☆ ‘Goosebumps’ Review: A Series of Safe Scares
  + stars: | 2023-10-15 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Zack Morris Photo: DisneyOK, Boomer, this one is really not for you. But the near-venerable “Goosebumps”— R.L. Stine ’s series of horror-fantasy fables first published in 1992—has seen enough film adaptations, comic books, video games and TV series that Generations X, Y and Z have always considered it a current event. Far grimmer than its near-contemporary Harry Potter , the “Goosebumps” oeuvre shares a similar appreciation for humor among the dark arts and has likewise been a target of censors outraged by its grooming of children to be witches, warlocks, satanists and acolytes of the occult. It is hardly meant to be taken so seriously.

☆ Analysis: Meta's 'friendly' Threads collides with unfriendly internet
  + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( Katie Paul | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Maintaining that idealistic vision for Threads - which attracted more than 70 million users in its first two days - is another story. To be sure, Meta Platforms (META.O) is no newbie at managing the rage-baiting, smut-posting internet hordes. For starters, the company will not extend its existing fact-checking program to Threads, spokesperson Christine Pai said in an emailed statement on Thursday. Asked by Reuters to explain why it was taking a different approach to misinformation on Threads, Meta declined to answer. INTO THE FEDIVERSEFurther challenges in moderating content are in store once Meta links Threads to the so-called fediverse, where users from servers operated by other non-Meta entities will be able to communicate with Threads users.

☆ The Kremlin wants everyone to chill out after firebrand nationalists and military honchos called for martial law in response to drone attacks on Moscow
  + stars: | 2023-06-01 | by ( Matthew Loh | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Russian firebrand leaders called for martial law after drone attacks reportedly struck Moscow. Imposing martial law is a "prerogative of the highest federal power," a spokesperson reminded the press. Kadyrov, known for issuing blistering, aggressive statements, decried Kyiv's leadership as "Nazis" and "Satanists," blaming them for the drone attacks. "The country must be put on martial law," Prigozhin said in a visit to Novosibirsk, per Sibkray News. On Tuesday, Russia's defense ministry said at least eight drone attacks had been launched at Moscow, resulting in minor damage to some residential neighborhoods.

A Russian video apparently seeking to recruit US spies is circulating on Telegram. The video was in response to the CIA's latest attempts to recruit Russian spies on Telegram.

A still from a Russian propaganda video apparently aimed at recruiting spies show President Joe Biden in crosshairs. The US seems keen to recruit Russians opposed to the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine, which has stalled amid steep casualties for the Russian military.

☆ A Republican lawmaker asked a lesbian colleague if she was a 'pedophile' during a debate over an equity and inclusion bill

A Republican lawmaker asked a lesbian colleague if she was a "pedophile" on Friday. The comment was made during a Rhode Island State House hearing on an equity and inclusion bill. During the hearing, Rep. Robert Quattrocchi, a Republican, raised his concerns that the bill was "very, very broad." "First, I want to point out that pedophile is not a sexual orientation," Kislak responded, adding that it was "really offensive." Kislak said that the interaction was an "example" of why the House needed to be discussing equity.
☆ Ukraine orders punitive measures on clerics with Moscow links
  + stars: | 2022-12-12 | by ( Nick Starkov | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
KYIV, Dec 12(Reuters) - Ukraine's top security officials have ordered punitive measures against seven senior clerics, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday, part of a crackdown on a branch of the Orthodox Church with longstanding ties to Moscow. The clerics are among Orthodox leaders known to have been sympathetic to Russia's portrayal of its 10-month-old invasion of Ukraine. The Moscow-linked church severed ties with the Russian Orthodox Church after the February invasion, but many Ukrainians remain deeply suspicious of its motives. The Russian church wholeheartedly backs the invasion. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev described the authorities in Kyiv as "satanists" and "enemies of Christ and the Orthodox faith".
☆ Ukrainian security service accuses Orthodox cleric of supporting Russia
  + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
KYIV, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Ukraine's SBU security service accused a senior Orthodox Christian cleric on Friday of engaging in anti-Ukrainian activity by supporting Russian policies in social media posts. The announcement followed a series of raids of property used by a Ukrainian branch of the Orthodox Church that is historically tied to Russia and has come under increasing pressure since Russia's invasion. The Orthodox Church in Russia has backed Moscow's invasion, and Kyiv says some clerics in Ukraine could be taking orders from Moscow. Orthodox Church officials in Ukraine did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Since the collapse of Soviet rule, tensions have been high between the Moscow-subordinated church and an independent Ukrainian church.
☆ Putin's supporters call for the liquidation of Ukraine as 'genocidal rhetoric' swells

Alexander Nemenov | Afp | Getty ImagesProminent supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin are using increasingly "genocidal rhetoric" when discussing and demonizing Ukrainians, analysts note, with some pro-war commentators cheering the concept of the "liquidation" of the modern state of Ukraine. "To be a 'Ukrainian' one does not even have to speak the Ukrainian language (which is also still being formed). "All this can be stopped only through the liquidation of Ukrainian statehood in its current form," Medvedev said. Another popular motif being used by pro-war, pro-Putin bloggers is characterizing Ukraine and Ukrainians as "evil" or "sadists" or "Satanists." "As ISW has previously reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin has similarly employed such genocidal language in a way that is fundamentally incompatible with calls for negotiations."
