15 June 2025 - Dutch prosecutors have allegedly dismissed multiple criminal complaints involving Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters after surveillance footage from Amsterdam’s metro system—potentially key evidence—was discovered to have been deleted due to equipment replacement and short retention policies, according to NOS.

The OM confirmed it has dropped two separate investigations into violent incidents involving Maccabi supporters.

the fact that the Internet Archive got into bigger trouble for lending books they paid for than Facebook did for reproducing books they pirated tells you everything you need to know about copyright.

For anyone that didn't know Bob Vylan: Their music is about the racism that's alive and well in England and how the ruling class keep it that way, working class struggle, fighting to be who you are, against toxic masculinity, (and eating your veggies!)

On Saturday they wished for an end to a military that's engaging in ethnic cleansing. The government and press always itch to find the "crossed line" to silence all of the above.

Silence is violence.

Combating devices can be hard, especially with kids just old enough to use them.
Two small victories over here this week.

1) 10 asked to play with sidewalk chalk, 7 was excited to join in. They asked to bring one walkie talkie, left the other with us, and just went out to play till we used the walkie talkie to call them back in. It was a moment of old tech for the win.

2) The computer helped with this one, but I found some matchstick puzzles online and thought 7 would be into them. I don't think I've seen a box of matches go this far before. I would just read out the equation or put down the pattern and tell them how many matches they could move to solve it. Super old tech for this one.

It's so hard sometimes especially when tech makes these moments easier to fill.

Please share with me your low tech parenting wins.
