Millions join Spain’s first general strike in 14 years in protest at housing costs (www.theguardian.com)
 

...properties have been increasingly used as tourist lets, speculative assets and short-term rentals, sending rents rising by 80% within a decade while the cost of homes climbed by 63%.

“It’s extremely important to remind people that we, the workers – who are also renters or who also pay mortgages – are the ones with the power to halt production and bring the economy to a standstill.”

Guard scolds Hegseth, advisers for laughing at Tomb of Unknown Soldier (www.usatoday.com)
 

WASHINGTON – A U.S. Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier scolded Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and his senior advisers for not being respectful after some members in the group laughed while posing for pictures in front of the memorial.

"All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all time," the sentinel yelled, prompting Hegseth and other members of the group to turn around as they were walking away from the memorial. The incident, which was captured by television cameras, took place after a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

In addition to Hegseth, the group admonished by the sentinel included his chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver, senior adviser Tami Radabaugh and Hegseth's wife, Jennifer Hegseth. It was not clear which members of the group were laughing.

How the Government Poisoned People During Prohibition (www.historynewsnetwork.org)
 

By mid-1927, the new denaturing formulas included some notable poisons—kerosene and brucine (a plant alkaloid closely related to strychnine), gasoline, benzene, cadmium, iodine, zinc, mercury salts, nicotine, ether, formaldehyde, chloroform, camphor, carbolic acid, quinine, and acetone. The Treasury Department also demanded more methyl alcohol be added—up to 10 percent of total product. It was the last that proved most deadly.

Israeli courts have rejected two petitions seeking the release of 14 Palestinian doctors from the Gaza Strip, the rights group Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) says.

Fedia defeds .ml? That's awesome LMAO

But federation generally doesn't affect links like image links since they're direct URLs instead of federation.

But I also don't know fedia's platform all that well so maybe it does on fedia lol

    They'd need to entice me with an autistic girl who loves trains as much as I do, and I'm already married to one so they're too late anyway.

    You FOOL they've already got their hooks into you, they played the long game lmao

    Chinese sources posted by an apparent sock puppet that is permanently cross-posting from ml communities.

    Lol I'm probably one of the most anti-.ml users around, I crosspost to reduce the activity on .ml comms. And I am constantly filtering out their propaganda crap. If one slips by, you can be rest assured there were like 5 other posts that I skipped over because it was from RT or some proChina/Russia genocide denying meme or some shit

    That being said I have found electrek.co articles to be...ok, but I'll for sure scrutinize this outlet more

    Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

    I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

    This was crossposted, it's available in the crosspost menu of your respective client. For boost it shows here
