Social media platforms tread carefully when it comes to the Russian government---- By Brian Fung,

Why Ukraine war misinformation is so hard to police Social media platforms tread carefully when it comes to the Russian government By Brian Fung, (CNN Business)As its troops have gotten bogged down in Ukraine, the Russian government has been fueling a conspiracy theory on social media about the purpose of US-funded biolabs in Ukraine. In posts spread across Facebook, Twitter and YouTube viewed by CNN this week, Russia's foreign and defense ministries have repeated claims that Ukraine had been researching biological weapons — an assertion that's previously been rejected as false by the United States, its allies and a top United Nations disarmament official. In fact, the US-supported labs are part of a program to develop vaccines and perform peaceful research, the United States has said, while White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has described the Russian claim as "propaganda" and a potential pretext for Russia to deploy chemical or biological weapons itself in Ukraine...

Jolly Monday On … Er … What’s That Day??? by jilldennison

  Jolly Monday On … Er … What’s That Day??? by jilldennison Today is February 14th which means it is Valentine's Day ... whoopee.  I guess I'm not a very romantic person, for I've always found Valentine's Day to be rather silly, but ... this year, we need all the love, joy, and humour we can get in our lives, so for what I believe is the first time in my blogging career, I am doing a Valentine's Day post.  But before we get started, I believe that Joyful has whipped us up some Valentine's treats, so grab a snack from the table ... And for our favourite bacon-lovers ... I considered starting this post with a brief history of this day, but it turns out the history of Valentine's Day is anything but brief!  Suffice it to say that way back in the days of Ancient Rome, it was a tradition for men to beat women with animal hides on this day!  Yep, according to an article I found in NPR ... "The men sacrificed a goat and a dog, then whipped women with the hides...
