Nez, man tas Saules aptiekas tiktoka video nešķiet smieklīgs. Viņi izmanto integrāciju ar eVeselību, sanāk, ka paši nezina, kā sauc softu, kas šiem regulāri ir nokritis.
Īsāk sakot man tas bijušā veselības ministra Belēviča (ZZS) kantoris nekad nav paticis.

Reasonably convincing argument here from a psychologist. He says the aim of the social media ban is not to necessarily stop everyone under 16 using social media, but to remove the environment in which kids feel obliged to use it. Interesting angle.

Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU.
You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.

2️⃣5️⃣ of the 27 Commissioners have posted in the last week
2️⃣4️⃣ of the 27 generally post every week (Albuquerque has never been on X, Ribera is sporadic, McGrath has somehow stopped)
0️⃣ have stopped as a result of what Twitter has become since the Musk takeover

We know now that martial law was lifted in about six hours, but that night, none of us knew what we were in for. South Korea remains deeply divided, and politicians continue to politicize the incident for their own gain. But it’s the power of the people that will stay with me for a long time.

Today marks one year since the Dec. 3, 2024 martial law declaration that rocked South Korea and still reverberates today. What’s on my mind today is the grit of South Koreans who rushed to the National Assembly that night, in freezing weather, to demand a return to democratic government.
