(1) In 2016, a dog fell into a reservoir in #Almaty and could not escape the steep concrete walls and strong current. A man tried to help but was unable to reach it on his own. Seeing this, several strangers stepped in and formed a human chain, reaching down into the rushing water and saving both the dog and the man...

Did Palantir say the quiet bit out loud?
Maybe not when clue's in the name that they're the bad guys trying to spy on everyone.
But still, erm, bold to set out their sinister megalomania in a 22-point manifesto.
They make the case for ditching Big Tech in favour of UK Digital Sovereignty for us tbh.

I’m happy to see this Django feature finished:
We replaced the blank choice label of a select form control with words, rather than only dashes.
Why?
Not every screen reader pronounces dashes, meaning that some configurations could not read the original blank choice text.
Plus, it’s always great to have more options to customize your forms!

#Israel is subjecting #Lebanon to the playbook that was tested on #Gaza
Including the murdering of #journalists.
»At first, rescue workers were able to get to Faraj, who was seriously wounded, and retrieve the bodies of two killed in the first airstrike. But they were fired on by Israeli forces so they were forced to halt attempts to reach Khalil, the ministry said.
Khalil remained under the rubble for hours before the Lebanese army, civil defense and the Lebanese Red Cross were able to get to the scene hours later. Khalil’s body was retrieved shortly before midnight, at least six hours after the strike. […]
Her death brings to nine the number of journalists killed in Lebanon so far this year.«
Rescue workers say a Lebanese journalist was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon. The daily Al-Akhbar newspaper says its reporter Amal Khalil was killed on Wednesday in the southern village of al-Tiri. Khalil had been covering the Israel-Hezbollah war, which resumed in early March, in the shadow of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran. Earlier on Wednesday, Reporters Without Borders had called on the international community to pressure the Israeli army to allow the rescue of Khalil and others who were in the house. However, rescuers say her body was only retrieved hours later from the rubble.
The Epstein files reveal that the notorious Alt-Right Neonazi troll Andrew Auernheimer aka 'weev', who co-ran among others the "Daily Stormer" website in 2016, was bankrolled by Palantir/Peter Thiel and Epstein himself:
@FloDaddelt @anghamrlkhalil @aral @Geri @simon_brooke @fabio
it's SO awful.
the US sent hateful, murderous biker gangs to Gaza to kill Palestinian children.
for real.
there are no words for this level of depravity.
We should be much, MUCH more concerned about the right-wing billionaire takeover of our news media!
The first headline is about the Texas Republican-led legislature initiating a rare, mid-decade redraw of congressional districts, aiming to increase their majority for the 2026 midterms. There was no referendum for citizens to weigh in.
The second is about a statewide referendum where citizens voted to permit Democrats to redistrict the state in response to what Republican states are doing.
