BTW, the clip of the band is by Solomon Sir Jones, who made dozens of films documenting African-American communities in Oklahoma & other states from 1924 to 1928. They show everyday life in Black communities & are immensely valuable historical resources. Learn more, here. 👇🏽

Solomon Sir Jones, who made the film, was a very impressive gent -- influential Baptist minister, businessman, & amateur filmmaker. (His parents had been enslaved.) He made dozens of films. mostly in Oklahoma, but in other states, Europe, & the Middle East as well.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

Israel still committing genocide in Gaza, Amnesty International says
The NGO’s chief says last month’s ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal’

In another era, the political media would be shoveling dirt onto Trump's political grave as a hopeless lame duck and shifting their focus to the 2028 Presidential race. But in this era they'll keep rooting for the Reichstag Fire or other event to keep pretending he's popular

Fishtopher 3 years ago, when he was first adopted. He is a brown tabby cat with green eyes and a wide head. He lays in the arms of the camera person and looks a little anxious. Fishtopher today. He is a brown tabby cat with green eyes, and is sitting very confidently and expectantly for treats.

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.

This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

In the US, Catholic sisters return Wisconsin land to Ojibwe tribe in a historic first. The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have transferred a lakefront property to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for the same $30,000 they paid in 1966.

For the first time, Catholic sisters return land to a Tribal nation
"This return represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked."

NEW: A trivial-to-exploit bug in jury systems used across the United States exposed jurors' sensitive personal data, such as full names, date of birth, emails, cell phone numbers, and home addresses — and potentially health data.

The bug allowed anyone to brute-force and access jurors' accounts.
