I don’t doubt it, it worked the first time for me, but for whatever reason when I went back a second time and tapped on the video for it to run, instead it would send me to the news account that asked if they could use it for broadcast. Tried multiple times, and I was definitely tapping on the video and not anywhere else. Just really strange. Has to be a glitch.
As Germany struggles with labour shortages in many sectors, local business leaders regularly express concern that the rise of the AfD may be harming eastern Germany’s economic prospects.
You say “labour shortages” but I hear “salary shortages”. Oh well!

An unnamed source from the WBF said that Mr Wozniak fainted on Wednesday afternoon at the event, according to the CNN news website. Better known in the tech world as Woz, Mr Wozniak is a Silicon Valley veteran who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs in 1976 and invented the first Apple computer. The computing pioneer signed a letter in March alongside Elon Musk calling for a pause in the development of the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) models. He called for the regulation of AI when he spoke to the BBC in May 2023, fearing the technology would be harnessed by “bad actors”. But he sounded a note of scepticism that regulators would get it right: “I think the forces that drive for money usually win out, which is sort of sad.” — Saved 36% of original text.
Maybe they’ll finally realize why their predecessors imposed term limits on themselves. Public memory is always kinder to politicians that freely give away their power - even in cases where they used it with an iron fist while it was theirs.
It seems disingenuous to analyze the locations without checking how many airstrikes were performed in the regions they highlighted to evacuate.
The highlighted regions are basically marked for destruction because there is a large amount of ordnance located in storage facilities, or the IDF has identified them as having many entrances to tunnel complexes. In many cases, every other house in those areas marked for evacuation has been demolished.
There have been 8000 some fatalities thus far, and it’s only thanks to telling people to evacuate that there haven’t been 80,000.
Air Canada is garbage, and Toronto Pearson is as well. My spouse flew into Toronto last summer with a school trip and they had to wait 11+ hours because the airport had a power surge that apparently took out their capability to charge the plane or some nonsense they told them. Numerous kids having to sleep on the floor and then they got split up across other flights when things finally got fixed.
An airport, that doesn’t have power surge protection and other contingencies in place for such events, when their sole job is to keep planes and passengers moving. Maddening.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has, for the first time, published rules of engagement for civilian hackers involved in conflicts.
The eight rules include bans on attacks on hospitals, hacking tools that spread uncontrollably and threats that engender terror among civilians.
It is also warning hackers their actions can endanger lives, including their own if deemed to make them a legitimate military target.
But the worrying trend, accelerated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, is now spreading globally, ICRC legal adviser Dr Tilman Rodenhäuser says.
“However, some of the groups we’re seeing on both sides are large and these ‘armies’ have disrupted… banks, companies, pharmacies, hospitals, railway networks and civilian government services.”
The IT Army of Ukraine, which has 160,000 members on its Telegram channel, also targets public services such as railway systems and banks.

I’ve always thought Harry Potter is one of the best cast movies of all time. Michael Gambon had massive shoes to fill with Dumbledore with everyone already having 2 movies under them and him needing to rise to the occasion, and he did. Sad day for sure, those movies had a permanent impact on me.
I generally respect Michael Gambon and am sad to hear of his passing, but personally I thought he was a horrible Dumbledore in comparison to Harris. His general manner was a stark contrast in Prisoner of Azkaban, and his treatment of Harry in Goblet of Fire was very unDumbledore IMO, and whatever might have been excused regarding differences in style was somewhat destroyed when he said he'd never even read the books in prep for the role.
By the final movies I found him passable, and I will go to my grave believing it's because he didn't understand the character well enough for the first couple, and by the end he did.
You don’t have to know the source material to absolutely kill a role though.
Source : I know next to nothing about acting but I saw Werner Herzog in “The Mandalorian” and he nailed that role despite allegedly not giving a shit about the universe and not watching a single movie or reading any of the books.
I mean that was more-or-less Werner Herzog's natural delivery, they just had him go in and read a buncha lines; somebody decided that Basically Werner Herzog was the right fit for that character and then they went out and got him to do it.
(I imagine this is how Stephen Tobolowsky gets many of his acting jobs too)
I agree, that's true. But when you are taking over in a role from another actor who was beloved in that role, even if you are determined to make it your own, and even if you are Michael Gambon, it seems rather careless and unprofessional not to familiarize yourself with that material.
I wouldn't discount Harris' innate advantages there too; he was 10 years older than Gambon, aged more poorly (having been an alcoholic hellraiser in his younger years), and his natural delivery - even when he was much younger - had that sort-of wizened wheezing sound to it; "old and physically frail but with incredible magic power" was sort of baked in even before he added any actual acting to the mix.
But I don't know if there's an alternative who would have been better in that regard; the three I'm aware of them talking about were Christopher Lee, Ian McKellen, and Peter O'Toole, but the latter two would have played him very much like Gambon did, and I'm not sure if Lee could have pulled off "frail" either given his voice + physical stature.
