This is USPol and global pol; bear with me.

There's a Jack London short story, “To Build a Fire".

I read it 40+ years ago, but it's stuck with me.

My takeaway was "his failing was that he had no imagination", in the sense that he could not easily visualize his situation going from bad to worse.

I see this failing constantly in the current crisis in the US.

Some people keep trying to "spell it out" ... "*The Handmaid's Tale* was supposed to be a warning" ... this is how we go from Guantanamo to Dachau", etc.

And most people tune it out.

It's hyperbole ... people being hysterical ... it must be. Things'll get better, someone will do something.

They don't ... can't? ... refuse to? ... see that path we're on, even now, well past the halfway point "from here to there".

Oh, hey. Look at that. That London story is on the #InternetArchive .

@tagesschau Es gibt derzeit eine Menge Freiwillige, die Forschungsdaten retten. Folgt @SafeguardingResearch und @internetarchive für mehr Info! Wäre auch mal einen Artikel wert, was Freiwillige im #Widerstand leisten.

Das Wort wird zwar gern überstrapaziert, aber staatlich, noch dazu von der Regierung angeordnete Löschung aus politischen Gründen ist tatsächlich ganz eindeutig Zensur: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zensur_(

I don't wanna bother the people of the Internet Archive, are there any experts here who can explain this?

s. a. Screenshot from the Internet Archive showing a page clearly marked with the symbol for audio files but it is only showing the infromation of the record sleeve and booklet, no audio files available. There is also the information: This item is available with audio samples only; which is even more confusing.

Why?

"According to Graham, based on the big jump in page views he's observed over the past two months, the Internet Archive is drawing many more visitors than usual to its services — journalists, researchers and other inquiring minds. Some want to consult the archive for information lost or changed in the purge, while others aim to contribute to the archival process.

"There's a groundswell of support for the Internet Archive because of the dramatic shift that's going on in parts of the government web infrastructure that you wouldn't imagine would change," said Brewster Kahle, the founder and current director of the Internet Archive. "People are coming and rallying behind us — by using it, by pointing at things, helping organize things, by submitting content to be archived — data sets that are under threat or have been taken down."

Nancy Krieger, a social epidemiologist at Harvard University who likened the purge to "a digital book burning" in a February interview with NPR's Ailsa Chang, is one of them. She's teamed up with other scientists to try to preserve federal health data that has recently disappeared from government websites. She helped develop a list of terms to send to the Internet Archive to aid the search and preservation effort.

"We want to preserve public health data that are crucial for people's well-being," she told NPR."

Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.

Found out yesterday that Django Rest Framework has set all GitHub issues and pulls to hidden. I don't know enough about what that action is trying to solve to have an opinion...

BUT...

Thanks to the WayBackMachine, I can still "see" one of the bugs I've opened that I'm most proud of: web.archive.org/web/2023040814

Thanks #InternetArchive

I just finished The Dust of Egypt by Seabury Quinn. It's a pulp adventure tale from 1930. It's got mummies, mesmerism, murder and a weird, almost Jungian, obsession with the physical manifestation of the subconscious. Interestingly, for the time, it takes a dim view of looting masquerading as archeology. Check it out! #pulp #books #egypt #internetarchive

Update. "As the Trump administration purges web pages, this group is rushing to save them"
npr.org/2025/03/23/nx-s1-53265

"After President Trump's inauguration in January, some federal web pages vanished. While…were removed entirely, many came back online with changes that…officials said were made to conform to Trump's executive orders to remove "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility policies." Thousands of datasets were wiped — mostly at agencies focused on science and the environment…Information about climate change, reproductive health, gender identity and sexual orientation also have been on the chopping block…The #InternetArchive [@internetarchive] is among the few efforts that exist to catch the stuff that falls through the digital cracks, while also making that information accessible to the public. Six weeks into the new administration, #WaybackMachine director Graham said, the Internet Archive had cataloged some 73,000 web pages that had existed on U.S. government websites that were expunged after Trump's inauguration."
