Apartment concerts — kvartyrnyks — in Ukraine are nothing new. They took place throughout the Soviet years, where Ukrainians could read poetry, sing songs, and freely discuss the government. Veronika Romanova and Mariana Lastovyria write for @timkmak’s Counteroffensive about what it’s like to attend the 2025 version. “The existence of kvartyrnyks demonstrates how Ukrainian culture persists despite constant adversity – whether under authoritarianism or in the face of open war against it,” they write.

Selena Quintanilla was murdered 30 years ago, but that’s far from the most important part of her story. @TexasObserver’s Francesca D'Annunzio reviews a new documentary, “Selena y Los Dinos,” which stitches together old camcorder footage, archival interviews with Selena and new conversations with her family members. “As for the woman who murdered Selena in 1995, the film essentially ignores her altogether. The film’s exploration of the loss of Selena’s life focused on the family’s grief and the late singer’s legacy,” writes D’Annunzio.

Russian bombs have destroyed many of Ukraine’s cities and in doing so, flattened Soviet-era buildings. @timkmak, Mariana Lastovyria and Artem Moskalenko write for The Counteroffensive about whether that might one day create opportunities for a new kind of city planning and building that’s more resilient and better for individuals and communities.

One of TV personality Dr. Phil’s maxims is that you should avoid debt at all costs. At the same time, his son Jay McGraw has been involved in the payday lending industry. @ProPublica collaborated with Anchorage Daily News on a story about his role in CreditServe Inc., a consulting firm that worked with a company owned by a Native American tribe in Alaska that offered small dollar loans, with interest rates as high as 700%. CreditServe provides the infrastructure to market, underwrite and collect on loans while “the Tribe is merely a front” and shares in only a small percentage of the revenue, according to a suit filed by five borrowers. They claim that McGraw has collected hundreds of millions of dollars of consumer payments.

Security engineer @alexhaydock acquired a Wii at the #EMF2024 Swap Shop. He intended to use it to emulate games, but when he realized that it could be used to host a website, he decided to try that instead. @404mediaco’s Samantha Cole spoke to him about how well it’s working, and what he’s planning to do with it (#EMF2026, here he comes). Check out the second link to find out how our friends at 404 are doing, and what they’re cooking up next.

Not everything on the internet is real. Case in point: Your relationship with OnlyFans creators, it turns out. Two former subscribers from Illinois are suing the company because they thought they were talking directly to the platform’s stars rather than agencies hired to manage their messages. @404mediaco’s Samantha Cole explains more [Story may be paywalled].

Some of us may be checking our screens a little more often than usual over the next few days, weeks, or (god help us) months. @TheConversationUS has a great article on overcoming device dependency and digitally detoxing, with tips that go beyond the usual “just put your phone in another room.”

When assistive technology for people with physical disabilities is developed, the final users of it — its “pilots” — are often not involved until the very end. That’s why robotics expert Robert Riener launched the Cybathlon. The technotopian competition takes place every four years — the next tournament is this month in Switzerland and online — and involves eight events including the assistance robot race, in which pilots control a robot assistant from their wheelchairs and the brain-computer interface race, where pilots with quadriplegia use their thoughts to guide an animated avatar through an obstacle course. Here’s more from @KnowableMag.

Back in March, not long after the death of Nex Benedict, @damemagazine’s Catherine Caruso wrote about how schools became so dangerous for LGBTQ kids. The conclusion? Right-wing outlets are trying to start a moral panic; social media platforms have amplified this; and politicians have legislated to support it. “The real-word harm that has unfolded due to anti-LGBTQ bias and misinformation is immeasurable,” Caruso writes.

During a House Rules Committee hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called on President Biden to pull the United States out of NATO, saying the alliance is “not a reliable partner.”
