Was war '87?

An Indian archaeologist, whose career was marked by brilliance and controversy, made one of the world's greatest historical discoveries. Yet he remains largely forgotten today.

In the early 1900s, Rakhaldas Banerjee (also spelled Banerji) unearthed Mohenjo-daro - meaning "mound of the dead men" in the Sindhi language - in present-day Pakistan. It was the largest city of the thriving Indus Valley (Harappan) Civilisation, which stretched from north-east Afghanistan to north-west India during the Bronze Age.

But while his discovery of Mohenjo-daro was ground-breaking, Banerjee's legacy is clouded by disputes. His independent streak and defiance of colonial protocols often landed him in trouble - tainting his reputation and perhaps even erasing parts of his contribution from global memory.

Sign here to support the EU's "STOP destroying videogames"

This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.

Specifically, the initiative seeks to prevent the remote disabling of videogames by the publishers, before providing reasonable means to continue functioning of said videogames without the involvement from the side of the publisher.

The initiative does not seek to acquire ownership of said videogames, associated intellectual rights or monetization rights, neither does it expect the publisher to provide resources for the said videogame once they discontinue it while leaving it in a reasonably functional (playable) state.

CDU und CSU wollen die Gastro-Steuer wieder senken. Was nach Rabatt auf Schnitzel, Pizza und Pasta klingt, ist in Wahrheit: richtig teurer Irrsinn.

Maryland senator Chris Van Hollen revealed that Kilmar Ábrego García had been moved from El Salvador’s notorious Cecot prison – where he was sharing a cell with 25 other inmates – to a detention center with better conditions.

Van Hollen met with Ábrego García, whom the Trump administration admits it mistakenly deported, and said that he had been left “traumatized” after facing threats in the Cecot facility.

Person A: Voting deadline is midnight, last call! Person B: @Person C, you are last call. Person A: I was trying to be passive aggressive, B, not rude.

I hope this doesn't come across as bragging, but I'm really looking forward to my expanded roster of warframes 😄

Admittedly I didn't farm them myself, I just bought the blueprints from the market. Saryn I randomly got this week from the circuit as only warframe I didn't have yet. But my Helminth will finally get something to munch on at least.

De zaak van Sendric S., die in Rotterdam drie willekeurige mensen doodschoot, laat zien welke mogelijkheden de politie heeft om iemand zo snel mogelijk op te sporen.
