when he had a good campaign message.
This is a hitherto unencountered usage of the term "good".

"Light Speed Travel Is Possible" - of course it's possible, what speed does the headline writer think light travels at...?

Should it be possible to login to the app using kbin.social credentials? Doesn't seem to work for me.

This is "world news"...?

Thanks. I appear to be blocking what Kbin calls magazines. So far I've blocked 30 meme magazines, 8 of which were called "memes" (albeit on different domains). Not quite sure what I'm achieving as more appear each day.
What I don't fully understand is the page/tab where I'm blocking things is titled "Threads", and I never use the Magazines tab.
Guess I have to unlearn some reddit mental baggage.
For example, I'm not interested in memes, so whenever i see a community (? not sure qhat the equivalent of sub-reddit is called on kbin), such as [https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml](https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml), I block it. How do I see the list of the ones that I have blocked? One reason for wanting to see this is that I seem to have to block a community called "Memes" almost every day - I assume these are on different instances. Is there a way to block any community called Memes (or perhaps even all ones with "memes" in the name)?

No, UNESCO is a convention that countries voluntarily sign up to, and the onus on protecting heritage sites generally falls to the host country. Obviously, when an invading country attacks sites like this, there's little UNESCO, or anyone else, can do. Destruction of cultural sites, that have no military value, is terrorism, and, arguably, part of a broader goal of genocide.

Perhaps I should have been more clear. I didn't mean it's a direct substitution for "from where", just that that's its meaning. A grammatical translation of the sentence would be "go back to where you came from".

It's correct, as whence means "from where", so adding "from" would be redundant.

The regulation of the European Parliament and the Council will apply to all batteries including all waste portable batteries, electric vehicle batteries, industrial batteries, starting, lightning and ignition (SLI) batteries (used mostly for vehicles and machinery) and batteries for light means of transport (e.g. electric bikes, e-mopeds, e-scooters).
Not just phones either.

In the same year Bridget Driscoll became the first recorded case in Great Britain of a pedestrian to be killed in a collision with a motor car. The car was traveling at 4mph.

The characters will be voiced by an AI. Players will be astounded at the wide range of in-game dialog, and occasionally bemused when game characters insist that "the arsonist has oddly-shaped feet" and "The Human Torch is denied a bank loan."
