In theory, as well as ideally, the killing of all journalists should be condemned, however media has become a weapon at wars and when nobody goes out and protest for journalists oppressed or sacked, but mourn for journalists that did not shed a tear for any of those, it's a double standard to mourn for one and ignore the other, isn't it?

My books, especially the older ones, are treasure troves of historical trivia. I recently found a bus ticket from Leicester England in a book of translations. I was obviously reading it while visiting my grandparents, probably circa 1978-1979.

The main library asked us if we want to transfer a massive 36 volume 17th century set of church history over to special collections, and itโ€™s going to be a pain in the butt, but the title page is pretty great. https://id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990010201810203941/catalog

"On August 6, 1991 [34 years ago], the first website was introduced to the world. [It] contained information about the World Wide Web Project. It launched at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, where it was created by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee."

Last month, GM sold more than 8,000 of its electric Chevy Equinox, posting the best monthly sales ever for an EV model not sold by Tesla (sadly low bar). But I liked the Equinox EV a lot when I reviewed it https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/26/business/equinox-ev-review-chevy-suv/
Equinox EV review: Cheapest electric SUV is a good deal

The electric two-row SUV can travel over 300 miles on a charge and starts at less than $35,000.

It's very simple really. There are Drives and Sites. You can find your Sites in Teams where they are called Channels. Or Files in Channels. Sites are also in SharePoint. Drives are also in SharePoint but you can't access them that way except by accident. Libraries are Groups that are also Files (but Teams calls these Knowledge Bases). You can save things in Notebooks which are saved in a Drive but can also contain Drives or Sites (but not Teams, which are what Teams calls Teams and where Channels are stored, which SharePoint and OneDrive call Sites). Copilot is both a way to access Sites and Drives, and a way to produce lies. Nobody knows what 365 means. If all of this is overwhelming, consider speaking to your administrator about whether Microsoft Death is right for you.
