6·7 days agoTechCrunch has that article tagged as “evergreens”, which I think is their code for “we can probably get away with reposting this later and pretending it’s brand new.”
Case in point, this article was published in 2023.

19·11 days agoSpanish investigators have confirmed that the Russian cargo vessel Ursa Major, which sank off the coast of Cartagena in December 2024, was carrying undeclared nuclear reactor components likely bound for North Korea.
According to La Verdad, the ship was part of Russia’s shadow fleet and took an unusual route from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok through the Mediterranean.
Though the ship’s manifest listed only empty containers and port equipment, aerial images revealed two large, undeclared containers at the stern. Authorities later identified them as housings for VM-4SG nuclear reactors.
What does a housing for a nuclear reactor look like?
it’s just a factory shutting down
They linked it because of the reason Volkswagen was selling the factory.
You either didn’t read the article (I get it, it’s paywalled) or you’re intentionally misrepresenting the link.
Either one makes your argument look bad.
Transcript of the article
Volkswagen VOW3 -0.38% has sold a car plant in China’s Xinjiang region that has drawn scrutiny over alleged human-rights abuses.
The Urumqi site, which is owned by a joint venture between VW and local partner SAIC Motor 600104 -0.32%, has been a source of controversy in recent years because of China’s alleged persecution of Uyghur minorities in the Xinjiang region.
TOKYO: A man was arrested after stabbing eight people and injuring seven others with what was believed to be bleach at a rubber factory in central Japan on Friday (Dec 26), officials said.
Curious to find out the backstory.
I love this thread. It’s like a quick list for who to block.

This is by far the largest music metadata database that is publicly available. For comparison, we have 256 million tracks, while others have 50-150 million. Our data is well-annotated: MusicBrainz has 5 million unique ISRCs, while our database has 186 million.
Does this mean the MusicBrainz database will soon go from 5 million to 186 million tracks?
