Breivik's manifesto was out on a British book site
Just days before the anniversary of the terrorist act on Utøya, the manifesto of the far-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik was on sale at the British book chain Waterstone, writes The Guardian.
The book only disappeared after the organization Tech Against Terrorism discovered the ad on the book chain's website. A spokesperson for Waterstone says the book would never have been available for home ordering.
During Saturday, attention was paid to the twelfth anniversary of the terrorist act, where 77 people were killed by the Norwegian terrorist Breivik.

Elon Musk's Twitter
Leader: Twitter is getting destroyed - Musk is playing with relationships
Although it is normal for social media platforms to come and go, it is difficult to accept Elon Musk's dismantling of Twitter, writes Annie Croona in an editorial in Dagens ETC.
She feels a concern for Musk's control of Twitter which "should be seen in the light of the ongoing movement to the right". Many of the changes that are happening on the platform are about protecting free speech – a word that is strikingly often "far-right or untrue or both," according to Croona.
She also dismisses upstarts like Threads and Mastodon as flawed platforms, and thinks it's too easy for Musk to play with people's "real relationships" forged on Twitter.

Climate threat The debate about meat consumption
Vegan diet significantly better from a climate point of view
A plant-based diet leads to only 30 percent of the climate-damaging emissions that a diet with a lot of meat results in. This is shown by a large British study published in the scientific journal Nature Food.
The researchers have analyzed what 55,000 Britons actually have on their plates. Data from 38,000 farms in 119 countries is also included. Peter Scarborough is a professor at the University of Oxford and has led the study. He says that the food we choose to eat has a big impact on the impression we make.
"We hope that our work can get politicians to take action and people to make more sustainable choices, while still eating something nutritious and tasty," write the researchers in The Conversation
