https://www.wypr.org/2026-01-16/irans-supreme-leader-acknowledges-thousands-killed-as-pressure-builds-on-clerical-rule The Iranian supreme leader has admitted thousands of people were killed during the protests " Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has acknowledged that "thousands" of people have been killed — some of them in what he called an "inhuman, savage manner" — during weeks of unrest across the country. The rare public admission, which took place during a speech broadcast on state television, comes as international scrutiny of Iran's crackdown continues — and after Iranian officials had previously acknowledged significant casualties while blaming terrorists, foreign governments and intelligence agencies for fomenting unrest. But human rights groups say the scale of violence has been far greater than authorities have — until now — admitted publicly. The Norway-based organization Iran Human Rights estimates that more than 3,400 people have been killed nationwide since the protests began, while the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists in Iran group has also documented thousands of deaths and widespread arrests of demonstrators." And the global attention on the brutal crackdown is not going away Obviously Russia and China vetoed any UNSC resolution on Iran but its now been refered to the UN Human Rights Council, I am very interested to see how South Africa will vote because we currently a member https://unwatch.org/after-security-council-meeting-balks-on-iran-30-ngos-demand-unhrc-urgent-session/ "After yesterday’s Security Council meeting on Iran yesterday failed to produce any outcome resolution, a cross-regional coalition of 30 non-governmental organizations and human rights groups today sent an urgent appeal to 100 UN ambassadors in Geneva calling for an emergency session of the UN Human Rights Council to address what they describe as the “horrific mass killings” of protesters by the Islamic Republic of Iran. “Due to the veto power of China and Russia, the Security Council is blocked from taking action on Iran, but we know from past experience that if EU states take the lead at the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council — where there is no veto — they can adopt a strong condemnation of the Iranian regime’s massacre of protesters, and establish mechanisms of investigation, accountability and justice,” said Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, an independent Geneva-based human rights group that plays a leading role in supporting Iranian dissidents. Signatories to today’s appeal come from Australia, Cameroon, Canada, France, Gambia, Ghana, India, Japan, Latvia, Moldova, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United States. The coalition warned that Iran’s violent crackdown on nationwide protests that began on December 28 has resulted in grave, widespread, and systematic violations of international human rights law. Thousands of protesters have been killed by Iranian security forces in recent weeks, with many more injured, arbitrarily detained, tortured, or forcibly disappeared. Protesters have been shot with live ammunition, detainees denied access to lawyers and medical care, and journalists, students, women, and minority communities deliberately targeted. Internet shutdowns and information blackouts have further concealed the full scale of abuses."

I have a very similar game breaking bug, it would appear not to be fixed as of today's date.

