vulnerable people.

At 17:54 a reporter asks about descretionary enforcement and Mitchel confirms the planned use of selective enforcement which increases the risk of targeting marginalised populations.

The YT comments are gold.

This was also reported on in November '25.

Some group on Bandcamp probably did it back in like 2016 and then broke up in 2017 after releasing 3 singles. But I don't feel like googling it.

“El Mencho” was the longtime head of one of the nation’s most powerful cartels. Armed groups set fire to cars and buildings across Mexico in the wake of his death.

I'm asking not specifically about smoke detectors but any device that beeps but does not make any other, non-beeping sounds. Examples include microwaves, the timers on ovens, the fare system on a bus when you give it your fare, the little beepy heart monitor things in hospitals and old-school digital watches. These things beep but they seem to only beep; they do not make any other, non-beeping sounds.

So my question is: how do these things beep? It must be a speaker right (?), and if it is a speaker then why do these devices never make any other sounds other than beeping? (Because presumably speakers have a greater range than just a few beeps.) Or do these devices have specialized speakers that can only make a few sounds? If so, how do these speakers work?

I'm not sure if I articulated this very well but hopefully that makes sense.

I am so broke and I'm so fired

I need some fuel to build a fire

The fash next door, his lights are out , yeah, ooh

The landlord's gone , I'm down and out

It's warm bean time again You know it'll always win warm bean time again

You know it is the only thing that keeps us together

It's time to leave and get more beans

Around the corner at the beanis store 🏪

Heh-heh, the cheapest stuff is all I need

To get me back on my feet 🦶again

From Brazil’s cattle pastures to Indonesia’s palm oil plantations, so-called green European funds that claim to combat climate change are financing companies involved in deforestation and rising emissions.

These €9B in investments may well come from European customers who are unaware that they are entrusting their savings to portfolios holding companies with a high deforestation risk. A recent report from the Sustainable Finance Observatory shows that while 74% of EU retail investors have sustainability-related objectives, in 57% of advice meetings these preferences were not automatically assessed.

Finity principal Stephen Lau said an increase in disasters caused by climate change and an increase in building costs had been the main drivers for insurance price hikes.

Don't see how, Senator Malcom Roberts (One Nation} said climate change doesn't exist and they're super popular in the polls.

Mullvad also pointed to other instances of alleged attempts to “escalate censorship and mass surveillance” in the UK, citing efforts to force Apple to install backdoors in its end-to-end encrypted cloud service, proposals that could introduce “client-side scanning and government spyware on all UK phones”, and government plans to fast-track legislation requiring identity verification for VPN use.

The tiny islets, known as Takeshima in Japan and Dokdo in South Korea, which controls them, have long been a source of tension between the two neighbours, whose relations remain strained by disputes rooted in Japan's colonial rule of the Korean peninsula from 1910 to 1945.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has entrusted Ali Larijani, the top national security official, to ensure the Islamic Republic endures any military attacks and targeted killings.

“We are ready in our country,” Mr. Larijani said in an interview with Al Jazeera when he visited the Qatari capital, Doha, this month. “We are definitely more powerful than before. We have prepared in the past seven, eight months. We found our weaknesses and fixed them. We are not looking for war, and we won’t start the war. But if they force it on us, we will respond.”

Ayatollah Khamenei has instructed Mr. Larijani and a handful of other close political and military associates to ensure that the Islamic Republic survives not only American and Israeli bombs, but also any assassination attempts on its top leadership, including on Ayatollah Khamenei himself, according to the six senior officials and the Guards members.

I set up a quick demonstration to show risks of curl|bash and how a bad-actor could potentially hide a malicious script that appears safe.

It's nothing new or groundbreaking, but I figure it never hurts to have another reminder.

It's full of furries and CRINGE

So this is kinda of a follow up from one of my older posts, but you can say im a child of a hoarding family but some of its my fault aswell. My mother believes we dont need an external help and that i can do it by myself as if its my problem, which bugs me and demotivated me knowing how lazy and annoying m family is.

Im here to ask what should i do, i would move out but i cant. I want to know the math behind how much clutter one person can get rid by themselfs, and how much time it would take. its not like the stuff you see on tv and theirs no rotting food but still. I also would like to know how to get motivated and stay motivated?

What would you advise i do?

One of the best discussions about what happened in Venezuela I've heard. We will be learning about examples from Lenin, Uncle Ho, Miranda and Bolívar. Pick the English subs if you need, they're good, and I really encourage everyone to listen.
