Rafael Shimunov, the WFP's Creative Director, claimed that each exhibit of the Holocaust Museum was a "new trap" as the "under educated Black man was followed by rich white people waiting for him to say something offensive." Shimunov, a member of the anti-Israel hate group If Not Now, had previously also defended Keith Ellison and Linda Sarsour over their own anti-Semitic comments and history.
White isn't an "under educated Black man" victimized by the Holocaust Museum's exhibit "trap." He has an MA in Public Administration and a BA in Business Administration. He's a bigot. Not a victim.
But why would a senior figure in the WFP waste his time defending Trayon White's anti-Semitism?
Before Trayon White made headlines for his bizarre claims of Jewish weather control, he had been backed by lefty activist groups that are political allies of the WFP. White had been endorsed by D.C. for Democracy along with other anti-incumbent insurgents. He also received the backing of Jews United for Justice. There aren't a whole lot of Jews in Trayon's district, but, despite its name, JUFJ isn't really a Jewish group. Like the WFP, it's a Soros organization. And it kept trying to cover for Trayon.
But this sort of thing keeps happening to the Working Families Party.
Laurie Cumbo, a WFP endorsed New York City Council candidate, explained black anti-Semitic violence by claiming that Jews with "bags of money" were trying to force black people out.
"We don't want to ruin the lives of young people who are too young to understand," she said, of the attackers.
In early April, New York State Assemblywoman Diana Richardson allegedly made some nasty remarks about Jews. Richardson was the WFP's candidate. And its first big State Assembly win. The Jewish Press called on Richardson to resign. And I reached out to figures within the WFP to ask them to condemn her bigotry. There was no response. The WFP doesn't condemn anti-Semitism. Instead it defends it.
Linda Sarsour had praised Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. She even defended Farrakhan against accusations of anti-Semitism from, what she called, the "Jewish media." Her efforts to marginalize Jews, celebrating stone throwing against Jews and BDS activism were met with Jewish protests. Four top WFP officials, Dan Cantor, its National Director, Joe Dinkin, its National Communications Director, and Bill Lipton, its New York State Director, signed a letter defending her.
Cantor and the WFP have also been enthusiastic proponents of Keith Ellison even though the longtime former Nation of Islam member had a very ugly history of anti-Semitism. The Minnesota Daily opinion editor, Michael Olenick, had even described Ellison's writing as "a genuine threat to the long-term safety and well-being of the Jewish people." But that wasn't a problem for the Working Families Party.
And these incidents keep popping up around the WFP and its candidates.
Some years ago one of the WFP's field directors had to be fired from a state campaign over social media ugliness aimed at Israel. Next month, the Party pulled its support for the candidate's campaign.
The WFP operates on the margins of the far left. And its candidates, like Cynthia Nixon, its pick for New York governor, who signed a BDS petition by the anti-Israel JVP hate group, tend to be on the anti-Israel side of the aisle. Bill Lipton's social media and Rafael Shimunov's activism make it rather clear that top figures in the radical group share the left's traditional hostility to the Jewish State.
But the cases of Trayon White, Cumbo and Richardson show a comfort level with anti-Semitic bigotry in the black community that has nothing to do with Israel. Even Keith Ellison's old history of defending anti-Semitism by Khalid Abdul Muhammed ("that old no-good Jew, that old imposter Jew, that old hooked-nose, bagel-eating, lox-eating… just crawled out of the caves and hills of Europe, so-called damn Jew") to Joanne Jackson ("Jews are among the most racist white people I know") had nothing to do with Israel.
Women's March leaders like Tamika Mallory have tried to change the topic from anti-Semitism to Israel. But Farrakhan's anti-Semitism isn't motivated by Israel. The Nation of Islam predates the rebirth of the Jewish State. The stereotypes that Cumbo, White and Richardson are drawing on are even older.
And the left has a long, ugly history of trafficking in those stereotypes.
"What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money. Money is the jealous god of Israel, in the face of which no other god may exist," Karl Marx ranted.
Like some of the WFPers, Marx had Jewish ancestors, but that didn't interfere with his anti-Semitism.
The same idea was put forward by Pierre Leroux, who had coined the term 'Socialism', "When we speak of Jews, we mean the Jewish spirit, the spirit of profit, of lucre, of gain, the spirit of commerce."
Charles Fourier coined the term, "feminism". "The Jewish nation is not civilized," he wrote. "It devotes itself exclusively to traffic, to usury, and to mercantile depravity."
"Every government having regard to good morals ought to repress the Jews," he demanded.
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the father of anarchism, made him seem downright benevolent. "The Jew is the enemy of the human race. One must send this race back to Asia or exterminate it."
It's not hard to see how the racial nationalism and socialism of the Nazis emerged. And it's equally easy to see the same political elements at work among some of the WFP's anti-Semitic allies.
The Working Families Party doesn't have an anti-Semitism problem because of Israel. Neither does Jeremy Corbyn in the UK. The Labour Party's ugly history of anti-Semitism goes back to its roots in the National Socialist Party and Henry Hyndman. "The attack upon the Jews is a convenient cover for a more direct attack at an early date upon the great landlords and Christian capitalists," the founder of England's first Socialist political party had urged. Anti-Semitism is a class warfare political distraction.
When Rafael Shimunov defends anti-Semitism by talking about "rich white people", it's hard not to hear the historical echoes of the way that the left has always used class warfare to justify the hatred of Jews.
The conspiracy theories, Jews controlling the weather, may be goofier than ever, but Trayon White had fastened on a classic anti-Semitic obsession of the left. It's the very same one that touched off the latest round of condemnations of Corbyn's anti-Semitism in the UK. That's not a coincidence. It's a pattern.
The left knows that class warfare sells better when packaged with anti-Semitism. Israel is just an excuse. Using Jews as economic scapegoats appeals to the petty tribal bigotries of the districts that the WFP is after. The WFP tweets a lot about the Nazis even while it borrows their politics of racial resentment.
And that's why the Working Families Party has an anti-Semitism problem.

