You can summon a baguette out of thin air but it is always slightly stale. How do you use this ability for personal gain?

A new skate park in Baghdad is the safe space Iraqi youth have longed for

submitted by https://lemmy.sdf.org/u/StraponStratos

The capital inaugurated its first skate park this weekend at a ceremony attended by foreign diplomats, sports officials and young athletes, in what many hope will be the beginning of a drive to build more spaces for recreation and creative expression.

“I have been waiting for this moment for five years,” said Mohammed Al-Qadi, 19, one of the park’s first visitors on Saturday.

Zelenskyy says Russia attacking 'own civilians' in Kursk

submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of bombing a boarding school in the Russian-occupied town of Sudzha, Kursk region, killing at least four civilians.

He claimed Moscow was targeting “even their own civilians.”

However, Russian officials blamed Ukraine for the attack, saying the missile came from Ukrainian territory and calling it a “crime.”

Sudzha has been under Ukrainian control since Kyiv’s forces crossed into Kursk last August.

has anyone made a reminder bot for Lemmy?

submitted by https://lemmy.ca/u/kionite231

Greetings,

sometimes I want to read new comments on a particular post but I don’t want to check it every hour to see new comments. It would be nice if I can just say “!remind 5h” so that I get a reminder to checkout a specific post which would have new comments after 5 hour.

I am thinking about making it myself in Rust, but if there is already a bot here and I don’t know, please tell me.

A new government memo feels like it’s straight out of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’

submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave

Summary

The Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a memo prioritizing federal funding for communities with marriage and birth rates above the national average.

The directive, which applies to grants, loans, and contracts, also prioritizes projects benefiting families with young children.

A congressional aide criticized the policy, saying, “Considering fertility rates when prioritizing federal grants? We obviously have no idea what the full impact of that will be… It’s absolutely creepy. It’s a little ‘Chinese government.’”

The memo also blocks mask mandates and requires compliance with immigration enforcement.
