It is a bit of a political football, isn’t it.
I think the interest comes from trying to frame transgenderism as a co-morbidity of other, often more severe, mental health issues.

- Comment on Ban of RT journalist proves Romanian election a ‘meme’ – Moscow 5 weeks ago:
They aren’t lying, though:
IRISH JOURNALIST and RT correspondent Chay Bowes has reportedly been arrested in Romania.
RT, formerly Russia Today, is reporting that Bowes had travelled to Romania ahead of its presidential election on Sunday.
The upcoming election is a rerun after November elections were cancelled amid allegations of Russian interference in favour of far-right candidate Calin Georgescu, who is barred from the new vote.
RT has reported that Bowes was “detained” in Bucharest after landing there to cover the election.
Speaking on RT, Afshin Rattansi said he understands that Bowes is “being released on his way to Istanbul”.

- Comment on How Spain powered back to life from unprecedented national blackout 5 weeks ago:
From a France24 article on the complexity of this:
The electrical grid is a backbone with complex branches consisting of thousands of interconnected components.
“The grid operators must carefully analyse massive amounts of real-time data like frequency shifts, line failures, generator statuses and protection system actions to trace the sequence of events without jumping to conclusions,” Pratheeksha Ramdas, senior new energies analyst at Rystad Energy, told AFP.
Outages are often caused by a sudden shutdown of a source of production like a power plant due to a technical fault or a fuel shortage supplying thermal power plants.
In recent years, natural disasters such as storms, earthquakes, forest fires, extreme heat or cold sometimes intensified by global warming have damaged infrastructure or created peaks of demand for heating or air conditioning.
Other possible causes include overloads on high-voltage power lines, which force excess electricity to move to other lines, and cyberattacks, which the Spanish and Portuguese governments have ruled out, but which are an increasingly mentioned threat as networks become more digitised.
In Spain on Monday evening, grid operator REE mentioned a “strong fluctuation in power flows, accompanied by a very significant loss of production”.
In Europe, the electrical frequency on the network is calibrated to a standard of 50 hertz (Hz).
A frequency below that level means not enough electricity is being produced to meet demand.
In contrast, a frequency above 50 Hz means that less electricity needs to be made.
Operators have to order power plants in real time to produce more or less electricity according to demand to keep a frequency of 50 Hz.
“Maintaining that frequency is a matter of balance,” said Michael Hogan, senior advisor at the Regulatory Assistance Project, an NGO.
If the frequency moves away from 50Hz, automated protection systems kick in to cut off parts of the grid to prevent damage to equipment in a domino effect.
“Once power stations begin to shut themselves down for protection the situation can quickly get out of control,” Hogan told AFP.
“But… it’s very rare for that to reach the state it did in Iberia yesterday (Monday).”
…
How Monday’s problem all started is difficult to determine.
“One of the factors that most likely contributed to the instability is the weak interconnection between the peninsula and the rest of the western European grid, which meant that there wasn’t much inertia in that part of the network to dampen the oscillations on the Spanish side of the interconnection,” said Hogan.
But that is likely only a contributory factor and not the root cause.
“It will probably be the failure of one or two major transmissions facilities, which then cascaded to other connected parts of the network,” said Hogan.
“But what would have caused that initial transmission failure remains to be learned.”

- Comment on Pakistan airspace ban could cost Air India $591m over 12 months 5 weeks ago:
The Tata Group-owned airline is in the midst of a multibillion-dollar turnaround after a period of government ownership, and growth is already constrained by jet delivery delays from Boeing and Airbus. It reported a net loss of $520m in fiscal 2023-2024, on sales of $4.6bn.
Lol the Tata Steel guys are really taking it on the chin the last few years eh.

- Comment on Sudan ‘horror knows no bounds’, says UN, as deaths in Darfur rise 5 weeks ago:
“The horror unfolding in Sudan knows no bounds,” said Volker Turk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, in a statement on the devastating impact of the two-year civil war published on Thursday, signalling that the death toll of 542 over the past three weeks was likely “much higher”.
Darfur in particular has been a key battleground in the brutal war that erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has left tens of thousands dead, uprooted more than 12 million and created what the UN describes as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
The RSF, which lost Khartoum last month, has in recent weeks mounted multiple attacks on el-Fasher and the nearby refugee camps of Zamzam and Abu Shouk, triggering an exodus of hundreds of thousands of people 60km (37 miles) across the desert to the town of Tawila.
Yeah I was aware that they lost Khartoum - they must be going wild in the countryside as a response.
