One of #Russia 's bravest human rights defenders, 'Oleg #Orlov , co-chair of the #Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization #Memorial , has been convicted under the newly instituted ‘crime’ of ‘repeatedly discrediting’ the #Russian Armed Forces and sentenced to two years and eleven months in a penal colony.'
#Yashin, #KaraMurza, #Kolesnikova and today #Orlov were sentenced to long prison terms. 100s of political prisoners in #Russia and #Belarus. The longer the #Putin system lasts, the more restrictive it becomes, and #Navalnyi is just the tip of the iceberg. All the more courageous were all those who openly demonstrated their solidarity with Orlov in court today.

#RIP: My beloved cat Sam died of kidney failure last week.
We spent 11 years together and he helped me survive some of the worst years of my life. He was so much more than a pet—Sam was my best friend and a great companion.
Like I told him often: “I love you Sam, now and always.”
So, this will be my last answer to @auschwitzmuseum.
Some people think, this is spam.
It is no spam, it is remembrance and my fight against forgetting this people!
Critique de la guerre en Ukraine, le militant russe Oleg Orlov risque trois ans de prison
Accusé d’avoir «discrédité» l’armée russe, le vice-président de l’association #Memorial, âgé de 70 ans, sera de nouveau jugé le 16 février à Moscou. L’acte d’accusation, consulté par Mediapart, démontre avec force détails l’absurdité de cette procédure.

Mojo Nixon, Who Mixed Roots and Punk Rock, Dies at 66
A self-styled voice of the doomed, the damned, the weird, he was known for satirical songs including Elvis Is Everywhere and Destroy All Lawyers.
I've always found this plaque in the cloisters of Glasgow University rather interesting. James McGill may not be a name many are familiar with in his native Glasgow, but he certainly left his mark on his adopted homeland of Canada.
New at my Patreon... Travelling on the Indian Pacific train through the locality of Ooldea, I managed to snap a photo of a monument to a great rail achievement:
The bronze sculpture of War on the Lord Roberts Monument in Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park. The monument was unveiled in 1916, just two years after the death of Field Marshal Earl Roberts. Created by Henry Poole, it's a copy of an original statue of Harry Bates which was erected in Calcutta in 1898. There's also another smaller version erected in 1924 on Horse Guards Parade in London.
