Теперь статья попала в "Лучшие материалы за неделю". Приятно. Очень крутой экспириенс от VC в итоге. Но, как некоторые заметили, у меня довольно кликбейтная тема, не думаю что там зашла бы статья с обзором колонки или личным мнением в сфере урбанистики.
Тем временем, продолжаю поиски формата для себя. Отбросил вариант с Instagram Reels — я полистал пару недель и надоело. Очень однообразные вещи там, с одинаковой музыкой, некоторые повторяются. Видно, что алгоритмы работают топорно: 90% контента это просто популярные ролики из небольшого количества заданных категорий, а 10% это попытка вмешать случайные непопулярные ролики из тех же категорий. Качество проваливается мгновенно. Снимают, например, на крутом популярном видео вид на горы: там и цветкор, и чистота картинки, и динамика, и композиция. На непопулярном видео тоже вид на горы: скучный однообразный с телефона, без смены ракурса, без синхронизации с музыкой итд. Всё-таки не просто так популярные вещи таковыми становятся.
Ну и вертикальность, опять же. Многие стали считать, что это якобы удобно, и тут я бы сказал про конспирологическое смещение "Окна Овертона", но на самом деле Стокгольмский Синдром, конечно же. У нас нет выбора в современном интернете, и мы пытаемся убеждать себя, что вертикальное видео это нормально, раз его записывают и смотрят на телефоне.
Пожалуй, всерьёз я не попробовал только подкасты и дорогие ютубные видео. Я уверен, что последние оправдают мои ожидания: и система рекомендаций и качество контента на ютубе пока что выше, чем на всех остальных UGC-порталах. Ладно, на VC и Хабре ещё выше, но уж очень узкоспециализировано. Текстовые же порталы широкого профиля или помойка (Дзен) или мертвы и заброшены своими владельцами (ЖЖ, Teletype).
Но у меня совершенно нет времени на такой продакшен, которого требует ютуб. Ни по вечерам, ни по выходным, ни в отпуске. Я смогу выпускать 1 видео в полгода, в таком ритме каналы не выживают.
С подкастами другое дело — помимо понятной проблемы (невозможно рассказывать ни о чём, что требует визуала) — даже если у меня получится говорить интересно и записывать это качественно, никакой единой экосистемы для них так и не появилось. Кто-то слушает в Apple, кто-то в Яндекс.Музыке, кто-то даже ВКонтакте. Учитывая, что мне, как автору, интереснее всего обратная связь — собирать её с 10 площадок будет крайне муторно.
Но одно ясно — Телеграм идёт сильно ниже ожиданий, так что этот канал рано или поздно будет закрыт, простите. Наверное, глупо было игнорировать тот факт, что я сам не читаю другие каналы, а значит мне или неудобно, или скучно, или и то и другое.

German police summons Princeton University and Berlin Free University researcher, Taqadum al-Khatib, for interrogation after he published a post on his X account stating that “Surviving a #Holocaust doesn’t give you the right to enact another”.

The harassment and imprisonment of Alison Chabloz over light-hearted humour and differing opinion to the official #Holocaust narrative only proves who's pulling the strings.

🎙Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27, 2026)
💬 Adopted in 2005, UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/60/7 provided for designatingJanuary 27 as International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.
☝️ Russia was among the co-sponsors who initiated the adoption of this document.
It contains the following wording:“Holocaust, which resulted in the murder of one third of the Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities, will forever be a warning to all people of the dangers of hatred, bigotry, racism and prejudice.”
There was a reason to mark this day on January 27. #OTD in 1945, the forces of the Red Army’s 1st Ukrainian Front under Ivan Konev’s command liberated #AuschwitzBirkenau(Oswiecim) and saved the surviving prisoners.
This resolution also conveyed a sense of respect and admiration within the international community towards the courage and selflessnessby the soldiers who liberated this concentration camp.
On January 26, 2026, members of Russia’s foreign missions in Poland laid wreaths to a mass grave of the Red Army personnel at the local parish cemetery in Oswiecim to commemorate their feats. These servicemen died in January 1945 while fighting to liberate this town and its suburbs.
🌟In 2025, Russia and all the progressive forces around the world marked #Victory80. It is our country, including all the nations within the former USSR, that made a decisive contribution to destroying Hitler’s war machine, liberating Europe and the entire world from the so-called brown plague, even if this came at an incredible cost and required an all-out effort and all the resources we had.
The #Holocaust, i.e., the mass extermination of Jews and other minorities, was one of the most tragic events of the 20th century. It will always remain inscribed in the history of humankind as a symbol of unprecedented and unspeakably cruel attempt at fulfilling a human-hating ideology. This history teaches a terrifying lesson and serves as a warning which shows where the ideas of supremacy, exceptionalism, segregation by religion, race and other attributes can lead. <...>
Russia takes great care to keep alive the memory of the many millions of victims who perished during #WWII, which we call the Great Patriotic War, as well as the memory of the feat accomplished by the Soviet liberator soldiers who stopped the Nazis and extinguished the fire of the Holocaust.
Our country paid an excessively high price to allow anyone to question or challenge the #GreatVictory. We will do everything we can to ensure that horrendous crimes of this kind never happen again. Russia is firm and resolved in its commitment to countering any attempts to falsify facts about World War II and rehabilitate Nazism.
<...>
Today, the Russian Jewish Congress, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia and other specialised entities are making an invaluable contribution to preserving the memory of Holocaust victims around the world. The Foreign Ministry has been closely and effectively collaborating with them.
As usual, there will be many events in Russia to mark this day. On January 14-31, our country holds the annual Holocaust Remembrance Week, while the Russian Jewish Congress awards the Memory Keepers award which celebrates exceptional contributions to preserving the memory of the Holocaust.
As part of the Remembrance Week, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art will open an exhibition on January 28 titled “Dmitry Lion. Procession.” It is timed to coincide with the 100th birthday of one of the key figures in post-war Soviet art for whom the tragedy of the Holocaust served as a starting point in his creative journey.

