Apropos everything, I’m reminded of this from Douglas Adams:

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Rule of thumb:

Every Android "update" is a downgrade in features and openness, and an upgrade in restriction.

Thanks, Morgan, for posting this! It gave me a chance to revisit the power of All This Time, like Greg, particularly the line, "Men go crazy in congregations but they get better one by one." I'm fascinated to find I'm not the only one.

So eloquent. Thanks Greg.

@lauren We live in hope. 🙏🏾

Actual conversation I had…

Me: Billionaire philanthropy is nothing more than PR. Tax billionaires.
Troll: Lol you trust the Govt to spend our money?
Me: Yes, the Govt is elected by We the People, and therefore is accountable to us and can be voted out.
Troll: Govt is bought.
Me: Bought by who?
Troll: By billionai—...😳
Me: ...🤔
Troll: Ok, Tax billionaires.

@MacFarlaneNews great to see you here, Scott! Thanks for posting, as always 🙏🏾
@stopgopfox The Carol of the Bells (based on the traditional Ukrainian song of spring, "Shchedryk").

Trump lost the court fight over the seized Mar-a-Lago records on the law. But in the process, he delayed the DOJ probe, pried loose details on the government's investigation, and had another public arena to attack the investigation.

What Trump Lost and Won in His Court Battle Over Mar-a-Lago Records

Four months after FBI agents seized government records from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, his bitterly fought litigation with the Justice Department appears over. He lost in court. And unlike the last time that happened, he opted not to push for another long-shot US Supreme Court showdown.

@tofugolem @stopgopfox @stanstallman Agreed. F*ucking us over since at least 1993.
