Hirom,

Twitter/X is such a cesspool. The end of nitter is an occasion to completely stop using Twitter, and instead go to the fediverse, subscribe to a newspaper.

Hirom,

That’s why cabin crew recommend always wearing the seat-belt during the flight.

Hirom,

The commission said 29 people have so far filed to run for the presidency. But after today’s decision, Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.

Not just this anti-war candidate. It appears all candidates are banned from challenging Putin.

Everyone assumed as much. But there is now confirmation that the next election won’t be free. It’s important to be able to point to specific actions and behavior when saying Russia isn’t a free country.

Hirom,

The bill has since been reworked to specify that it only applies to holy books from religions recognised in Denmark.

I guess it’s now more clearly defined to reference to religion recognized by Danish administrations.

Hirom,

This looks like a tabloid, ie writing about something sensationalist but not necessarily newsworthy as a trick to get reader engagement.

The more I hear about the israel-palestine conflict, the more it looks like an inextricable mess.

Hirom,

Algorithmic moderation was never going to be effective.

This comes after an order to evacuate a city with >0.7 million inhabitants within 24h without preparation, with broken infrastructure and broken government, with a treat of invasion.

There’s no way this happen without panic, and without people being left behind.

I fear we’re going to hear more horrific stories as the dust settles.

Hirom,

It’s a bit light for a news story. It could have been a lengthier analysis on Twitter’s decline and spread of hate speech on the platform.

This isn’t what I would call news. The article provide no new substantive information, and it’s not significant enough to be world news.

It’s not even punditry. IMHO this fits in the “old man yell at clouds” category.

Multiple countries need to fix their inadequate regulations to stop aggravating antibiotics resistance, including:

Hirom,

What about ending coal?

Hirom,

I watched it a second time to be sure. While the voiceover doesn’t say “Holy War” he does cite religion and sounds like religious radicals dog-whistle.

There’s good reasons to be critical of Netanyahu government, but I’d still suggest seeking better sources.

Hirom,

Be aware that Middle East Monitor is rated “Factual reporting: Mixed” and strongly biased as it sometime use poor sources and use loaded words.

La Croix published an alaysis of this Isaiah Prophecy quote (french). They found it’s a poor and/or convoluted reference, and that article do not mention “Holy War” so this expression is most likely editorializing from the Middle East Monitor.

Hirom,

Mods appears to be flexible with rule and take gentler approach when it’s not abuse. That’s a good approach.

The line can be blurry between US News that’s relevant at the local/national level and fit better within c/usnews, and relevant globally and may fit better in c/worldnews readers. Here I’d argue it’s the former.

Hirom,

The scam has “Trump” in its name, that’s a big red flag.

As a side note, pease consider posting US-specific articles and local news to c/usnews.

Hirom,

Governments should definitely have done a better job to ease tensions and avoid faith-based hate and backlash for muslims.

A good thing officials could do is explicitly oppose to the rhetoric of religioius war that Daech/Isis is trying to spread, and defend France’s universalist model that aims and succeed in large part to have citizens of all faith peacefully cohabit.

Note Hijab is banned in a few places like schools. I don’t think it’s a good law but wanted to point out the ban isn’t countrywide.

Hirom,

What did they get in return?

There’s little doubt of the attacker motive given he invoked his god, and given the timing. But nothing suggest the teacher was personally targeted for his faith. He may have been the first person the attacker ran into.

There have been a few articles about Dominique Bernard, the teacher who fell victim. AFP/Sud Ouest talk about his professional life and character. France Bleu says students like him, and that he interposed himself between the attacker and others. Neither suggest he was targeted for his faith, or even mention his faith at all.

Update: La Croix/AFP quote a few people who knew the victim, speaking highly of him, and say the victim is member of a familiy of “enlightened Catholics”
