Andrew 🌻 Brandt 🐇Just before the invasion, #Ukraine made a deal with #Amazon #AWS to create a data warehouse for its government information and infrastructure: tax and property records, bank statements, and the like. Things that an invaded and occupied Ukraine might lose if Russia got their hands on the only copies.
They literally snuck Pelican crates full of SSDs into the country and spirited them back offshore after backing up 10 petabytes of important historic and legal records.
This paragraph, second from the end, really put a fine point on why Amazon did this: They were not beholden to, nor being held hostage by, any Russian operations...because they never had any:
Amazon didn’t have to worry about its relationship with Russia on the Snowball project. It doesn’t have one. “We didn’t have anything to turn off there,” Maxwell said. “We had never invested there. It’s a point of principle.”
Truly an amazing story from the #LATimes.

batkaren (a/k/a kt roth)There are no individual “gophers”—what humans perceive as numerous rodents is actually a single subterranean beast (spanning much of the Earth’s crust) with an endless number of flesh nodules that operate similarly to octopus tentacles, snaking out for nourishment then retreating.

‘Harry Potter’ Proves That Separating the Art From the Artist Is Impossible
Hogwarts Legacy, a new game in the 'Harry Potter' franchise, has been met with backlash due to J.K. Rowling's transphobia — despite efforts to make the game more inclusive. Is it possible to divorce her work from her words?
👏THE 👏 HOGWARTS 👏 LEGACY 👏 DEVS 👏 HAVE 👏ALREADY 👏 BEEN 👏 PAID 👏 https://twitter.com/KitCarnage/status/1503526108091756548

“Reminder to the "we gotta buy Hogwarts Legacy to support the devs" people. The devs have already been paid. Your purchase of the game only sends the message that the Hogwarts IP is still profitable, and that you value your nostalgia over the lives of trans and nonbinary people.”

With all of the horrible things happening in the world, it’s nice to find the wins. Especially in the area of our environment. A group called Coral Guardian is restoring coral reefs, and it’s quite magnificent.
These photos represent 7 years of work on the Indonesia’s Hatamin Island. In this they have increased the fish population by 5x with 53k corals restored.
More wins like this, please.

Muskrats are upset Twitter used to have a dynamic team of content moderators who were constantly checking in w each other at all levels to determine best moderation practice, but happy now that it all rests solely in the hands of one man - the richest one in the world, no less 🤔

Watching Elon launch a digital mob against his former head of trust and safety, Yoel Roth, an openly gay Jewish man, is one of the most vile and disgusting things I've ever seen. He's putting Yoel's life in danger and he knows it. It's sick, twisted, and sociopathic.
