To recap the current situation: Obama cut a deal with Iran to limit their uranium enrichment. It worked.
Trump withdrew us from that deal. Iran restarted its nuclear weapons program leading to the point they got close enough to an A bomb that the Israelis attacked.

A nonverbal child with autism was diagnosed as severely intellectually disabled. Babysitter decides to give him some buttons for communication when he was about 10. It took some time, but the parents kept working at it.

Communities around the US are organizing to defend against ICE raids, to protest Israeli genocide, for mutual aid, and for other forms of fighting fascism. Signal can help people safely organize in all of
I like self-hosting my stuff, owning my data, determining my privacy surface area, learning and keeping my admin skills up to date.
Some days, though....I'm just tired of being a sysadmin and want to just sit down and have all the little things done and not have to worry about cluster health and such. Some days I'm just tired of it all and want nothing to do with it.
It's just crazy corpo wants you to pay them to host stuff AND sell your data...
"We have to NUKE TEHRAN!"
"Sir, we can't nuke Tehran, 16.8 million people live in Tehran, most of them innocent civilians"
"Where's that football thingy?!"
"Sir, think this over, you can't put a resort in Tehran if you make it radioactive! And you won't have any customers for your golf courses!"
"FINE!"
