It may not be on the news radar in the English-speaking world, but the turbulence sweeping parts of Africa is the biggest challenge to French influence on the continent in 60 years.

Civilian governments backed by Paris have been toppled in military coups and Russia has wasted little time in taking advantage. The Wagner group was infamous for doing Russia's bidding across Africa, but now a new organisation loyal to Vladimir Putin is infiltrating the region's coup belt.

ABC News Australia - Norman Hermant reports.

Epic lost their case with Apple regarding Fortnite, yet now Epic are looking to make Fortnite available on iOS in EU. But from the article it seems an alternate "app marketplace" would still need Apple approval anyway. It will be interesting to see how all this is going to work.

Who is going to conduct the "investigation"?

Exactly. I think the bigger question here is whether hand-soap is sufficient to use as body wash? 🤔

Finally. It would have been nice to see these tactics denounced a decade or two ago, but better late than never, I guess. I'm glad to see it.

“That is what everybody on Earth will know,” he said. “We’ll be gone, and it’ll be gone because of an advertiser boycott.”

Oh no, not at all, dear ... everybody on Earth is perfectly aware that it is YOU who is killing the company. Twisting the narrative to feel better within yourself ain't gonna change the fact. Why would any advertiser worth a damn, want to be associated with Stormfront 2.0?

Yes. I got a package from Amazon US a week or so after this post and it had that written on it. I pulled it apart to investigate but the padding was not plastic bubbles like the ones in my OP photo. So it must be some sort of corn stuff that can be recycled, but unfortunately I've never had Australian Amazon packages in that recyclable padded packaging. We have a stiff cardboard bag that can be recycled but it's only single layer. My groceries did not even require padded packaging though!

Just visited a moment ago to check if I received my Place awards for placing FUCK SPEZ pixels. Couldn't access my profile page without turning off adblock. They just keep giving me more and more reasons not to return.

It's a heat/cold powered cycle ... once the temp regulates the same everywhere, there is no more cycle.
