Genealogy Roundup, July 19 – Megan Smolenyak – The Future of Family Trees: How AI Kinship Recognition is Revolutionizing Genealogy

Even before AI entered the arena, we were already at a stage where poor research often outshouts accurate – if only because so many copy others’ trees without looking at a single record or questioning any aspect – and I fear this will amplify that tendency.

60,000 tonnes of agricultural products destroyed by Russian missiles were to be sent to China – Zelenskyy | Ukrainska Pravda

“This attack proves that their target is not only Ukraine, and not only the lives of our people. About a million tons of food is stored in the ports that were attacked today. This is the volume that should have been delivered to consumer countries in Africa and Asia long ago.

The port terminal that suffered the most from the Russian terror last night had 60,000 tons of agricultural products stored in it, which were intended to be shipped to China. That is, everyone is affected by this Russian terror.”

“Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death”

In Saner Thought

I love these Right wing d/bags….they just cannot help themselves….

Pretty much every Americans knows that quote by Patrick Henry before he was hanged by the British….

It seems that Radical Right winger Josh Hawley, senator from Missouri is so enamored with Patrick Henry that he used another of his quotes in one of Hawley’s 4th of July stump stops.

The quote goes like this….

“Patrick Henry: ‘It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.’,”

How lovely….but it is total bullshit!

The catch: Founding Father Patrick Henry — a slave owner most famous for his declaration, “Give me liberty or give me death,” — never said the quote Hawley…
