I agree with most except one - that independent journalism is dying.
There are so many ways to do independent journalism right now, none of which were ever available before. We should use the success stories and learn from them.
the whole team of the Kyiv Independent once walked out of another media outlet because they disagreed on editorial policies. They made their own, fully funded by the people. I pitch in too :)

just finished "Wednesday". officially - the best thing I watched this year. Maybe even longer.
I have a soft spot for great movies with well written diverse female characters. I'd put Wednesday on the same shelf as the Expanse series.
Highly, highly recommend. And a HUGE thank you for the creators. This is a top notch content ๐Ÿ–ค

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine They are indeed.

After the Palestinian Authority joined Hamas on the side of the Russians (vs Ukraine) the western left's Palestinian supporters found themselves on the same side.

The struggle is real.

Something else that Russia is up to that, until now, has flown under the radar screen: they are establishing a military base in and starting a nuclear power program there. Story from the excellent Nicaraguan publication _Confidencial_: confidencial.digital/english/o
