Teach sex education early and you basically prevent teenage pregnancy.
Nice that they included a short nod to Beate Uhse. Younger generations probably will no longer get the reference
The Ukrainian parliament has been studying a bill since last week that threatens to shut Telegram down.Â
The measure, which has proven very unpopular but has garnered the support of deputies from four political groups in the Rada â 72% of Ukrainians use Telegram as their main source of information, a study found last year.
Ukrainian citizens can currently consult Telegram without limits, as opposed to surfing the internet or following news outlets regulated by Kievâs media law.Â
PS. #France has quietly pushed blocking of telegram channels, the same in #Sweden and #Germany. But the app itself is still not banned here.

"Today the German pro-Zionist (âantideutschâ) club ://about blank denied entry to at least three Jewish activists. @about.blank.berlin had announced a panel discussion on antisemitism featuring no Jewish speakers (it seems like they found one Jewish speaker at the last minute). They were worried that Jews in the audience might disrupt their discussion, so they wouldnât let them in.
Yes, can confirm. Every year reminds you.
Schleswig-Holstein, Germanyâs most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions.
The announcement (in German) was made yesterday by the stateâs Minister-President Daniel Gunther, who has served in that position since 2017. According to a translated version of the announcement, independence was a key motivation for switching to open source software.
This is unlike the reasons that were given by Munich and Lower Saxony which were stayed to be cost savings, and then Microsoft discounted their services. Back when LiMux started, it was mostly seen as a way to save money. Now the focus is far more on data protection, privacy and security. Consider that the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) recently found that the European Commissionâs use of Microsoft 365 breaches data protection law for EU institutions and bodies.â

7 days have passed, Israel not only ignored the ruling, it has escalated their war crimes in both #Gaza and occupied West Bank.
They haven't allowed humanitarian aid, but murdered western volunteers feeding the starving palestinians.
#US hasn't pushed for ceasefire and release of the hostages, instead they have given billions of dollars worth of 2000 pound bombs and F-35 fighter jets to Israel.
#Canada hasn't stopped selling weapons to Israel despite them laying about it and ignoring the parliament ruling.
UK simply don't give a shit.
Neither does #France, #Germany, #Sweden, #Italy, #Denmark and other "civilized European" nations.

This time the judges in The Hague will be listening to arguments in the case brought by Nicaragua against #Germany.
The Central American nation accuses #Berlin of violating its obligations under the 1948 #Genocide Convention and other âintransgressible principles of international humanitarian law,â including the Fourth Geneva Convention
#Nicaragua argues that âeach and everyâ party to the Genocide Convention has a duty âto do everything possible to prevent the commission of genocideâ and that since October 2023 there has been âa recognized risk of genocide against the Palestinian people, directed first of all against the population of the #Gaza Strip.â
By sending vast quantities of military equipment to Israel and defunding #UNRWA, the #UN agency that provides essential humanitarian support to the population of Gaza, Nicaragua charges that âGermany is facilitating the commission of genocide and, in any case has failed in its obligation to do everything possible to prevent the commission of genocide.â

MBDA, the manufacturer of Taurus missiles, insists on speeding up the German government's decision-making on production orders.
The Taurus missiles will no longer be produced, as the defence industry is not allowed to produce stockpiles without orders.
"It is a challenge for our industry when production is interrupted, as in the case of Taurus. In such cases, our suppliers, who are often small and medium-sized companies, stop production," Gottschild said.
With new orders, suppliers will first have to reorient themselves and secure raw materials, for example
The arms industry needs a base load of production,
"This is enough to make it worthwhile to maintain supply chains, keep test equipment up to date and maintain the competence of employees," he added

On 25 March 2024, our account with the Berliner Sparkasse was frozen with immediate effect. In a letter, the Sparkasse informed us that it had taken this step as a precautionary measure and that we should submit numerous internal documents by 5 April to update our customer data. As a public corporation, the bank is bound by public law and may therefore not arbitrarily freeze accounts without providing an explanation, which it did not. It is also highly unusual that the required documents include a list of our members with their full names and addresses.
Why should this information be important to the Berliner Sparkasse? It sounds more like a question that might be asked by an intelligence service or the police, who have been politically persecuting us as a Jewish organisation for some time. Our previous account with the Bank for Social Economy was closed in 2019 because of our support for BDS. This happened after agitation by Israeli journalist Benjamin Weinthal and pressure from the Central Council of Jews in Germany.
This pressure and political persecution are increasing as Israel and its apartheid policies in the state of Israel and the West Bank, and now its genocidal policies in the Gaza Strip, lose support around the world. Germany is one of Israel"s last loyal allies, and the German state is co-operating with Israel"s apartheid and genocide, even though over 80% of the population does not support the German government"s policy.
The Palestine Congress will take place in Berlin in mid-April and will feature a wide range of international speakers, including the former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis. The closer the congress gets, the more intense the persecution becomes; for weeks, there has been shrill defamation from the tabloid media and local politicians, such as describing it as a "hate summit" for which "thousands of anti-Semites" will be coming to Berlin. Because the journalists can"t write anything factual about it, they try to delegitimise the congress through guilt by association.
However, because the organisers are independent of politics, the usual methods such as cancellation or denial of spaces do not work. The congress is financed by ticket sales and donations; we, the Jewish Voice, have made our account available for this purpose â which is why it has now been blocked. We will not be intimidated by this, even if we lose our account: Our position on genocide is derived from our Jewish values and is not dependent on financial resources. Our membership grows with every day and every act of repression. Anyone who is a member of our organisation knows it themselves. It is none of any bank"s business. We are taking legal action against the arbitrary, politically motivated freezing of our account, which is unacceptable in a democracy.

"Now, for those who are getting over-excited about prospects of a nuclear war once NATO "official" forces get their asses kicked, which is a probability approaching one (100%), the US will not get involved--in fact, the United States desires nothing more than seeing a lovely #war in #Europe, while staying behind Atlantic "ocean wall". Of course, US troops in Europe will be annihilated if it escalates, but by now it is just the matter of speculation. At this stage I am getting sick and tired of European excuses about "we didn't elect" #Macron , #Scholtz , #Meloni et al. Enough, you did elect them, unlike 2020 elections in the US, Macron's victory over Le Pen was a landslide--you cannot fake such a massive gap in #elections . Germans tolerated insidious economic and cultural suicide by Merkel regime, which is also responsible for wrecking much of the European economy, as long as #Germany lived relatively well--this time is over. There is always a hell to pay for our sins on a global, as opposed to personal, scale. This revelation:
âNothing terrifies a sitting American president more than a surge in pump prices during an election year,â former White House energy adviser Bob McNally told the FT."

A total of 451 MEPs voted in favour of the resolution to send the missiles, 46 voted against and 49 abstained, Bild reported. On 14 March, the Bundestag did not support the delivery of missiles to the AFU, the publication notes.
Scholz continues to oppose the delivery of Taurus missiles to Ukraine. As a result, Berlin has been accused of "failing to live up to the expectations of its allies through excessive fearfulness and a loss of strategic vision," The Times reported earlier.
