Fuck!
People in Turkey's tourism industry already work long hours for six days at a stretch, now law has been changed so they may have to work 10 days before a day off, with no overtime. Unions say precarious employment, workplace accidents, and unregistered labor likely to increase further as a result.
Turkey enacts law allowing 10 consecutive workdays for tourism workers bianet.org/haber/turkey...

Quick reminder: Le Pen wasn't found guilty because the French courts hate democracy. She was found guilty because she broke the fucking law.

US-grown food aid is stranded in ports worldwide despite waiver
It’s valued at nearly $500 million, and right now much of it is at risk of spoilage.

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

Nobody knows what's going to happen next.
Nobody knows what the repercussions will be.
But if you aren't unabashedly happy for the millions of Syrians whose lives just changed, there's something missing in your humanity.
