I'd hope there is. But I think #MeToo should us how these systems of Omertà work. It's ghastly, anyway.

Punching, Slamming, Screaming: A Chef’s Past Abuse Haunts Noma, the World’s Top-Rated Restaurant

"Mr. Redzepi escalated the attack, punching his employee in the ribs and screaming that no one would go back inside until the chef said, loud enough for all to hear, that he liked giving D.J.s oral sex." - Mahlzeit.

"Mr. Redzepi, they said, threatened to use his influence to get them blacklisted from restaurants around the world, to have their families deported, or to get their wives fired from their jobs at other businesses." - I guess this might be the answer to your question.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Kann so jemand wie Trump auch Gutes bewirken?

Der Angriff auf den Iran könnte das Land befreien. Dem US-Präsidenten traut man nur eigennützige Motive zu. Aber braucht es überhaupt Moral? Über die „unsichtbare Hand“, auch in der Politik.

You couldn't make this up

Putin is supporting Iran with intelligence in the war

Yet Trump is considering unsanctioning more Russian oil according to Bessent

A clueless US Administration, in way over its head

Not "Paris art friends", though, but "itinerant artists with links to Paris." So basically, it's Emily in the Emirate.

The FT is a great newspaper, but this is silly, to put it mildly.

Exclusive: Since the war began, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft.

The assistance signals that the conflict now features one of America’s chief nuclear-armed competitors. https://wapo.st/47vAwD9

This allows the EU to be non-aligned with the US but anti the Iranian regime. Spain has obviously carved out a stronger position. But Madrid has a) no formal allies in the Gulf and b) cares little about Ukraine, so can risk angering Trump

People keep asking me whether the EU is warming to the US and Israel's war on Iran.

The answer is no

The EU pattern has been exactly the same as the UK's: Against the original US and Israel attacks (seen as illegal). But ready to defend allies in the Gulf when attacked by Iran

As the leadership in Tehran faces a potentially existential threat, many of the fighters and militia groups the Iranians cultivated in Iraq have so far not entered the fight for them. Reuters investigates why: reut.rs/4syEjrI

When has telling squabbling folks to "calm down" ever led to them calming down?

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

The Iceland referendum on EU accession is now slated for 29 August this year.

Note: The referendum will first only be on restarting the negotiations, but clearly a sign of shifting geopolitical thinking.

Ich habe die gestrige Aussage Selenskyjs zu Orban kritisiert und finde sie nicht sonderlich klug. Sie sollte aber schon im Kontext eines für Selenskyj typischen Witzes und nicht einer ernsthaften Drohung eingeordnet werden. Das kommt nicht in jeder Meldung dazu so rüber.
