So... In a few hours time I'll be undergoing bypass surgery. As with all old farts, my odds are good, but not great.
Best case, I'll be out for a couple of months.
Me? I have only one mission: to get back to my wife and kids and tell them I love them again. And again.

Just read 'Scoop' by Evelyn Waugh. Every journalist should read it. It shows exactly how foreign events are covered. A comic novel from 1938 — yet nothing's changed. Much shorter and funnier than Chomsky/Herman's "Manufacturing Consent," and more to the point.

Intriguing politics: Kingdom of Tonga has put out a Cyclone Urmil alert for its southern atolls of Teleki Tokelau & Teleki Tonga. Known as Minerva Reefs, they are beligerently claimed by Fiji - but Fiji cyclone warning doesnt even mention them

"The letter that proved once and for all that Cantor’s famous 1874 paper, the one that would go on to reshape all of mathematics, had been an act of plagiarism."

Reminder: scrappy investigative journalists are a force to be reckoned with.
The Greek spyware case began with reporters that refused to just be spyware victims & didn't let the issue go...
You can trace a line from their work to today's #Intellexa spyware verdicts.
Μια αναμνηστική φωτογραφία, για μια ιστορική ημέρα.
Ο δημοσιογράφος @nasoskook (το πρώτο κοινό θύμα #ΕΥΠ - #Predator), μαζί με τους συναδέλφους μας από το @insidestory_gr, τον @telloglou και την @e_triantafillou, και τους ρεπόρτερ του #ReportersUnited, @boublis και @Chondrogiannos.
Πριν τέσσερα χρόνια, στις αρχές Ιανουαρίου του 2022, τα δύο μικρά μέσα, ανεξάρτητα το ένα από το άλλο, ξεκίνησαν τις αποκαλύψεις για την υπόθεση των υποκλοπών. Για οκτώ ολόκληρους μήνες, μέχρι τον Αύγουστο του 2022 και την αποκάλυψη της στοχοποίησης #Ανδρουλάκη από #ΕΥΠ - #Predator, ήταν ουσιαστικά οι μόνες δημοσιογραφικές ομάδες (μαζί με την @EFSYNTAKTON) που έγραφαν για το σκάνδαλο, σε ένα περιβάλλον απόλυτης σιωπής και συγκάλυψης.
Σήμερα, εκτός από τη δικαιοσύνη, δικαιώθηκε και η δημοσιογραφία.
Το ρεπορτάζ συνεχίζεται.

BREAKING: spyware spyware execs found guilty, get 8 year prison sentence.
Massive blow for #Intellexa.
Comes after over 90 🇬🇷Greek journalists, politicians & officials found illegally targeted with #Predator spyware.
Here's why this verdict matters 1/
This isn't a defence of Tkachuk, but he feels the same unconditional allegiance to the Sens that he feels to USA/Trump. Yes, it's illogical. Sens fans may feel differently.
That said, a straight 1:1 trade with FLA for Bennet or Reinhardt would do both teams a service.

In a major blow to French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, the French Socialist Party announces that it will not vote in favour of the government’s proposed constitutional reforms, that aim to create a new political statute for New Caledonia. THREAD

This story is insane. The Chinese government is threatening the families back home of migrant food delivery drivers in Australia who want to go on strike over exploitative algorithm-driven work conditions.
I can't think of a better story that sums up our new era of global mafia state capitalism.
Story: Sydney riders for delivery service HungryPanda, who have been considering protesting or refusing to work, say police in China have been making threats and putting pressure on their families back home
