Italian security agencies have “foiled a series of cyberattacks” of “Russian origin,” Italy’s foreign secretary says, just days before the country is set to host the Winter Olympic Games. The attacks, which Russia is believed to have also carried out in 2018 and 2024, come after Russia was banned from competing over doping infractions and its war in Ukraine. Read more from @dw

There’s a bad smell in the air 🔴
It stinks of greenwashing from some companies sponsoring the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina, Italy.
Among them: Eni, Leonardo and Coca-Cola. Do they really care about nature and sport?
Check out the video! 👇
@greenpeace Dyed hair is not necessary and it is a bad example. However, #greenwashing is still better than nothing at all. Of course, "polluters pay" would be better, but how to achieve it in a way that is just for firms belonging to different countries? By the way, I also had the idea that all #Olympics should be "smaller", because they are risky for #economics and not #ecofriendly e.g. there is a lot of #travel involved.
International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry said on Sunday it was "sad" that recent controversies have become distractions ahead of the Milano Cortina Games. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2026/02/02/ioc-president-games-buildup-distractions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #olympics #2026milanocortinaolympics #internationalolympiccommittee #kirstycoventry #caseywasserman #ice #italy #unitedstates #jeffreyepstein #2028losangelesolympics
Ich bin zufällig ausgewählt worden, um am "Bürgerforum" zur Olympia-Bewerbung von Berlin teilzunehmen. Das sind drei mal 6 Stunden jeweils an einem Samstag wo ich mit 49 anderen zufälligen Bürgern meine "Sichtweisen und Erfahrungen" einbringen und "gemeinsam Empfehlungen ausarbeiten" soll...
Meine Sichtweise ist, das Olympia Bullshit ist und sich verpissen kann.
Wie hoch ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass ich 3 Samstage verschwende und es sowieso egal ist was die 50 Hanseln da besprechen?
