Greece faces a media freedom crisis as a result of actions and failures by the Greek government, threatening democracy and the rule of law, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.

• The pervasive and deliberate constraints on journalism in Greece are creating an environment in which critical reporting is stifled, and self-censorship becomes the norm.
• Journalists face state surveillance, harassment, and intimidation by pro-government actors, and abusive lawsuits by politicians, all of which threaten democracy and the rule of law.
• The EU Commission and the EU as a whole need to monitor the situation carefully and ensure that genuine progress is made on media freedom in Greece and core democratic values are upheld.

Hafiz Abdul Rauf, a US-designated global terrorist, was seen conducting prayers in the presence of uniformed Pakistan Army personnel and members of the banned Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) of Hafiz Saeed on Wednesday (May 6). They attended the funeral of three persons killed in the military strikes by Indian armed forces on terror camps in Muridke.

He is also a UN designated terrorist, a member of Lashkar e Tayyaba, an organisation considered a terrorist group by the US, EU, Australia, Canada, Russia and the UN. The Markaz camp at Muridke was a hide-out for the World Trade Center bombers of 1993. It was also the training center of 26/11/2008 attacks in Mumbai, according to Ajmal Kasab, David Headley, a key conspirator, and Tahawuur Rana, who recently lost the case against his extradition in the US and was transferred from his jail in the US on India's extradition request.

A group of investors sued UnitedHealthcare Group on Wednesday, accusing the company of misleading them after the killing of its CEO, Brian Thompson.

The class action lawsuit — filed in the Southern District of New York — accuses the health insurance company of not initially adjusting their 2025 net earning outlook to factor in how Thompson’s killing would affect their operations.

…

The group, which is seeking unspecified damages, argued that the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing “the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve” its earnings goals.

In short:

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's defection to the Liberal Party has been criticised by some insiders as an attempt to assist the party's conservative wing.

But she says the Liberal Party needs strong people "more than ever" in the wake of its election loss.

What's next?

The Liberal Party is expected to meet at 10am on Tuesday in Canberra to elect a leader of the opposition and a deputy.

Arizona lawmakers have unanimously passed "Emily's Law," a bill named for 14-year-old Emily Pike that would create a turquoise alert system for missing Indigenous people.

I still remember the look on my dad's face after he learned I had gave the music teacher the middle finger.

I really like its format over Dolphin's, I find it much more intuitive. It shows the whole filetree from root and double clicking a folder just expands the it further. This is different than how Dolphin works, which only shows one folder at once like how Windows does in the main windows of File Explorer.

I think I might be autistic.

In Morovis, a town in the center of Puerto Rico’s main island, lies the Las Cabachuelas nature reserve, a green labyrinth of approximately 1,950 acres. This place — known for its numerous caves — holds pre-colonial stories, rock art and petroglyphs, plants studied by paleobotanists, unique Caribbean fauna, and many other stories of what life was like in Puerto Rico before Spanish colonization and subsequent industrialization.

These stories can be heard on one of the many tours offered by the Cabachuelas Project of the Cabachuelas Workers Cooperative, a community-based cooperative co-founded by Morovis residents in 2018 to protect and manage the land where the nature reserve is located. Today, the cooperative has positioned itself as an alternative and effective model that contributes to conserving the natural environment and the mountain area’s sustainable economic development.

Las Cabachuelas is an area of high ecological value, with a large number of trees that help sequester carbon dioxide and preserve the island’s biodiversity. Today, it serves as an ecotourism area that supports eight people employed by the Cabachuelas Project and the cooperative. These people also help residents and visitors of Puerto Rico learn about the natural and cultural heritage of the archipelago, thanks to their ecotours and various social development and service works.
