If you follow defence news in Sub-Saharan Africa, @defenceweb.co.za is worth a follow. Their coverage of regional military developments & defence industries consistently impresses me, and there’s nobody else out there with the same breadth of coverage on Southern Africa.

More cities should do this.
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information.

Update. Follows seem to have been "reinstated" by the other app.
Tried this many times on the other app, and every time my follow was instantly removed.
Twitter has deleted the >200k followers of noted Palestinian journalist Younis Tirawi and hit him with one of those mysterious shadow bans that when you click "follow" on his account it doesn't actually stick, when you hit reload you're not following him
