Civil olydnad där man blivit bortburen vilket lett till dagsböter i båda fallen. Ändå ses det som som ett allvarligt hot (att utöva sin demonstrationsfrihet). This is bad y'all!

When I was about seven, an uncle told me you had to remove the yellow bit from an egg before eating it. I removed the yolks from every egg I ate up to the age of 14 when a tableful of school mates ended up rolling around the floor in hysterics when I explained what I was doing.

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

The CRASH Clock uses the current density in altitude bins (averaged over eccentric orbits) of satellites, rocket bodies, and tracked debris, assuming typical cross sections for each type and orbital speeds. This calculation tells us how long to a collision if all orbital maneuvers were to suddenly stop.

The CRASH Clock is currently* at 2.8 days.

In 2018 it was 121 days.

*This is actually for June 2025 because that's when we ran it. Will update soon!

In what can only be described as the most obvious antitrust lawsuit in the AI space, the EU is investigating Google for using websites content for AI overviews & AI mode without compensation or a way to opt out without also opting out of search.

They are also investigating use of YouTube data for similar reasons and say it puts other AI companies at a disadvantage. Once I saw Gemini can access YouTube and ChatGPT can’t, I knew this was coming.

Speaking with FRANCE 24's Carys Garland, David Camroux, Senior Researcher & Adjunct Professor at Sciences Po CERI, explains that there is no political will to resolve the border dispute due to the fragile position of the current Thai government on one side and the need for the Cambodian government to divert attention from domestic scam centres on the other.

3,150-year-old papyrus reveals the world’s earliest recorded labour strike. New analysis of the Turin Strike Papyrus—a detailed account from 1157 BCE—shows how artisans building the royal tombs at Deir el-Medina staged a coordinated walkout after going 18 days without grain rations. The document reads like an ancient industrial dispute: workers blocking gates, sending written demands to officials, and ultimately winning emergency payments. https://collezioni.museoegizio.it/en-GB/material/Cat_1880
