  • The caption below the graph in the image states that is how you should interpret the results in some places:

    The map compares the popularity of the U.S. and China in each country based on their net perception score (measured as the difference between the share of respondents with a positive perception minus those with a negative perception of each country.) The country with the higher net score is relatively more popular, or less unpopular.

  • Didn’t read the linked article when i first saw this post, some more interesting (though not surprising) results from the poll:

    Trump recorded the worst score among a range of political, cultural and spiritual leaders that includes X owner Elon Musk, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the late Pope Francis, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian.

    Israel emerged as the country with the worst global reputation of those included in the poll, especially in the Middle East and South Asia. Israel is unpopular even in European countries that have historically been its allies, such as Germany, signaling growing discomfort with its government’s conduct in Gaza and the West Bank.




  • Not saying you can’t be offended, but they don’t mean ‘you’re some semblance of queer’ in a negative or hurtful way. I read it as ‘queer people are different to the norm, so are people who prefer plant-based milk’. I read their stuff regularly and to me they’ve never come across as sexist or rapist.

    Them is the award-winning authority on what LGBTQ+ means today — and tomorrow. From in-depth storytelling on the fight for LGBTQ+ rights to intimate profiles of queer cultural vanguards, it’s a platform for all of the bold, stylish, and rebellious ways that LGBTQ+ people are reshaping our world every day.



  • Facts can be set up to mislead, because it isn’t possible to have all relevant facts presented. In this case for example, you can’t see how comparable the two cities are - the only facts in that regard are their names and the flag of their country. This is a true image of the underground metro, but does not show all forms of public transport for example. Another way this is framed by selecting these two cities, not showing any other cities anywhere else. So it matters that it’s factual, but that doesn’t mean it cant be misleading anymore.







  • Be a good example

    To me this is what counts more then anything when it comes to being a pedestrian in busy road with high speed traffic. especially in densely populated areas where kids are used to playing on roads and alleys with low traffic. First kids are worse at estimating risks, second they are less aware of their surroundings and third they are harder to spot by drivers. It’s important people are mindful of the message they could give by walking through a red light or cross the street somewhere you’re officially not allowed.


  • While health care has become the primary target for cybercriminals in recent years, putting lives at risk, the sector paradoxically invests less in cybersecurity than any other industry, leaving high-value data vulnerable to attack.

    For cybercriminals, targeting health data “is a perfect business plan,” said Christos Xenakis, professor at the department of digital systems at the University of Piraeus, Greece. “It’s easy to steal data, and what you steal, you can sell it at a high price.”

    However, other types of cyberattacks are also on the rise, including those by pro-Russian hacktivists aiming to disrupt health care operations, rather than for profit.

    While the risks are clear, national governments are skimping on prevention, Xenakis believes, saying that he has no good example of a country “that has invested a lot in cybersecurity in the health sector.”

    Magalini also pointed out another shortcoming: cybersecurity consultancies that assist hospitals often originate from outside Europe. “They are either from the United States or Canada … also from Russia,” she said, adding that there should be a “European way of doing cybersecurity.”
