Yet to date, there has been no explanation as to who is responsible for spying on these journalists. The attacks occurred in early 2025.

AP mentions the Italian government might be behind it, they don’t offer any proof but can’t imagine they’d make such aligation without reason.

ROME (AP) — Spyware from a U.S.-backed Israeli company was used to target the phones of at least three prominent journalists in Europe, two of whom are editors at an investigative news site in Italy, according to digital researchers at Citizen Lab, citing new forensic evidence of the attacks.

The findings come amid a growing questions about what role the government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni may have played in spying on journalists and civil society activists critical of her leadership, and raised new concerns about the potential for abuse of commercial spyware, even in democratic countries.

My point exactly, yet you wrote that this text is more honest so i am not following what you were trying to say.

In the republics of Sakha and Dagestan, sewage systems are absent from as many as 41% of all school buildings; in Tyva, that is true for more than half of all schools.

A good reminder of how little Russian rulers care about the dirt poor people in their ‘colonies’.

Probably doesn’t help that a lot is wood and panels, instead of brick or concrete. If you live near a busy street with insulated windows you can almost completely block out the noise nowadays (Although you’re still stuck with the pollution and can’t really open the windows), but technology can really counter some of those problems. But i wouldn’t fight the system on my own, so I probably would do the same in your position.

Well nato soldiers do a lot of shit, sometimes with permission of or even ordered by their superiors, there are numerous war crimes that have not been put to justice. But that doesn’t mean that it would be willing to bomb civilians as a means when it comes to a war against russia. Nato and putin adhere to very different principles, not just moral ones.

They all want to live in a detached single home (is that how you call it?), so not enough density for a store to make profit. Glad I don’t live there tbh.

The only way to counter this is consuming less animal products, capitalism is too strong to battle this with regulations for ‘animal-friendly’ meat and dairy products (though those are necessary too). There are a lot of alternatives and some are really easy to use instead. Less animal products sold = less animals suffering.

New guidance in the UK has handed British police the power to trawl through women’s phones if they suspect said individual has undergone an illegal abortion.

As per an announcement made by the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) last month, officers investigating the causes of stillbirths, miscarriages and unexpected pregnancy losses will now be permitted access to check menstrual cycle tracking apps.

The alleged aim of the incoming procedure is to ‘establish a woman’s knowledge and intention in relation to the pregnancy.’

Women’s houses could also be searched for abortion drugs in accordance.

In England and Wales, abortion remains a criminal offence unless carried out under specific legal circumstances.

Her parents are refugees, you can legally belong one place and emotionally belong somewhere else. It’s not all black and white.

I am not Muslim and to me cutting the throat of a cow does not sound like something God wants people to be doing to celebrate him. Aside from that, you are the one who gets to decide what you do as you’ll be the one bearing the consequences. Both the option of repeating it next year and not will have results you might like or might not like. Best advise I can give is to look at the reasoning behind why you would make a certain choice. Try to uncover what your intentions are. And this is in no way meant cynical, try to uncover what God wants for you to do.