💔🇵🇸#The#Rafah#Holocaust
Horrific scenes is unfolding of the massacre committed by the criminal #Israeli occupation army with 8 missiles targeting displaced people in the vicinity of the #UNRWA agency's headquarters, northwest of Rafah, southern #Gaza
First footage depicts the moment when #Israeli occupation aircraft dropped missiles at displaced Palestinians' barracks belonging to the #UNRWA site in the Tal Al-Sultan area of Rafah City, killing more than 50 displaced civilians, including innocent children.
A child's head and legs were decapitated due to #Israeli missiles dropped on a displacement center in Rafah, where entire families were completely wiped out in this massacre, with women, children, and the elderly burned to death.
Civil Defense to Al Jazeera:
"We believe that the occupation army used internationally prohibited weapons to target the displaced in Rafah, judging by the size of the fires that erupted at the targeted site."

Is Musk a Nazi? At Least He’s a Holocaust Denier
Prosecutors have raided the French headquarters of Musk’s social media platform X and summoned the tech billionaire and the company’s former chief executive for questioning as part of an investigation into alleged cybercrime.
“A search is under way by the cybercrime unit of the Paris prosecutor’s office, the national police cyber unit and Europol,” the Paris prosecutors’ office said in a post on X on Tuesday, adding that it would no longer be publishing on the network.
It said in a statement that Musk and Linda Yaccarino had been summoned for “voluntary questioning” in their capacity as “de facto and de jure managers of the X platform at the time of the events”. Yaccarino resigned as chief executive of X in July last year.
The raid is part of an investigation launched in January last year into the suspected abuse of algorithms and fraudulent data extraction, which the prosecutor’s office said it had now widened to cover complaints about X’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok.
It said the alleged offences it was investigating now included complicity in the possession and organised distribution of child abuse images, violation of image rights through sexualised deepfakes, and denial of crimes against humanity.
Other possible charges included fraudulent data extraction from, and falsified operation of, an automated data processing system by an organised group, and operation of an illegal online platform by an organised group, the statement said.
French authorities launched the investigation after the centre-right MP Éric Bothorel filed a complaint alleging that biased algorithms on the platform were likely to have distorted its data processing system and affected the kind of content it recommended.
Bothorel complained of a “reduced diversity of voices” and Musk’s “personal interventions” in X’s management since he bought it in 2022. Another complaint said the changes had led to a surge in “nauseating political content”.
Prosecutors said in November that they were expanding the investigation to include the behaviour of Grok, which allegedly engaged in Holocaust denial, advancing false claims commonly made by people who deny Nazi Germany murdered 6 million Jews.
The chatbot has since caused outrage by allowing users to “strip” clothed people, including children, in photos through AI image generation and editing.
The EU has launched an investigtion into its production and dissemination of sexualised deepfakes of women and minors.
X has been approached for comment on Tuesday’s raid. The company said last summer it did not intend to comply with French prosecutors’ demands, which it described as “politically motivated”, and denied all allegations against it.
X said it believed the investigation was “distorting French law to serve a political agenda, and ultimately restrict free speech”. It said it was committed to “defending its fundamental rights, protecting user data and resisting political censorship”.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday that the investigation was being conducted as “part of a constructive approach, with the aim of ultimately ensuring that the X platform complies with French laws, insofar as it operates on national territory”.
Despite being described as voluntary, the summonses issued to Musk and Yaccarino are mandatory, but they are hard to enforce on people outside France.
Afterwards, authorities can potentially place suspects in custody.
The prosecutor’s announcement came as Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, promised to protect children from the “digital wild west” and hold tech companies responsible for hateful and harmful content.
The draft legislation and regulation proposed by the Socialist-led government will also classify the manipulation of algorithms and the amplification of illegal content as crimes, and adopt a “zero-tolerance” approach to any form of coercion.
