This fall I watched a 3-part documentary called "Berlin 1945" (on either #GEM in #Canada or BC's #KnowledgeNetwork) and I have to say the Gaza pics are very, very similar to Berlin May 1945. How ironic is that?
@BrownKnowser It happens. In BC we have a fantastic #KnowledgeNetwork show: "Emergency - Life And Death At Vancouver General Hospital". I highy recommend it.
@Windspeaker There's an EXCELLENT documentary on BC's #KnowledgeNetwork on #CowichanSweaters.

Laura Kuenssberg: State of Chaos review – full of extraordinary revelations, if you can bear to watch

The knives are out as Nigel Farage, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Hilary Benn and more dish out startling high-end gossip about Brexit and beyond. A gruesome look at the UK’s political perma-crisis

My #FridayReflection
Should we be importing traditions from other social spaces? For example #FollowFriday.
I'd suggest this approach needs to pivot somehow as #Mastadon is designed to minimise flocking behaviour and a guru culture.
Ideas, represented by hashtags are valued here. We are participating in a #KnowledgeNetwork. It is knowledge, ideas, innovations, viewpoints etc that we should share (and question) here.
So, I suggest #FollowFriday should pivot to sharing and amplifying ideas not people.

For example 👇

Two concepts I've bumped into here are: #SmallWeb

And,
The #SmallThings manifesto:

I'm questioning how these novel ways of thinking might impact #education

#Follow and #amplify what #intrigues you and have a great weekend. 👍

You can download Small Is Beautiful #23 directly, and watch it with your favourite video player. Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it? Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about:
