Germany and other allies lift restrictions on Ukraine firing long-range missiles
Well, that's probably not correct. As far as the media in Germany has reported (following the leaked call between some high ranking military officers), the operation of (at least) the Taurus missiles is not possible without the direct involvement of the Germans. So, if the Bundeswehr is involved on the ground, there's a good chance that Russia will define Germany as a party to the war. This was probably also the reason why the former chancellor blocked the delivery of Taurus. -

All Vaccines Will Kill You - The evidence is overwhelming
I’ve compiled this check list to help identify anti-vax conspiracy theorists Spot the signs. Think critically. Choose facts, not fear. Note first that critical thinking tends to start with a question e.g - “what damage is caused by vaccines?” whereas a conspiracy theorist tends to start with a statement e.g “All Vaccines Will Kill You” and then looks around for “support” for that statement 1. "Do Your Own Research" – but know the difference between “search” and “research” ☐ Are they rejecting every expert source but trusting a random blog, YouTube video, or meme? ☐ Is “research” just Googling until they find something that confirms what they already believe? (Google is not a source, it’s a search engine) Real research involves peer review, not Reddit threads or "sealioning"! 2. Fake Experts, Real Confusion ☐ Are they quoting “doctors” with no relevant qualifications—or long-discredited figures? ☐ Is a chiropractor or lifestyle guru being treated like an immunologist? If you wouldn’t trust them to do surgery, maybe don’t trust them on virology. 3. Natural = Good, Science = Bad ☐ Is the post full of appeals to nature—like “your immune system is enough” or “chemicals are evil”? ☐ Do they ignore that diseases are natural too? Smallpox was natural. So were polio and the plague. 4. "I'm Just Asking Questions" ☐ Do they avoid making actual claims, but drop ominous-sounding questions like “Why are they pushing this so hard?” ☐ Is it just sowing doubt without offering facts? “Just asking” can be a shield for misinformation. 5. Cherry-Picked Stats & Misleading Charts ☐ Are they using scary-looking graphs or rare adverse cases with no context? ☐ Are large studies and safety data being ignored? If it sounds dramatic but skips the full picture, it’s probably not science. 6. Big Pharma = Evil Mastermind ☐ Is everything blamed on shadowy corporations and bought-out doctors? ☐ Is it assumed that all science is corrupt except the stuff that supports their view? Pharma isn’t perfect—but neither are essential oils from Instagram influencers. 7. Fear-Driven Language ☐ Is the tone emotional, alarmist, and filled with words like “toxic,” “deadly,” or “experimental”? ☐ Does it feel designed to scare first, explain never? If it’s more horror movie than medical advice, don’t panic—fact-check. Bottom Line: Anti-vax arguments often sound passionate—but passion isn’t proof. Believing something doesn’t make it true. Repeating it doesn’t make it safer. Science isn’t perfect, but it does evolve based on evidence—not fear. Stay curious. Stay skeptical. Skepticality is part of science and critical thinking – but make sure you actually know what critical thinking as and how to do it. This is my favourite introduction to critical thinking There are plenty of books, videos and courses that you can find online. And remember: vaccines don’t just protect you—they protect everyone. -

DUBLIN (Reuters) -Ireland's cabinet gave its formal backing on Tuesday to drafting legislation on restricting trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, but the bill is unlikely to be passed by parliament until later in the year. While Ireland does very little trade with the settlements, Prime Minister Micheal Martin said it was a "symbolic move" that follows its official recognition last year of a Palestinian state, alongside a small number of other European countries. The bill, which would ban the import of goods from the settlements but is unlikely to include services, will be considered by a parliamentary committee in the coming weeks, Foreign Minister Simon Harris said.
