🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

"Terrorism and homicides account for less than 1% of deaths, but for more than half of all media stories about death in the US"

Amazing to see how aligned Fox, Wapo, and the NYT are
What we die from vs. what we hear in the news.

Terrorism and homicides account for less than 1% of deaths, but for more than half of all media stories about death in the US — whether in the New York Times, the Washington Post, or Fox News.

Not the most pressing issue of the day, but an indication of how quickly things can get entrenched in our systems and information environment. Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico is getting reified in the LCSH

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak.

The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership.

We can do this.

I'm deciding wether to reread Dune or Master and Commander ... Just realized the similarities are as interesting as the differences between the two series.

I did not know that there was a Saigon Blues scene before and during the US war with Vietnam.
Apparently there was and now there is a Saigon Blues revival, which is awesome. Check out these tracks on Bandcamp

Saigon Soul Revival, “M​ố​i L​ư​ơ​ng Duy​ê​n”
With their colorful, eclectic sound, Saigon Soul Revival are torchbearers for an important part of Vietnamese musical history.
