Släpper de alltid ettan i förväg? Är det så tidningar gör nu för tiden i allmänhet? Har mest läst på webben de senaste ~10 åren, där redan "rubriken" är ett ganska flytande koncept, för att inte tala om "ettarubrik", så har dålig koll på hur sånt ligger görs numera.

Is this a "sign that you have been living in techno dystopia for too long, #311"?

I was running a profitable tech PR agency. It looked impressive enough on LinkedIn. It paid for fancy dinners and weekend getaways. I had the clients, the connections, and a couple of shiny awards gathering dust on my bookshelf. My phone buzzed constantly.
But something was starting to unravel.
Like a loose thread on a comfortable sweater. You know you shouldn't pull on it, but you can't help yourself.

Three-quarters of the EU's 🇪🇺 electricity has been generated by CO2 #emissions-free sources ☀️ so far this year, making it the bloc's greenest power mix to date, industry data shows https://buff.ly/4cofxmn

Så inte torgmöten?
Tror jag sett flygblad utdelning kanske en gång hittills på typ tre val, men det kanske är mer jag som sitter hemma för mycket...

Hur funkar valkampanjerna i Frankrike? Förutom alla utspel i medierna (som pågår även när det inte är val) har jag svårt att se spår efter kampanjerna...
Den mest tydliga indikatorn är alla temporära väggar som dyker upp för affischer, men dessa verkar mest stå tomma?

Oj, är det värt att läsa fokus annars?
Jag slutade följa när de fick ny chefredaktör från DI vars första krönika lovade att triggervarningar inte skulle förekomma (aldrig sett de där innan) och rättelser på första sidan i all tysthet försvann
@jonbrunberg This seems like a good neuro talk to me, but I'd like your perspective, it's not good to try to learn from bad sources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIHOTiLi_Rw

More white women voted for Trump than Biden in 2016.
More white women voted for Trump than Biden in 2020. In fact, Trump's margin of victory with white women, grew.🤷🏿♂️
More young white people (18 to 29) voted for Trump than Biden in 2016.

But you don't see people cursing out white women online and then blocking them, like they do to Black men.
You know why.

Using a gun is not that hard. I can teach a rank beginner in a week.
Growing tomatoes is hard! You can't get good at growing tomatoes in a week, or even 1 season.
Being destructive is easy. Being constructive is hard. But ultimately constructive wins out over destructive.
Humans are social animals. We survive calamities by working together in community. That selfish dude gets thrown out of the commune to try and use his survival skills on the zombies, solo

There's something that nearly everyone gets wrong about the Ashley Madison data dump from 2015. And I should know, because I was one of the reporters who broke the story. It's my latest for @newscientist (sign up for a free account to read).

So I have this right:
Synagogue: We will host a real estate event literally in the synagogue and sell property to Jews on illegally occupied land in Palestine.
Antizionists: Colonialists! We will protest!
Israeli flag bearers: Fight us!
<fisticuffs>
Politicians: You're protesting a synagogue?! Terrorists! Antizionism is antisemitism!

I suspect this is going to be an incredibly biased poll.

Do you have a book that you are currently reading? (To qualify, it has to be a book - physical or e-book - that you have read within the past 3 days.)
Give this a boost, if you don't mind. It'd be nice to have lots of respondents.
@nus@mstdn.social
Some initial confusion about the numbers is super common though, what with the people dying and things being on fire the accounting tends to be neglected.
This counts double with the sort of rumour based reporting (aka trolling telegram) most western outlets are relegated to in the case of Russia, so I'm not at all surprised and I don't think it's noteworthy.
Certainly doesn't change the big picture story of several Crimeans dying on a beach because of the war.

Great news about HIV protection: “Results from a large clinical trial in Africa showed that a twice-yearly injection of a new antiviral drug gave young women total protection from the virus.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/health/lenacapavir-hiv-prevention-africa.html?unlocked_article_code=1.1k0.48pH.ML6CbYVKmd5v

It looks more like Ukraine attacked the naval base nearby and the Russian anti-air interception created the debris that struck the beach. I've seen claims that some russian aa missiles directly hit the beach, and not only bits of Ukrainian and Russian weapons.
In any case, this is hardly the first time there are civilian casualties in Russia due to Ukrainian fire. It's rather just another example that civilians always die in war even if you are careful, and not indicative of any new trend.
"Kravet om att redogöra för och avbryta samarbeten med israeliska lärosäten bottnar i mångt och mycket i en vilja att vara med och påverka vad de anställdas arbete bidrar till. I nuläget är det svårt att få reda på vilka samarbeten som Uppsala universitet har med israeliska lärosäten, säger Milan Vukašinović.
– Det här ska vara offentlig information, men det har varit oerhört svårt att få klara svar, vi blir hänvisade i cirklar. Samma typ av information var i jämförelse lätt att ta fram när man bröt samarbeten med ryska lärosäten."
