Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth; And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.

  • Yesterday zelensky's right hand man Yermak tells the Atlantic that no territorial concessions are acceptable to zelensky/ukraine

    Volodymyr Zelensky, in the next phase of talks to end the war in Ukraine, intends to draw a red line at the most contentious issue on the table: the Russian demand for Ukraine’s sovereign territory. As long as he remains the nation’s president, Zelensky will not agree to give up land in exchange for peace, Ukraine’s chief negotiator, Andriy Yermak, told me today in an exclusive interview.

    By appointing him to lead Ukraine’s negotiating team despite the scandal, Zelensky made clear to the people of Ukraine that Yermak continues to enjoy his trust, he said. The people of Ukraine “see that I have been beside the president all these years during all the most difficult, tragic, and dangerous moments,” Yermak said. “He trusted me with these negotiations that will decide the fate of our country. And if people support the president, that should answer all their questions.”

    Today, Yermak's offices are being raided by NABU, the more western/NGO aligned anti-corruption force that Zelensky tried to take over and hobble earlier in the summer

    The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) are conducting searches at the office of Andrii Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, in the government district on the morning of 28 November.

    Seems like things are going well

    Edit: and yermak has resigned

  • The Guardian: Canada: ‘Inconvenient Indian’ author Thomas King says he is not Indigenous

    Jump

  • I'm not sure it's relevant to this particular case, but I think in discussions of who is Indigenous or not, it's important to understand the politics and history of using blood/DNA analysis to answer that question. The question of 'Who is Indigenous?' has been used extensively by settler states to exclude/legally separate people from their Indigenous identity, such as Canada and the legal implementation of the Indian Act. For example:

    The Gradual Enfranchisement Act in 1869 and the first Indian Act in 1876 introduced a narrower definition of an Indian. These early post-Confederation laws established sex-based criteria, specifically rules of descent through the male lines in the definition of Indian. Women and children were usually included under the man's name and not as separate individuals under the legislation. Further, the legislation removed Indian status from an Indian woman who married a non-Indian man and also prevented their children and future descendants from acquiring Indian status and the associated benefits. Therefore, beginning in 1869, the definition of Indian was no longer based on First Nations kinship and community ties but instead, built on the predominance of men over women and children, and aimed to remove families headed by a non-Indian man from First Nations communities.

    The Assembly of First Nations in Canada, a sort of Canada wide group that advocates for First Nations governments, has this to say about the topic in their guide to how Nations can develop their own membership codes:

    Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the question of whether a certain person “belonged” to a First Nation was determined by the cultural rules and practices of that particular nation. In the 1850s, however, the governments of the Canadian colonies began to use laws to establish which individuals, in the government’s view, validly belonged to a particular group of First Nations people. These rules, which eventually became part of the first Indian Acts, had little or nothing to do with the cultural practices and family structures of First Nations peoples. Rather, the colonial, and later federal, legislators defined who was an “Indian” according to their own stereotypes and priorities. They then used the power of the law and the state to enforce their definitions, despite the disconnect of these definitions from First Nations peoples lived realities. These actions caused irreparable harm to First Nations peoples, harm which is still being suffered today.

    Since the amendments to the Indian Act in 1985, those First Nations had the power to adopt their own membership codes to define who will be considered a member of their community. While this change allowed First Nations some autonomy over how membership in the community is determined, there remain many legal rules that limit what a band can do in a membership code. In light of the continuing disconnect between who the law claims is a “Status Indian” and the cultural understandings of belonging that exist at the grassroots level, changes to the Indian status and band membership provisions of the Indian Act following the judgments of Canadian courts in McIvor and Descheneaux, an increasing number of First Nations are interested in finding out more about what they can do to exercise some control over who and who does not “belong” to their community.

    I am aware of some Indigenous Nations in Canada that recognize membership through community ties (i.e. without blood relation).

  • not directly relevant but one of my favourite wild animal interactions was a time when I was kayaking and came upon a mom and pup seal sunning themselves on the rocks. I could tell mom was nervous so I didn't want to get close and scare them, but the two of them were very cute so I didn't want to leave. First I paddled past and gave them space, panning across them without staring, to make it clear that I saw them but wasn't reacting like a predator. Then a loud speed boat came along and I could tell that agitated mom, so I positioned myself between the boat and the seals and faced away from them, demonstrating that I was also concerned about the boat. That really landed and they relaxed, so after that, I let the current push me back along the shore closer to the seals.

    this was them. ultimately I got about 25' away and we just vibed for 20 minutes while I drifted around.

  • On the other hand, this is going to cause a significant ad revenue loss for the Russian content creators.

    I thought that demonetization of Russian YouTube channels happened already as part of the initial response to the invasion of ukraine in 2022.

    3 March 2022: Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, we will be temporarily pausing Google and YouTube ads from serving to users located in Russia. We're also pausing access to all monetisation features (such as channel memberships, Super Chat, Super Stickers and Merch) for viewers in Russia.
