These kind of work makes me realize we need to do more to own our ‘newspapers’ by going more local and vernacular.
The traffic posted by African airlines rose 9.5 percent in December 2023, compared with the same month in 2022.
> “Despite political and economic challenges, 2023 saw air cargo markets regain ground lost in 2022 after the extraordinary Covid peak in 2021. Although full-year demand was shy of pre-Covid levels by 3.6 percent, the significant strengthening in the past quarter is a sign that markets are stabilising towards more normal demand patterns,”
A big one is when an advert is made to look and feel like organic content. The “Ad” flag (legally required) is in faint small font like someone forced them to have it there.
From the article, they seem to have figured out temperature control. So Mole people might be less agitated than a Vancouver wild-fire neighbor :)
The internet sees censorship as failure and routes around it. People treat censorship and surveillance as failure and tunnel around them.
And even if you ‘exit’ to the woods, you’ll be easy to note, just by your absence (When the majority of the population are present, it is easier to note who is absent).

Fuel prices will blow up, inflation always lurks behind fuel prices, social dislocation, and perhaps more authoritarian rules emerging around the world as they justify increased (in)security measures to ward off terrorism.
We are staring at a dark phase.
Horrible! The dam’s structures could not be maintained as required due to the extended political dysfunction in Libya. Just messy!
That sounds like something gamers will add to their “tourist destination”.

Do they charge by the minutes spent there + extras or is this a membership thing?
Their seniority allow(ed) them free passes on details or precision.
My grandma, having to call for help but doesn’t know who of the many kids are around: hey, hey human who was named
Translation takes away from it.
