Viņi neteica, ka konvencija ir tikai papīra gabals? :) Un tagad tās vietā viņi piedāvā… wait for it… papīra gabalu? :)

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Šodien pie mums viesojās Rumānijas Valsts kancelejas ierēdņi. Skaudīgi dzirdēt, ka viņi izmantoja Atveseļošanās mehānismu dažādu nozaru reformām. Atgādināšu, ka mums tas tika politiski sadalīts partijām "kam pietrūkās fondos".

Moscow, whose forces invaded Ukraine in 2022, have in recent weeks escalated aerial attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities and rail systems. Russia’s task is to create chaos and apply psychological pressure on the population through strikes on energy facilities and railways. Continue reading...

NA, AS un ZZS izstrādājušas deklarāciju pret vardarbību, kurā tostarp ņemts vērā Stambulas konvencijas tvērums attiecībā uz vardarbības izskaušanu. Konvencija slikta, no tās jāizstājas, bet vienlaikus laba, tās ideja jāsaglabā. Man salūza smadzenes.

Aizrādi šoferim, ja nejūties droši! Ar šādu aicinājumu sākusies kampaņa, kurā pasažierus lūdz nedrošās situācijās aizrādīt šoferim, jo ne tikai autovadītāji, bet arī blakus sēdošie pasažieri ir satiksmes dalībnieki, kas var ietekmēt satiksmes drošību.

Kuldīgā mirušās Luīzes mamma uzticēja IR traģisko stāstu, lai brīdinātu citus vecākus. Luīzei bija 21 un, visticamāk, viņa nelegālās tabletes pamēģināja pirmoreiz mūžā. Kā skaidro ārsti, sintētiskās narkotikas ir tik jaudīgas, ka to pārdozēšanai pietiek ar niecīgu daudzumu.

"Tas, ka patriotismam jābūt homofobiskam, ir, maigi izsakoties, izdomājums. Homofobiski uzbrukumi Rietumiem un Eiropas Savienībai ir Kremļa naratīvu neatņemama sastāvdaļa." satori.lv/article/neve...

Kolēģei Vitai forša intervija ar "skandalozā "Wolt" un "Bolt" pētījuma" autori Maiju Spuriņu. Par platformu biznesa stratēģiju (ienāk tirgū, rada labus apstākļus, piesaista vietējo darbaspēku, tad nogriež ekstras, vietējie dodas citur un darbu sāk legālie imigranti) utt. www.delfi.lv/51042699/lat...

Laba iespēja nopelnīt vai ekspluatācija? Ko atklāj "skandalozais "Wolt" un "Bolt Food" pētījums"

"Daļa kurjeru uzskatīja, ka tas ir verga darbs un ekspluatācija, bet bija tādi, kas teica – super, ka man ir šī iespēja, ka viņi man ļauj dzīvot tā, kā es gribu dzīvot!"

Is solipsism measurable?

Seven studies developed a self-report scale of how much one doubts that others exist (beyond one's own mind).

It correlated with loneliness, social disconnection, aggression, and problematic gaming.

Dutch courts fighting to make Facebook and Instagram useable again.

Last week, a Dutch court ordered Meta to give Facebook & Instagram users the right to set a chronological feed by default - one of the first EU cases applying the DSA in civil proceedings.

To unpack what this means, I spoke with @bitsoffreedom.bsky.social:

Libs of Tiktok, Elon Musk, and Robbie Starbuck put everything they had into trying to push a boycott of Netflix over LGBTQ characters in their shows.

Netflix ignored them and the stock is back up. Turns out bots don't actually cancel accounts.

Es nedomāju, ka viņiem (vismaz lielai daļa) ir šāds uzskats. Cita lieta - ja var kaut kādus politiskos punktu iegūt, paužot šādu uzskatu, tad lielai daļai tā liekas pieņemama stratēģija. Tas pats par Ratnieka aptauju. Es domāju, ka viņš ļoti labi zina, ko viņš dara.
