Facebook moderators call on firm to do more about posts praising Bucha atrocities | Technology | The Guardian
Facebook moderators have called on the company to let them take action against users who praise or support the Russian military’s atrocities in Bucha and across Ukraine. Almost a month after evidence of widespread murder and mass graves was uncovered by Ukrainian forces taking the suburb of Kyiv, the social network still has not flagged the atrocity as an “internally designated” incident, the moderators say. That ties their hands in how they can treat content related to the killings, they say, and forces them to leave up some content they believe ought to be removed. “It’s been a month since the massacre and mass graves in Bucha, but this event hasn’t been even designated a ‘violating event’, let alone a hate crime,” said one moderator, who spoke to the Guardian on condition of anonymity. “On that same day there was a shooting in the US, with one fatality and two casualties, and this was declared a violating event within three hours.”
Luxe, calme et volupté
Bangkok, 2017
Pe vremea când hotelul Oriental s-a dat în folosință, în 1887, oamenii de litere obișnuiau să tragă în cele mai rafinate locații.

Gazdele erau onorate și datoare să le pună la dispoziție suite luxoase unde să-și scrie cărțile.

Scriitorii, clienți îndeobște pretențioși, treceau drept liderii de opinie cei mai credibili.

Cărțile lor erau dezbătute de aristocrați în saloanele literare la modă, iar oamenii politici se înghesuiau să-i citeze ca să-și exhibe cultura.

Prin vorbele de duh ale unui scriitor erau hrănite aspirații și influențate gusturi.

Astăzi, capriciile lor relatate anecdotic servesc reputației diverselor hoteluri pe unde au descins.

Unul dintre pelerinajele literare obligatorii pentru un degustător de lectură este socotit acest hotel mitic,

unde au poposit toți marii autori care călătoreau în Indochina,

pesemne singurul hotel din lume care se bucură de o amprentă literară atât de puternică.

Faima i s-a consolidat prin publicitatea pe care i-au făcut-o…

THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW? THERE IS…
An article in the Chicago Tribune by Kaitlin Miller reported various extant laws in place the day following January 6, 2021. This list should probably be at all our fingertips:
What is treason?
Treason can broadly mean betrayal or treachery, but it is a federal crime — and the only crime expressly defined by the Constitution. Treason only applies to American citizens and can be committed by “levying war” against the U.S. or by giving American enemies “aid and comfort.” Both of these crimes require concrete action as well as an intent to betray the nation, according to the National Constitution Center. There have only been a few treason prosecutions in American history, and there has only been one person indicted for treason since 1954 and the last time someone was convicted was in 1952.
What is sedition?
Sedition is a federal crime that falls short of the offense of…

The Medical/Sports Circus
From this article, we learn that:
(1) Knowing how to handle a basketball isn’t proof of intelligence, financial expertise or morals, and
(2) Having a medical degree isn’t proof of having common sense.
Why would anyone throw away a career over a few bucks? Massive risk for paltry rewards. Really.
There are 19 people facing jail time over trying to skim an NBA healthcare fund out of roughly $5,000,000. Net of cost and if divided evenly, each participate would net a little over $200,000 from the scheme. That would feed a cocaine or gambling habit for how long?
One is a doctor, one is a dentist, and one is an assistant coach with the Utah Jazz and a former player, while the rest either play or are retired from playing basketball. Of course, by the time this is done, they will be out of work.
The root of this case…

So vielfälftig sind die Wunder der Schöpfung,

Zelensky #atozchallenge #Ukraine #fiction

“How did you know Zelensky?” I had asked Luda when I first met her at her home in Mariople.
“He grew up next door. When my nephews visit, they played. They became very good friends. Those boys have been together through many things and now war. Do you know his name means ‘famous leader?'”
No I didnt not know the meaning of his name, but it fit. These were the few things I knew about Volodymyr Zelensky who was elected President of Ukraine in 2019:
Volodymyr was born in 1978. Ukrainian was then part of the Soviet Union. After the fall of communism, Zelenskyy co-founded a successful comedy troupe and studied law.
Volodymyr Zelensky had been in the position of President of Ukraine for a few years when Russia attacked on Feb 24. Zelensky grew up under the iron fist of Mother Russia and had no desire…
