Just another chapter of this regime's incompetence, just like the airplane crashes in early 2025. Really sucks how people have been dying because of it since the very beginning. :(
“The pilot and co-pilot of an Air Canada Express regional jet have been killed after it collided with a fire truck while landing…
collision also caused serious injuries, with nine people in the hospital. It happened as a firefighting vehicle was responding to a separate incident…
In the moments before the crash, an air traffic controller could be heard on a radio transmission giving clearance to a vehicle to cross part of the runway, then trying to stop it.”
The Japanese title, "Poco a Pokémon", may originate from a combination of poco a poco (Spanish or Italian for "little by little") and Pokémon. Similarly, the name "Pokopia" used in other languages may originate from a combination of Pokémon, copy (in reference to Ditto) and utopia.
If that's true, couldn't they have called it Poko a Pokémon in Spanish? It's called Pokémon Pokopia in that localization like the rest. 🤔

To tilt Hungarian election, Russians proposed staging assassination attempt
### To aid Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a friend of Russia, in his election, operatives proposed "the Gamechanger" — a staged assassination attempt to stir supporters.

Unionized staff at ProPublica vote to strike | The NewsGuild - TNG-CWA
Unionized staff at one of the nation’s largest nonprofit newsrooms, ProPublica, have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. Workers have been bargaining for more than two years for a first contract.
The ProPublica Guild, a bargaining unit of The NewsGuild of New York, represents about 150 journalists, videographers, development professionals, copy editors and other workers. The Guild’s strike authorization vote concluded Thursday evening with 92% voting yes and 99% of the union participating in the vote.
Management at ProPublica – which touts its mission to produce investigative journalism with “moral force” – has consistently refused to agree to many provisions that are standard in contracts across the industry.
During more than two years of active bargaining, ProPublica management has:
Refused to agree to standard job security protections and seniority provisions in layoffs.
Rejected any restrictions on replacing jobs with AI.
Denied workers wage increases that keep up with the rising cost of living.
Workers at the nonprofit newsroom take action after management’s persistent refusal to agree to a fair contract that includes guardrails around the use of AI.
In the run-up to Hungary’s pivotal election in April, a unit of Russia’s foreign intelligence service last month began sounding the alarm over plummeting public support for Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose friendly ties to Moscow have long given the Kremlin a strategic foothold inside NATO and the European Union.
Officers from the intelligence service, or SVR, suggested that drastic action might be necessary — a strategy they called “the Gamechanger.” In an internal report for the SVR obtained and authenticated by a European intelligence service and reviewed by The Washington Post, the operatives proposed a way to “fundamentally alter the entire paradigm of the election campaign” — “the staging of an assassination attempt on Viktor Orban.”
This sounds oddly familiar.
The Russian measures to support Orban have included a Kremlin-backed social media campaign to amplify messaging that Orban is the only candidate who can protect Hungary’s sovereignty, according to European security officials familiar with the activities who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence findings.
Given the general competence of Russian troops... maybe they should give it a try with this fake assassination attempt?

Google is beginning to replace news headlines in its search results with ones that are AI-generated. After AI clickbait nonsense in its Google Discover news feed, it’s starting to mess with headlines in the “10 blue links” too.