Who Is Rufus Sewell's Girlfriend Ami Komai? Inside His Dating History
Rufus Sewell is set to appear in the upcoming series Kaleidoscope.
English actor Rufus Sewell is best known for his role in The Man in the High Castle as American-turned-Nazi official John Smith.
Sewell is best known for playing villains in films such as A Knight's Tale, The Legend of Zorro, Bless the Child, Helen of Troy, and The Illusionist.
Similarly, he made his mark on television recently as Lord Melbourne on ITV's Victoria. In addition, the actor is set to play Roger Salas in the upcoming series Kaleidoscope.
Who is Rufus Sewell dating now?
Sewell has always managed to keep his personal life private. Therefore, he has only briefly discussed his dating life. However, it's no secret that he is currently in a romantic relationship with his girlfriend, Ami Komai.
The actor and Komai reportedly met on the set of the TV show The Eleventh Hour. However, the couple had not revealed when they first met. The couple has a daughter named Lola. As for Sewell's girlfriend, she is a hairstylist and the Editor-in-Chief of the online magazine Bright Lite.

After welcoming Lola, Sewell stated the importance of spending time with his children to the BBC while performing in the 2016 production of Art. He said that he would not have done the show if his daughter could not have joined him in London for Christmas. He said, "I couldn't have taken the job if that hadn't happened. It's the most important thing for me."
On the other hand, Komai revealed in an interview with The Weekendjaunts that the inspiration for Bright Lite came when she was pregnant with her daughter. When she gave birth to her daughter, some of her deepest insecurities surfaced, particularly those concerning gender. So she was terrified of being a mother to a young girl, and Bright Lite was her way of coping.
Moreover, Komai's goal in creating Bright Lite was to provide a space for people to communicate and support one another while navigating some of their lives most influential and frightening times.
Rufus Sewell and Ami Komai have significant age differences
Komai is 19 years younger than the actor; she is 36 years old as of 2022, and Sewell is 55 years old. Despite their significant age difference, the couple supports and understands each other.
Likewise, when Komai launched the Bright Lite website for the first time in 2018, the actor tweeted, "Bright Lite is Ami's (Lola's mum's) magazine for girls, by girls. Now she's launched the website. I think it's amazing." The actor has always been there for his girlfriend in whatever she does.
However, Sewell hasn't shared any photos of himself with his girlfriend on social media. As a result, we don't know whether the couple is together because they haven't posted anything about their relationship. But as nothing is confirmed, it's better to assume the love birds are still together.
Rufus Sewell has had two failed marriages
In Sewell's early years, he had a wild nightlife, smoked himself into a husky voice, and dated fellow Hollywood stars Helen McCrory, Kate Winslet, and Helena Bonham Carter.

