Me: *has intrusive thought*

Magic rock: Don't

Me: OK, fine.

you got a magic rock as a kid that was meant to teach you the “magic words” of please and thank you by reminding you whenever it’s appropriate. Now though it’s begun to recommend whole paragraphs whenever you’re in a sticky situation. The best part is following it’s advice always works out best

One very important note on the immense value of the Internet Archive that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

It crawls major newspapers like the New York Times multiple times per day.

For anything other than one of those scrolling updates breaking news pages, you can access it from the Archive usually within an hour or two of it being published. No paywall. You want international news? You got it. Opinion? That too. Recipes? It's all here. Page not yet archived? There's a button for that and now you got it.

There are various paywall-evading extensions and tricks out there, but they don't always work. This does.

Go forth and read the newspaper.

Part 2 of a comic done in brownish red pencil. With explosions and a building in the background, a tank enters the area. Closest to the viewer, a scared man is running, seen from the front and chest up. Behind, in front of the tank, the shape of a hijabi woman is clutching a baby, running away to the right. Some ways behind her, another figure is running in the same direction. The text above says "My daughter Soma was born there". The text below says "Two days later, we were bombed".

Part 3 of a comic done in brownish red pencil. With an explosion shape in the background, Dr Huda is running with Soma in her arms, both squeezing their eyes shut in fear and distress. The text above says "I carried her as I ran". The text below says "She nearly fell from my arms more than once".

Part 4 of a comic done in brownish red pencil. Soma, in her mouth a pacifier with three stars on it, is looking out from between blankets. She looks tired. The text above says "Now, she suffers from vomiting and blood in her stool". The text below says "The dirty water has given us both severe gastroenteritis".

A photo of Dr. Huda holding her baby, Soma. Dr. Huda wears a dark blue hijab, a doctor's coat and a stethoscope. She has pale skin, dark eyes and dark brows. Soma, clutched to her mother's side in a white blanket, has a small amount of light hair and chubby cheeks, smiling in the photo. Behind them, two blue-beige rugs and a pink sheet are seen making up part of the structure of a tent. Below and to the left is a dark-colored basket or baby carrier, either way lined with blankets.

— Talk about Sudan now!! 🇸🇩🇵🇸 ياسمين (@Kandakat_alhaqq) February 7, 2024

I received this distressing message from a civilian trapped in the village of Fadasi, Gezira:

The RSF is terrorising the village, invading homes and looting. They are conducting arrests. If they see you with a phone, they will steal it on sight.#KeepEyesOnSudan#TalkAboutSudan pic.twitter.com/89zgTOzRT4

48 million people in Sudan still can not contact their families across the diaspora. They're cut off from the internet, which includes their online banking services as well. Thousands of displaced Sudanese people were also recently turned away as asylum seekers:
