Today, we remember the children taken from their families and communities by residential schools, and those who never returned home. Learning this history and advancing reconciliation is a shared responsibility. Wear orange, and educate yourself: nctr.ca

For local reasons, Louisiana leaders in 1908 hoped to attract immigrants from Austria-Hungary to Louisiana by paying their ship fare. But U.S. courts ruled that the 1907 Immigration Act prohibited individual states from paying for such travel.

Public records confirm that the Austrian Ministry of the Interior bought Webloc, a geolocation mass surveillance system based on data from mobile apps and digital advertising = almost certainly illegal under the GDPR. Austria is now - after Hungary - the second EU state known to use such a system.

Gustav Klimt was deeply fond of cats and kept many of them in his studios in Vienna. Visitors often described his workspace as full of cats wandering freely among his drawings and materials. Despite his affection for them, cats do not appear in his art. His love for them was personal.

Gustav Klimt holds a black-and-white cat in his arms. Both look into the camera, both look happy.