The actor was in the first decade of his career when he met Australian fashion journalist Yasmin Abdallah. They started a fast-paced relationship that ended in marriage in 1999. However, the couple decided to divorce just one year after getting married.
Four years after his divorce from Abdallah, Sewell married producer and scriptwriter Amy Gardner in 2004. Before their marriage, the couple welcomed their son, William Douglas Sewell, in 2002. However, in 2006, the actor and Gardner divorced.

Alex Lagina is known for being a cast member on the reality television series The Curse of Oak Island, which airs on the History Channel.
The show follows a team of treasure hunters, including Alex and his father, Marty Lagina, as they explore Oak Island in Nova Scotia, Canada, in search of hidden treasures and historical artifacts.
There have been rumors circulating about Alex being married to the reality star Miriam Amirault on the internet. So, what's the truth? Learn in-depth about Alex Lagina and Miriam Amirault's wedding rumor, as well as Alex's dating history!
Are Alex Lagina and Miriam Amirault married?
The marital or dating status of Alex and Amirault remains unclear, with no available information about wedding pictures or details of their relationship.
Speculation among fans regarding a potential romantic connection between Amirault and Alex has arisen, but neither party has officially confirmed or denied any such relationship. Both Amirault and Alex seem to prefer keeping their personal lives private and away from public scrutiny.
Despite their apparent compatibility on the show, The Curse of Oak Island, fans are expressing happiness at their on-screen pairing and claims of a spark between them, the duo has maintained a private stance, avoiding disclosure of personal details on social media.
This reserved approach suggests their reluctance to share information with the public or media. Rumors flowing around about their marriage and wedding photographs are, however, untrue.
Lagina family and the Making of 'The Curse of Oak Island'
Alex, born in 1987 in Traverse, Michigan, USA, is recognized as an engineer, businessman, and reality TV personality. Alex, the son of Marty and M. Olivia Lagina, grew up with a sister in Traverse, Michigan.
Both of his parents have engineering backgrounds. After graduating from the University of Michigan's College of Engineering in 2008, Alex returned home to assist with the family business.

His father's interest in Oak Island was sparked by a 1965 'Reader's Digest' article, leading to the family's involvement in Oak Island Tours.
The Lagina family has invested significant time and resources into the exploration of Oak Island, which has been the subject of various theories and legends regarding buried treasure and mysterious structures for many years.
They are currently associated with the reality program The Curse of Oak Island. The show, featuring his father Marty and Uncle Rick, revolves around their quest to unravel the mysteries of Oak Island.
Alex's estimated net worth stands at $10 million, influenced in part by his father's substantial wealth of $50 million. His financial success is attributed to various ventures and is expected to grow as he continues his career.
Alex Lagina is quite private when it comes to sharing his dating life
Alex Lagina keeps his romantic life private, and public information about his dating history, wedding, or dating status is scarce. Sources suggest he is neither married to a wife nor dating a girlfriend.
Rumors also circulated about Alex's romantic involvement with fashion blogger and social media influencer Katherine Sneed, who shared travel photos with him on social media. In 2020, Katherine extended birthday wishes to Alex with a caption expressing anticipation of future travels together.
Additionally, he manages tours for Oak Island Tours Company and works as the general manager of the family's Villa Mari Vineyard in Traverse, Michigan.

