@trans mega the day will come when you will be in our position and we will be the ones mocking your lack of comments

"If we brought back the Cope & Seethe section from the news bulletins we could really get our numbers up," I said, before accidentally thinking to myself "I wonder what Commentary magazine is up to."

Currently the talking classes of Denmark are winding themselves up over a moral panic about Swedish criminals being hired to commit violent crime.

Naturally, the subtext is that the Swedish criminals are non-white and Peter Hummelgaard, head of the succdem-controlled minister of Justice, has made remarks about how the Swedish criminals are being controlled by criminal masterminds operating out of "safe havens" in "the Greater Middle East".

Hummelgaard as well as several other officials and members of the country's rubber-stamp parliament has been performatively shocked over messages in closed Telegram groups, allegedly offering large amounts of money for doing crime in Denmark.

In response, the regime is now talking about banning Telegram and similar groups. Hummelgaard says to regime-loyal broadcaster TV2:

We need to break with the totally misguided belief that it is every man's 'fundamental right' to use encrypted messaging services that are being used to facilitate many forms of serious crime.

In many of the alleged instances the Swedish criminals are minors. This has prompted many reactionaries to demand a reduction of the age of criminal responsibility from it's current 15 but Hummelgaard sees "no great need" to do this "at the moment". Instead he thinks the problem can be solved with tougher sentencing and greater powers to the police.

French Polynesians revive traditional rāhui to protect fish — and livelihoods Hexbear Post

• In French Polynesia, fishing is of paramount importance. Many residents depend on fishing to feed their families and make a living.
• Confronted with a decline in fish stocks, communities across the country are reviving a traditional method of managing natural resources called rāhui.
• This bottom-up solution, managed by local communities with help from scientists and the government, although imperfect, appears to demonstrate some degree of effectiveness.
• The island of Tahiti currently counts 13 rāhuis, and more communities are establishing them as a way to fight poverty, sustain fishers’ incomes and regain their culture.

First Nation Gitanyow and feds hatch plan to save Kitwanga river sockeye salmon Hexbear Post

More than 50 years after the Gitanyow first raised concerns over the diminishing Kitwanga sockeye salmon population and halted harvest of the vulnerable species, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is building a hatchery to be operated by the nation.

The Gitanyow and DFO have been working on a rebuilding plan for 25 years and this week announced they will start construction in the fall, with hope that the hatchery will help increase numbers of the salmon that are a vital food source and cultural touchstone for the Gitanyow people. Funding for the project is coming from the ministry’s Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative, a five-year plan to support the rebuilding of salmon stocks.

Increasing the numbers of salmon is hugely important to the Gitanyow people, who hope to see the return of one their most culturally significant resources, says Mark Cleveland, head biologist and program director, who has worked with the Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs for the last 26 years.

I think you were looking for this

I don't think there's much there there beyond an ever-flexible lib narrative and squishy journalism. This is the pull-quote: "Throughout the war, U.S. officials have assessed that President Vladimir V. Putin is loath to expand the war beyond Ukraine’s borders."
