The journalist who reacted so correctly strongly to cop sexism, Öznur Değer, has now been imprisoned after torture for having committed journalism (see earlier in this thread) while in Turkey which is terrorism.
'While being taken out of the courtroom, she chanted “Free press cannot be silenced” and her mouth was covered by the police.

The journalist was then sent to prison.'

"Rule 34. Civilian journalists engaged in professional missions in areas of armed conflict must be respected and protected as long as they are not taking a direct part in hostilities" (journalism is NOT "taking direct part in hostilities" by any definition)

"Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria condemned the cowardly crime committed by the Turkish occupying state"
https://hawarnews.com/en/aanes-demands-protection-for-journalists-from-turkish-occupation-crimes

This is a continuation of Turkey's clear intentional and systematic past targeting of several journalists for working in the armed conflict area, similar to how it has been bombing mosques, water treatment plants, electricity generation, UN-affiliated school, hospitals, etc, etc.

"The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the world's largest journalists' union, strongly condemned the killing of two Kurdish journalists, Nazım Daştan and Cihan Bilgin [...]"

"Under dictatorial regimes it has become difficult to reach the truth. Fascism endeavours to create a single voice through every method and means, and to this end, it attacks dissenting voices in every way. For this reason, the free press and free journalism, which defend the truth, are constantly targeted by dictators.
[...]
Attacks on journalists are acts of terrorism perpetrated by dictators to cover up the truth. The occupying Turkish state has turned into a graveyard for journalists and systematically attacks them."

Chatr Production Company, parent co of employer of journalists Hero Bahadin and Gulistan Tara who were recently (Aug 28) war crime drone-murdered by Turkey's military, comments on the new war crime drone-murder of news agency ANHA's journalists Cîhan Bîlgîn and Nazim Dashtan on December 19.

Fascism will lose." then repeated the statement online "We mourn with resistance, by expanding the struggle left to us. And once again; You will be defeated by the Power of Will and Truth!".

"Protest in London: Why the silence, BBC?",
regarding the latest repeat journalist war crime drone-murder by Turkey.
https://medyanews.net/protest-in-london-why-the-silence-bbc/

Why? Well, it's what the Blatantly Biased Conservative (BBC) "News" always does.
BBC "News" should not be considered a news outlet of reasonable standards and should not be used except as a cautionary example of what it looks like when Public Service broadcasters fail the public.
The other parts of the same organizations do not seem to be (as blatantly) afflicted.

'Mother of ANHA agency’s correspondent, Jihan [Cîhan Bîlgîn]: [...]
"She did not carry a weapon in her hand, but rather fought with her pen. Her goal was to reveal the facts and show them to the public, and to be on the side of the people, but she was targeted while seeking to uncover the violations of mercenaries of Turkish occupation. [...] Our goal is peace. We do not want more blood to be shed. Jihan Bleiken always strives for this, and we will fight for this until her demands to end persecution and bring peace are achieved."'

Yesterday: "Istanbul Bar Association [=laywers' organization] demands investigation for murdered journalists", being Cihan Bilgin and Nazım Daştan war crime drone-murdered at Kobane by Turkey for working as journalists publishing Turkey's many routine war crimes within its genocidal war of aggression against the peoples of autonomous North and East Syria ("Rojava")

Meanwhile, Turkey now also drone-murdered a 12-year-old girl and 35-year-old mother, also at Kobane.

Development on the matter of sexual misconduct by a cop against journalists protesting the war crime murder of journalists:
An investigation has been launched.

Against the offending cop and co-culpable colleagues, the bare minimum which should be done by any society intending to lay any claim to women's equal value as fellow humans? Nope.

The absolutely justified and excellent statements https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/113699840615807849 by the journalist Öznur Değer are now being investigated as the crime "insulting a state employee", the dictatorship-decree appointed Governor announced.

The Mesopotamian Women Journalists Association commented that "We are against a system which gives gender-based offenses impunity and we will not accept such punishment of journalists. We are with our colleagues".

"Trump Media files to trademark investment products targeting bitcoin, US industries
[...]

https://www.reuters.com/technology/trump-media-files-trademark-investment-products-targeting-bitcoin-us-industries-2025-02-06/

Sooo what?
Well, I'm just amazed that considering the listed entities' names... the Internet-domain "Truth.Fi" is not in use, but "is available for purchase", seemingly from one of those domainsquatter scum.
Unless there's some error in the reporting, it seems extremely incompetent to launch whatever that stuff is which they are trying to trademark with "Truth.Fi" in its name before even having registered the domain.

The Greenlanders' public opinion, before all of this, was for independence from colonialism remnant structures with Denmark, but instead of that they now get explicitly against their stated will...

One man, Jacob Nordstrøm, was quoted in the Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq as saying his 11-year-old son had come home with a $100 bill. He told Sermitsiaq, which described those handing out the money as Canadian-American influencers: “It’s really borderline shocking to find out that my 11-year-old son has received money from an adult he doesn’t know.”»

"Trump again demands to buy Greenland in ‘horrendous’ call with Danish PM", threatening aggression against the NATO-"ally" if it does not sell the Greenlanders, while according to most recent poll I heard reported they just want a fair independence instead of perpetuated colonialism and being sold as if they were cattle or furniture.

The price of raw coffee is the highest it has been in 50 years and expected to keep rising even more during this spring, reports the TT news agency, naming in particular dry years in Brazil and an expected even less harvest this year.

Sooo, again, if you like drinking your coffee, maybe get a whole bunch before the price increases even more, if you didn't when I recommended that the previous time. This is enjoying-life advice, not "investment advice".
In November I bought 12kg of my favorite coffee, so it should last me a while at least. ;-)

"Exciting news! Sometime in the next decade the world is on track to have more than 1.5 degrees of warming and also 5 trillionaires!

@zleap Yeah. I already drew MY line in September 2006, so I think my lines are different from theirs. ;-D
In that case, if they'd decide to take a reasonable stance and drop FB/Meta, there are https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-inauguration-billionaires-ceos-ambani-zuckerberg-bezos-attend-church-2025-01-20/ more to drop.
Unfortunately I just can't do it.
Because I already did.

@zleap Well, yes, of course I agree since I never got farther than their Terms of Service the week of initial launch before I decided "that's unacceptable" and then never ever intentionally clicked a link to there again.
Buuut, I think Zuck's got to do something more than abolish diversity, go to the inauguration and end moderation for it to be enough for a full break for them. The ending of moderation could result in an eventual EU-ban for hate-speech violations I suppose, but probably only after a process of over a year. Maybe. I don't know.