Who is Miriam Amirault?
Amirault, known for her openness to exploring diverse interests, has garnered attention and admiration from fans, propelling her into the spotlight.
Amirault, an archaeologist, graduated from the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in the spring of 2020 with a Bachelor's Degree with honors in Anthropology and a major in Classical Studies.
Despite her evident passion and dedication to the field, she did not initially consider archaeology as her dream career but decided to pursue it on a whim. Her choice of studying at UNB was influenced by her father's connection to the alma mater, and she made this decision in her final year of school, possibly due to its proximity to her home in Digby, Nova Scotia.
In her second semester at the university, the archeologist embarked on on-field adventures in archaeology when Dr. Aaron Taylor invited her to participate in a dig in Cuba. This experience provided her with valuable insight into whether archaeology was a genuine interest, and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
This connection led her to become part of the History Channel's documentary series, a chance offered by Dr. Taylor after her graduation. Amirault, known for her diverse interests and openness to learning, quickly developed an interest in forensics while studying at UNB.
Following her appearance on The Curse of Oak Island, she expressed plans to study Forensics at Humber College, Toronto. As for her romantic life, not much information is available.
The Mystery of the Oak Island
Dating back to the early 1800s, the Oak Island mystery involves unexplained objects and rumored buried treasure in Nova Scotia's Oak Island. Numerous expeditions have sought artifacts and treasure, with theories ranging from pirate treasure to religious artifacts.
Despite discoveries of centuries-old items, the main treasure site, often referred to as the money pit, remains elusive. In 2014, the Lagina brothers were approached by TV producers to create a show documenting their treasure-seeking efforts on the island.
The show delves into Oak Island's history, discoveries, and various theories surrounding the hidden treasures. Notable areas explored include Borehole 10-x and Nolan's Cross. The show has run for 10 seasons, is currently on its 11th season, and briefly adopted the title The Curse of Oak Island: Drilling Down in 2016.
Pete Carroll's Wife and Children — Inside NFL Coach's Married Life
Pete Carroll's fist marriage lasted only for 2 years after which he remarried within a year.
Pete Carroll serves as an American football coach, currently holding the positions of head coach and executive vice president for the Seattle Seahawks in the National Football League (NFL).
Before his tenure with the Seahawks, Carroll served as the head football coach at USC from 2001 to 2009, achieving notable success with six bowl game victories and a National Championship in 2004.
Although he experienced limited success with the New York Jets in 1994 and the New England Patriots from 1997 to 1999 during his early professional coaching career, Carroll transitioned to college football with USC.
There, he successfully transformed the struggling program into a highly-ranked contender. Under Carroll's leadership, the Seahawks have made significant achievements.
Notably, the team's Legion of Boom defense, under Carroll, led the league in scoring defense for four consecutive seasons. Delve into his married life with details including his ex-wife, wife, children, and many more.
Peter Carroll's first marriage lasted for only two years
Carroll has had an interesting personal life, particularly in terms of his marriages. His first marriage was to Wendy Pearl in 1973, and despite keeping their relationship details private, the couple divorced in 1975 after only two years of marriage.
The specific reasons for their separation remain undisclosed, as Carroll and Wendy chose to keep their private matters away from the public eye. The ex-wife continued to stay away from the media and public attention and has deliberately maintained a low profile since the divorce.
After the brief marriage with Wendy, the football coach quickly remarried less than a year later. As per the source, this suggested that the NFL coach may have already been involved with his current wife during his divorce from Pearl.
In contrast to her previous visibility during her marriage to the NFL coach, Pearl has chosen to stay out of the limelight, possibly to avoid the relentless scrutiny that often comes with being associated with a public figure.
Pete Carroll married his current wife, Glena Goranson, within the year of the divorce
As for Carroll, he moved on from his first marriage and married Glena Goranson on May 21, 1976. The couple shares a connection through their shared background as college athletes. Born in the year 1955, she is 68 years old as of 2023.
Despite Carroll's prominent position in the limelight, the couple has chosen to keep their family life discreet. Clutch Points mentioned that Goranson pursued her education at the University of the Pacific, the same college attended by Carroll.
While Carroll was involved in football, Goranson played on the university's volleyball team. The couple exchanged wedding vows in 1976, and since then, the coach has made a conscious effort to shield their family's affairs from the public eye.
Pete Carroll and Glena Goranson have 3 children together
Since their marriage, the couple has welcomed three children: Brennan, Jamie, and Nate. Despite their efforts to maintain privacy, the family's achievements have made it challenging to stay out of the public sphere.
Brennan, presently serving as the offensive coordinator for the Arizona Wildcats, previously played as a tight end for the University of Pittsburgh.
He took on various roles within USC's football program under his father, starting as a graduate assistant and progressing to the positions of tight ends coach and recruitment coordinator by 2007. Brennan also contributed to the Seahawks staff before transitioning to the University of Arizona.
Jaime, a real estate professional, has a background that extends beyond her current profession. She previously played a significant role on the business side of Compete to Create, a performance institute founded by Carroll. Additionally, she showcased her athletic prowess as a valuable member of the USC volleyball team.
Nate, on the other hand, serves as the Senior Offensive Assistant for the Seattle Seahawks. Despite being a three-star athlete in high school, he chose to prioritize academics over playing college football.
After graduating from USC with a degree in Psychology, Nate received a job offer from his father to join the Seattle Seahawks after completing his education. Since then, he has been a consistent presence with the team, notably contributing to the Super Bowl victory alongside his father.
Pete Carroll faced a relationship controversy involving a college grad
Carroll's commitment to maintaining privacy in his family life once again became apparent in 2009 when rumors surfaced regarding the coach's personal life. The speculation emerged after comments from Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis suggested a possible connection between Carroll and a USC graduate student.

