  • Plenty of grafity all over Greece I’ve seen lately with phrases like “all IDF soldiers are murderers” and “Zionists not welcome” and “Israel is a terrorist state” etc. I and basically all Greeks agree with those. I suspect the butthurt reaction from the Israeli envoy will only increase sales of spray paint in Athens


  • I do believe that PASOK’s tone would be different if they were currently the ruling party, because they’d have more to lose, and that ND, the current ruling party, would be more critical of Israel to gain points. However, this guy seems genuine enough from what I read, and by that I mean ND aligned media scolded him heavily for what he said, so he must be doing something right to piss them off.


  • Let me give you some perspective here.

    First of all I wanna say I agree with the guy.

    He’s trying to run for leader of Greece’s PASOK party, projected to be second in polls right now.

    He is however not in the party currently running the government, which has been elected with the widest victory in recent decades. The ruling party stands firm on the side of Israel and will beg forgiveness for the mayor’s statement, strongly condemning it.

    The people, however, are with Gaza.

    So the Greek government is mostly pro-Israel, despite this guy making strong statements and his party backing him up, it’s mostly to posture against the current ruling party to gain in polls and for the mayor to gain more support in his bid to become the second party’s leader.











  • Video games with apparently sentient NPCs.

    Custom ARM SoCs from AMD and Nvidia for laptops, tablets and handheld consoles, running customized Linux to avoid Microsoft’s fees.

    YouTube switches to unskipable server-side ads injection directly into the original video stream, rendering adblockers ineffective. Others soon follow.

    Mainstream media starts releasing news in TikTok style videos where the bottom half of the screen plays random Minecraft / satisfying to watch slop.

    End to end encrypted communication is quietly outlawed following some terrorist attack, using national security fearmongering. You’ve got nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide.

    China inevitably invades Taiwan, TSMC burns their fabs down to protect their IP. Samsung and Intel fabs become the most cutting edge process nodes on next cycle, China catches up, profits go up all around.

    Google kills Search and now Gemini is their only search engine. Others soon follow.