Summary: Game breaking bug in the quest "An Equitable Arrangement." PS5 version. Basically, despite negotiating an alliance between Auntie's Choice and the Order of the Ascendant, when I complete the quest "A Complication with the Computronic Cerebrum," and report back to Ruth as part of the former quest, it railroads me into the quest "Agenda for Altered States" and makes me "kill on sight" with Auntie's Choice. Very frustrating for a 60 hour save. Long Explanation: I'm playing on PS5, the game has the most recent update. I successfully negotiated an alliance with Auntie's Choice and the Order of the Ascendant as part of An Equitable Arrangement, the objective "Handle the Negotiations." I fully gave the Order the Archive and rift tech, had them share the skip drive tech, and didn't talk Ruth Basar out of using the chemicals to interface with the Archive. Then, I headed to Spireton to and took it over for the Order as directed by Ruth. I also got Auntie Cleo her new robot body, the quest "The Mechanical Matriarch." After that, I entered the Archive and got that companion dialogue prompt that triggers right when you enter, but it was wrong, the companions basically stated I should get allies before I try to take the Archive. I ignored that and continued on. I activated the lift, brought the Order folks up from Spireton, restored the Archive and completed the optional objective "Repair Thermal Transfer." I gave U.N.I.A.C. the Actuational personality, and then handed over the Calcaduceus to Junior Seer Amaryllis, but her dialogue was wrong, she stated something like "you were supposed to get your reinforcements up from Spireton but it looks like you didn't need them anyway." The quest "A Complication with the Computronic Cerebrum" was then completed. Then, for An Equitable Arrangement, I got the objective "Return to Ruth," the full objective description being "Return to Ruth and give her the news that the Archive is back under Order control." So, I went and talked to her, and she was in her decorative outfit, in the office outside her deprivation chamber, but she had the animation as if she was in the chamber, and then her dialogue played like we were meeting for the first time ever. She then said something like "we have a report that a rogue agent restored the Archive, know anything about that?" Then, I am prompted to give her the Calcaduceus despite the fact that I already gave it to Amaryllis. Then, she railroads me into doing the quest "An Agenda for Altered States" despite the fact that Auntie Cleo already agreed to give her the chemicals during the negotiations. After completing her dialogue, my Auntie's Choice's reputation is set to "kill on sight" and An Equitable Arrangement (as well as every other uncompleted Auntie's Choice quest) is set to "botched" with the description "Auntie's Choice is hostile to you. They won't work with you any longer." I tried reloading a save and toying around with decisions. Specifically, I have tried for about 4 hours, three different reload attempts. Main thing I tried was taking Spireton back before even getting the objective to do so, which allows that part of the quest to be skipped, but Amaryllis still had that incorrect dialogue stating that I failed to call for the reinforcements in Spireton. However, my companion dialogue upon entering the Archive seemed to correctly account for the fact that I had indeed recruited allies to take the Archive. I'm unsure if Spireton has something to do with the main bug, but I feel like something is occuring here to make the game think I stormed the Archive on my own. Another side note, I'm not sure if this is important, but I had previously went into the restricted area of the Auntie's Choice Chemical Factory out of curiosity, and I was not detected. But as a result, the quest note "You infiltrated the Auntie's Choice Chemical Factory and located the chemical dispensary room" is already in the entries upon involuntarily receiving the quest. As you can imagine, this happening on a 60 something hour save file is quite frustrating.

Have you scanned the mushroom bricks?

Playing tainted grail. Got to the final act. Was enjoying myself. Read that the DLC can't be played after you beat the main quest. Decided to go back and play the DLC. Now I am really struggling to play the game. I should have known when it involved squid people. On the plus side, I think I know what bothers me the most about squid people. It's the human body. Animal races at least kind of make sense. They have legs. But squid people their tentacles become a mouth I guess? A beard? At the very least they should use their tentacle beard to hold stuff.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know ive been testing out the new update and its awesome. One bug I've come across though, ive been spending a lot of time exploring the pumpkin patch and figured Id try to grab the optical disk there. I repaired the 3 electrical boxes but when I tried to ping where abouts the optical disk is, theres nothing there. If you need pics, let me know.

Got all the burgl chips and purchased all I could from the science shop and I still have no option to build mushroom walls. I can make mushroom bricks but can't build with them.

Frieren... as beautiful as ever. It gives me this hard to explain warm and fuzzy feeling of seeing old friends, that I haven't seen in a long time. The little party is getting itself in motion again, heading towards the northern plateau. Nothing like seeing a familiar face again First challenge is being trapped in a cave of magic nullifying crystals, reducing the two mages to "ordinary girls" (followed by some hilarious conversation as Frieren has never forgiven Stark for calling her an old hag when they first met) This time however, he gets to to carry the party. Literally (screenshot is from the "landing" after the ground collapses beneath them and they plummet down into a large cave system) There is the mandatory fan service (nothing as hot and steamy as Ubels armpits this time) ...and of course flashbacks to Frierens travel with Himmel, Eisen and Heiter. Nothing says "we are a party!" like running away together from a black dragon Frieren... Frieren never changes (she is a messy sleeper)

It's like drugs and Maduro. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-denmark-european-tariffs-greenland-deal-rcna254551 "Trump also pointed to joint security exercises around Greenland between Denmark and other European allies, calling them a "very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet." "Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question," Trump wrote." So I guess these trade deals he made with UK are blown?

