#TheGuardian: "Timetables, tricky tickets and high prices: the problems with #European #crossborderRail #travel" (citing extensively @jon)

"For a whole raft of reasons – inadequate #infrastructure, unwilling operators, incompatible systems, incomprehensible timetabling and (last but not least) impossibly complicated #ticketing – long #rail journeys across #Europe are all too often a pastime rather than a practical travel alternative."

Humanity has never seen such crimes before, supported by the #European nations after World Wars One + Two combined. It is time to hold these countries' officials and institutions to account - to bring them to trial, and sentence them to life in prison. That's the least civil decent people expect from international authorities!
To destroy an entire people and its cultural heritage is the worst kind of criminal act in any society. There is no other way than the path of justice for #palestine.

Over $1 billion secured for US #weapons via NATO program

“In two days, we have over one billion dollars from our #European #NATO partners for the purchase of American weapons. This is evidence that #NSATU (NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine) is working, and the decisions of the NATO Summit in The Hague are being implemented.”

The wordless summons of receptive hearts back to the Old Ways of the ancestors is fundamentally a summons to a cultural remembrance. To remember who we are as a people, as a folk inextricably connected to the sacred land.

Tyr’s Day blessings!

The #European Commission has launched a public consultation to evaluate the effectiveness of three key #EU laws regulating airport access and service pricing—namely, the Slot Regulation, Groundhandling Directive, and Airport Charges Directive. These rules influence airline fees, ticket prices, flight availability, baggage handling, and overall service quality. With shifting market conditions and environmental goals, the Commission aims to ensure the legislation remains relevant. The consultation addresses issues like market consolidation, labour shortages, non-EU competition, and the need for decarbonisation. Feedback will help identify ways to simplify rules and cut red tape. Open to all EU citizens and stakeholders until 28 October 2025 via the Have your Say portal.
