"Burchett would go on to interview some of the main protagonists of the Portuguese Revolution, including MFA leaders like Vasco Gonçalves, Ernesto de Melo Antunes and Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho. He zigzagged across the country, venturing into the inland northern region of Trás-os-Montes, to fishing towns like Peniche, and into the heart of the Alentejo region, in the south. His narrative is colourful and rich in detail, discussing the Portuguese Revolution in its national and international dimensions with the skill that only an experienced international correspondent could achieve. After decades of reporting from hotspots like China, Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia, the journalist was well positioned to understand the magnitude of the Portuguese revolutionary process and the disintegration of empire in the global context of the Cold War.

In a style reminiscent of George Orwell’s journalistic output in books like Homage to Catalonia or The Road to Wigan Pier, Burchett offers a mixture of reflection, analysis and intimate interviews with important historical protagonists of the revolutionary process in the capital, Lisbon, but also with average people in the provinces – farmers, fishermen, factory workers. As a result, he captured the zeitgeist of the revolution like few could. He unapologetically revealed his enthusiasm for the captains who led the coup and for the social mobilisations taking place in the streets, factories and farms around the country.

Burchett’s journalistic output during the Cold War was often labelled by his detractors as communist propaganda against the West. But Burchett always vehemently denied being a member of a communist party."

Just finished this paperback (the ebook version was too expensive, so I borrowed it from the library instead).

Fun novel, imagines the passengers and events aboard the train which - in the real world - crashed through and beyond Paris-Montparnasse Station in 1895. The author fleshes out the lives of those known to be aboard the train, and adds others. A good read.

In 2014, Iraq’s religious minorities suffered a devastating wave of attacks launched by Islamic State group fighters, who seized Mosul and the surrounding Nineveh Plains. In 2021, Pope Francis became the first pontiff to visit Iraq in a historic apostolic journey.

The Fisherman's Ring — the pope's signet, which devotees traditionally kiss to honor the pontiff — was defaced on Monday. It's a ritual that goes back to 1521 and has practical roots. The rings were once used as official seals for papal decrees, and destroying them prevented forgery. “It’s the equivalent of taking the login details away from a social media account,” said Christopher Lamb, @CNN's Vatican correspondent. Here's more on the history, how the rings are made, the unusual origins of Pope Francis's, and whether or not they should be kissed.

In 1775, hundreds of enslaved men in Virginia fled their plantations and joined the British in exchange for a single promise: freedom. They formed the Ethiopian Regiment—the first Black fighting force of the American Revolution. This is the story of how they marched under a banner that read Liberty to Slaves, and what became of them in a single, searing year.

Where did this idea that 'Physical #Media needs to Die' come from? I mean, WTF? This seems like more 'people who don't learn from #history' crap to me.

Do you know why the 'Dark Ages' is called the 'Dark Ages'? It's not because people were less literate than they were during the Roman Empire. It's because THEY STOPPED WRITING THINGS DOWN.

We call it the 'Dark Ages' because we have so few histories written during that time. But proof of #literacy exists:

WWII airfield that set stage for atomic bombing of Japan set for revival

The tiny Pacific island of Tinian was once used to cause the most devastating blast in human history. Now its 80-year-old airfield is being brought back to life, and locals fear history could repeat itself.

📣“If you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to do something .” - John Lewis (Feb 21, 1940 - July 17, 2020), a civil rights icon who served in Congress for more than three decades.

🇺🇸To those who stand against authoritarianism, hate, and fight for equality: You are the true patriots, and you inspire us all.

Ever wondered why the Swiss Guard still protects the Pope? Since 1506, these elite soldiers have served as the Vatican’s protectors — originally hired for their loyalty, discipline, and fierce combat skills.

Today, they still stand guard, symbolizing both tradition and security in a fast-changing world. The Pope may lead with peace, but he’s not without protection.

ZX Spectrum, Soviet Style: A 44-IC Clone you can build.

If you’ve ever fancied building a ZX Spectrum clone without hunting down ancient ULAs or soldering your way through 60+ chips, [Alex J. Lowry] has just dropped an exciting build. He has recreated the [Leningrad-1], a Spectrum clone from 1988, with a refreshingly low component count: 44 off-the-shelf ICs.

https://alex-j-lowry.github.io/leningrd.html

#zxspectrum #retrocomputing #engineer #media #history #programming #retro #tech #art #news
The original Leningrad-1 was designed by Sergey Zonov during the late Soviet era, when cloning Western tech was less about piracy and more about survival. Zonov’s design nailed a sweet spot between affordability and usability, with enough compatibility to run 90-95% of Spectrum software.
[ImageSource: Alex J. Lowry] [Alex]’s replica preserves that spirit, with a few 21st-century tweaks for builders: silkscreened component values, clever PCB stacking with nylon standoffs, and a DIY-friendly mechanical keyboard hack using transparent keycaps. All schematics, Gerbers and KiCad files are open-source, listed at the bottom of [Alex]’s build log. <https://alex-j-lowry.github.io/leningrd.html>

Those who act surprised by the actions of Trump administration, seem to have forgotten the dark history of police fascism in the US.

"The white man does not abide by the law...His police forces are the ultimate mockery of law."

-Dr. Martin Luther King, Winter 1968. A few months after saying these words, he was murdered by the police.

He warned them decades ago and was murdered for it.

Born in 1914, Hedy Lamarr was a famous American actress who pioneered the technology that would lead to WiFi, GPS, cell phones & Bluetooth communication.

Lamarr was brilliant. Among many fascinating inventions, she developed a new communication system with composer George Antheil that used “frequency hopping” among radio waves.

Once called the “most beautiful woman in the world," Lamarr is now remembered as "the mother of Wi-Fi."

"Sheriff J. H. Blair and his men came to our house in search of Sam – that's my husband – he was one of the union leaders. I was home alone with our seven children. They ransacked the whole house and then kept watch outside, waiting to shoot Sam down when he came back. But he didn't come home that night. Afterward I tore a sheet from a calendar on the wall and wrote the words to 'Which Side Are You On?' to an old Baptist hymn, 'Lay the Lily Low'. My songs always goes to the underdog – to the worker. I'm one of them and I feel like I've got to be with them. There's no such thing as neutral. You have to be on one side or the other. Some people say, 'I don't take sides – I'm neutral.' There's no such thing. In your mind you're on one side or the other. In Harlan County there wasn't no neutral. If you wasn't a gun thug, you was a union man. You had to be."
