A DDOS against the Internet Archive has commenced again, timed for maximum pain for the California staff to deal with. (I don't sleep, but I also can't do anything on the infrastructure here.)

So, we're down until people wake up to deal with the constant DOOS against us because... reasons

Wow. A microbiology lab at Texas A&M accepted purchased raw milk samples from NPR for H5N1 testing, then contacted the milk producers to seek permission. When the producers said, "don't test our milk," the lab not only declined to carry out the tests but also refused to send the samples on to another lab.

@kdnyhan So the labs have stolen NPR’s property.

I like how A&M warm over farm “families’” survival when people are being killed. What cult of human sacrifice do they worship in?

This is something I am deeply worried about too; throughout but again this morning, with Israel’s horrendous bombing of a refugee camp just days after ICC put out a warrant against Netanyahu, and again, so far, NOTHING from Biden and co:

that the liberal world order so obviously means nothing, is a sham; that “Might is Right” - always but now so completely clearly so. As Nesrine Malik says, this will have wider repercussions.

“I have been teaching in small liberal arts colleges for over 15 years now, and in the past five years, it’s as though someone flipped a switch. For most of my career, I assigned around 30 pages of reading per class meeting as a baseline expectation… Now students are intimidated by anything over 10 pages and seem to walk away from readings of as little as 20 pages with no real understanding.“

Readers are a lifesaver for some sites. They have pages of ads with information as an afterthought.

I’ve finally settled down to watch your piece. Ah another generation excavating the culture only to find it’s still the late 1700s..

ps there’s band potential there being sung in the ending credits.

Human history in a nutshell.

If the Italians appear sanguine about history, it's because, they've been there, and done that.
