A #study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue found that hundreds of English-language websites, including #mainstream #news outlets, are #linking to articles from the pro-Kremlin #Pravda network. This network, identified by the French government, is flooding the internet with #disinformation, potentially influencing #searchengines and #LLMs. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/21/english-language-websites-link-pro-kremlin-russian-propaganda-pravda-network?eicker.news #tech #media #news

“A landmark within-patient study in Sweden found that ADHD medication was associated with a 41% reduction in criminal convictions in women and a 32% reduction in men. In the US, MarketScan insurance data demonstrated that adolescents and adults had a 31% lower risk of substance-related emergency events in women and a 35% lower risk in men during months on ADHD medication. Similarly, Chang and colleagues reported a 42% lower rate of motor vehicle crashes in women and a 38% lower rate in men in medicated months. This real-world benefit extends even further. A meta-analysis by Boland et al demonstrated protective effects similar to those found by Li and colleagues, showing 25% to 35% within-group improvement during the active treatment period and nearly 50% improvement between treated and never-treated groups across mood disorders, substance use disorders, accidents, crime, injuries, and educational outcomes.”

Alnabih’s study suggests using Gaza’s war rubble as a valuable resource in coastal protection and reconstruction. Rubble can help strengthen eroded shoreline areas, expand the coastal zone by reclaiming between 740 and 1,235 acres, and develop Gaza’s port and possibly even artificial islands for tourism and infrastructure.
On land, the rubble can be recycled into #eco-friendly construction materials such as pavement blocks, concrete and road base layers, turning destruction into a foundation for recovery and sustainable development.
Current proposals for #Gaza include establishing mobile debris-processing stations, developing labs to test recycled materials for safety, and preserving selected ruins as memorials and documentation spaces. In this way, Gaza’s rubble could one day serve not merely as a reminder of devastation but as the raw material of a renewed future born from its own ruins.
Ultimately, however, all these visions depend on ensuring international accountability for what has become the largest deliberate environmental destruction in modern history.
Rebuilding Gaza is not merely about restoring walls, it is about restoring life, dignity and sovereignty over a land that refuses to die beneath its own rubble.

Queer research participants wanted!
As part of my PhD #research, I’m conducting a qualitative #study on political self-perception among #queer individuals who work as #delivery #riders, #Uber drivers, etc.
If you identify as queer, speak English or German, and have experience working in any of the above, I’d love to hear your perspective!
You can sign up via this form: https://lnkd.in/e74U99P8, or send me an email (m.nymphius@rug.nl).
Anyone out there able to help Nadeen out at the last minute so she can pay her (and her sister’s) tuition to continue their studies? You would be gifting the world two new dentists for the low price of $2,000.
The last day for them to register is tomorrow.
Please share + donate if you can.
