@cyrilpedia @radicalfaery yep, that the issue. Deaths are sad. Preventable deaths far worse than that.
"Even then it wasn’t until well after de Gaulle’s death in 1970 that the story of the French Jews began to be told fully, not least the fact that the Vichy regime had introduced antisemitic measures without German pressure and that Jews had been rounded up by French policemen serving French officials"

"Under an immigration law passed in 1996, asylum seekers must wait 180 days before even applying for a work permit. In practice, the law has forced immigrants to scrounge for off-the-books jobs as food delivery workers or restaurant dishwashers or else live off meager government and charitable assistance."

The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that an elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year, accounted for 16% of all CO2 emissions in 2019 – enough to cause more than a million excess deaths due to heat, according to the report from Oxfam.

Elon Musk has landed in Israel, where he is due to meet Netanyahu. They will have to pretend to talk about a lot of things they have no real concept of, like human rights, morality, justice, free speech, and antisemitism.

Just when I'd finally found good kimchi in Lisbon!!
"The antibiotic resistome was further illustrated in traditionally fermented food samples, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria were isolated from approximately 90% of the retail kimchi and all artisan cheeses assessed in this pilot screening."

“Na escola, tinham-me ensinado que na Revolução não tinha sido disparado nenhum tiro, até que em Novembro de 2021 li o livro Esquecidos em Abril, os Mortos da Revolução (sem) Sangue, do jornalista Fábio Monteiro, que relata a história dos que morreram”, diz, ao PÚBLICO, o realizador. Não foi apenas junto à sede da PIDE que houve tiroteio.'
