Enjoyed talking digital archives with @banikarim.bsky.social for @columjournreview.bsky.social. Really good column thank you for reaching out!! www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

“There’s a certain tension—big institutions and governments aren’t fully committed to creating digital libraries that are maintained with a view to preserving digital posterity,” Maria Bustillos, the editor of Flaming Hydra and an information activist, told me. “It’s a fight against entropy. All kinds of entropy: political entropy, academic entropy, cultural entropy, news entropy.”

There is some good news here, from the Internet Archive, the world’s largest digital library, which posted on X this week that it had “preserved more than 199,000 BET articles over the years,” accessible through the Wayback Machine, its website index. When MTV News shut down, in 2024, the Internet Archive created a searchable index of more than 470,000 pages.

Posing as "trans rights" but only bitching about Dems is a) a sure sign you're a Russian troll, b) a great way to get blocked.

As to what Dubya did and didn't know, was and wasn't told, Dubya is the son of a CIA chief who captured the White House in 1980. Dubya was the sock puppet for his dad's Haliburton pals, just like Saint Ronnie was the sock-puppet for papa-Bush and the intelligence-petrochemical industry. So it […]

Comes to mind, I live literally within walking distance of Caltech. How hard can it be to find a Linux group? But would I be welcome? Former local ACLU board member, lefty lefty left. I just assume somehow the Linux group at Caltech won't be as tie-dye trippy as I might be looking for.
