Happy Independence Day, Iceland! 🇮🇸🎉

On June 17, 1944, Iceland gained independence from Denmark, ending centuries of foreign rule. Reykjavík comes alive today with parades, concerts, colorful costumes, and flags waving across the city.

俄罗斯异见艺术家在波兰街头遭枪杀 （图中是他不久前举着“普京被苏联独裁者斯大林抱在怀里”的画作）

一名曾批评俄罗斯总统普京的44岁俄罗斯艺术家，在波兰东部城市比亚瓦-波德拉斯卡（Biala Podlaska）的住所附近遭近距离枪杀身亡。

波兰警方表示，案发后，两名分别为37岁和33岁的白俄罗斯公民在白俄罗斯领事馆附近被捕。

波兰媒体确认死者为罗伯特·库佐夫科夫（Robert Kuzovkov），但根据波兰隐私法，检察官仅将其称为罗伯特·K（Robert K.）。

生前他是一位使用“谢苗·斯克雷佩茨基”（Semyon Skrepetsky）做为笔名的漫画艺术家。

谢苗·斯克雷佩茨基曾绘制过普京、车臣领导人卡德罗夫（Ramzan Kadyrov）及其他俄罗斯高官的讽刺肖像画。其中一幅画描绘了普京被苏联独裁者斯大林抱在怀里的场景。

周日，他在自己的YouTube频道上发布了一段视频，显示他于6月12日（俄罗斯主权日）在柏林将一面俄罗斯国旗扔进了垃圾桶。

2021年，谢苗·斯克雷佩茨基因担心自己在俄罗斯遭受政治迫害而移居波兰。

流亡期间，他保持着一种特立独行的姿态，既参加俄罗斯反对派的活动，同时也公开批评反对派本身。

波兰检察官称，一名身份不明男子在谢苗·斯克雷佩茨基住所附近向他开了两枪，随后在近距离又补了三枪，然后逃离现场。检察官表示，受害者因头部、胸部和背部中弹当场死亡。

本周三，波兰总理图斯克谈到这起案件时说，“种种迹象表明，这是一起政治谋杀。”他补充道：“如果这起谋杀是由俄罗斯指使的，那么这将是一个具有国际影响的严重事件。”

6月16日，是香港反送中大游行7周年。

7年前，200万香港人走上街头，抗议林郑月娥政府修订逃犯条例。

7年后，香港的一国两制名存实亡，公开纪念被严厉打压、街头早已归于沉寂。

不少香港人在网上对这场游行进行纪念。
200万+1，+1是对反送中首位死去的香港社会运动人士梁凌杰的致敬。

Look twice — is that the sky, or the sea? 🌊✨

On calm mornings along Kanagawa’s coast, the shoreline can turn into a near-perfect mirror of the clouds above. ☁️ It’s an easy day trip from the Tokyo area, and a quiet, dreamlike view worth slowing down for.

Would you add this coastal escape to your Tokyo-area itinerary? 🚃

Over 250 million years, volcanic activity and shifting tectonic plates completely transformed the Dolomites. Look closely at the rocks today, and you’ll still find fossils of ancient marine life and cyanobacteria.