Carroll refuted these allegations, and no other credible sources were able to corroborate Weis' claims. Consequently, the rumors faded away without gaining significant traction.
Despite the challenges brought about by such rumors, there is undeniable evidence of the strong and special relationship between Carroll and Goranson. Their ability to weather the challenges of constant movement and stress associated with being a football coach speaks to the strength of their bond.
Pete Carroll excelled as a multisport athlete in high school
Carroll was born on September 15, 1951, in San Francisco, California, to Rita and James Edward. His paternal great-grandparents were Irish immigrants, while his Croatian maternal grandparents emigrated from the Šibenik region.
Raised in Greenbrae, California, he attended Greenbrae School and later went on to Redwood High School in Larkspur, California. Carroll excelled as a multi-sport athlete, participating in football (as a quarterback, wide receiver, and defensive back), basketball, and baseball.
His outstanding performance earned him the title of Athlete of the Year during his senior year in 1969, as mentioned by the LA Times. In recognition of his achievements, he was inducted into the charter class of the Redwood High School Athletic Hall of Fame in April 2009.
Following high school, Carroll began his college journey at the College of Marin, a junior college, where he played football for two years. He then transferred to the University of the Pacific, where he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
During his time at Pacific, Carroll played free safety for the Tigers, receiving All-Pacific Coast Athletic Association honors in both 1971 and 1972. In 1973, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
Fast-forward to the present, Carroll stands as one of three head coaches to achieve both a college football national championship and an NFL championship.

【Cantonese-style Mooncake with Red Bean Filling】

Mooncake is a Chinese traditional dessert for celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important holidays in the Chinese calendar. This year it falls on Sept. 27.

Puerto Rico voted for statehood on the status plebiscite November 6, 2012. The majority of the voters rejected the current Commonwealth status and voted for statehood. The plebiscite ballot had two questions. First voters had to choose whether they wanted the current status of Commonwealth to continue, and second, if voters rejected the Commonwealth status, voters had to choose one of three alternatives to the current status: statehood, independence and sovereign free association.
The rejection to the current status of Commonwealth got 54 percent of the votes and 46 percent favored the Commonwealth status. On the second part of the ballot, the choice of Statehood won with 61 percent of the votes, sovereign free association got 33 percent and independence got 5.5 percent of the votes.
The non-binding referendum would require final approval from Congress. Recently President Barack Obama had expressed support for the referendum and pledged to respect the will of the people in the event of a clear majority. The residents of Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens, but are prohibited from voting in presidential elections and Puerto Rico's resident commissioner in the U.S. House has no voting powers.
The vote for statehood has put Puerto Rico on the spotlight. Millions of people outside the island have become interested about the future of Puerto Rico. Some have mentioned, that Puerto Rico becoming the 51st state, could be an opportunity for the Republican Party to show inclusiveness to Hispanic voters. A petition has been posted on the White House website asking the Obama administration to take action on the results of the referendum in Puerto Rico. The petition wants to get 25,000 signatures. Here is the petition: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/act-puerto-rican-referendum-november-6-2012/c4tVBBlY

