Thursday Things - Part 1

On a warm cloudy Thursday, here are some things going on:









From LifeZette, scam artists hack Twitter.







From The Conservative Woman, Africa needs electricity.





From the Irish Examiner, Irish dáilcritters will be required to ware face masks while in the Dáil.  (A dáilcritter is the Irish equivalent of an American congresscritter.)




From Dutch News, Dutch politician Geert Wilders gets hacked on Twitter.  (If you read Dutch, read the story at NPO 1.)


From EuroNews, German authorities continue their hunt for a "rambo" in the Black Forest.  (If you read German, read the story at PressePortal.)











From Romania-Insider, Romania extends its coronavirus state of alert.  (If you read Romanian, read the story at Digi24.)

From Novinite, "gypsies" attack and injure three police officers and a police dog in Kyustendil, Bulgaria.  (The article does not capitalize the initial "g" in "gypsies".  Regrettably, my spellchecker has no problem with "Gypsies" or "gypsies", but objects to "Roma", which is what the Gypsies call themselves.)








From Total Croatia News, the Pelješac bridge is still facing coronavirus-related problems.  (If you read Croatian, read related stories at Poslovni Dnevnik and Slobodna Dalmacija.)





From SwissInfo, Belgium adds and then removes the Swiss canton of Ticino from its travel warning list.  (Yours truly was in Switzerland, including Ticino, in 1996.)





From The Stream, racism cannot stop racism.
