1. What is the Small Web?
  
  Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. But that doesn’t mean you can’t watch it! You can download Small Is Beautiful #23 directly, and watch it with your favourite video player. Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it? Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about:

"'I do not think we should be appropriating $10.1 billion for the right-wing, extremist Netanyahu government to continue its current military approach. What the Netanyahu government is doing is immoral, it is in violation of international law, and the United States should not be complicit in those actions,' Sanders argued on the Senate floor."

"'We need to take this very seriously as a society,' [Monika Mitra, who directs the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy at Brandeis University] said. 'We need to understand who these people are, how they’re being impacted and what we can do about it.'"
Doing everything you can to avoid spreading the virus is a great start

1. From the linked New York Times article published November 13, 2023: Can't Think, Can't Remember: More Americans Say They're in a Cognitive Fog Adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s are driving the trend. Researchers point to long Covid as a major cause. By Francesca Paris In reporting for this article, Francesca Paris talked to 16 researchers and medical professionals who study disability, long Covid, cognition and census data. There are more Americans who say they have serious cognitive problems - with remembering, concentrating or making decisions - than at any time in the last 15 years, data from the Census Bureau shows. The increase started with the pandemic: The number of working- age adults reporting "serious difficulty" thinking has climbed by an estimated one million people. About as many adults ages 18 to 64 now report severe cognitive issues as report trouble walking or taking the stairs, for the first time since the bureau started asking the questions each month in the 2000s.

1. From the linked Nation article by Chalmers Johnson on September 27, 2001: On the day after the September 11 attack, Democratic Senator Zell Miller of Georgia declared, “I say, bomb the hell out of them. If there’s collateral damage, so be it.” “Collateral damage” is another of those hateful euphemisms invented by our military to prettify its killing of the defenseless. It is the term Pentagon spokesmen use to refer to the Serb and Iraqi civilians who were killed or maimed by bombs from high-flying American warplanes in our campaigns against Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein. It is the kind of word our new ambassador to the United Nations, John Negroponte, might have used in the 1980s to explain the slaughter of peasants, Indians and church workers by American-backed right-wing death squads in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua while he was ambassador to Honduras. These activities made the Reagan years the worst decade for Central America since the Spanish conquest.
