An important historic documentary from "Proekt Media": journalists collected series of official speeches of #Russia politicians, including Putin, their articles and public statements since 2010's regarding #Ukraine. The material documents continued Russia's meddling with Ukraine's internal affairs while trying to pull it into Russia's economic orbit, which was at the time going into decline.

Staff make the call when it comes to deciding what's age-appropriate at their libraries. In Idaho, an organization called Parents Against Bad Books claims parents should have a say, while in Washington State, a proposal would require libraries to use a system like the one used by the movie industry, and in Florida, there's a formal challenge process under the "Don't Say Gay" law. NPR breaks down the situation.

Wait, what? Malleable, empowered chatbots are arriving long before we have protections in place for them. Also, how do you protect a production system when you don’t know why code changes are happening?
