I make videos on YouTube about war, conflict, Russia – at the moment mostly the war in Ukraine.

Man, oh man, am I glad I left the bird site for #Mastodon. Just looked at Twitter and the top trending topics include Paul Pelosi, Madison Cawthorn, Auschwitz, #Nuremberg2 and Matt Walsh. I do not miss that kind of histrionic and divisive agitprop. Twitter's algorithm is breaking people's minds and slowly damaging democracy.

From @TheStudyOfWar: Latest change of command is unlikely to reverse the tide against #Putin invasion

"Gerasimov is unlikely to rapidly revitalize and reform Russia’s conduct of the war in #Ukraine to achieve Putin’s maximalist objectives"

When calculating trend content, give extra score to server language · Issue #23049 · mastodon/mastodon

Pitch Almost all the trending posts, links and hashtags I get on my Danish language server are in English. I guess it is because the "local" fediverse consists of many large English/global servers....

TV2 Lorry omdannes til TV2 Kosmopol

Deres første programerklæring lyder et resume fra De Københavnske Saloner”……

“goddag til ny journalistik, der går på tværs af områdets 34 kommuner og har udsyn til storbyerne i landene omkring os - Stockholm, Malmø, Berlin, Hamburg- Dem har vi mere til fælles med end Hirtshals, Holstebro og Herning, hedder det”

This, I believe is a good solution: Dozhd maintains a safe haven in the EU, but in a country with less potential friction points.

(Btw, this way it will also be able to broadcast in Latvia, but we all know that its main audience is in Russia.)

Russian independent TV Rain gets license to broadcast from the Netherlands

The Russian channel had been previously operating in exile from Latvia, until its license was revoked in December.

Russia's Defense Ministry is "modernizing" its enlistment offices and digitalizing more conscript data, following lessons learned in mobilization. It's introducing some A.I., too, whatever that means. https://t.me/rian_ru/190856

📷 1: Russia claims, they struck a building killing 600 Ukrainians… except there is now pictures of the building — still standing —because the Russians actually hit the building’s parking lot.
📷 2: Russia also claims, Ukraine certainly did not strike a school killing 600 Russians… except there is now pictures of said school — completely oblitterated — AND…
📷 3: Even an interview with a dying Russian soldier, saying they where all gathered in the school to watch Putin’s New Years address.
#Zotero & Mastodon tricks:
1. Bc Mastodon is using standard HTML, Zotero is able to recognize any DOIs in your current timeline & import the related works into your Zotero library:
Right-click on the Save to Zotero icon in your browser and select "Save to Zotero (DOI)"
2. Did you know you can add individual Mastodon posts with metadata to Zotero when you're looking at a single post view, e.g. by clicking on the timestamp (the URL will look sth like https://fediscience.org/@adam42smith/109639860471806025 )

I keep seeing articles, about people trying to violently overturn election results, that use phrases like “motivated by election lies”.

They aren’t motivated by lies, they are motivated by not liking the result. Repeating the lies just makes them feel powerful because it makes them part of the grift. They think they’re fooling people.

Blaming the lies lulls us into thinking that this is an education/disinformation problem which, if addressed, will eliminate the violence.

These folks aren’t deluded. They’ve learned from their leaders that violence and lying are the route to power.

For most of my life I thought these problems could be solved by education. I no longer do. As far as I can tell, about 30% of the population believes that getting away with grifts and bullying people is proof of power and leadership that should be respected, worshiped, and emulated.

We can’t educate these folks. We can only build a society that ensures that they cannot gain control. Unfortunately, the entire human race has largely failed to do so, and we’re suffering the consequences on a planetary scale.

Every day we act as though they don’t *know* that the elections were valid, is a day we risk losing the fight for democracy, equality, and a stable environment.
