EU preparas donacon por pesticidaj gigantoj, kaj koŝmaron por la ceteraj el ni. Nova propono povus lasi toksajn insekticidojn, inkluzive de glifosato, resti sur la merkato por ĉiam. Ne, ne estos sekurecaj provoj. Jes, tio estas reala. Aliĝu al miloj batalantaj por ĉesigi ĉi tiun danĝeran planon.

The Horizon IT system directly led to more than 900 wrongful prosecutions of sub-postmasters. Some committed suicide.

“Under no circumstances must you put butter on your hamster as this would be detrimental to your hamster’s well-being. If in any doubt about sitting problems you should consult a small animal vet.”
But it's nice to know that Google care about small animals (and small vets?).
