1/ A Russian regiment's chief medical officer was reportedly doused in gasoline and set on fire, likely by order of his commanders, after he allowed injured men to go to hospital. The killing is said to have happened after his unit lost a large number of men in an offensive. ⬇️

There's been confusion over whether survivors of mother and baby homes could face hiked rents after redress payouts. Survivors have started to say that they wish they'd never applied for their redress, says Social Democrats Councillor Noelle Brown. “Which is appalling.”

This. Also: Our current industrial presence in space (in the ISS) is about the size of a microwave oven. Leaving aside the Three Laws (and we know how well THAT goes!), it'd take DECADES to develop the needed infrastructure. These guys are delusional. Just saying "SPACE!" doesn't make magic happen.😂
These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."
It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.