Did Newton "unweave the rainbow" by reducing it to its prismatic colors, as Keats contended? Did he, in other words, diminish beauty? Far from it, says acclaimed scientist Richard Dawkins; Newton's unweaving is the key to much of modern astronomy and to the breathtaking poetry of modern cosmology. Mysteries don't lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution often is more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mysteries. With the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a best-selling author, Dawkins takes up the most important and compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to language and virtual reality, combining them in a landmark statement of the human appetite for wonder.
This is the book Richard Dawkins was meant to write: a brilliant assessment of what science is (and isn't), a tribute to science not because it is useful but because it is uplifting.

As Russian troops intensify their assault on major Ukrainian cities, many people within Russia are choosing to speak out against the war.
The Russian independent human rights group OVD-Info reports that over 8,000 people have been arrested at anti-war protests across the country since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine last week.
Russia's legislature passed legislation Friday that imposes prison sentences of up to 15 years for those who criticize the war, which Russia's government only refers to as a "special operation." In response, the BBC and several other major news organizations stopped reporting in Russia.
Yulia Zhivtsova lives near Moscow and has been participating in the protests. She was already arrested by police once, at the very start of the protests. She insisted that NPR publish her full name, despite the potential threats to her safety.
"From what I've learned at school, when I was a child, we were always taught that Kyiv was the mother of all Russian cities ...," she said. "So it's quite a horrible thing to realize that one day you wake up, and your tanks are going into Kyiv. ... It's just like a very, very bad dream."
She spoke with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly. Below are highlights of the interview edited for length and clarity.
On what the protests are like
They just happen spontaneously.
Before it was more disorganized than probably right now. But the problem is that the measures that have been taken by the government are getting tougher and tougher, they are introducing some new laws. Like if, even if you post something like, "Please go out and protest against the war," you can go to jail. ... You might face criminal charges, not some administrative, whatever it is.
But when it all started a week ago, it looked a bit less, I don't know, dangerous. So I was arrested on the very first day. So on the 24th of February, on Thursday, and I was one of the first being detained, because the moment I heard about the news, I decided that I needed to do something. So I went to Pushkin Square, maybe not in the morning, but as soon as I could.
Who is going to the protests?
Very different people, and even some people who ... [saw] the Second World War, and it was quite, quite stupid and quite annoying to see those people arrested as well. So they're called, like, "Children of War." So those are the people who saw the actual, well, the previous war, but as children. So they are very old now, like 80 or something like that. ...
I know that some people like that were arrested and it has been reported. Also, there is horrible news about children being arrested because they were with their parents, protesting as well. ... They were just with their parents. So they all go to the police station, and the pictures are quite horrifying. So people of very different ages.
What was it like to get arrested, the very first day of Russia's full-scale invasion?
It's not an arrest. It's a detainment. So they let me go the same evening, so I did not stay the night at the police station. So now I'm facing some fine, something like that. So I'm waiting for my hearing.
I did not have any posters or anything like that. Usually if you have a poster you get arrested right away, even if it's just a blank piece of paper. So what I did was I got two Harry Potter books. One is from Hufflepuff, which is yellow, and another one from Ravenclaw, which is blue. So the yellow and blue editions. And I was just reading those two books at Pushkin Square. So it looked like the Ukrainian flag. ... So for about an hour, the police did not know what to do with me because it was quite unusual. But then yeah, they decided to just take me to the police station.
I was just reading about the Dark Lord ascending. And I think it's quite well, funny. If we may call anything funny these days.
Why protest? Why did you want to be out there on that day in particular?
Russia and the Ukraine are kind of very close countries, we're historically tied. And it's not that we want to go to war with each other. So that's the obvious reason, I think.
From what I've learned at school, when I was a child, we were always taught that Kyiv was the mother of all Russian cities. That's what we study in our history books. So it's quite a horrible thing to realize that one day you wake up, and your tanks are going into Kyiv. ... It's just like a very, very bad dream.
