In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

This sequence of posts sums it up, really. Men are the problem - cis men, who don’t need to change anything about themselves to do harm - but trans people are the scapegoat because tackling men would require a total dismantling of societal structure.

A story about the former Premier League referee David Coote admitting making an indecent image of a child, followed by a story about trans people being at risk of exclusion from many UK public spaces

Hey @london.gov.uk I’m actually a big fan of the sharia law we already have but can we also add for London: don’t use earphones, ears cut off, and preaching loudly and obnoxiously: I guess vocal chords cut out? Thx x

I mean, even if you insist that the contest is non-political (lol) and the genocide shouldn’t factor into it (which is quite a place to argue yourself into, but nonetheless), the fact that they’ve tried to rig the outcome for the last two years ought to be grounds for expulsion surely

🚨 The vote to determine Israel's participation in #Eurovision 2026 will no longer take place in November, the EBU has confirmed today.

Instead, an "open and in-person discussion" will take place at the EBU General Assembly in December. No vote is currently planned.
