"Mexico’s Ministry of Defence announced in a press release on Wednesday that the incident took place near the town of Huixtla in the southern state of Chiapas the evening before, on October 1.
"In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, 'military personnel identified 33 migrants of Egyptian, Nepalese, Cuban, Indian, Pakistani and Arab nationality, of whom 4 had died, 12 injured and 17 unharmed', according to the press release.
"It added that two more people died after being transported to a local hospital."
Zack WhittakerIt's true that VPNs can still be helpful in a handful of situations, like avoiding content streaming geoblocks, and remotely accessing another computer located elsewhere.
Even then, the best VPN is one that you've set up and control yourself. TechCrunch's @romaindillet has written a how-to guide on setting up your own encrypted VPN server in 15 minutes. It's really easy to get started!

BicycleBenShocking, powerful stuff from Chris Boardman and Active Travel England.
A study of over 100 cycle schemes has revealed that old-fashioned schemes (i.e. just painting the road) will 'kill 10% more people than doing nothing and you get no uptake because it doesn't make people feel safe', whereas a scheme designed to modern standards will get 'between 20-60% increase in uptake and halve the number of deaths.'
Gemma 👽1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.
So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.
10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.
She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!"

On Wednesday, Israeli forces launched a large-scale military operation in the occupied West Bank.For days, they've carried out drone strikes and hundreds of troops have stormed cities and refugee camps.
Israel insists it's targeting fighters, but Palestinians say it's attacking homes and civilian infrastructure.
The escalation is raising fears that the war on Gaza is spreading into other Palestinian territories.

Sini TuuliaI have just read this sentence: "Usually I pick up Starbucks for my morning coffee because it's closer than my local coffee shop and I don't have to put on real clothes to drive through it..."
And I'm just. Staring into the distance in European. You DRIVE to get COFFEE before putting on your CLOTHES? You can't be bothered to put on clothes because you haven't had your morning coffee but you will DRIVE to a fully another location that isn't YOUR FUCKING HOUSE to get it??? You will operate. The machinery! On the roads, that you share with other people! To drive to a location?? When you could just make it at home??
I try not to judge but, dear reader, I am fucking judging 😶
Brian JopekTrump uses “Marxist,” “communist,” and “socialist” interchangeably, and when he and his allies accuse Democrats of being one of those things, they are not talking about an economic system in which the people, represented by the government, take control of the means of production. They are using a peculiarly American adaptation of the term “socialist.” - Heather Cox Richardson
