Since Bill Ackman and his followers have so many questions about how Wikipedia works now that his wife has been accused of plagiarizing from it, I figured I'd help him out.

Christmas greetings from #MartyTheDog and #MaxTheDog #dogsofmastodon

I keep finding out that several friends from here unfollowed me a while back without realizing it--or did I say something super obnoxious? I don't think so? At least no one is saying so. But at some point I realized all the people I normally hear from were silent and it was sad. Anyhow, if a few people boost this, that might help find The Missing Chums.

Update: That's plenty; thanks folks!

@MartyTheDog and @MaxTheDog celebrate their bath by wrestling all over the house. Marty is larger but Max is Max. @Bellingcat

Foucault et la guerre - Éditions Mimésis

Cet essai est consacré aux analyses de Michel Foucault sur la guerre, un sujet qui n’a pas toujours reçu l’attention qu’il mérite et qui joue pourtant un rôle déterminant dans l’œuvre de l’auteur. Les réflexions de Foucault sont ici mises en relation avec celles de Carl Schmitt – une comparaison rarement établie, et sur laquelle la littérature critique reste encore faible aujourd’hui. –> Sommaire (.PDF)

Shot in the dark here: did you, or anyone you know, work at the #Harvard Office of Information Technology (#OIT) circa 1997-98, AKA When Everyone Quit At Once over the summer? (Before or after the quitting is fine.)

If so... I have some questions which you are probably no longer legally enjoined from answering! 🤣
