Ukraine hits key Russian military sites in Crimea, Krasnodar Krai, General Staff says in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz
[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 6 points 2 days ago

The news I post is as good as can be expected. AP, Reuters, Kyiv Independent are reputable news agencies. You need to look more at the source than the publisher. "Government officials says..." articles are factually 'true'. The official said that. Lies? Corroborating evidence? Critical thinking is your job as much as it is the reporter's.

The text of the Minerals Deal between Ukraine and USA in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

My understanding is that the US maintains control over the fund. As such, IMO, it is likely they plan to spend the money on US contractors helping to rebuild UA. At first glance this may seem mutually beneficial, but it still means the funds are getting pulled away from UA instead of being spent towards UA contractors doing the rebuilding.

I'm just guessing though. I'm keeping an eye out for any analysis articles published by a reputable news agency for clarity.

Luigi Mangione pleads with fans to stop sending him so many photos (www.independent.co.uk)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/26078693

Summary

Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has asked his supporters to limit the number of photos they send him to 5 at a time due to overwhelming volume and screening delays.

Charged with murder, he has pleaded not guilty. Mangione's case sparked debate about healthcare, with supporters sending fan mail and donations.

His legal defense fund has raised over $615,000. He expressed gratitude for the letters, acknowledging support across "political, racial, and even class divisions."

Mangione also faces federal and Pennsylvania charges. His attorney argues he's being treated differently, held in federal custody.

Not sure. If you're following the guidelines suggested in the article you'll want to avoid any plastic and look for paper/cellulose bags. It may say "Plastic-free" on the container.

The team found that cellulose tea bags work the best at adsorbing toxic metals from the water while cotton and nylon tea bags barely adsorbed any contaminants at all—and nylon bags also release contaminating microplastics to boot.

Tea type and the grind level also played a part in adsorbing toxic metals, with finely ground black tea leaves performing the best on that score.

But the most significant factor was steeping time: the longer the steeping time, the more toxic metals were adsorbed.
