The study found Chinese people were two percent happier on average living near high-speed rail, but I’d be one million percent happier if we just had one in the United States.

This is for my #Academics and avid readers, I’m looking for academic level reading on #AfricanHistory and #CriticalRaceStudies I’ve read the popular books like “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa”, but I’m interested in ancient kingdoms. Anything and everything. All book recommendations welcome, but also audiobooks are especially welcome. #BookClub #BookRecommendations #AcademicStudy #SelfLearning #FurtherEducation

Anyone needing a primer on modern paganism could do worse than get a copy of this by Dr Liz Williams. Liz is an all round good egg and friend of mine. I don’t think she’s on here yet so won’t be embarrassed by my shilling her book, but it’s bloody good. #Paganism #History #Academicstudy

Wow.

Why are we not surprised #TorProject would create "incentives" (bribes?) such that #Tails reject a bit of (#I2P) competition, haha.

Its not enough that they destroyed human-. readable (#HSv2) addresses.

How much did #Tor make from the sale of those #etheriumScam tokens, which are centralised on #Cloudflare and #Amazon servers, again?

Tails is okay but could be much, much better.

Their loss.

Like #journalism, Tor is becoming an #academicStudy in controlled destruction.