agreed. too little attention for this point. Buy Greenland? Take It? Why? An Old Pact Already Gives Trump a Free Hand. Analysts say the Cold War agreement allows the president to increase the American military presence almost at will. Under a little-known Cold War agreement, the United States already enjoys sweeping military access in Greenland. Right now, the United States has one base in a very remote corner of the island. But the agreement allows it to “construct, install, maintain, and operate” military bases across Greenland, “house personnel” and “control landings, takeoffs, anchorages, moorings, movements, and operation of ships, aircraft, and waterborne craft.” It was signed in 1951 by the United States and Denmark, which colonized Greenland more than 300 years ago and still controls some of its affairs. “The U.S. has such a free hand in Greenland that it can pretty much do what it wants,” said Mikkel Runge Olesen, a researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies in Copenhagen. “I have a very hard time seeing that the U.S. couldn’t get pretty much everything it wanted,” he said, adding, “if it just asked nicely.” ... The fear was that Nazis could use Greenland as a steppingstone to America. The Germans had already established small meteorological bases on the island’s east coast and relayed information for battles in Europe. American troops eventually ousted them and established more than a dozen bases there with thousands of troops, landing strips and other military facilities. After World War II, the United States continued to run some bases and a string of early warning radar sites. As the Cold War wound down, the United States closed all of them except one. It’s now called the Pittufik Space Base and helps track missiles crossing the North Pole. end at one time, the US had something like seventeen bases in greenland, although "bases" can be misleading as a few listening stations described as bases were likely a building or two manned by a handful o' people, but our understanding is that the people in greenland and denmark were, by and large, perfectly fine with the arrangement. no surprise as there isn't much meaningful industry in greenlandl, and the US presence meant there were business opportunities for greenlanders who is significant supported by government assistance programs. this is all so stoopid... unless you accept the equal ridiculous suggestion that the greenland nonsense is due to the fact greenland appears extreme large on flat maps, and trump wants to add the huge island to his real estate portfolio. longitude demarcations at the equator is +111 km apart and at the north pole they all converge and therefore is 0 km apart, so on many flat maps, greenland appears much larger than it is in reality. trump sees acquisition o' greenland as akin to the louisiana purchase or alaska, and he is convinced acquiring the property would be a major benefit to his personal brand. based on reporting from folks such as susan glasser, trump was just as obsessed with greenland in term 1, but the sane folks surrounding the President always managed to deflect his attention to something more meaningful, but there is far less sanity to be found in trump 2.0. this is all just so dumb, and yet republicans in Congress and the trump administration who know better has decided to unapologetic go all in on what should be a comical emperor's new clothes bit, but even Gromnir is having difficulty seeing the humor in this idiocy. HA! Good Fun!

Points of interest nt counting even though storyline is complete

I'm stuck at 45 points of interest cannot get any further even though story line is complete!

I have a similar problem, but the game does not crash, but hangs tightly (you can only delete the process in the task manager). And this is observed only on saves made before 0.3, there are no problems on the new game (at least for 1 hour the game never hung up). Upd. After crawling around the forum, I decided to test hypothesis about the number of save slots. I deleted all autosaves and left 5 pieces of the necessary main ones. After launching, the game still hung several times, and then it work fine. For at least the last 4 hours, there hasn't been a single hang.

Congress passes $24.4 billion NASA budget, rejecting Trump's deep cuts | Space

This. the US already had free hands to expand their military presence on Greenland. Two problems with that... one, it doesn't distract from the still unreleased Epstein files and two, doesn't make Mango Mussolini look like a proper conqueror.

You mean like what they do right now already?

No, especially because of all the other reality tv bullcrap being total shait as well. It's garbage and nobody should support it, ever.

so what greenland have right now clearly the point is not actually security of greenland usa hope another colonial acquisition will boost their reputation and support at home the fact resource greenland can not be exploited yet are not even a factor

I know this is a few months later, but if you try the current public beta, a number of these are already implemented!

this video were sent to us and am of the opinion it is worth watching... perhaps a couple times. however, keep in mind that just 'cause you got rights it don't mean that you should tell a cop to engage in improbable acts o' prurient self gratification as an alternative to you complying with their demands. HA! Good Fun!

As opposed to all of the good reality tv shows out there?

Unless DJT backs off, I think the one way this could work itself out diplomatically without damaging NATO is for the US and Denmark to agree on some sort of shared "Protected territory" status for Greenland. Let Denmark and Greenland handle the political state and economy, and the US handles most of the defense matters, along with special influence on minerals handling.

Safety first.
