Hoe noem je zoiets #journacide? Het is géén foutje, ik hoef geen fake onderzoek of excuus meer te zien van @IsraeliPM dit is minimaal de acceptatie van ontstellend veel 'nevenschade' maar vooral het bovenstaande: moord op journalisten. Sancties zijn nodig

@wierdduk Door kopstukken uit te schakelen creër je alleen maar meer monsters. Steeds radicalere idioten zullen de boel overnemen. Elke oorlog en/of aanval van Israël zorgt voor meer en meer Hamas aanhangers. Dit is een vicieuze cirkel.

@NS_online Het duurder maken van de treinkaartjes jaagt mensen nog meer de auto in. Misschien is het toch geen gek idee om de spoorwegen maar weer een overheidsinstelling te maken.

@JuridischLoket Ik zie elke dag reclame van gokwebsite Plinko op social media onder allerlei verschillende namen. Ik kom er maar niet van af. Volgens de website van de @Ksa_Nederland hebben ze geen vergunning. Hoe kan ik een melding maken? #Plinko #kansspelautoriteit #gokken

MAGA is mostly Russian. The reason these accounts have so many followers is because Russia used huge troll farms to increase their followers.

I’m sick of people trying to gaslight everyone by telling them “we’ve always had fires in Alberta.” Of course, we’ve always had fires. But the last few years are off the charts. I grew up here. The average used to be 12 HOURS of smoke cover in a summer. Now it’s days and weeks.

The UK police openly siding with the anti-democratic fossil fuel lobbyists of neoliberalism think tank @PolicyExchange . This is not a public serving institution. This is active complicity.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The sentences handed to the five @JustStop_Oil campaigners are utterly disproportionate. Four and five years in prison for peaceful protest? This is what you might expect in Russia or Egypt, not in a supposed democracy. https://t.co/jE3YUrd9EY

@GeorgeMonbiot We need now to come together. Please sign the petition to demand an end to this madness.

North Korea publicly executed 30 teenagers for watching a South Korean drama smuggled on a USB.

"It was over in a flash (Bang! Bang!). In the past, the punishment would have been one year of reformatory punishment (imprisonment), so I was shocked at the level of punishment."

North Korea also responded nervously to "plastic bottles of rice" that defector groups were sending out to sea by floating them. "Some residents were given hard labor punishment for picking up plastic bottles and cooking rice with them to eat."

In 2020, North Korea adopted the “Anti-reactionary Ideology and Culture Act,” banning the distribution, watching, or listening to South Korean cultural content. Violations can result in years of hard labor for small quantities and even death for larger amounts.

North Korea has increasingly relied on public executions under dictator Kim Jong-un to tighten control over the population. Experts attribute this rise in executions to the country's deteriorating economy, which necessitates stringent measures to maintain control. Historically, North Korea has used fear-inducing public executions to enforce compliance.

One notable incident occurred at the Hyesan Airfield near the Chinese border in Ryanggang Province, where a man was executed in front of local villagers for smuggling much needed medical supplies considered contraband. Many North Korean residents forced to witness these public executions have reportedly suffered from fainting, insomnia, and post-traumatic stress disorder. This alarming escalation in fear tactics and public executions raises significant international concerns about the ongoing human rights crisis in North Korea.

Special note

In 2024 North Korea entered an official military alliance with Russia and has been shipping military equipment, ammunition, and ballistic missiles to Russia for use against Ukraine. Russia may have received 1.6 million artillery shells from North Korea over the course of six months. The agreement between Kim and Putin declares that "In case any one of the two sides is put in a state of war by an armed invasion from an individual state or several states, the other side shall provide military and other assistance with all means in its possession without delay."

@NS_online Trein van Hilversum naar Utrecht. Ram vol. Bedankt. Nu maar een taxi genomen met mede reizigers. #treininfarct

[Jorn Kortooms @smootrok]

@Forza_U_ @Politie Ja joh. De meeste mensen liggen rond die tijd in bed en hebben geen behoefte aan idioten die onnodig aan het toeteren zijn. Lekker aso om niet aan ouderen en kinderen te denken. Boete voor onnodig toeteren is €160. Jammer dat de politie dit niet binnen heeft geharkt.

[Jorn Kortooms @smootrok]

@Politie gaan jullie nog iets doen aan al die idioten die lopen te toeteren? #Utrecht #nachtrust #leukdatvoetbal

[Jorn Kortooms @smootrok]

@Forza_U_ @Politie Beiden super asociaal. Waarom moet de hele wijk last hebben van voetbalfans?

The Cambodian authorities must release all the environmental human rights defenders immediately.

I was abducted and beaten by soldiers while reporting on wrongdoing by the Wagner Group in the Central African Republic. Russian paramilitaries in the country ordered the soldiers to torture me. I’m lucky to be alive to tell the story
