Due to recent events involving Stique breaking community rules in Ranked Duels, he has been disqualified from the esports season.
Effective immediately, Stique is removed from the competition and barred from participating in future official GeoGuessr Esports events. As a result, Manuelson, the World League runner-up, will advance directly to the World Finals in Berlin.
Additionally, Ralius, the Play-In. runner-up, has now secured a spot for the tournament.
We are currently working on updating the World Championship page to reflect these changes.

There are several people who have seen classified intel on Covid origins.
The mystery for them is not "Did Covid come from a lab?" but "What processes led to Covid leaking from a lab?"

If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.

don't forget the names of the 100 students who protested the dictactorship and were killed in cold blood by it

Our big outdoor shows in 2026 are on sale now. Last year was such a special thing for all of us, totally beyond anyone’s expectations, so we have decided to do it all again.

🇲🇩 Chișinău should prepare for a possible Transnistrian capitulation, which could happen by the new year, as the separatist regime struggles after Russia’s failed attempts to influence Moldovan politics.
For the past five days, Transnistria has been in a strict gas-saving regime, with industry halted and residents left without heating or hot water, leaving the separatist leaders with no viable options except either surrendering or following a last Kremlin order to destabilize the region.

COVID origins: Why unfunded DEFUSE is the smoking gun.
Opponents of the lab leak hypothesis often dismiss the 2018 DEFUSE proposal by saying, "But it wasn't funded!" This misses the point entirely:

"You want to negotiate on behalf of the people of Gaza while living in hotels?!"
This is the real voice of the people of Gaza. If you choose to ignore it, then they don't need you to stand by us.

BREAKING: Anti-Hamas protests have erupted again today in Gaza.
Thousands of Palestinians are taking to the streets right now in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, protesting against Hamas and demanding an end to the war.
DOWN WITH HAMAS!

They didn’t “welcome” us. The British intercepted 50,000 Holocaust survivors, most of them orphans and teenagers, and locked them behind barbed wire in Cyprus, just months after they escaped the camps of Europe. You want to talk about welcome?
The people in that photo were from the Aliyah Bet ship Theodor Herzl, deported by British soldiers and processed like livestock in disinfection stations. They weren’t greeted with open arms. They were imprisoned because the British enforced a quota system designed to appease Arab opposition to Jewish immigration. Survivors, some of whom watched their families die in Auschwitz, were now being detained for the crime of seeking refuge.
If anything, the message on the banner, “The Germans destroyed our families. Don’t you destroy our hope,” was a sign of desperation, it was a plea. One ignored by everyone: the British, the Arab leadership, and the international community.
So no, there was no embrace. No hospitality. Just tents in Cyprus, closed ports, detention camps, and barbed wire. But sure, keep romanticizing our internment

Main conclusions:
- the market could just as well have been a superspreader event,
- no infected animal at the market,
- ascertainment bias fully possible in early data,
- early data clearly only tip of the iceberg.
Today, WHO’s Scientific Advisory Group on the Origins of Novel Pathogens (SAGO), a group convened by WHO, released a report on the origins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused the #COVID19 pandemic.
For this report, SAGO reviewed peer-reviewed papers and reviews, as well as available unpublished information, field studies, and other reports, and conducted briefings with researchers, academics, and other experts.
SAGO has advanced the understanding of the origins of COVID-19, but as they say in their report, much of the information needed to evaluate fully all hypotheses has not been provided.
Therefore, the work to understand the origins of SARS-CoV-2 remains unfinished. WHO welcomes any further evidence on the origins of COVID-19, and SAGO remains committed to reviewing any new information should it become available.

Here is a video of Ahmed Al-Masri, a Palestinian activist from Gaza and one of the leaders of the anti-Hamas protests, saying during a demonstration: “We want to live in freedom and dignity. We don’t want Hamas—Hamas has destroyed us.”
Today, Hamas militants attacked Ahmed—shot at him, attempted to kill him, and brutally broke his limbs.
This is what happens when you speak the truth in Gaza. They silence you with bullets and broken bones.

Greenday used their platform at Coachella to highlight Gaza.
They're not silenced, no gigs cancelled like Kneecap, and there are no calls for them to apologise.
Why? They didn't lose the run of themselves about Tory MPs or shout "Up Hezbollah".
It isn't about Gaza.
