The IRS said in a new court filing that clergy and houses of worship should be allowed to make political endorsements,
-- abandoning an 71-year-old tax policy that banned the mixing of religion and politics.

Nonprofits should be allowed to make political endorsements and not lose their tax exemption,
the IRS said in the court filing.
Religious congregations, the filing said, are like families and communication between them should not be deemed “participation” in a ca…

A green flieger style watch, on a hairy arm with the time shown as 9:57:55. Next to the watch is a pride armband. Below the arm you can see a persons leg and the wheel of a unicycle.

LongAnimation: Long Animation Generation with Dynamic Global-Local Memory
Animation colorization is a crucial part of real animation industry production. Long animation colorization has high labor costs. Therefore, automated long animation colorization based on the video generation model has significant research value. Existing studies are limited to short-term colorization. These studies adopt a local paradigm, fusing overlapping features to achieve smooth transitions between local segments. However, the local paradigm neglects global information, failing to maintai…

A picture children's book style showing an airplane high above the clouds (so high you can see earth's curvature) with a lot of people sitting inside of many skin colors. Only the pilots aren't discernible as humans. Title "My guidebook on return"

Toolbox for children in return - Publications Office of the EU
Addressing the return of unaccompanied minors or children within families is a delicate matter that demands a humane approach. This approach must not only respect fundamental rights but also prioritise the child's best interests. Additionally, clear and comprehensive information about the return procedures is essential for those involved, enabling them to prepare as effectively as possible. One of the primary objectives of Frontex is to assist MS throughout all stages of the return procedures. …

Switzerland currently has hazard warnings for
- heavy rain
- flash floods
- strong wind
- droughts
- forest fires
and *drumroll*
- avalanches
The only thing missing is an earthquake.
But it would probably feel to much like Iceland then 😄
