Today in Labor History February 5, 2000: Russian forces massacred at least 60 civilians in a suburb of Grozny, Chechnya. Overall, the Siege of Grozny lasted from December 25, 1999 to February 6, 2000. Over 360 Russian troops died in the fighting, as did up to 2,000 Chechnyan soldiers. However, as many as 8,000 civilians also died.

Russia's incompetence could not have been any clearer. Until Ukraine!


The return of US President Donald Trump has been hailed by parts of the Israeli public who see his second term as a return of uncritical support of Israel.

Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden, supported Israel in its war on Gaza, as well as its invasion of Lebanon, but his administration’s occasional misgivings about Israel’s genocide in Gaza, which is now thought to have killed close to 62,000 people, made parts of the Israeli public "unhappy".

Friction quick tip #1 : Alpha masking between layers (#aftereffect track matte)

Here is a quick tip to have alpha (transparency) of a layer mask another layer in friction.

Do you know @friction ? It is an awesome open source 2d animation software, early stage, which could replace #aftereffect

Yesterday we released Tapestry to the world! A ton of work (and re-work!) has gone into the app over the last year, by everyone at the Iconfactory, so it's been really gratifying and relieving to hear all the positive comments about it. If you have a lot of social media, RSS feeds, YouTube channels, subreddits, and other stuff you keep up with, go check it out: usetapestry.com/

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2021 I created a bunch of vignettes for a new book, called SEA MAMMALS, by Annalisa Berta. They were quick to produce and a fun change from my big Mesozoic landscapes, which take weeks to complete. The animals here are not to scale.

Ok, I have been on Mastodon for awhile and love it. But, I think I need to dive a little deeper.

Are there any #mastodon experts willing to help?

I am starting to realize there are a bunch of servers and I am a bit confused about how each server interacts and how account access different servers and so on.

What I would really like to have is a sort of Mastodon manual. Does this exist?

If not, I would appreciate a hand with some of the details so I can get more out of this experience.

We are seeking a specialized technical consultant to develop a strategic plan for enhancing communication across IBRAM-#Museus’s digital services. The focus will be on interoperability with decentralized social networks (#Fediverse), leveraging the #ActivityPub plugin for #WordPress, which is currently integrated into the #Tainacan platform.

@evan @pfefferle @laurenshof @thisisaaronland oh thats not much time. Any way to extend the deadline so we can get you a wider net of people? Do you need someone local in Brazil for this or can it be remote? Also would the person be working in Portuguese?
in reply to wakest ⁂

@liaizon @evan @pfefferle @laurenshof @thisisaaronland
We won't be able to move the deadline. The job can be remote, but the communication consultant will have to work in Portuguese. For the tech part, we want to map the possibilities of collaboration with teams all around, and we hope it will be the start of a long collective journey.

More than 160 NGOs and trade unions urged the European Union (EU) to ban trade and business dealings with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The signatories include a range of NGOs, trade unions, and civil society organizations (CSOs).

The groups emphasized that such action is of utmost importance for the EU to comply with based on their obligations under international law.

As the song on the radio played, Arnold couldn’t help but wonder if this poor Taylor Swift girl would ever find true happiness. He made a mental note to send her one of his tennis balls when he got home.
