Drawing attention to this thread of comments of mine from a few days ago, as it goes deeper into apparent efforts from European nations to Trump-proof Ukraine, which is actually VERY important for European security.
It's nice seeing news articles pointing out Ukrainian funding & Russian appeasement isn't something Trump gets to dictate, but rather, a situation where Europe is trying to diplomatically push back against Trump to defend their legitimate security interests.

There is a long and storied history of whistles for protection. Ancient Egyptian guards used to place a blade of grass between the thumbs to alert other guards of issues that were transpiring. Later, shells were used to the same end. In China, acorns with holes drilled in them were used similarly.
As a dedicated instrument, whistles have been made of wood, bone, metal, and later, plastics. British bobbies have used whistles to communicate over distances since the 1880s. They are a commonly used tool for boatswains, crossing guards, and referees.
I wish I knew more about rape whistles, but they seem similar in functionality to hikers taking whistles with them in case of injury, as the sound carries much further than yelling, and is much less tiring.
As someone regularly stalked by a large creepy harasser, I am grateful for the whistle I was given for self-protection, even if the creeps who it was given to defend against resent the fuck out of it.

After discussing the possibility for several months, European nations are finally forming a unified barrier of insurance checks and enforcement around areas where Russia's shadow fleet operate... a very important development, as it either will deprive them from the ability to keep evading sanctions, or significantly increase the costs and risks of doing so.
Big ramifications. This could have a major impact on Russia's recent long term oil delivery deal with India, i.e.

Twelve European countries have agreed to jointly counter the shadow fleet used by Russia to export oil, bypassing the G7-imposed price cap. Ships will now be checked for valid insurance documents.

The head of the State Duma Committee on Financial Markets, Anatoly Aksakov, is urging the widespread adoption of food ration cards for the poor, who are judged not to have pensions large enough to support themselves, due to inflation.
As has been the norm lately, the central government wants to push the cost of ration cards on to both shopkeepers and local governments, as much as is possible.

The aim of this workshop is to schematize what we might call Walter Benjamin’s “theory of fascism.” The name “Walter Benjamin” may not necessarily call to mind an explicit theorization of fascism.

Anche se ricche di possibili approfondimenti e aperture, le riflessioni in ambito psicologico e pedagogico che ruotano intorno agli studi sul bambino nell’opera di Maurice Merleau-Ponty trovano in letteratura poco riconoscimento e valorizzazione. Raccolti principalmente nei corsi tenuti al Collège de France tra il 1949 e il 1952, queste indagini impegnano il filosofo e fenomenologo francese in un dialogo con il contesto scientifico dell’epoca. In linea con le riflessioni svolte, tra gli al…
