Haven't y'all ever wondered why so many myths and legends begin with foundlings/abandoned babies? Moses? Romulus and Remus? Oedipus? It was a common story because it was a common practice. Infanticide was the original birth control.

Shamans, the practitioners of an ancient belief system, are often disparaged in South Korea. But they also hold a special place in the country’s culture. The World’s @matthewjbell.bsky.social reports.

"The Seed of the Sacred Fig" is an Oscar-nominated film about a family in Tehran during the #WomenLifeFreedom movement. But it isn’t being shown in a single theater across Iran because it calls out the country's authoritarian regime. My latest for @theworld.org: theworld.org/segments/202...

"I think that what they are trying to do is to figure out a way to push entire groups of people out of public life as an assertion of white patriarchy." @imarajones.bsky.social on the real intent of Trump's war on DEI.

The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.

A lot of folks sound like this right now: "First they came for trans people, and I did not speak out because I think they're gross. Then, they came for the immigrants and I again did not speak out because they need to follow the law" That's what propaganda does.

Do you think these companies are going to stop with trans folks? They're going to enable hate speech and dehumanizing rhetoric against anyone who's not an able bodied straight white Christian man. The time to speak out is now.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Jeff Atwood steps up to be a thing that’s sorely needed in tech right now: a leader. He actually gives half of his current net worth (not a pledge — he already cut checks) to 8 organizations helping the most vulnerable. blog.codinghorror.com/stay-gold-am... An inspiring move, when it most matters.

I used to know Sriram a long time ago; had coffee with him and met his wife and he told me he used to read my blog. After he fell in with the Andreessen types and became their pet during the Clubhouse era, I told him it was gonna end like this. We haven’t spoken since, but… lie down with dogs. 🤷🏾
