russia is offering governments in #Africa a "regime survival package" in exchange for access to strategically important natural resources, a major new report has found.

Internal russian government documents, seen by the BBC, also detail how it is working to change mining laws in West Africa, with the ambition of dislodging Western companies from an area of strategic importance.

Beloved #toys: a pair of #Roman ivory #dolls with articulated arms and legs found in a tomb of a little #girl from a wealthy family in Emona, Ljubljana/#Slovenia. The majority of the dolls in Roman times were made of less valuable materials such as clay, wood or linen.
The two dolls that could be dressed with clothes must have been very precious to the girl who died far too young.

Being of a certain age, the number of classic jazz records I didn't know about are limited, but thanks to @marksmotroff.bsky.social's contagious enthusiasms, I got turned on to Gene Ammons' "Blue Gene," which is not only hip AF, the production is crystalline. Damn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=zjzmbq5MtlGXnfLI&v=miU6PZGwl0U&feature=youtu.be

Thee's a point Cecil Brown makes in "Stagolee Shot Billy" that is maybe less relevant, but still relevant.

From a musicology perspective, a lot of marginalized, poor or working-class groups take to murder ballads - whether it's Johnny Cash shooting a man in Reno, Tom Dooley laying his head down, or Stack Lee shooting Billy for his Stetson hat. It combines a fatalist outlook on living conditions with self-sufficiency, and outlaw justice where there isn't other justice.

やれることはやれるだけやろうということで、こちらでも掲げさせてください。
