Sky News reporter says to Mark Regev, Bibi's spokeperson, that Bibi regularly adopted a position of empowering Hamas over #Palestine

Tipped off by Egypt before October 7th of what Hamas intended to was Southern Israel left without sufficient military protection DELIBERATELY?

We all love our leaders in times of war ...

The mills of the gods grind slow, but they grind fine—so fine that the quality of the grist matches that of the fabric weaved for the emperor’s new clothes.

There are thousands of scrolls of birch bark lodged in the soil in Novgorod, and they demonstrate a surprising level of popular literacy in the medieval period.

One of the scrolls (any word you use will be too fancy for the real thing, which is literally just a scrap of bark) is the earliest written text in a Balto-Finnic language (cool) and contains a spell or incantation of some kind (very cool).

I've been fascinated with birch bark letter #292 for a long time, so it was an obvious choice for a 'vaguely Finnish, weirdly specific' video.

Take a moment to enjoy my enthusiastic gesticulating about transliteration and back pain - and if you are particularly diverted, do give it a boost.

#FediBlock ChildLove.Space

ChildLove.su, an instance we all blocked, seems to have added the URL ChildLove.Space to evade the mass block.

If anyone knows any further action we can take to prevent further block evasion, this might be a good time to start doing that.

I hope everyone has a pain free weekend!

If you can't beat the odds, beat the evens instead ​

Every time I buy from an online store powered by Shopify, I worry it’s actually a scam site.

There’s something about the line of credit card logos in the footer and boilerplate content on about, terms, refund policy pages that seem more inauthentic than trustworthy.

It’s probably because I have seen so many obvious scams running ads on Instagram that link to Shopify sites—and it’s always a Shopify site.
