Есть такой крупный англоязычный видеоигровой форум ResetEra — около 10 миллионов ежемесячных посетителей. И на нём запретили любые упоминания и обсуждения игры Hogwarts Legacy — недавно вышедшего высокобюджетного проекта по вселенной Гарри Поттера. Хотя проект громкий, рекламируют его много, играть в него тоже будут наверняка очень многие, и на видеоигровом форуме это должно быть одно из топовых и самых интересных для аудитории обсуждений.
А запретили потому что, как вы помните, пару лет назад Роулинг высказала в Твиттере фразу, которую посчитали оскорбительной некоторые трансгендеры. И понёсся каток кансел-культуры — стало модно и репутационно-правильно в западном обществе высказываться против Роулинг, а Роулинг, в свою очередь, систематически продолжала высказывать свою позицию открыто против транс-людей. Что характерно: молодые актёры из фильмов о Гарри Поттере, которые, по сути, с этих фильмов стартовали свою карьеру и вне этих фильмов особых заслуг не имеют, высказывались резко и однозначно в сторону канселинга. А вот актёры постарше вели себя более сдержано, хотя они как раз Роулинг обязаны куда меньшим.
В общем, этим форумом рулят настолько отбитые леваки, что они под угрозой бана полностью запретили любые упоминания игры, потому что игра по вселенной Гарри Поттера, а его написала "трансфобка". А все посты, где пользователи попытаются обсудить это решение администрации, будут удаляться. Свобода слова!
Я не собирался покупать Hogwarts Legacy, но вот сейчас даже задумался, а не поддержать ли этот проект чисто из принципа.

News: Fuel shortages deepen in #Addis_Abeba, regional cities as drivers endure prolonged queues
Drivers in Addis Abeba and several regional cities report worsening fuel shortages, with prolonged queues and dwindling supplies deepening the strain caused by recent price hikes.
At present, beyond rising costs, fuel is reportedly becoming increasingly scarce in cities including #Mekelle, #Jimma, #Ambo and #Bahir_Dar. Drivers who spoke to Addis Standard described spending hours in queues at fuel stations, often with no guarantee of securing supply.
A public transport driver in Mekelle said the situation has deteriorated sharply. “Beyond the price hike, it feels like fuel is heading toward complete disappearance. We are buying a 20-litre jerrycan for 8,000 birr, and that too after waiting in line for more than five hours,” he said.

#In_Depth_Analysis: The #Hormuz Entanglement: Why #Ethiopia’s fuel crisis is a perfect storm of #war, #graft, and #reform
While the immediate catalyst appears to be the high-stakes military escalation between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, a deeper look reveals that Ethiopia’s fuel misery is a complex entanglement. It is a “perfect storm” where geopolitical vulnerability, a domestic system rotting from within, and a painful macroeconomic experiment have collided to leave 120 million people running on empty.
Until the govt can clean its own house, root out the “senior decision-makers” profiting from the black market, and navigate the treacherous waters of Middle Eastern diplomacy, the accounts emerging from #Gonder to #Jimma to #Ambo, and from #Hawassa to #Bishoftu and #Mekelle, point to an Ethiopia that will remain running on empty.
It will be a country “stalled at the intersection of a distant war it cannot control and a local crisis of governance it has yet to master”...
