After nearly three years in solitary, facing prosecution demands for 20 more years in prison for "extremism," Navalny proves eloquent and unbowed.

I love it when good science journalism totally upends received wisdom, in this case about gender roles. What a provocative read! It reminds me of Graeber and Wengrow's epic book 'The Dawn of Everything' albeit in miniature: nytimes.com/2023/08/01/sci…

And don't forget to see a crisp new print of 2001 at MOMI, the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, a good long run until August 27th. movingimage.us/series/see-it-…

I had a great time last Monday talking 2001: A Space Odyssey with the very-informed & good humored Scott Adlerberg, thanks to everyone for coming out with some great questions and observations! (Pic by Steve Lawrence)

Meanwhile in Russia: propagandist Sergey Mardan emphasized that Russia wants a lot more than just the restoration of the USSR and is striving to restore the Russian empire. youtu.be/GqENT7ey0_M

Exact... Remarkable how a handful of words (only 17!) by the invaluable Julia Davis can crystalize exactly what's at stake, sweeping aside "useful idiot" blather parroting Russian disinfo. The only tweak I would make his to replace the second use of NATO simply with "Ukraine."

‼️ “Ukranians are good people!” Wow! I didn’t expect to hear this at Navalny’s funeral. I’m kinda speechless… #Navalny #NavalnyFuneral #Russia #Ukraine #RussiaUkraineWar

Two men, two funerals. Moscow, 1989: Russians said good bye to the human rights champion, Andrei Sakharov. Moscow today: Russians honoring Aleksey Navalny.

Has anyone else noticed that the people who say they need guns in case the US Government becomes too tyrannical and the people who say Ukraine should just roll over and surrender to a tyrannical government are the same group of people?

The closer RFK Jr is to MAGA and Russian talking points the more of a potential spoiler he is to benefit Biden, so we should hope he keeps his BS up. It's when he's (mis-)understood as an environmental lawyer, quasi-lefty activist, etc that this quack's a danger to the Dem ticket
