Brief correction for Bluesky—Španěla’s first name is “Marek.” “Marka” is a declination.

Oops, “declension.” Autocorrect got me.

For the same reason his last name is Španěl.

Oops and now I have to fix that too.

TIL there is a “U.S.-originated censorship industrial complex” that extends around the globe.

Very concerning. Will look into it.
