I recommend watching the movie Mr. Jones if you’d like to learn more about the Holodomor.

I agree. This recognition sends a signal to would-be genocidal regimes in Europe that they’re not going to get away with things like they might have in the past.

Can someone Australian explain why there was so much opposition to this?

 

This song has become my mantra for the week.

Of course neither of the book banners was willing to speak about their efforts on the record. They know how bad it looks, two people churning out paperwork to gum up the public schools.

 

Police raided the offices of a local newspaper, the Kansas Reflector, seizing computers & cell phones.

Interesting look at the mayoral race in Montgomery, AL. The incumbent mayor has done a good job, but he’s Black. The White good ol’ boys network has recruited some guy from Florida to run against him and regain their seat of power.

I joined mastodon.xyz a few years ago and never had any problems. Then today I tried to sign on and couldn’t. The server simply isn’t reachable. I can (and have) created a new instanceuaccount on a new server, but losing all my data has me concerned. What should I do with my new account so I don’t lose everything if this instance also disappears someday?

 

Straight-up punk. This link goes to a live performance.

At a communications conference last week, a Bloomberg reporter told the attendees that most tier 1 journalists are looking for stories on LinkedIn now instead of Twitter. It’s gone from vital to junk in just a few months. Without its moderators, Reddit faces the same fate: lots of activity, but most of it junk.

 

This song has been stuck in my head so I’m sharing it with y’all.
