Germany's Bundesrat, the upper house of parliament, backed a bill to criminalize the denial of Israel's right to exist on Friday, a motion that constitutional experts said could jeopardize freedom of expression.

According to the bill, anyone denying Israel's right to exist or calling for its abolition would be punished with a prison sentence of up to five years under the regulation. The bill will be examined by the Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, after its summer recess.

Director of the Security and Intelligence Service of Moldova, Alexandru Musteata, said that Russia has begun to use the video platform TikTok more actively to spread propaganda.

...

He stated that Russia is already preparing to interfere in the upcoming elections in Moldova and has intensified its disinformation campaigns, as well as its attempts to influence public opinion.

He added that while the messaging app Telegram was previously the main channel for spreading Russian propaganda, the video platform TikTok has now become the primary tool.

In addition, campaigns to manipulate public opinion on Facebook have resumed, and temporary websites created specifically to spread false information have appeared.

According to Musteata, the goal of these campaigns is to undermine citizens’ trust in democratic institutions.

“Campaigns are being carried out to discredit the army, the security sector, law enforcement agencies, and the justice system. The goal is to lower the level of trust so that by the next election cycle, citizens will begin to doubt whether state institutions are functioning effectively,” explained the director of the SIS.

The European Commission ... has approved definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of certain tires from China used on passenger cars and light trucks and buses.

...

The duties range from 4.3% to 45.3%, depending on the manufacturer. The Commission said the measures are intended to offset the effects of dumping and help ensure fair competition for tire makers operating within the EU.

...

The measures were adopted under the European Union’s trade defense framework, which permits anti-dumping duties when imported goods are found to be priced below their normal value and to have caused harm to producers in the bloc.

The decision comes amid broader trade frictions between Brussels and Beijing, with both sides pursuing trade-related investigations and other measures affecting a range of industrial products.

Hello fellow ADHD people!

I had a weird idea today. I've noticed that sometimes I have a single specific task that I avoid incredibly painfully, to the point where, even on my best days, I basically do everything else. And it makes other things easier because the more I think about the task that I'm avoiding, the more my brain is running away to do other things.

It made me wonder, maybe I can make a dummy task that isn't really critical, but make myself think that it is, and avoid it, therefore increasing my motivation to do other tasks as a form of avoidance.

Any opinions or experiences about this?

Beach parties and orgies are the obvious exceptions
