I can see that. This is how I felt before listening to #Maddow's #podcast series #Ultra, but having already watched the excellent #PBS documentary series, #TheUSandTheHolocaust by #KenBurns*, which makes it a lot easier visualizing things from the podcast and having the #European theater of war during #WWII as the grand background theme.
I can tell you this, I have listened to the pod twice already. Now, I think I really understand...
President #Zelensky received the prestigious #Charlemagne Prize awarded this year to him and the Ukrainian people.
The honour is given for efforts to foster #European unity.
"Ukraine incarnates everything the European idea is living for: the courage of convictions, the fight for values and freedom, the commitment to peace and unity," #EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said at the award ceremony.

For a long time in Scotland, Labour been pretty much the same as the Tories. Labour supporters deny this and get annoyed so am sorry to burst such folk's bubble but here is it straight from your leader's mouth.
Labour as a socialist party is dead and the only question that remains is which party left wing Labour supporters will vote for now? #Socialism https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/labour-real-conservatives-keir-starmer-protect-way-life-2337576
Sadly for those working in #universities & hoping the #Tories would (quickly) conclude an agreement on outstanding fees to allow the to rejoin the #Horizon research programme, the 'discount' offered by the EU for the two year delay has been deemed insufficient by UK negotiators, ensuring the lockout from the #European research community continues;
tthe longer the delay (and uncertainty) the less likely bridges can/will be be rebuilt with #EU located research teams!
"#Twitter CEO #Elon#Musk said late Tuesday that the platform had not signed a formal deal with former #FoxNews host #Tucker#Carlson, who earlier in the day 👉announced plans to launch a new show on #Twitter.👈
“...Tucker is subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators,” Musk said...
"...many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is #Twitter, where we are now,” #Carlson said in his announcement."
Anyone who has followed #Elmo's more and more #rightwing inclinations on the #BorgSite can hardly be surprised.
We now also received national funding for our new radio telescope in #Namibia from #NWO. Together with #European#ERC we have the full budget to build a fantastic telescope to make color movies of black holes and detect cosmic explosions (transients). We work in partnership with European and African partners on the science, but also support a wonderful mobile planetarium program run by local volunteers. #Astrodon#Astronomy#Africa#radioastronomy
...its Western #European allies in the #EU that have also transcended monarchical rule.
Lastly, in the face of the next societal revolution, a universal basic income (#UBI) and #UniversalHealthcare must be established.
The Statue of Liberty must once again become the beacon of hope for the world🌎 that it once was before WWI.
For this to happen, the aforementioned, from a none-US, Western point of view, atavistic characteristics and tendencies of...

Might I share my Black experience of ending up on Mastodon?
I was with the queer disabled BIPOC art community on Twitter. They're more internet savvy than the average internet user. So groups within groups connected to groups of people.
Many were making comics online and selling at conventions since the days of Angelfire and Geocities. 1990s.
When sht began to hit the fans, folks had relied on twitter. Sure they had their own sites... but... #blackmastodon#blackfedi
...The generally well-minded people in the #Fediverse, who are mostly white so far, or #Asian, but using their own language for a big part, so you will not reach many of them.

I always try to differentiate, having read quite a bit of history of the #BritishIsles. 😉
However, not living there, I can rarely do better than none-yellow-press journalists.
(I was recently appalled that a British journalist of #TheEconomist contrasted the #UK with #Europe, though he clearly meant the #EU, and the Isles are clearly part of the #European continental shelf.)
The #AI Act is a flagship legislative proposal to regulate #ArtificialIntelligence based on its potential to cause harm. The #European Parliament is now inching toward formalising its position on the file, after #EU lawmakers reached a political agreement on Thursday (27 April). #machinelearning#llm#LLMs
The UK were never an enthusiastic member of the #European Family. They were always awkward and causing issues for other members. They always wanted concessions or rebates from things that they were never committed too.
If they do ever decide to rejoin, I think they will have a very committed and enthusiastic population. They have learnt the very hard way the benefits of being in the club.
Found what I was looking for in Chapter 1 of ᏣᎳᎩ ᎣᏣᏕᎶᏆᎠ
We Are Learning Cherokee Level 1 textbook
Set A prefixes (personal pronouns) and Set B prefixes (possesive pronouns) Sound very logical.
I love that #Cherokee filed the "we" problem of (most) Western #European languages:
You and I (Gini-)
He or She and I (Ogini-)
They and I (Ogi-)
All of Us (Igi-)