You've been protesting the Putin government for close to a decade. Do these protests feel the same? Do they feel different?
No, it feels very different. Because there are very many people who have never protested before, on one hand. But on the other hand, the protests, they seem more dangerous, because of what's going on now.
So too many people got arrested. Also it's been going on for already a week. And it's still going on, and people are getting arrested again and again. So it seems a bit more dangerous. Already they are introducing some new laws. And it doesn't look very nice, but people are still going out. And that's nice to know. ... But it feels different. It feels that people are much angrier. And much more scared, at the same time. ...
And people who are getting arrested for the first time, they really did not realize that it is possible to just have a poster that says "No to war" and end up at the police station. They really did not think that this was possible in our country. So they are quite surprised.
Do you believe there are more people in Russia who oppose this war than the size of protests might indicate?
Yeah, of course, there are very many people who are, like, waiting for something to happen and then just to join in. They don't want to get arrested. They don't want to lose their jobs...
But on the other hand, there are still very many people who do believe all in all the propaganda nonsense, and well unfortunately, there are also quite many of them. I mean, even my dad is quite pro-Putin these days. And he says he's ashamed of me or something like that.
Most of my friends, ... most of the people I know, do not support the war. But still there are people who believe it's a good cause, or whatever they were told from TV. And this is very sad. It's very annoying, especially if it is somebody from your family.
What are those conversations like with your dad, who you said is pro-Putin and said he is ashamed of you? That must be very hard.
Oh, I just told him that I would block him for a while. And if he needs something, he may call me. ...
So probably, I'll see him this weekend. Probably I'll just avoid having any conversations because, well, when it comes to politics, it's very difficult to talk to him.
Do you worry about speaking critically of Putin and doing so publicly? Do you worry about risk or repercussions for you or your family?
On one hand, yes, of course. But on the other hand, the situation has changed dramatically over the past few years. So now, unfortunately, you can't say that you are safe if you don't speak out. Unfortunately, now, it's kind of a lottery. And you can get detained somewhere near the protests if you're not participating in them for real. ...
So there's no point, like keeping silence. ...
There are many stories about different bloggers getting arrested, even being put into jail for some stupid things that they did many years ago, before some law even existed. For example, like it happened to Khovansky. ...
And this is very silly, because he was never against Putin, at least not openly. ... But somehow somebody complained, and he got arrested for something that he did very many years ago when the charges that he's facing did not even exist. So when people see that, they realize how crazy it all is now. So there's no point. So if I keep silent, I'm still not safe. That's the issue. And more and more people are realizing now that keeping silent doesn't actually help.
As someone who opposes war with Ukraine but could suffer from sanctions that affect the Russian economy, what does you think about Western sanctions on Russia?
I think the main sanctions that I would support are the sanctions against Putin's friends. ... different people from the government and oligarchs, etc.
I really hope that very soon, they might just get annoyed by not being able to use their money abroad, by not being able to go abroad, or send their children to, I don't know, Harvard or wherever. And maybe that will make them stop Putin somehow, tell him that he needs to stop.
Because I don't think the usual people, the usual protesters, can actually do anything in this case. When I go and protest, it's not because I think Putin will look down at me and say, "Oh, there are too many people, I'll stop." Well, that's nonsense. We won't have enough people because everybody's too afraid. So it's more for the future generations like, "You see? I was out there. I was protesting. I was against this."

I've got Xenon headlights and my car has a feature which automatically turns the headlights on at night. Currently I'm hesitant to use the auto-on feature because the headlights turn on when I start the car in the garage or park in the garage.
I know flicking on/off lightbulbs harm them in general, and I don't want to burn out the expensive bulbs. However HID bulbs don't have filaments if I read correctly, so I don't know if they'll burn out for the same reason.
The headlights come on unnecessarily about twice a day if I enable the auto-headlight feature. Will this significantly impact the life of the bulbs?
